What do you mean "use the Aqua interface"? It certainly uses Aqua to render the appearance of the buttons via the theme engine (assuming they've specified to render with the native style), and the behaviour is pretty similar too. I doubt many people would be able to tell a "native" app from Mozilla.
By saying "use the Aqua interface", I mean that the interface is not fully-Cocoa aware/compliant/whatever. Compare Mozilla to Chimera for about 30 seconds and you'll see what I mean.:^)
While it is a native OS X application in the most basic sense of the word, it does not yet use the Aqua interface. For this functionality, check out the Chimera browser.
I informed my boss that I would be coming in four hours later that day... Luckily I'm only working part time, so I could fill in for those four hours the next day.:^)
Spite Your Face, the group that did the Lego Star Wars movie, also did the Camelot scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It is incredibly detailed and similar to the original!
I remember back in my younger years finding a cash register that ran OS/2... I got bored one day and started pressing key sequences for different operating systems that minimize full screen windows, and before I knew it I was looking at the OS/2 PM on a 6" black and white screen. My only thought at that point was, "this thing can run Quake!":^)
But who needs a simulation? If you have an Athlon, just jiggle the fan off and watch the thing in real life!
Preach on, brother. I realized I had poor cooling in my PC when the Athlon 1.33 GHz CPU fried itself one week ago. It actually smells like a microwaved CD when you turn it on now...:^( A tip to self-builders -- don't think that cooling your CPU with the biggest and baddest CPU cooler will do the trick... You need as many fans as you can stand to have in your case if you are running with an Athlon CPU.

Stopping Light

What's worse is that he removed the end of my story submission to make room for the quip. FWIW, this is how the original story submission went:
Jon Abbott writes "NASA is reporting that physicists at Harvard University have managed to stop light altogether . The implications of this discovery are rather staggering -- quantum encryption and quantum computers might be just around the corner! <coffee-talk>Discuss.</coffee-talk>"
Back in my freshman year in college, I proposed and worked on a very similar transportation system, called HSTS (High Speed Transit System). Other engineering students collaborated with it as well. We even had a student code a Java applet that simulated the whole thing. The biggest problem we found was what would happen if the cars were going really fast, and the power suddenly went off... We used the term "Mass Death".:^)

To that I say, put your money where your mouth is. Quit endorsing DRM. Quit using proprietary formats in your applications. Open your APIs. Include some decent text manipulation tools at the command line (like GNU textutils). Give the user some choice for a change.
That will come in the next product update. Rumor has it that Apple was unable to procure springs and pneumatic shocks that would safely bounce it around. I do agree though, it could be called the iLuxo Jr, even without the "bounce"..:^)
Interesting to note...

It's pretty funny that you mention this, as I posted the same reference 14 minutes earlier -- and even more funny is that we both used "look no further" in our text!:^)
Coast Memory is a good company to order RAM from, and they're always running deals on various different types of RAM. They currently have 64 MB EDO SIMMs for $14.60 here, and 128 MB EDO SIMMs for $29.00 here.
The word "grillion" was coined in the third installment of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, named Life, the Universe, and Everything. References are stated below, although no further quantification was given in the series. Enjoy.

401 Mb/s is great, but what sort of ping rates were they getting?
By saying "use the Aqua interface", I mean that the interface is not fully-Cocoa aware/compliant/whatever. Compare Mozilla to Chimera for about 30 seconds and you'll see what I mean.
Not really -- however, neglecting the Aqua interface makes porting Mozilla to multiple platforms much easier.
Look here for some discussion on Bugzilla about this.

Damned Mozilla and its recently renamed right-click menu options... Without further ado, here is the Camelot scene in LEGOvision(tm).

they talk about charges being per mile and not per kilometer... Perhaps there's a glitch in the Matrix today?
Another great one was when somebody tried to sell eBay on eBay itself. It too was shut down, sadly.
I noticed that immediately after posting (doesn't it always work that way?). Still, at $200, it's a far cry from cheap.
The price of Keyghost Keylogger: $999.
I thought it was originally referred to as the Peoplemover, all the way back to 1972. I was born and raised in Orlando, I should know these things. :^)
