Naysayers, read the dpreview.com review and then post. Clearly, this upgrade has more new stuff than meets the eye. As a Photoshop 7 user and digital photographer, it looks like I will definitely be upgrading.
26" in America, 700c in Europe.
This is simply misinformation. In both America and Europe, 26" wheels are used for mountain bikes (and sometimes hybrids), and 700c wheels are used for road bikes (and sometimes hybrids). Of course other sizes, like 20", 24", 29", 650c, are also used for special applications.
So sure you can likely build yourself one without pissing anybody off, but don't plan to start a business making them for another decade or two.
I could swear the article said that.
That sounds nice. I get 500 in my plan, but can't get any more. For other plans, it's $3 for 500. Sounds like you've got a better deal.
As for this keyboard, I think it might be good if you've got the right sized hands. Personally, I think my T9 Text Input is plenty fast. I'm not sure if this could go much faster.
i actually like the unix copy paste method becasue you only need to use 1 input device. Copy+paste between programs takes advantage (and soetimes needs) the mouse to select text, change apps and chose where to paste. However in win32, you ALSO need to use the keyboard to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V or use menus for a simple task.
Often, this menu is available from the right click, meaning you're still only using one input device. I just did that to quote you.
I'm not sure if one's allowed to endorse Microsoft on this site, but my vote goes to Microsoft's Naturale Elite keyboard. I picked one up on eBay with USB converter (in the box with the keyboard) for $25. You may not like natural keyboards, but this is truly an excellent keyboard. You probably wont be able to find one in store. Great board, great value.
I go to the local bookstore and see tons of books like this in the computer section. "How to operate the easiest software you've ever laid hands on," etc. Not only are these (especially Apple iApps) pieces of software extremely easy to use immediately, they actually do have online help. Waste of paper and shelf space, if you ask me.
Whether this group succeeds or not, it's good to see them standing up and fighting. The general populus might take more notice and the government certainly will. This is a step in the right direction.
"Wherefore" means "why," not "where." When Shakespeare wrote, "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" he was saying, "Why are you 'Romeo?'" As in, "Why did you have to be born the son of my father's enemy?"
Basic literacy, you know?
Arrogancy does not have to come along with literacy...
USB is for low-impact perhipherals like cameras, scanners, input devices, and pocket-drives.
It's not even well suited for some of these. Scanners often produce very high-resolution images that would be better transferred with FireWire and the same goes for digital cameras, especially as higher-resolution ones become more common. For most cameras, FireWire card readers are the only option since built-in FireWire is only on very expensive cameras.
Then you don't get out much. Use google if you must. Tabs are merely a poor substitute for a decent window manager.
Apparently, the definition of 'getting out' to you is discussing the merits of features of web browsers. But I won't judge you for your social life.
If you hadn't noticed, OmniWeb is an OS X browser. You can't use this browser in X11 with the window manager of your choice. You are forced to use it in Apple's windowing environment. Anyways, I still say that tabbed browsing doesn't get in the way of those that don't use it. If I haven't gotten out enough and that turns to be false, so be it. Go use OmniWeb or Internet Explorer, but you'll notice that the number of non-tabbed browsers is shrinking.
As you said, you can simply not use tabs if you don't like them. Therefore they're not intrusive as a feature to those who wont use them. I stand by my statement that having tabbed browsing would bring more users to (or back to) OmniWeb.
They're waiting for eveyone else to jump off a bridge first.
This is nonsense.
I've met one person ever that didn't like tabbed browsing. Everyone else recognizes it for what it is, a very useful feature. Also, it's unobtrusive for those that wish not to use it. I think that if they added this, they'd get a lot more people to try (or come back to, in my case) to their browser.
I see what you mean, but you can choose not to upgrade and still be okay. You don't miss out on too much stuff. And if you do choose to upgrade, you truly get a lot.
This may be tough for developers and leave them scrambling for a little while, but it's fair to the user. They should have the right in all countries to know what data their cookies store and how it's being used.
Okay, an article on Gentoo
on
Gentoo Reviewed
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I felt that review was incomplete and rather poorly written. In addition, it spoke too broadly and not about the specific features that make Gentoo appealing. And frankly, I don't care that he had to switch his motherboard or that he needed a special patch for his graphics card. But we all know the old saying: any publicity is good publicity, not to mention this was a positive review. So, it's good to see some publicity on Gentoo (it's quite a good distribution) but that article stank.:D

I don't recall claiming to have compiled a complete list.

So what? Those japanese are always getting sick from stuff like this.
[OmniWeb is] MacOSX only though You're assuming he doesn't have any NeXT boxes lying around! How could you make such an assumtion?

settling for a 5400RPM disk is pretty sucky Or, in the case of many notebooks (Powerbooks included), 4200 RPM!
This is excellent news to see technology like this becoming reality. Very inexpensive too, compared to some of the Sony batteries, heh.

Don't be snooty. Even nice apartments in some places can have cockroaches.

Meant to be the easy, graphical, curses frontend, but in reality much more complicated than using apt-get, etc.
I found it quite funny! Ha! Ha! English!
I think many would agree with me that "Learning Perl" has a consistent and tasteful, slightly humorous tone through the whole book. Very effective.
