It's also different in that probably half as many people again are "online" than 7 years ago, the technology is much better and the kind of interaction the original Web bubble required can be implemented without click-and-load HTML-only interfaces.... and more to the point, the business sector seems to have a far better insight into what business plans sell and what services are desirable
Opera faster than firefox? absolute rubbish. It certainly was, once.. but the last speed-demon Opera was version 5.12. V6 was the start of a long downhill road where it became more standards-compliant and more beautiful to look at but a shedload more chunky and slow.
If you're an American or Western European your morality's probably a hell of a lot more lenient than that imposed from within Nigeria - the country's spiritual ethic seems to be firmly under the control of either radical Islamists in some areas and the kind of Christian churchmen who even Genghis Khan would consider to be a bit right-wing (death to gays, no women prists, etc) everywhere else!
A little big of filtering might save those kids from getting in very serious trouble with their local moral taleban
To be honest i don't think the actual structure of the O/S is of interest other than in engineering/reliability terms. What to me would matter in a Linux web device is the browser, as Opera (as referenced above) doesn't yet play nicely with some "Web 2.0" AJAX websites (Google Maps, Google Docs & Spreadsheets).
It's a fact that no matter how good Opera is at some applications, web sites are often designed with Firefox & IE in mind as target browsers. While this is in many cases symptomatic of bad webdesign (not always: Google Spreadsheets design team claim that Opera doesn't implement some features properly), the best thing the designers of internet devices can do might be to make sure Firefox operates. Do that and you can sell your device as a thin client for popular online services as well as an open local-app development platform.
My footnote: I'd love a Nokia N800 with Firefox, to run my favourite online services. Currently only minimo runs on Maemo, and it isn't complete enough.

RSS: Because everyone hates spammy "newsletters" that have a veneer of content and a morass of advertising. A feed is the correct way for a site owner to communicate with users.
Obviously, none of them. It's just that a lot of us were greatly saddened when the nation whose armies liberated Buchenwald concentration camp, invented Guantanamo & Abu Ghraib. Perhaps there's a perception that some spring-cleaning was needed.
well if we take my SE W810i as representative, the battery life will probably be superb.
Steve Jobs once said Sony was a company Apple shoould try to be more like. It's a shame he stopped listening to his own common sense as SE's phones are lovely, and the combination of a fast operating system and easy to use keyboard & pointer/clicker makes it simple to do many tasks without looking at the screen at all - which is something of which the iPhone will never be capable
the other obvious form of slashdot one-upmanship is to use a word that forces people to use a dictionary before going "oh yeah, that's really true, man.."
Is this going to be like Mono, where you can compile it to run on PPC Macs but because the application binaries have x86-targeted code within, you can't run them without splicing in an intel CPU emulator somehow?
You draw your firearm and run towards the commotion. Elsewhere in the building, other brave or foolish types are also running to render assistance, carrying firearms. You all meet at the same point. You're all armed. One of you is the original shooter.
The law of averages says you'll kill more of the other saviours before you get the perpetrator. The experience in Iraq alone should prove that introducing more weapons to an unstable situation is somewhat counterproductive.
1) Live in a society that allows anyone to obtain lethal weapons of war....
2) ????
3) MASS SLAUGHTER!!
As a European I don't believe civilised people or society need guns except in the hands of the armed forces or those with enough of an interest in hunting to justify taking a firearms safety course. The constant stream of avoidable deaths in the USA constantly reaffirms my belief
- Sorry, not sure how it's spelt in the US. I think what you mean is Low Sulphur Diesel (LSD! makes for an interesting till receipt). Back to the OP with the Skoda, I'm using a heavy Ford Mondeo with a 1.8 litre Turbo-Diesel and it can go from Watford to Aberdeen and quarter of the way back on a single tank of fuel - a range of about 800 miles. The article mentions a user aspiring to a range of just over 700....
why:
ABS and metal case - very tough
replacement 4400mah battery gives 6-7 hours usage
worth little so its safe to use anywhere
Running OS 10.3, it can connect to Wifi, dial-up, any ethernet router and bluetooth cellphone modems (via a USB dongle)
Its slow but its never let me down - and I can charge it from a cgarette lighter socket using an aftermarket charger
this is a vehicle for the US Govt (- and legal system, which sometimes is scarier yet) to harvest wanted people who may have committed no crime in their own countries and bring them to the USA involuntarily
I'm using OSX 10.3 on a clamshell iBook from 5 years ago. Its usable (with dock hidden), the only reason I dont upgrade is that I only use it for mail and surfing, though
I always feel that different operating systems should be on different parttions so as to gve better redundancy and the ability to remove one without wiping the others. It was a bad idea when MS allowed Windows 2000 and 98 to coexist on a single FAT32 partition and this is a bad idea now..
If the Debian people want to make migration easier, they should built a Win32 app that exports outlook express email to mbx and installs it into Thunderbird, copies over address books, favourites and wallpaper. THATs the sort of thing that gets a newbie linux user feeling happy.
Recently I, through curiosity, had a look at the website of the North Korean government while using a PC that had a software firewall but wasn't behind a NAT router. Literally seconds later the machine reported sustained attacks using several vectors, all originating from a range of 4 IPs located in Seoul, S.Korea.
I wonder if the democratic peoples's republic (hah!) of North Korea knows its web server is apparently being monitored...

"download: install: run".
That's what we do! It isn't 1979 anymore and having to compile source code isn't something the average user should ever be expected to do....
I can tell I've spent too long reading American websites. I saw the name "Woo" and my mind filled in the missing "Yay. Hoopla"

think about Guantanamo Bay for a few seconds: it'll put your concerns into context
Gamers tend to be intelligent people (No, I'm not karma-whoring, really!)
I wouldn't give it long until they realise a router can be used to block advertising by making rules to restrict traffic from certain domains..

Do you seriously think they wouldn't use it?

Some attackers are more direct, though
