Opera's problem is that they went for the Microsoft Windows MDI guidelines, with the addition of a taskbar of sorts for the window (functioning like a tab bar in other browsers,) which OS X has no concept of.
Well, everything is the same except for the menu layout (drastically different in OS X) and the window handling.
Opera on all platforms other than OS X uses MDI for window handling, so all tabs were in one window, and could have different window sizes. (This is different from most browsers, which make all tabs equal to the window size, and if a page needs to be a different size, needs to be broken out into a separate window.)
OS X has no concept of MDI (well, actually, it does, but it implements it very differently from every other OS.) Therefore, all tabs behave like other browsers - permanently maximized, and for differently sized pages, they come up as different windows, requiring an Apple-~ to switch between them, instead of an ordinary Ctrl-Tab. Kinda confusing.
GEOS actually had a user skill level function. Not sure how aggressive it was in the later versions, but the earlier versions were quite aggressive.
The beginner mode had no file management - it just gave you an application, with a drastically simplified interface (no drop down menus,) and the program could only open one document, and I believe multitasking just didn't happen. There were giant EXIT and HELP buttons.
Intermediate mode had applications with a full user interface (but always maximized,) and you could manage a restricted subset of files.
Advanced let you do whatever you wanted, gave you full functionality, and actually had windowing, not maximized windows for everything.
If a graphics card can barely average 60 FPS (or whatever your monitor's refresh rate is - my ThinkPad runs its LCD at 50 Hz,) then it's going to have dips well below 60 FPS.
Actually, from Wikipedia... (no, I did not edit the article before going to post this.)
A scientific law is a statement that describes the behavior of some particular thing or set of things within the natural world, with an adequately thorough history of successful scientific replication.
The term "scientific law" is traditionally associated with the natural sciences and hence the term is used interchangeably with the term physical laws. The biological sciences also have scientific laws, such as Mendelian inheritance and the Hardy-Weinberg principle found in genetics. The social sciences also contain scientific laws [1].
Arguably, Godwin's Law is a law of the social sciences.
LOAD "*",8,1 isn't exactly hard if you teach the kid to type that exactly.
But, an Apple II with the autostart ROM would be easier. (Ideally, an Apple//e or newer, that way, you can teach proper grammar with lowercase and everything in AppleWorks. Best would be an Apple IIGS, so the keyboard is separate from the system, and mouse support is better.)
I knew Open Apple-Ctrl-Reset at three. My parents didn't introduce me to the CATALOG command until I was 5, though... but I was doing BASIC and Logo programming at 6.
(And, they didn't let me anywhere near BASICA on the PS/1 - they thought I could wipe out everything on the hard drive. Well, I could, but only if I used the KILL command.:P)
I'm still reading, so I'll probably post this as its own thread if it hasn't already been suggested, but as a variation on the OLPC or Classmate idea... what about an Apple eMate 300? They're a bit old, now, but they're basically a learning computer with a touchscreen and Newton OS. They were designed towards the same target as the Classmate, though, just ten years ago. (Hardware wise, they're actually closest to a MessagePad 2000 with a processor at 1/10th the clock speed.)
And, I do recall playing with a couple learning computers that had primitive BASIC interpreters...
For that matter, what about an Alphasmart Dana? Palm OS, although I think it's 4.1, not 5.x.
The thing is, you don't have control over the GSM/CDMA radio - it's controlled by a completely separate processor, and get access to the microphone, speakers, and a serial link to the main processor, so that the processor powering the phone's OS doesn't cause spurious radio transmissions.
Some data goes back and forth, yes, but you probably won't be able to tell when it's doing this versus a legit cell tower connection...
The issue is, there are mass-produced automobiles that either are considered art, or have components that are considered art - IIRC, a 1st-gen Mazda Miata's tail light is in the New York Museum of Modern Art.
Indeed - Toyota is actually an intentional misspelling, because of the number of strokes for the Japanese characters being luckier or something. It'd be like Henry Ford calling his company the Fort Motor Company, because the word sounded better.
Which is when you hit up eBay, and go find yourself an old phone. I've actually got an old Kyocera QCP-6035 that I got simply because that was the ultimate in geek badass circa 2001... and I can get it activated on my plan (and because Sprint allows ESN swapping online, I can actually switch between my Centro and it at will, without having to get a line added, I believe.)
Or, you can usually get one of the prepaid phones without a camera, and then move it over to that carrier's monthly plans.
Oh, and I'll reply to myself, because I forgot something... the fine certainly wasn't extreme, the not being allowed to possess video recording equipment outside of his house part is what I consider extreme.
Not sure that it's so much that the recording shouldn't be illegal (it should be, IMO, you're paying for a one view license, at that specific time, technically, and stuff even states that,) but rather the punishment being that extreme.

AOL never bought Telenor, MultiTorg, or Opera Software ASA.
Does KHTML count?
WebKit is a fork of it, and IIRC the WebKit improvements do get backported to it.

Safari (well, WebKit) is just as integrated into Aqua as IE (Trident) is into the Windows GDI.
Both OS X and Windows use their respective rendering engines for a LOT of stuff in the OS.
And, any distro with GNOME has Gecko integrated with the desktop environment.
Opera isn't integrated with much of anything, other than set top boxes, IIRC.
Uhh... wrong story. That's Julie Amero.
This story is about some chick who was a reverse trap, and fucked with some teenage girl's head online, and said teenage girl killed herself.

In a very roundabout way, yes.

I'll just nitpick, and say that it's impossible to violate Godwin's law, as it's not a law in the legal sense, but in the scientific sense.
All Godwin's law says is this: "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

No, he's afraid for the keyboard's keys AND the kids.
Two words: "[b]detachable keycaps[/b]." (Which means "choking hazard.")
(Luckily, when the Model M was actually being shipped with almost every PC IBM sold, Apple had a strong hold of the educational market.)
In addition to Option 6 listed in this thread, there's an Option 2a.
Do option 2 in China, and sell the infringing hardware direct from China. Step 3, profit - no question marks.

The E-type coupe being pornographic art?
*ducks* :P
(Have to admit, it is rather... um, well, let's just say it's not far removed from the Ambiguously Gay Duo's car in shape.)
Which user?
I actually own a 1992 Miata. ;) That's how I even know that fact. ;)
One could argue fair use for some photographs (for example - when the subject is the person, and not their clothing, or the copyrighted surroundings.
But, in the case of these wallpapers, the subject is the vehicle itself...
I don't have any issue with taping being illegal.
Taping should be illegal, IMO.
What I've got an issue with is the part of the punishment involving not being able to possess video recording equipment.
It doesn't list the designer, but it does list that it was made by Mazda... here's a pic I found of where it was in the Museum...

Well, there's always getting an ancient Alltel phone... or, getting a GSM repeater for $300 or so, and using the Tracfone...
