One of the cool things about this review is the load and rendering charts. It's cool to see that sort of information since i'm so impatient. While i see that this is an OS dependant article, comparing the load/rendering times to IE would have been interesting. Another issue to bring up is java. Any browser that chokes on a java app or javascript gets a big thumbs down. I don't think they stress that point enough. I don't want to spawn a different browser to go to a site just because it has java on it. I want to completely configure one browser, and have it work everytime. It doesn't need to manage my email and do all of my accounting, just browse everything, as fast as possible with little or no errors.
In my opinion, IPv6 should be started alongside of IPv4, allowing people to jump back and forth to either. I wouldn't be suprised if the bigger backbone providers did testing like this, and if they aren't already. Everyone will be dying to jump on the IPv6 bandwagon sure enough.
While I agree that getting DivX working in linux is a hack job, it can be done. I urge you to think about giving a little more credit to the open source, no funding projects that even allow the possibility of DivX to work. Sometimes these people code it in their spare time with little or no monies. Usually I try to appreciate any "free lunch", even if it's not a sirloin steak.
"To me, the respect people have shown me over the years for all the hard work and dedication we've put into the site is something i never want to trade in on - because its worth more than any amount of money to me."
It's just my opinion that anyone can be bought, and large companies with money can usually place themselves into contention in any game if they have the money. Any large corp. like Dell for example, doesn't need to get respect or have a "creative" page, they can buy any web presense they need, and people _will_ visit their site. Now I agree that people can click on Dell's site just as easily as MT, but big companies play on consumers emotions, and this allows otherwise dumb companies to contend with often better, richer, web presences.
In my opinion, the one flaw in his theory is, he thinks you can't buy respect. I say you can. money is power, take a look around it's a big rat race. I say, everyone has a price, i'm sure he does too. It's the same reason big music artists "sell-out". Oh and let's face it, there isn't much most people wouldn't do for the almighty dollar.
There is one thing that strikes my attention about kparts in the listing of disadvantages. "A single component can bring down the entire application." That can be annoying, I wonder if they'll find a way to implement another application to catch the falling components should there be a problem. Personally, I'd rather have 2 windows doing 2 different things, as that's a favorite X feature. Nothing against KDE, i like/use it. I really like the krash handler too. a lot.

Yeah because if you don't buy "Advanced C Programming By Example", then K&R might fall over on the shelf.
Actually the photos moved to here.
Just throw some T&A on the article borders. No need for ads. If you build it, they will come!
All you have to fill out is
1. your home address
2. social security number
3. major credit card number
4. DOB and mothers maiden name
This is just for ad purposes we promise. You don't want us to go away do you???

I understand. I had a problem with this part:

quick addition is there are programs which optimizeit for you and tell you what to cut out to reduce collection, increase performance.
