Menu bar at the top also functions similar to the MS Windows task bar: applications may put their own icons there (e.g. Adium puts an icon there which does more than the icon that Windows Live Messenger offers under Windows.
In addition to that you can assign shortcuts to any menu item even if it doesn't have one from a central control panel. Can't do that in windows if the application doesn't support it (let alone the whole central place thing, where is the option to change the settings for MS Word versus MS Visual Studio.
I've seen it in a few cases, almost all in the older generation. I'm not arguing one, two or three is better than the other. I prefer Linux and use three buttons all the time (select, paste, context); I'm paid to work on Windows (two there, sometimes I wish there was three to do stuff, that said some CAD applications use three buttons) and I have a Apple iBook G4 that I wouldn't replace without another Mac laptop (Windows laptops have had far to many problems every time I've used them and Linux laptop support to be honest is lacking). It is there, and it is rather frustrating to try and explain the two buttons (for Linux I usually just let the scroll mouse be scroll like instead of 'paste'.)
Adium has a menu bar icon instead though which allows you to select conversations from it so you don't need to augment the Dock icon to get this functionality if you want it. That said I only have a 12" iBook and my complaint is that a lot of menus take up space which cuts into these things.
Get a Mac. A platform where the operating system and hardware are made by the same people. To be honest Microsoft can't get it to work all of the time on all of the different hardware configurations. Apple, due to their incredibly narrow hardware support base, can test it out. So if its vitally important that your computer presents a desktop in under 5 seconds, get a Mac since you will have a better chance of it working:) (simply a numbers game, except this time the smaller numbers are better).
same with my ibook g4, i just put the lid down and walk away. it always wakes up. on the powerbook hd, and macbooks (incl pro), sleep actually stores a hibernate image on the disk so that if you either 1) run out of battery or 2) manually pull the battery out (lets say on a long intl flight) and put in a new one. If you do a wake when you haven't killed of the power source (99% of the time really), it uses the RAM to continue operation. If you've disconnected power for whatever reason, it will wake up, present a little loading bar (incl a screenshot of your desktop if you don't require a password to unlock your computer from sleep/screensaver). Heres an Apple doc on it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302 477
And on top of that the force of the floor against the interacting parties is also another example of electromagnetism. The force that the atom in the ground enforces against the force of gravity _and_ the parties lowest appendage (remember, all mass has gravity so both parties are also attracting the ground, though no where near as much as the Earth attracts them not to mention the electromagnetic opposition of the atoms). This made my day:)
I agree, USB is better for random access than Firewire which IIRC is based on the SCSI standard (or designed to replace it) and more aimed at bulk data transfer. Plus I think you can daisy chain Firewire and not USB.
Actually if you have a look at things there are quite a large number of ties between the Red Alert Universe and the Tib Sun universe, Kane even makes an appearance at the end of the first Red Alert I believe.
FTA:"Reporters Without Borders calls out China, Myanmar, Belarus, and 10 other countries for quashing online political and religious expression" (3 countries, plus 10 others makes 13, not the top ten).
Last line of summary: "This week we also discussed the Reporters Without Borders' 13 Enemies of the Internet list."
The dupes are getting harder and harder to spot! This is just BusinessWeek's spin on it, isn't it interesting how news changes?
It has instructions which mention build in a few places. It seems to be rather Windows biased and requires a large Nokia SDK download. It does mention that this is what ships with V3 so I assume that things should work fine for V2, but its not my phone. As an aisde I remember in my travels around Asia they freely talked of phone upgrades where all they did was update the firmware since the underlying hardware hasn't changed. The msot common example was the 3310 and 3315. You might also be able to upgrade the firmware on your phone to V3 assuming there were no hardware changes.
WebKit on its own does quite a lot, just appears that Nokia have screwed you in this version of the phone.
See this is the thing that gets me about academics. Unless you have the relevant sized pole shoved in your preference of orifice and can point to it accordingly you cannot have your own opinion or new idea. It has to be someone elses. It shits me off because I have so many strange ideas that I'm not going to bother looking in case some retard had them before. The conceept that you have to be some brilliant person to have an idea just annoys me. I remember back to studies on ancient history and the development of farming. Around the globe around the same time different independent civilizations developed the concept in varying degrees (some also developed irigation earlier as well due to needs or different methods of irrigation to resolve problems). Do they all need to reference God for showing them how to tend the ground?
