javascript is nice for popup hyperlinks (aslong as the href is still set and the javascript function is put in the onclick property, like this:
this will run the function openpopup, which could, if you like, open the popup in a window that is the size you want (good for FAQ's and TOS's). if the user doesn't have javascript enabled/available, the onclick event will be ignored and the browser will follow the href.
although technically feasable to cure the common cold:
1: whats the point, its not all that bad compared to a lot of things which are curable/preventable(?) or could be treated better (asthma) 2: its constantly changing, next year's strain is different to this years.
does this mean i can 'hack' "donald ducks quack attack" and it will get retroactivly upped to an AO?
by 'hack' i mean add some bits to the binary to do a JMP to the last line of executable code, which would be replaced with a launcher to 'mplayer sic_sex_acts.mpg'
my point was, khtml is, in no way, tied into the kernel.
my original posts parent claimed kde does the same thing with konqueror as ms do with IE (tied to the kernel). i know konqueror or khtml isn't tied to the kernel at all.
*i have no idea if IE is actually tied to the kernel, i didn't actually claim it was
konqueror is a frontend for its kio-slaves. kio-slaves can be accessed by any kde application (ftp, fish[ssh], etc). One of these kio-slaves happens to be KHTML.
try it: goto konqueror and type fish://user@host/home/user - this will not use khtml (the web browser kio-slave, but fish, the ssh file manager kio-slave.)
all drivers which are good enough and gpl'd are in the kernel. modern distro's use udev and hotplug to find all hardware, then load all the modules for that hardware automatically (even gentoo and debian do this by default*). any drivers which are not good enough or not gpl'd enough are not part of the kernel, and therefore must be downloaded seperately, but apt and portage can easily install the binary nvidia drivers.
usually software wont run on windows without admin privilages because it tries to write to c:\program files\myapp\ and it cant if its not run as admin.
You are providing an entire C drive for the app to read/write to so that isn't a problem.
The other problem is when applications try to write to the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER (or something like that) and wine emulates the registry for you, so again, thats not a problem.
Thank god real linux software understands that ~ and $TMPDIR are the only places users can write to.
usb2's max speed is 480mbps, also, ipods and thumb drives dont need quick read/writes so apple/whoever uses cheap components. a real usb harddrive is apparently very fast.
this is a brilliant little phone, although it does have a couple of extra features like a (suprisingly useful and bright) flashlight, it does have a great battery life and good signal and sound quality:
FTL space travel has about zero chance of ever existing
and 100/200 years ago, it was believed that a train travelling at 21 mph or faster would kill everybody on board because all the oxygen would be sucked out of it.
just because we cant think of a way to do it now, doesn't meant it wont ever be done. im sure there are aspects of science we dont even know exists, never mind know anything about (quantum physics 100 years ago?)

s/goob with a keyboard/goob with a mouse and a 'typer'
i find khtml and opera seem to be more standards compliant than gecko, at least with the parts of the standards that i play with.
in (at least north england) - the phrase "alrite?" is a perfectly acceptible replacement for "hello", and the usual response is "alrite?".
kget2 (therefore konqueror) will also have bittorrent support, not sure who thought of it first though
no, i wrote about konqueror not being 'tied to the kernel', i didn't explicitly say that IE was/is.

its only a small hack!

The kde team do not do this,
konqueror is a frontend for its kio-slaves. kio-slaves can be accessed by any kde application (ftp, fish[ssh], etc). One of these kio-slaves happens to be KHTML.
try it: goto konqueror and type fish://user@host/home/user - this will not use khtml (the web browser kio-slave, but fish, the ssh file manager kio-slave.)
Hope that cleared it up.
andorra isn't part of the EU. Its duty free too.

*gentoo's default = as per the guide
Radio users have to pay their license fee, but its less, like black and white tv's.
radiotimes (bbc) offers the listings in xml format for free in the uk (hooya!)
i believe your thinking of the phrase "break it down!", after which people get up and dance like a mo'fo'
Depends if you work for yahoo or altavista

amarok (kde music player) already does this, and it gets lyrics automatically too.
i think it would have come, not got many developers and gone away.
i dunno, in 1977 there weren't as many programmers as there were in 1992.
if linus was born 17 years earlier, i dont think we would have linux as good as it is now.
oops, i meant to post this as a reply to what seems to be the first post (complaining about phones with features like web browsers)

whats wrong with something like dcop for controlling processes in the shell?
dcop amarok player play
tells amarok to play a song, dcop's shithot and can be used in bash scripts.
