What strikes me about the current situation is that there are so many court cases that have have occurred or that are currently in process that deal with similar issues to this. However, what is odd about this is that sometimes the ruling goes in the favour of the content producers but other times goes in favour of those who facilitate what the content producers see as the 'theft' of their property.
This lack of clarity seems to be as dangerous to our rights as a one-sided view in favour of the content producers. I am particularly worried whether this lack of clarity is because the judges do not have enough experience and knowledge to determine what is right and what is wrong and are simply out of touch with the Internet age. Perhaps we need some more 'net-savvy' judges?
SonyEricsson have got their act together recently. The T68i is the sexiest phone there is at the moment - small, sexy, blue leds as standard, far prettier than any Nokia (what's with Nokia's recent wacky styling anyway?) . The P800 isn't bad design for a phone that tries to do so much.
Let me start by saying that I greatly admire the Mozilla project, in fact I am typing this message from Phoenix.
Now, KHTML was chosen over Gecko for purely practical reasons. It was smaller, faster and easier to integrate with OS X. As posters have already mentioned, Safari is not a cross-platform project, so it does not need all the extra code that guarantees Gecko works on every OS under the sun.
I would guess that the Mozilla project would have had an uneasy relationship with Safari should they have chosen the Gecko renderer. Look at the mozilla website. It says, "Mozilla is an open-source web browser and toolkit." Note "and toolkit". Mozilla's ambitions are far beyond a simple web browser. Mozilla is aiming for a complete web-based cross platform environment, "the web is the OS". This would all be extra baggage for the web browser. KHTML is just a web-rendering component of a conventional GUI (KDE) and thus fits in better with the ethos of the apple desktop environment.
A friend of mine demonstrated the effect of electromagnetic waves exerting a force by showing me a little gadget that he kept by his window.
It consists of a small sealed glass sphere, and inside it is a rotating axis with pieces of very thin aluminium foil attached to it (i.e. like a windmill but with light). Amazingly, it spins round even on a moderately overcast day.
Oh, my Tux, my darling
i've hungered for your drivers
A long, unix epoch
Time goes by
At 1000Hz interrupts
And time can do so much
Are you still POSIX?
I need your stable VM
I need your kexec
God speed your async I/O
to me!

Ok you beat me: my version of quake 3 is the 'Demo Test' version!

So how soon should I expect to get a call from MR.FRANCIS SANKOH from APEX BANK OF NIGERIA? As if telephone marketeers weren't bad enough....
Exactly what does this mean???
It's just a shame that I can't access either of those articles now!

Well, in fact Bond was never meant to be a spy. He was a secret agent, which is a completely different profession, licence to kill et al.
In fact Bond only performed proper espionage on one occasion, where he had to obtain a file (can't for the life of me remember which one).
