5. Using mouse gestures means no more having to find that pesky little back button.
4. I love that button in the corner where you can easily toggle weather or not to load images... its great for slow loading graphics laden pages over dial-up.
3. The "quick preferences" submenu under the File menu allows you to enable or dissable cookies and javascript, accept or refuse popup windows, or spoof the identity of your broser, all with one click.
2. Tabbed browsing - Opera had it first!
1. Google searches, straight from the address bar.

This rule has always baffled me. can somebody plese explain the reason for this? What is the advantage of having a cell phone that craps out when you go under power lines, and of having a law that says there is nothing you can do about it?
Sounds to me like just another example of the Man trying to keep us down...
According to Microsoft's bugtraq report, its not the Java Virtual Machine that has the problem, its the "Microsoft Virtual Machine"... I thought that was cute, kinda like claiming the ".html" extention maps to a "Microsoft HTML Document", as I've seen under the Windows defaults.
This seems to be the direct result of IE forsaking proper applet support for that crappy Active X-plugin-thing we now have to put up with.
Performance overhead for XML to great? The parameter parsing code gets run once, at startup, on a short file. Not withstanding the numerous XML parsing libraries out there, any programmer worth his salt ought to be able to write a quick and dirty XML parser with low overhead.
XML also give the advantage of being able to document the settings in a systematic manner that can be applied across a variety of config files. Your system doesn't seem to offer that. At least with s around, you have some inkling of the purpose of a given piece of data. I think such a product is a must, if ever *nix is going to make a strong play at being a viable desktop alternative.
Better yet, XML can easily be parsed into dialogs... it would be very nice to have a third party tool that could configure options for a variety of software packages in a easily understandable GUI design.
Finally, XML is an existing and widely accepted standard which is familiar to many users across diciplines. Those can be hard to come by. Might as well build on its strengths rather than try to invent a new standard fresh out of the blue.

How do you figure out which tool Marvin the Paranoid Android will want to use to open the hatchway from the Heart of Gold out onto the planet? He asks for a different tool every time. I've been stuck there for months....

because living in a dorm is a lot more fun than living in your parent's basement.
because there are some fine colleges in Hawaii.
because employers don't like it if they only see you when you are hung over or still plastered.... but professors are used to it.
two words: spring break.
because you will never get laid if you spend your life hanging out in a room full of other people's computers and posting to Slashdot.
...somebody had to say it.
