Mein... may invoke the association of "Mein Kampf" if you hardly ever see German words at all. It absolutely doesn't "rhyme" for the eye of a German reader. Another thing is that this book's title is remarkedly irrelevant in a current German context. Mind you it disappeared about 60 years ago, my father may have seen one of them when he was a child.
Well, I must have fallen victim to some serious hype aka marketing lie^H^H^H fantasy but looking at those JDS screenshots Im just disappointed. Where did I grasp that idea that there was a 3D desktop concept growing - something that would in fact justify the financial and noise - toll of a "current" graphic card for me if I could dolly and rotate my desktop environment, building galaxies and clusters of desktop links, windows and whatever and let me dive through it like I dive through Celestia? A pipe dream, nice dope though.
What theese screenshots show is a glorified NT4 green, a colour I associate with stability (+) and messages pointing out that there are no valid drivers for device %whatsoever% (--)
It looks to me like this might have been a cool thing to have as a desktop in 1998 or something...
Computers can do all this for some time now, nothing new to expect here.
But how much noise does that box make? When you go shopping for silent components, the price moves up rapidly. Or you have to compromise on performance like with Via C3.
Still, nothing new here. Where is the news?
Mini-mac, I say. Apple threatens to offer a viable solution to the above dilemma and intel blows some marketing dust in the public eyes to the tune of "me too!".
Hd failures are leading my list of defective computer parts with nothing else coming even close to it.
I had bought a number of maxtor drives at the end of the nineties when maxtors 40GB drive were both the largest and most affordable consumer EIDE drives. They came with a three years warranty then and to my utter astonishment the entire maxtor family (5 drives) managed to die within weeks to months after the respective warranties ran out.
Clack-clack-click clack-clack-click - the sound of maxtor.
I enjoyed following your thoughts and explanations and while I don't share your believes I feel sympathy and respect for your position.
You seem to be part of a stream of thought which has been part of the christian universe of ideas for a long time (and there are parallel ideas in many other religions.)
Historically, people like you have a good chance to lead a calm and normal life in periods when earthly and ecclestial powers are kept well separated from each other or at least counterbalance each other.
If this is not the case, survival is endangered. Autodafes, burning heretics, "whiches" and members of concurent sects, faiths or religions is a fine tradition of Christians at rule.
Once again I catch myself viewing this in terms of medieval military actions, like MS sitting sieged in their huge fortress, supplies are plenty but the cannons keep shooting and every other week one of the towers goes down. No problem, there are lots of towers and even more teams they can order to repair and rebuild the citadell. Only, as times go it starts to paralize them. Fixing, fixing the fixes and adapting to the fixed environment creeps into everything they do, eroding their energy to act.
So what? It's just stupidity spinning around itself - stupid people doing stupid things for stupid reasons. Switching on their level, use their corporate lingo and name the thing "TWXP" will make anything better? Bah! The PHB will find some other stupid reason in a minute. He will do so until PHB weekly has an editorial covering the "new thing" or his buddy at the golf couse tells him about the miracle his genius son setup in no time at all.
so before it finally goes down to its knees, here is the text:
Google's Browser Plans October 19th, 2004 - jesus_x For several months, there's been a lot of buzz around Google's April 2004 registration of the gbrowser.com domain. After quite a while of digging, I believe I've managed to boil some truth out of the rumor stew. While this is pure speculation, it's speculation based on a wide variety of facts gathered over the past three months. Feel free to take it with a generous helping of salt.
The Mozilla developers have been stone silent on the issue, aside from a few accidental slips, but several other sources have let loose other bits of information. Interestingly, there's either great confusion on the plans (or a highly partitioned project inside Google), or a good deal of misinformation. Trying to determine what's real and what's not is like making a Venn diagram. Each source is a circle filled with information. Some information is common to all or many circles, some information only comes from one source. you have to put all the circles together, and where they overlap is the most reliable information. So after weeks of analysis, this is where we think Gbrowser is headed.
The overlap is looking like a Google branded and customized Firefox based browser. To help set it apart from the rest of the browser crowd, they're integrating a lot of their own technologies. Since Firefox does not contain a mail app, they're integrating Gmail for email access, with a built in new-mail notifier. Interestingly, mailto: urls will work with Gmail, allowing peple to click email links in pages and have Gmail open a new mail to that address, as well as IE-like buttons on the toolbar for composing new mail from scratch.
Newsgroups will be built in similar to Gmail with the Google Groups service, and possibly the ability to select groups to watch, like in a full fledged newsreader (like Mozilla Thunderbird). And Google News will also have built in access from the browser along with Google Alerts or a similar, RSS-based feature.
Other features include better search integration, with the extra features such as Image Searching by right clicking on an image or selected word. As Silicon.com found there is also a Google branded IM service on the way as well, and could be a Jabber or rebranded AIM also coming bundled with the browser.
There are other, extra-browser features that will most likely come with it, and tie into the browser, such as Google Desktop Search, Picasa (with links to the browser for web-related sharing, searching, etc.), and Google Toolbar features that IE users currently enjoy.
Also, Google loves the recently aquired Blogger, and will have built in linkage to Blogger and rich-editing tools, making Blogger a highly integrated feature, with the ability to blog links and web-content as easily as using their integrated GMail features.
As I stated, Mozilla.org and Mozilla developers have been very quiet on all of this. But with such an open organization, it's hard to hide all secrets. There have been a lot of hidden bugs in Bugzilla related to searching, bugs that even members of the Security group can't access. Recently, there was a bug duplicated to a confidential bug with the following comment by the triager: "This is a duplicate of a private bug about working with Google. So closing this one." That bug also now closed, but it was open long enouch for people to notice it.
There's also a lot of 'covert' code going into the tree without individual bug references. And none of these patches are being checked in by Google staff, but by other Mozilla developers, ostensibly checking in code for Google employees to keep a low profile. None of this is Google-exclusive, per se, as much as it is code that one could easily see as making life easier for a third party developer making heavy integration changes. the checking comments are usually very technically described, possibly to obfuscate their use to the majority of watchers to maintain the secret.

(_!_) This is your butt. (_O_) This is your butt on goatse.cx. Any questions?
This will probably earn me an offtopic mod or worse but looking at your sig I was reminded of a bit I saw on yahoo scox message board yesterday. Enjoy!
sounds fine until you realize this is not the only arab kid around but has brothers and cousins and friends and so on, who all might get "brainwashed" or rather, they take their brother/cousin/friends senseless death as the last argument needed to conclude that indeed USofA is the Big Satan and a high price is justified to hit those devils.
To make the logic of yor statement work you may need to commit genocide.

Sadly, I think most people are in agreement that America will not stop using oil, until it stops existing.
It? America? Or the oil? Or whichever lasts longer.
or maybe Intel really has another reason to mention Apple, like scaring a distributor which maybe got too much self esteem?
Ie., Dell?
well, at least toolbar.netcraft.com is

thanks.
Just the sort of answer I was hoping for - now, why is your comment rated at zero (while deserving a +3 informative)?

Utah secret code
I think you might have a typo there, ahh, just a second while I finish comparing it...
I had to tweak the syntax to make it work:
/usr/bin/less /usr/bin/more
/bin/more /usr/bin/less
Welcome to Darwin!
eisvogel:~ eisvogt$ ls -li $(which less; which more;)
211898 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 123204 24 Sep 02:40
211901 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 123204 24 Sep 02:40
So I checked it with (SuSE 8.2) Linux and:
dp@star:~> ls -li $(which less; which more;)
26480 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27424 Oct 2 2003
6149 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 168732 Oct 2 2003
less is more than more!
