Not only does Google get to store your e-mails, all the slashdot ads (by Google) are mapped with the gmail account, all your searches are mapped with the gmail account etc etc. Essentially, google gets to store which sites you go to, what searches you do and so on. Great! I hope Google uses my data to one day provide me free links to porn I might really like! What a service!
I love doing this from the university-network. We are directly connected to one of the mirrors and therefore, downloads are incredible fast. Now, that`s what everyone claims, but I`m burning the ISOs directly from the mirrors rather than downloading them first, and my 24x burner is happy...
True. Everything is possible within the W3C-margins. I've done quite some webpages including webshops so far and all are totally valid XHTML. You have to experiment a bit to get it right on IE:win, but it is possible. Totally.
Alt + Tab did already work in OS 7, maybe even earlier. Window controls in one group... oh well... count that if you want.

DOM Scripting

· Score: 1
You have never used Gmail or Flickr or the like, now have you?
As the first reply to your post states, this book is not about flying pictures and background-music, this book is about DOM-scripting, the basis of Ajax, which has little to do with your fancy textbook.
I have a Pistol Mouse lying around here, and I really like the feel while holding this.
But I`m using my MX-516 most of the time, since the Pistol Mouse comes nowhere near the usability of a common mouse, especially up-down movements. Looks like I`m too used to old-style-mice.
Just to mention, logging of chats is turned off by default. You have to turn it on manually.
I think this thing is a good idea (not the logging, the chat-inside-mailapp). I wonder if you get marked as "online" whenever you check your Mail on mail.google.com...
2 hours to set up a PVR makes me laugh. I plugged the EyeTV into my Mac, drag and dropped the application from the CD onto my Harddisk, launched the application, let it scan the frequencies and was all set.
That`s how a computer should work these days, everything else is just yesterday.
If it`s that bad that you Windows-Users don`t switch to a broadband-connection for security reasons, I definitely recommend using another Operating System, like others already proposed.
I mean, come on, that can`t be the way to go, now can it??
I`m running OS X Tiger on a 1999 G4 350 MHz with 384MB of RAM. And it runs acceptable - not supersmooth but acceptable.
So why the hell do you tell me how miraculous it is to run an OS from y2k on a computer from 1997???
There is one Thing in Longhorn I'd like to see in OS X. It was rumored before the release of Panther, but it was only a rumor: Stacks. IMHO it`s nice to arrange all the files via a single click after various aspects like filesize, filetype or modification date.
Umh, okay, perhaps I`ll discover this functionality in Tiger when it finally arrives in 2 weeks...
I want to hint that in OS X, Windows don`t have a border (...there are exceptions), it`s all done via the shadow. That quite saves some place on the Desktop.
That`s why IE-visitors of websites made by me get the information that they`re looking at a de-featurized website and they should use firefox for maximum force-powers.
Add an explanation about the security-risks and non-standard-compliance of the IE and you`re set.
That`s beating MS with their own weapons and I see no point in not doing that, as long as IE-users still can see the page.
That is just ridiculous. They have never built that audio-device they`re talking about (and getting a patent for it).
So hey, I now figure out how a miraculous device could be built, file a patent and when in 10 years someone else builds it, I'll be a rich man.
how about a "Video Room Player
Abstract
Disclosed is a video room player which is configured for storing a movie library therein. The video room player includes a housing, some sort of digital input structure on the housing, audio output structure on the housing for outputting audio signals, a miraculous air-projector which is capable of projecting video right into the air in front of the user, and a data storage structure in the housing for storing different kinds of digital media. Oh, and of course, a long living battery is to be built inside the housing, too."
I've been MacUser forever, and since half a year, I own a Debian-Box, on which I work accidentially, and for me, everything you say, goes in the opposite direction.
First, the one button mouse is a real pain, it`s much slower to work with, you`re right on this one. What maybe helps you is the possibility to map the trackpad-button to right-click and the tap-on-the-trackpad to left-click. It`s a freeware-tool out there that does this, but I can`t remember the name not to speak of the URL. sorry.
Concerning focusing/lowering windows: That`s how you do it; I`m used to use Command+TAB to switch between applications, and since most of my applications are tabbed (browser, mail, editor, shell, ftp), I have seldom more than one window per application. And believe me, I`m _really_ fast switching apps/windows that way. Also, I often use Command+H to hide an application with all its windows (it there are more, like the Finder) to get it out of the way. easy and fast. It`s all about the way you do it; I understand you, you`re used to X-window. But OS X works different.

Simply bomb the MS Freedom of the Seas and you may have 5'730 dead on one swoop...

Agreed, it surely is a must-have-in-your-RSS-reader. There is the main RSS feed and there are feeds for 9 subtopics.
I hope you are right, since "the folk" is just too lazy (or call it dumb) to download a better browser.
I'm glad the IE-bashing gets popular even amongst Win-supporters, we Mac- and Linux-users have been alone on that trip for too long.
Land of the free, right. Hahahahaha.

Now, seriously, who cares about that anyway? Thats not how I choose my Browser, and the Opera-Chief is a mormon.
I must point out that I made the switch myself only 3 weeks ago and I am really glad I did this. Nevertheless I like this comment. ;-)
ROFL, best comment ever. Thanks, it made my day.

Thank You, I feel the same. I guess they`ll never learn.
Yes, that`s a possible use.