Thing I don't get is that its only proving one thing: It can alter files in the same directory. Now given that its a foreign executable, this would imply that you have write permissions to the directory to begin with, and editing files you have write permissions to is nothing new, in fact I'm sure I do it every day on Windows, Linux and Mac. I append random data to different files all of the time (just so happens that random data means sometohing to me). In reality, there isn't any thing to prove, the Windows world has proven it all of the time with its viral infections, what I would suggest is more interesting is when we start getting the self propagating sort that hit system vulnerabilities in RPC code, Firewall (saw a great one the other day for ICS on Windows), or email. Any fool can write a program to append data to all files in the current directory, in fact theres some bash code in this comment page, getting automatic propagation on a level of say Code Red is newsworthy.
And I still have a nearly 20 year old TV. It still works perfectly fine. Don't underestimate some peoples slothfulness when it comes to upgrading certain bits of technology.
Now their site, http://www.intermesh.net/ is horizonally elongated, buggered if I know what the address really does, intermesh, but meh, its got blue in the top (star!), sans serif (this has been web common sense for a rather long time now, I mean really), it has a good page length, you cant scroll (because there isn't actually real information there) but of course it actually takes you four clicks to get to a page that has 8 sentences broken into 4 paragraphs (http://www.intermesh.net/website.html) ignoring the drop downs that don't work in Epiphany (and probably not any other Firefox browser at that). Finally the footer is thin to non existent, to the point it looks like the header (sans the drop downs). No brown, fawn or copper. Though it does have links there, they only have 8 compared to Slashdot's 12 (plus second OSTG link), so you lose on this as well, try adding more links or graphics.
On a seperate note my BS meter is broken again...stuck on the extremities again. *sigh* Time to make a bigger range again.
Perhaps not as a default, I don't mind the default, but when I have to trawl through a few pages, I want to be able to expand that out. Perhaps the ability to dynamically set the size of the result set. There are certainly some times when I'd like to scroll through one long list instead of clicking 5 times and waiting for the reload on each of them.
Which functionality and choices in particular are removed out of interest? And while there ares ones that might not be accessible via the GUI, there is always the console. Last time I checked the majority of the GUI tools for Linux were pretty limiting too.
Actually the KHTML incident was Apple giving back a whole heap of cluster patches from the original bit of source code they took out which was horrendously out of date, but if you actually look at things, WebKit is completely open source and available: http://webkit.org/ (which is what the GPL requires, funnily enough).
If the KHTML people want a feature from WebKit, then they can just grab it off relevant subversion repository like every other project. Anyone can get to the source, I'm not sure what the problem is?
Indeed, in fact it is amazingly seemless. I started a transfer on a 802.11B network, and the file chugged along at B speeds. I then flicked on a 802.11G AP and after a few seconds it switched over and started transferring at the 802.11G speeds. I then plugged in my ethernet cable and the Activity Monitor jumped up in the massive speed boost. But then I pulled out my ethernet cable, this caused the transfer to pause for a bit and then it picked up the pace again. This is amazing to watch, doesn't matter what you use (even SMB to Windows boxes), it just seems to work. Very impressed by how simple it is to set up.
People are still buying new computers. Most new computers if I'm not mistaken come with Windows XP preinstalled. Microsoft aren't losing a whole lot of money by not shipping Vista because they have a product already out there.
All that happens when Vista is released is a small spike with the Microsoft fan boys jumping on and buying a new PC and Vista Ultimate edition, and slowly it will trickle down to everyone else. Vista won't do what Windows 95 did - it won't be as big a shift and I don't expect people lined up in the night for it, all potential of that happening has passed.
I'm a fan of virtual dimension, I use it at work to seperate stuff up so that I don't have to alt tab through a horribly long list of windows, half of which are irrelevant to the present task.

WebKit is just a library. The S60 port of WebKit appears to do stuff but also mentions the need for a V3 (not a V2).
b kit
I'm not sure if you've seen this page though:
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/S60We
