I'm right-handed and I started using my mouse in my left hand for a while because my wrist was starting to ache. After about a month I switched back and it doesn't hurt any more.
The BSDs are derived from the same source -- 4.3BSD, so although they are no longer officially UNIX, they have enough of the heritage there. Linux was written from scratch, and so does not have any UNIX heritage to draw from.
This is my own interpretation of it however. I don't know what the official stance is.
I don't think I've ever seen them blur the mouth on our shows -- only on US imports where it's already done on the film. We Brits are fairly casual about swearing.
I always thought it used the number of times you'd played a song previously as some factor in the shuffle, because mine always seemed to play songs I listened to a lot.
England -- and if you've ever installed with a different keyboard/language you have to click Apply in between everything you do to force it to remove the US keyboard layout.
Keyboard Map > English (British) > Apply > Remove US > Apply > Set Language to British > Apply > Set British as default > Apply > Remove American > Apply
If you don't do all of these it gives you that annoying toolbar with the language selector that re-appears on each reboot, and the US layout is still installed.
I have to say, I got an 1100 on the reccomendation of someone on Slashdot and I am very impressed with it. It's got all the best bits from the past Nokias without all the excess, and is very nice to use.
Because Explorer is awful, and crashes quite often, especially during network operations. You'd be suprised just how much difference it makes using a different shell -- I was using Program Manager and File Manager (copied from an old NT4 disc onto my work XP machine) at one point and the whole machine was a lot more stable. I would love to be able to run KDE natively on XP, for when FreeBSD is not available;)
I wonder if this can be linked to speech as well? Men talk to solve problems, women talk to share them. Could explain why more men are technically minded (mechanics, computers, etc) and more women are in caring professions (nurses, teachers, etc).
Is that why my site returns lots of listings of the directories with (e.g.) 'domain.tld/dir/?C=x;O=x' after the URL? It looks a little odd, especially as the only dynamic content my site uses is Server-Side Includes.

It's not the default, but if you mean that target="_new" opens a new tab rather than a new window, this is supported in the Firefox nightlies at the moment.
I really REALLY wish people would stop comparing Macs to Dells. I'm sick of it. I don't care which is better, I have both and each has it's advantages, but price comparisons and spec-by-spec analyses are gettin on my tit.
I've gone the other way, I've got an iPod and I recently adopted my brother's Sharp MiniDisc player. I have used the MiniDisc player more often now because I like being able to cut out the computer, and I like the battery life on it (it takes a single, rechargable AA so if the battery runs out on a journey I can replace it easily). MiniDiscs themselves are more awkward to carry around (and suprisingly heavy for their size) but since getting my Hi-Fi rigged up the MD is far more convenient.
What happened to the feeling of F/OSS helping each other? Does it really matter what platform the software is running on? I love UNIX (I'm a FreeBSD user when I can be) but am currently running Windows on my laptop because it works well as a desktop OS. I also have SFU and Xming running on it, Putty, AbiWord, GIMP, gVim and a whole host of other OSS. If these weren't available for Windows I would just use hooky Win32 equivalents.
OSS is free for people to do what they like with it. If what they like is for it to run on Windows, then all the better for them.
England is the same, even on the five terrestrial channels. The Sopranos is/was broadcast on Channel 4 at around 11, and Five gets porn after about the same time. And we're supposed to be the reserved nation.
Traffic lights on roundabouts are a really bad idea in my opinion --- there's one I go over every day (in the UK) and it just seems to hold up traffic. The roundabouts without lights run much smoother.
As an aside the "Magic Roundabout" around here is in Hemel Hempstead, and consists of six mini-roundabouts in a circle around a large roundabout. The result being it's one of the few roundabouts where it is perfectly legal to go round it the wrong way, and there is traffic coming from ALL directions.
It's not IE-based. BT are currently working very closely with Yahoo!, and the BT Communicator is basically Yahoo! Messenger with the ability to dial telephones.

As far as I know though that was real LEGO, not computer-generated lego, making it even more impressive.

Close -- middle was Menu and right was Adjust.

To be honest I've never noticed, I switch between orientations without even noticing.
