...the fact of this ``non-free'' browser to being freely (as in ``free beer'') distributed by the shareware principle... not minding it's _technical superiority_ to _all_ of the listed above.
Although, this, along with being bad for the developers, is generally good for the community, as it might force them to open the source-code for public access and modification and/or brunching to another project, as it has happened with Netscape.
This may sound somewhat cruel, but this rule is applyable to the whole O.S. society and has been dictated by conditions of its time.

...there's nothing better than a good combination of the modern programming languages in a single project, let's say... A technically advanced BASIC console app with an supremely elegant and incredibly fast VisualCOBOL GUI warper attached to it?
...that so-called ``Edutaiment'' is just pure abuse of the quite-modern social concept of education? It, generally, is a quite bad form of scholarship multiplied by an even worse entertainment factor...

You should consider going to this page, although it's in Russian it should be quite helpful if you are looking for the free, search-based, text access... and twice more if you are a spammer!
...the amount of wireless traffic flow generated by an N (with N > 0) number of this in a context of a local area 802.11* network? It seems to be approximately 57.6 MB per an image file in the RAW format and ~8-15 in JPEG, that is the reason, why it, basically, requires a complete and exclusive access to the host system's wi-fi controller and, in a deeper look - to the entire wireless network conformably. IM[H]O, usage of its wireless features is only suitable in a limited range of circumstances...
P.S.:
``I wonder if it plays mp3s too...''
What a waste of computing power, especially than you've got your PowerBook with you, and moreover, do you suggest the audio files to be uploaded wirelessly?!;-)
Ok, so why wouldn't anyone than just suggest rating your PC's performance by the MIPS count, as it is far more reasonable, compared to the abstract & constantly changing level system...
Or, for the ones, whose need in usage of the computer is limited to gaming, by the 3DMark score?
...What does the word ``privacy'' mean? Do you really want to get rid of spam (perhaps, even in significant quantities) by the cost of letting strangers, thus anonymous for yourself, read your mail?
...mostly due to one the major drawbacks of the modern computing: Bloating in all of the ways possible, so the increase of the data size creates a need in increase of the amount of storage required for it, as well as the bandwidth for its transfer
The INTEL way is surely not the best solution of increasing the computing speed, follow the idea:
Smaller transistors -> (More of them + Higher operating speed) -> (More heat + Advanced cooling systems) -> More production & supplement costs -> Higher retail prices... (-> Profit for Intel)
And the question is: why are them, in the one of the highest performance 32-bit chips nowadays, still preserving compatibility with 4-bit display controllers and why should we pay for compatibly with obsolete software? And don't you think that, for such a price, it would be easier to own 2 systems of different Intel architectures, a fast and a compatibe one?
...should I mention that WinFS could be efficiently emulated in almost _any_ other operating system, using the disk-based file system (compare to the *nix disks-in-the-directory-tree one):
1) Remove all the directory structures, except the one required by operating system 2) Dump all of your data files to the root directory of the system disk 3) Use the ``find'' function to navigate 'em!
...will it be caching search queries exactly as google does? (see Google-Watch for details)
If so, IMHO, the ones, for whom their privacy is even a bit valuable, will recompile KDE without this vulnerability...
...when the best open-source *nix audio players (mpg321 & ogg123, of course) will get their skinning enabled?
P.S. By the way, I might suggest that you, the ones still using WinAMP, to start migrating to the more compact (both on the HDD & in RAM), free (as in ``free beer''), almost-equally-featured (expect for the auto-execution of the skinning scripts, emphatically...) and, what really matters, not as baroque, state-of-the-art universal audio players for the win32 & compatibles (and, by using WINE, under the GNU/Linux too), - ``XMPlay'', see http://www.un4seen.com || Alternately, use the open-source, quite reach featured and cross-platform ``Zinf'' (ex-FreeA*p) - http://zinf.org
P.P.S. Or, quite a way better, stop listening to digitized music at all, mha-ha-ha!;-)
...don't you think that the best platform for the retro games quest should be a _really_ retro well-documented video game station having almost perfect emulation for debugging with a reprogramable EEPROM game cart? Its there really a point in coding for something with bad hardware specs, yet not wellknown and not considered beyond doubt retro by the wide masses, or, even, yourself?
>A mysterious feeling flows past you as you take an old russian NES-clone out of the closet...
...as a matter of fact, it is quite irrational to say, that it will deliver a better quality of the hi-res images, especially thouse ones requiring high ``detailization'', than the that the vector display technology.
...my school still has the world's best computers running: the glorious Speccy and its hoard of clones, that they or, generally, quite happy with. And it is not about them not having an ability to upgrade, but, rather, not wanting to. IMHO, it should be first considered to make a change in the human minds and only later in anything surrounding, or else the change will not be accepted. If they want to learn, they will, otherwise they do not really necessitate to.
Let's see, a player needs to be completely relaxed in order to win. Does that mean that people who are stoned/drunk/asleep offer the best competition?? That's a scary thought...
You've probably misspelled the word ``dead''?
P.S. More over, this, in fact, is the first game you can actually lose without having an opponent.

Just pure excellence - commercialization kills the sources, that otherwise could have been used to implement your creativity...
