That is $ 10 Billion coming in to the US - by exporting products (33 planes from Boeing, 414 Jet Engines from GE, etc.) to India.
RTFA... oh, wait, this is Slashdot.
Quicksilver was purchased by Apple and put into OSX 10.3 several years ago.
Quicksilver was not purchased by Apple. In fact, the source code for QS is now open source (under an Apache license) and available at http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/.
Apple's Spotlight is not a launcher per-se but more a system-wide search facility. It does work as a very simple application launcher (since apps are also indexed) - but definitely not a equivalent to QS or Gnome Do, which are essentially context sensitive mash-up of GUI based shells with a noun-verb model for operating on system objects such as applications (for launching, hiding, quitting etc.) and specific verb actions for tasks such as displaying contact info, opening chat sessions, operating on files etc.
BeebEm is pretty good, cross-platform and comes with the source code as well. it also emulates multiple versions of the bee (Model B, B+ and master 128).
Actually it is the 1st edition of THE Ruby book (similar to the Camel book for Perl). This edition is somewhat outdated, but still a very good introduction and easy reference to the class libraries.
BTW, the book has an introduction by Matsumoto, but has been written by Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt - not Matz.
The reason I use it is because it carries my bookmarks / favorites, and other settings (groups, search prefs, etc.) not only from PC to PC, but also from Browser to Browser.
Have you tried http://del.icio.us/? I use the same features and get the added advantage of tags, RSS feed and ability to find similar sites via the tag feature.
And it can be invoked right out of the bookmark bar (on all major browsers via bookmarklets.
Works here. OS X 1.4.2 (Tiger). Basically, if you have Finder windows stacked up (but some portion of the target Finder window visible - e.g. the window title), then you can drag the file over the visible portion of the target window and wait for 1/2 sec. for that window to gain focus. Then simply drop the file.
Probably because unlike OS X, where all application settings are under the home directory (in ~/Library) and in/Library, many Windows apps save the preferences back in x:\Program Files (one reason for needing adminstrator privileges to run some programs).
Windows XP/2K *does* have a standard location for app preference settings (under x:\Documents and Settings), but as long as this is not followed by all apps, this will remain an issue.
You have to admit after installing Solaris 10, seing Gnome^H^H^H^H^HJava Desktop everywhere, it does look pretty childish. It's just a standard Gnome desktop with a crappy theme, and some things missing.

Looks like my ATI 9200 *might* cut it:-)
The Epic plugin provides a basic Perl perspective for the Eclipse IDE. Basic syntax-coloring is provided, along with syntax checking, content assist, outline mode and other stuff.
Except that probably 90% of the users *would* be using a Browser that doesn't. This is a constraint every web developer would have dealt with, with the corresponding compromises. Users do not want to know about browsers, compatibility, standards and other geek-gobbledegook. They want to click on a link and see the information they want. Its that simple.
Standards are fine, but finally the web is about disseminating information. What we need to see is perhaps a composite markup model which allows deprecated standards to coexist (for some time at least) along with the shiny new Next Thing. This would allow the content to be switched to the newer standards as and when wider support becomes available (and I am not talking about the "TRANSITIONAL" DTDs or the ECMAScript hacks to switch content).

Sorry to be nitpicking, but
If JDS is clunky, you could always get KDE on Solaris (http://solaris.kde.org/) instead.
You can always use it as an _offsite_ backup!
"Ask Jeeves" touts it's own toolbar as well bang on the front page ...
