What might be interesting to note here is that the summary isn't everything there is to side-by-side (SxS) assemblies.
Suppose you're building an application using two DLLs, let's call them A and B. Both depend on a third DLL named C. Now, suppose A uses C version X, and B uses C version Y. You're screwed, right? Not with SxS, since that allows multiple versions of C to be loaded. That's the real added value of SxS.
All this is in theory of course, which as we all know is in theory equal to practice, but in practice is not...
there's no clear way to define a per-device mapping
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys, select keyboard to apply to. I've had per-keyboard mappings (one for my macbook's builtin keyboard and one for my Model M) since 10.4.x (Tiger).
Once I press Stop the page loads and displays properly however the browser will lock up for approximately 30 seconds.
That's caused by the large amount of Javascript processing/.'s dynamic frontpage does. I disabled the dynamic frontpage and all the other ajaxy features of/. and now it's quite usable on my iPhone 3G. On my commute I occasionally even find myself reading comments and moderating.
The great thing is they only need the stem cells, not the fat itself, so they can get paid twice. Actually, if you factor in getting paid to remove it, they get paid thrice!

Name a well-known (outside of engineering) engineer.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (president of Iran), who has a doctorate in civil engineering and traffic transportation planning.
In your country, do contractors and repair people carry plastic card terminals around with them?
Actually, some do. It's seen as preferrable to lugging around large amounts of cash.
Those terminals simply use the ubiquitous GSM network, and you pay the same way as you'd be paying at a local merchant: swipe your card, enter your PIN and press OK.
Indeed, I've been able to do this for about 10 years already. I don't think I even have cheques anymore. Heck, I don't even think my *bank* has paper cheques anymore.
Skype is actively blocked here in EU by many ISPs, because some big telcos and their ISP branches decided that Skype is eating too much into their pie.
Could you give an example? It's most certainly not the case here in the Netherlands, and there would be a huge outcry if this were so. The European Commission is pretty strict on anti-competitive measures, especially those by the former state monopolies.
Prolonged use of testosterone or other steroids causes testicular atrophy. Yes, that means after a couple of years of this you'll end up pretty much a eunuch.

i distinctly remember a case against a christian politician a while back (can't remember his name), he basically said that homosexuals were no better than thieves (he meant in a religious way). Some homosexual movement took offense and took him to court, he lost, I'm very sure of that.
I looked it up. You're speaking of a quote by RPF (bible literalist christian party) politician Leen van Dijke, who said "why should a homosexual be any better than a thief?" He was sued for discrimination but was aquitted by the Hoge Raad (supreme court).

Try saying that you think homosexuals are sick*. You will get into problems with the law, even if it is your honest to god opinion.
*disclaimer; i'm not a bigot by any means, i just used those things as examples.
No you won't. Hell, if you're a priest for a religious movement that is large enough, you can even be subsidised by the government.
You will be criticised by the press, that's for sure. But no judge is going to convict you for saying that.

oh yes, maybe you should also think about this: The usa just voted in its first black president, in the netherlands people went nuts when rotterdam recently got its first morrocan born mayor. Dutch tolerance is a myth.
In the interest of full disclosure: I'm dutch.
Yeah, I'm afraid you have a point. Dutch tolerance is more a sort of institutionalised indifference.
However, you must take into account that right up until the 1950's, most Dutch people had only seen foreigners as pictures in a book. Even I at 27 years can recall watching TV in primary school, and half the class starting to scream and yell profanities because the announcer was black.
That's not an excuse, it's just how it is: people that are "different" are scary. In the Netherlands it used to be the Turkish Dutch, now it's the Moroccan Dutch. In the US it's the gays and potheads.
I live in the Netherlands (y'know, Europe, where the history comes from), yet I visit a lot of websites based on the Northern American continent. Trust me, transatlantic latency is significant.
It's even worse with Japanese websites, since for some reason all traffic to those sites have to go via the US.
And it's been my observation that if I haven't visited that site for more than a day, it has to reload _every_ _frigging_ page element.
Oh, yeah, I just realised why this might be: ETags doesn't tell the browser if makes any sense to put a resource into its on-disk cache. This can only be reliably determined from the Expires header (or, lacking that, maybe guessed from the Last-Modified header, but I don't know if common browsers do that). So if it's missing, a resource doesn't get cached beyond a single browsing session, thus producing the behaviour I'm seeing.
Yes, but "ETags" have their own set of problems. And it's been my observation that if I haven't visited that site for more than a day, it has to reload _every_ _frigging_ page element. I haven't looked further into that, but figured that since there are so many web developers that don't understand caching, Greg was just one of them.
I suppose setting the "Expires" header could be even more cache-friendly
The huge advantage "Expires" has is that it allows the browser not to send any request at all.
Nah, it's more because website designers still haven't figured out how to make compact, fast-loading websites. They swear by flash, while we swear at it. They forget to set content expiry properly so your browser reloads all their little images every time you revisit their site (yes Greg Dean of Real Life Comics, I'm looking at you). They consider their site to be "unfinished" if its frontpage is below 500 kbyte.
That site mentioned in the article, ancestry.com, has 59,6 kbyte of HTML, 56,99 kbyte of CSS, 64,88 kbyte of images and a whopping 314,39 kbyte of scripts, totalling 495,91 kbyte. And most of the non-image content isn't even compressed! No wonder it's slow.

I commute by train, 15 minutes each way. Also, I don't think we live on the same continent (I'm Dutch), so you're probably safe :)

Come one, you gotta like a language in which "angstschreeuw" and "slechtstschrijvend" are perfectly valid words. It's like Perl (only less regular)! :)

The problem isn't just bandwidth, it's also latency. Which can be just as much a problem on DSL and 3G as it is on dialup.
