And of course, encryption. Encrypt a packet and all you're getting is where it's from, and where it's going to. Make this look like SSL-crypted HTTP (i.e. using the standard ports, etc.), for example, and it's going to be pretty indistinguishable...
Should've had it out of the box, and support for homebrew apps/games (minus tech support if something goes wrong, perhaps, but not this constant race to shut down the homebrew).

It does improve performance for dial up users.
Caching the HTML and CSS in memory and on disk is not what Firefox is using so much memory for. It's caching the fully rendered 'snapshots' of a page, for use using the forward/back buttons. These are cached up to a certain number forward or backwards per tab, meaning more tabs equals more memory use.
A disk cache/memory cache of just the source code has been done in every semi-modern browser, ever. That improves speed for dial up users. Caching rendered pages just speeds up forward/back. Maybe they should concentrate on making the rendering engine more quick and efficient, instead of making the whole program use more memory.
SG1 hasn't finished in Canada, unless it's on a station I don't know about... Space, our equivalent of SciFi, is continuing the second half of the season in a week or two, much as SciFi is. Atlantis' third season, however, *is* finished in Canada. The final episode of season 3 aired on Movie Central at least a month ago, if not more.
Bittorrent would be hard to work with, unless you could find people willing to give up some of their internet connection most of the time to seed packages... Anyway, it's not hard for any open source program to find mirrors in the first place. Many universities provide them, as do places like Sourceforge.
The difference is that the Linux trademark is much more free to be used than the Firefox trademark. Read Mozilla's trademark policy and you might see some of why Debian has a problem.
And of course, the Linux kernel does not, and never has, required patches to be submitted before they're used. Distros like Gentoo maintain a set of their own patches for the Linux kernel, with no problems. Debian also has their own kernel patches, last I checked.
Remember to use plain Wine too, as it can run some games better than Cedega, and may even be able to run all your games fine, depending on what you want to play.
I am learning Spanish and this can confuse as naturally I assume that someone is talking about their brothers, when they could also mean their sisters as well.
Just remember that if they're talking only about their sisters, they'll use the feminine word. Masculine word = male only or mix of male and female. Feminine word = female only. (This obviously only applies to people or other things with genders, and not to such things as fruit, furniture, or anything else lacking a concrete gender.;)
Moral issues aside, willfully engaging in behavior contrary to basic biological drives (reproduction) indicates something seriously wrong with an individual.
So you're obviously opposed to birth control, computers (except strictly as a work tool), all forms of entertainment, and anything people do that doesn't directly support having a child or raising a child. Wait, why're you on Slashdot anyway? I highly doubt (all jokes aside, even) that'll help you reproduce.
I haven't used Opera 9 (used 8.5 a bit, but back to Firefox for a couple things, like mplayerplug-in working properly there), but I have a question... Is there a way to import a filterlist? This is one of the very nice things about Firefox adblock, to me. I just grab a good filterset, and it'll block almost everything without me touching it, ever.
The point was more for children - give them both their mother and father's names. As for women, many more than there used to be are keeping their own names when they marry.
These reverse scams generally don't go to actually meeting the people they're talking with - it's mainly about wasting their time, so it's harder for them to scam real people. At least two of those murders Wikipedia notes were people going to get their money back after being scammed, not just scamming the scammers in the first place.
Same here. If people were so concerned over this, why is this the first we've heard of it on Slashdot? I would have loved the chance to mock them earlier about it.
Or maybe if people considered this a real threat, it would have been in a newspaper, or perhaps on the evening news on TV.
I haven't been following every little thing in the US (I'm Canadian), but hasn't it been the Republicans limiting free speech rather severly the past six years?
Server software, tablets, media center, 64-bit support... Apple customers often forget there's more to computing than iMacs.
OSX runs on servers - Xserves. 'Media centre' like abilities are starting to be added to Apple machines. And 64-bit compatibility? You do know what a G5 processor is, don't you?
Because the hacked versions often add in some useful and/or eyecandy features that you may want/need such as suspend2 (useful), bootsplash support (eyecandy), or Reiser4 support (useful), that *aren't* in the vanilla kernel yet.
I don't think Microsoft will even be supporting IE7 on Win2000, so Firefox is ahead of the game, even when you consider the dropping of 9x support. I just hope they maintain the 2.x branch, at least for security flaws - for a long time (not for me (Linux is my main OS), but for those people who still want to/have to use 9x).
Although I do wonder how they can support OSX, Linux, and new Windows relatively easily, but supporting old versions of Windows is too hard for them...
Same here. 5 Mbps down, 512 Kbps up (Cable), and I get around 600 kb/s down (on a fast server), and 60 kb/s up, which is almost exactly what I 'should' have.
Looking at the submitter's ratios, it doesn't look like they did the conversions wrong, though. 3 Mbps is around 400 kb/s max, not 750 kb/s max. So they actually do have a problem, but it's always good to remember these conversions when discussing ISPs.
You can get most of that, if you're willing to sacrifice battery life. One of the HP smartphones or perhaps the Treo 700w do most of those things you mentioned, minus (as far as I know) the FM radio, and perhaps the decent camera (depending on how good you want it to be).
Personally I'd be happy if I could get a phone with a monochrome screen (don't need colour), Bluetooth (for connecting to my Palm T|X where I keep most important data), and very long battery life. Skip the camera, the web browsing, the downloading of extra things I don't need, the games, and even skip the text messaging. Just give me a phone, Bluetooth, and a damn good battery.
This also means open source needs to make software worth any hype it recieves, as opposed to just hyping something no one's seen yet that often turns out to be crap anyway.
Personally I like that sort of release method. Less hype, less disappointment, more working as it should.
And another vote for rtorrent. I have it running in a (detached) screen session always, monitoring my torrents directory for new files. Sometimes I forget it's even running.:)

No, Google's solution is to make *Google's* license, and use that. And try to make everyone else use it, perhaps.
I wonder how it'll incorporate advertisements (Google's main source of revenue) into it.

Well, it's made by the Japanese, isn't it? So I'm sure it's been used for that purpose at least once.
...I actually kinda like it, too... Certainly a change. ;)
Keep it as an option for us weirdos, perhaps?
