The most popular alien race will be Vulcan-Romulan hybrids a la Saavik, and the second most popular alien race will be that one with the bumpy foreheads.

Rubik's Cube Comeback

I also love the 4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge, but was deeply discouraged by how easily it broke. Basically the "feet" that anchored each piece of the cube to the core snapped off too easily, causing the entire thing to come apart.
I don't think they would have had this problem had it been larger, so that the individual pieces were as big as and (presumably) as durable as the pieces in the original 3x3x3 cube.
Apple makes sweet laptops, but the lack of Page Up/Down, Home, and End keys is inexcusable.
That's why I love the ThinkPads--good keyboard layouts.
As far as having less useful keys around goes, I suppose one could always use a remapper. I always swap the CAPS LOCK with the Left CTRL key, for example.
Speaking of which, pckeyboard.com offers a bunch of Linux friendly keyboards with this configuration AND the bulletproof IBM Model M construction. Great keyboards, if a little pricy, though.
With Slashdot open, Phoenix takes up 21MB of RAM. Under the same conditions, K-Meleon 0.6 is using up 11MB and Opera 6.0 w/o Java uses 8MB. All three seemed to take about the same amount of time to start.
Does any of this really mean anything? I my unscientific and statistically insignificant conclusion is that it's a great effort, but it would be nice if Phoenix were even leaner and faster. 21MB is not insignificant.
I'd like to think that even in this day and age an old P166MMX, 80MB EDO, NT4 is still good enough to surf the web. (Mozilla 1.1 is essentially unusable on this dinosaur.)
Even if it doesn't really make a difference as a practical matter, I would hope these bragging rights still mean something to the anti-bloat coder.

It looks like a nice clock, but I would think one would prefer a bigger screen for the price.
