Or UMTS, the "3G" standard used in most of Europe and Asia.
Most 2.1 GHz UMTS phones also speak GSM, but UMTS would be a great feature as it allows much faster download speeds, which could be handy if you're downloading 128 kb/s AAC song files! It would allow you to download a three minute song in one minute.
The whole point of Beta1/2 and RC1/2/3 was to give developers, especially extension developers, ample time to update their extensions. If they don't make use of that time, it's their fault for not supporting their users. But on that note, very little changed API-wise between FF1.5 and FF2, so much extension updates involve nothing more than bumping the "maxVersion" string.
Some parts of the API are broken in FF2. For instance, there is a new event dispatch system that causes a custom handler for the onpopuphiding event (the documented way to handle your own custom menu being hidden) to crash the browser. I reported this bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3493 14) during the beta process, but it hasn't yet been fixed. This kind of problem can be worked around after some hours of debugging, but I think Microsoft places a higher value on backwards compatibility than Mozilla does. It's also annoying that there's not really any official API for extending tab functionality, so you end up having to use internal variable names that could change at any time.

Without getting into technical details, the nature of a switching power supply is that it delivers as much power as is demanded by the components. This means that when installed in a PC whose components require 200W, a 400W PSU and a 250W PSU will each deliver 200W....
As long as there is adequate power, higher efficiency is the key to cooler, quieter PSU operation.
In other words, power supplies only draw as much power as they need to meet the computer's power needs, so all power supplies will draw less power when you're web surfing than when you're playing games or running intensive calculations. What's most important is how efficiently a power supply converts AC power into DC power, and hence how much AC power it must draw to supply that demand.
In Germany, lemonade is a generic term for soft drink or soda. On a hot day in a bar in Dresden, I asked for a "limonade", to which the barman replied: "Fanta"?.
You can also customize them in Postfix, but the nature of the message means nobody reads them anyway.
Your custom message will appear as a single line below four or five lines of technical jargon appended by the sender's own SMTP program. There is no ability to add formatting or hyperlines, as it's just plain text.
Including the web address for a blacklist lookup (e.g. "Your message was blocked because it came from a server that sent spam, please see http://sorbs.net/lookup?ip=w.x.y.z") has proved completely ineffective.
A human contact name and number is probably a little more likely to be noticed, but the problem still remains that the bounce messages are too hard to read.
Other options for Ogg Vorbis support include Illiminable Ogg Codecs for Windows and OggDS. OggDS has been around the longest, but it's now unmaintained and last time I tried it it didn't support adding files to the Windows Media Player library (I had to drag and drop single files into the Windows Media Player window to play them). Illiminable also claims to support the new additions to the Ogg family such as Speex, Theora, and FLAC, so that one seems more promising.
There's also a program to edit Ogg Vorbis files inside Windows Explorer called Vorbis Extension.
The page you linked to doesn't list support for the Ogg container format or the Ogg Vorbis audio format. The ffdshow audio decompressor page doesn't list Ogg Vorbis and says that it is "almost unusable".
The HDW-3 product page doesn't giv dimensions, so it's hard to tell. Do you know how long it is?
The HS26-W is 2.6 inches long, which means it only extends about an inch past your ear. They all hav to extend slightly past your ear (towards your mouth) so that the microphone can pick up your speech. I think this one's quite a good compromise between a long headset arm and poor sound quality.
I bought a Nokia NS-26W bluetooth headset about a month ago. It clips around the back of the ear rather than over the top. It's reasonably comforable when I'm wearing my sunglasses.
It is known that the presence of greenhouse gasses (particularly carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere causes warming.
It is known that human activities hav caused a substantial increase in the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
Many instances where this effect is most profound hav been traced to human emissions from coal power plants, measured by the ratio of the carbon isotopes.
Global warming is a well supported scientific theory. To suggest it is unproven is misleading at best.
I never thought I would become a Microsoft Outlook advocate, but after using Lotus Notes at work for the past two years, I bought a copy of Outlook and installed the Outlook Notes Connector just to avoid Lotus Notes.
The Lotus Notes client provides such a poor user experience. Just to name the most obvious problems: the menus are substantially different from other applications, preferences are hidden several levels deep in weird places, the toolbar buttons and the bookmarks sidebar are pointless, copy and paste doesn't work properly for things like addresses and names, the main window steals focus if you have X-Mouse/focus follows mouse enabled, HTML formatted messages aren't layed out correctly, and contact synchronization with my cell phone overwrites all numbers with the contact's work number. To make it worse IBM support doesn't want to know about any problems in the product and the online help isn't very helpful.
IBM needs to get its shit together before trying to push Notes. It would take a lot to make me consider it again.

What happened to backspace? Is this behavior new in Firefox 2?

Trying to search using an HTML GET query (for instance by using the address http://www.searchmash.com/?query=foo) doesn't do anything.

This means I can't add it as a keyword search in Firefox.
What do you have to back up your claim of "more security patches released that the previous version"?
If true, perhaps this actually suggests they are paying more attention to security than before?
In any case, I'm glad we haven't seen anything on the scale of Blaster since XP SP2.
Software Engineering teaches you the disciplines of proper planning, estimation, design, and quality assurance.
It does not give you the knowledge necessary to keep your code clean or your site loading fast. That's programming knowledge!

So setting the pref to 0 gives you 1 and setting it to 2 gives you none.
Heaven forbid it should be logical!
Is this the end for our superhero? Tune in tomorrow for the next exciting episode of... Slashdot!

Why does it need to be commutative? Do you expect it to be? What would you expect string1 + string2 to do?
not that language which overloads "+" for string+number is sane; that ought to be a compile error
Do you think there should be a string concatenation operator at all?

I honestly believe that GAIM looks like garbage.
I like the way Gaim blends in with my desktop theme. Neither Trillian nor MSN do this.
