Indeed. That's such an obviously important feature I always felt. If they think that there will be several non-techie users wondering where all their windows went after an accidental key press, they should just incorporate the ability and leave it off by default.
Anyhow, try VirtuaWin. http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/
I use it a lot and love it. It consistently amazes all the Windows-only folks at my office.
I usually dislike people who don't use T9; they tend to be the idiots who write things like "l8r"
You sir, are certainly a judgmental idiot. I agree with the GP. I have a poor opinion of T9, because it rarely ever gets the right word. I usually write specific messages that don't fit to the canned word guesses it has. Trying to use it often turns out to be more work than it saves, at least for me. And I don't write in leet or in the SMS lingo.
How is the parent being modded +5 insightful? Please RTFA and click on the links. And if possible, read the early reviews Netbooks like Gigabyte M812V and M912V.
Who is talking about touchscreen monitors? We are talking about Netbooks being used like Tablet PCs. I personally have been waiting for touchscreen tablet under $700.
Mod parent up. Although I don't feel as strongly about the invalidity of Occam's razor principle, I certainly see it being abused all over the place. Simple explanations are generally significant, but not necessarily always true.
Is there a software that has a 1-step procedure to activate all the stuff you mentioned? Activate the camera, mic, monitor his internet movements and even capture keystrokes?
Did the parent even RTFA? But he has a F opinion. And even better, he gets a +5 insightful. Alas, this is/. For those who care, the paper was published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and there is a subtle angle to that article that sets it apart from old snake oil. (Not that sci journals are completely junk-free). But you get the drift, to me it looked like there may be something in it.
it's most of us who are not gamers and online video file sharers. I just don't have the time to do those things. I find a lot of other things (including my research) exciting enough. And I find my internet access annoyingly slow (particularly the latency), during weekends and other times when I expect it to be normal or good.
If the story that it is due to 5% of the users is true, I feel it should be set right.
It won't be long before the thugs figure out a way to scan for those devices and try to get rid of them. Or simpler still, threaten the victim to show where it is and allow them to excise it out.
I disagree with that last statement of the article. It's not the eye candy that's the clincher. It's the user-friendliness, tightness and seamlessness of integration, consistency across the interface and hardware compatibility.
at least once in a while. The author's page has *no* ads. That's right, no ads. If only you had bothered to visit the blog page, not even RTFA. And the fact that the parent post is now at +5 insightful tells a sad (oft-repeated) story about/.
They can put as many rechargeables as in a Prius. The solar-gas hybrids could charge then their batteries while parked out in the sun. Hell, could even supplement even a bit of power (however little) into the AC.
Mod parent up. Very valid point. It was XO that started it all, and MS and intel tried to ignore it, mock it, stop it and finally joined it and will soon probably claim it as their own.

No optical drive. 12.1". Under $700. Core2Duo P series. 2+GB RAM. SSD. Linux. SD card slot. PCI Express slot. USB and external VGA, modem and ethernet ports. Integrated webcam. Wireless BGN.
Would make me happy.

Why the hell is the parent modded troll? He makes valid points. Although I very much like having that 1 Gbps too.

Who's to blame for accidents if some poorly owner-assembled cars fall apart on the highways?
Sorry AC dude. I still use Firefox 2.0.16 because I have "Anonymizer" service it unfortunately still does not work with FF3.
Posting as AC and calling others morons, doesn't exactly make for the truth.

How is stuff like the parent getting modded +5 informative on /. baffles me more than why vista is still there on one of my office comps.

Ok.. Answering my own post. Found this: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/05/solar_hybrid_ca.php It's time the industry starts making this as a serious option.
They can put as many rechargeables as in a Prius. The solar-gas hybrids could charge then their batteries while parked out in the sun. Hell, could even supplement even a bit of power (however little) into the AC.
Mod parent up. I'd give him a +10. And that Taylor girl... epitomizes the pride stupid people have.
