Actually, why not use the appropriate accesskeys which the author has given us: n for "next" and p for "previous". If you're not sure how to use accesskeys, Wikipedia has some information for you.
I think a much better test would be to see a single window with 30 tabs. I don't know anyone that would have 30 windows of a browser running. All this proves to me is that FF does a better job of sharing resources across instances. Does anyone use windows rather than tabs to manage their browsing?
When I can code once ((x)html/javascript-ecma if you like/CSS2) and get exactly the same result in IE 7, FF 2/3, Opera, and Safari then if might be time to talk about adding and changing things.
If IE, FF, Opera, and Safari all produced the same exact rendering result, then why would we have more than one browser? To see who can implement the new standards fastest? I'm not sure what will come in the future, but HTML as we know it will always have to be supported by browsers. Maybe all the crazy people moving to flash really know what they are doing?
I agree about the features of Java 6 & 7. I code to Java 5 but run in the latest and greatest VM because they continue to make performance enhancements there.
As for GUI development, I believe that we will see some progress made there. Right now, there is some good competition going on between Swing, SWT, and other toolkits. And now, QT just came out with QT Jambi which looks really cool. The bottom line is that eventually, one of these toolkits will emerge and become the defacto toolkit. Remember, cross platform UI is a hard problem to solve. They'll figure it our eventually. Or, you may get tired enough and write one yourself:)
If you want your site in a format for use with mobile devices, put a link on the top of the page, in your case: http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http://lastresort.xe pher.net. That wasn't so hard and requires no work for you. I'm sure google will do the right thing for your site on the iPhone.
I'm sorry but if extension is not "allowed" by license, then why is it "allowed" by the software? Seems if they (M$) cared so much about others not being able to extend VS Express, then they would have removed the extension API from the app.
I think teachers are focusing a bit much on the means and not the end. I remembered writing papers and the teacher had no care in the world how we produced it. Typewriter, computer, rock & chisel. I think they should install OpenOffice, NeoOffice, etc. and let the kids choose the one they feel most comfortable with. On the Mac, I would personally use TextEdit to write my paper. No need for all of that extra cruft that the other *Office products have.
Dude, you are absolutely right! I recently needed to replace the rear pads and rotors on my 2002 Intrepid and priced a few different repair shops. I was overwhelmed. Well over $200 for the cheapest estimate. I decided to use the internet and research the cost of the parts. It turns out that I could get 2 new rotors and a set of pads for my car for about $60 or less. So what did I do?
I went and bought a Haynes repair manual for my car and read through the brakes section. The next day, I went to O'Reilly's and bought the parts, got some friendly advice from the guy working there and went home. In less than 2 hours, my car had shiny brand new rear rotors and pads. It was literally removing the wheel and 2 bolts on each side. And, since I wasn't replacing the calipers, I never disturbed the brake hydraulics. I knew I could put my programmer mind to good use in real life:)
So then, it seems that we are putting the cart before the horse. My dream of having just an internet connection along with unaffiliated high bandwith services are not going to be realized until the bandwidth to my house is enough to do it all. Thanks for the education. I do hope that that is the direction in which we are heading.
Why does TV over IP have to come from the Internet provider? I'm really getting annoyed by all of this bundling of services. Here's what I'd like... a good, fast internet connection. Period. Let me worry about what I'm getting over that connection. Phone/TV/Music/Email. For once I'd love to see a company boast: We give you a rock solid, fast connection to the Internet and that's it. Enjoy.
I currently have Comcast (previously Adelphia). Back in the Adelphia days I had the internet only package. Life was good. Since the buyout, I have Comcast Internet plus a $15.00 you forgot to sign up for cable tv fee. I also have Vonage and use iTunes to purchase shows of interest. I'd love to subscribe to a few IPTV channels from say... the networks that air them. Does that make any sense? Or, is this the kind of thing that actually requires dedicated telco hardware to implement?
Yeah, I ended up with a Creative Zen Micro. At first, there were a lot of eco-system parts for it. But that has faded. I do love it though. I imagine I'll have to fall in-line and eventually get an iPod*.
Any chance they have a 1/8 audio jack to iPod female connector. I realize this would only work with audio (and perhaps power), but may be a nice thought. Hmm... damn, shouldn't have given the idea away:)
I like that they at least threw a bone to us non-iPod-ers. But still, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to find accessories for non-iPod mp3 players. I thought the idea of everything uses a standard headphone jack would be good enough. But, I was wrong.

Found a link to the local paper. Not that hard to find. But light on the details.

Won't be long. Check for 3D support before you buy your next HDTV.
There are several monitors *and* TVs already out that have built-in support for 3D. I've seen several listed and the prices even seem reasonable.

Now what?

Yes, and that was the bone I was referring to. I actually have one.

Did anyone else read that as Fruit Flies Show Spark of Free Wii ?
I have a second idea...
