My point was "If you _really_ miss a feature, then maybe you should start looking around for an alternative which offers it.". I could have said "You miss it? Go join the f**king team and implement it yourself.", instead of at least trying to be helpfull. Which _you_ weren't either, by the way...
Well, I don't know even know INS... Maybe you could clarify that (By the way, I was close to ignoring your comment anyway, as "anonymous" doesn't sound like "I'm willing to stand up for what I said"...) Geographically speaking, again: No World map or Atlas I checked gives Russia as European, but Asian (Online you might want to check http://www.weltkarte.com/karten.htm "Asien" which lists Russia) I may be wrong about this, but I doubt it. I will check back with a russian friend of mine.
But with the current political stress I'd say a "space race" has the definite potential to raise another cold war and I sure as hell don't want that...
Depends on whether you count population or area as "part" of Russia... Populationwise you're right, but Russia (more specifically Siberia, which belongs to Russia) extends WAY further east...
Nope, neither politically: Russia is NOT a member of the Eropean Union (nothing east of and including Poland is, btw.), nor geographically: Russia resides on the Asian "half" of the "Eurasian Continent" and is thereby asian (They also border Mongolia and China, remember?).
PS: At least I wouldn't be wondering if Europe and Russia were to cooperate on this, but I sure don't hope for another "space race"... Would be one hell of sight though... Europe/Russia vs. China vs. USA?:-)

Installed it over 5.03 on SuSE Linux 8.1 and the only difficulty I encountered was the qt-shared version didn't start (allocation error, possibly due to a corrupted file anyway), so I downloaded the static version and everything went smooth, it even included my old preferences. One thing bothers me, though: In the Hotlist Bookmarks (which I rarely use) every folder name is prefixed by two(!!) Folder symbols... Anyone else got this?
Possibly not... Many "modern" cheats don't change files on your disk(s) at all, because simple checksums can prevent this. Instead they modify values in your RAM directly, which is more nitty-gritty, but harder to prevent. And: This is possible on consoles too, as they have RAM as well (For the PlayStation there are a lot of "Modules" that are inserted into it's serial port, another way is to load a CD with "malicious" code before loading the game...)
What i would really be interested in is "How does Doom3 do on what system?" I've seen it suck heavily (way more than UT2k3) on gaming power, so, afaik it is the "killer-app" (Please excuse the buzzword, just couldn't resist:-) at the moment, isnt't it? So where's the review on that? Anyone knows something about its performance?
I think we should take into consideration the fact that almost all "geek" sites on the net feature a distictly different audience than any survey "on the street". _We_ may be against biometric ID's, knowing our bit about the technology behind it and having our portion of paranoia since we read 1984, but _we do not_ represent the majority of the people out there, do we? From day-to-day experience I'd like to judge that an overwhelming amount of people is plain dumb. For them politics is honest unless the news report another "scandal", Windows(TM) _is_ their computer (if they have one) and biometric ID's might sound like a good idea against criminals... I guess the question that should really be asked here is: "Do we want democracy or 'The ruling of the geeks'?":-)

Opera 7 has this (Close all but active Ctrl+Alt+W). I have to admit though, that Opera sucks on small screens...

If you're interested in Mars-Exploration, but "NASA estimated 300 billion dollars to do it" got you thinking, you might want to read these, as they come to a quite different estimate: ...and its german branch :-)
:-)
- The Mars-Society...
-
- Robert Zubrin & Mars Direct
- Robert Zubrin's "The Case for Mars", a book I can absolutely recommend
- The german link again (I'm a german, so please bear with me, ok?
I hope these may be of help...

Looks like the site is still down, dammit. Anyone got a mirror (Hey, possibly the site was up a minute in the meantime, eh?) ?
