This is something that I have to say that I just find annoying. Having one big window just makes it harder to click quickly to other programs. The taskbar in Windows or the Mac's Finder menu help, but don't make up for the waste of screen real-estate by non-essential backing store.
You can simply resize the main Opera window and then re adjust the smaller web page windows inside the main window, or even maximize the web page you're most interested in. -And make it look like your other browsers, IE, Netscape, Mozilla
It looks to me like you're really looking for something negative to say.. especially with your next statement.
IE4 for the Macintosh had one of those, and I'm sure I've seen other browsers with them too. Kind of handy, but hardly a new idea
Sounds like you've had a bad day so far.. try some cafeinated pengiun mints! When you find yourself unable to sleep at 4 am when you've got work at 9am, youll have an even worse day!:)
On the topic of web browsers, I got a chance to check out Opera the other day, and it is amazing. It doesnt have the same windowing scheme like other browsers, it opens up one big window, and then has smaller windows inside its workspace. The download manageris kind of neat. All of your file downloads open up into a smaller window that shows the status of each. Slashdot loads in under a second, and it likes most HTML - although it has trouble with pages with lots of tables.. I cant wait until the beta comes out for Linux:)
I've come to the conclusion long ago that everything companies do can be attributed to what the decision makers believe will make them more money. Think about that.
The whole basis behind my hypothesis is that Intel's web page is incorrect, however, I do offer alternate means to achieve that number. If you read what my post said before the numbers part, you would have known that.
How did they come up with that morsel of stability,.That's about 9 years. So... this thing has been tested for 9 years. Definitely not!!!
It's pretty simple, they've made a mistake on the web page. It should be "The Total Mean Time Between Failure (TMTBF) which is explained as such: They have 15 machines which have been up for an average of 5149.6 hours (214.56 days), and when the 15th machine goes down, all of the hours are added up to achieve 77244.
Then again, if I did read the comment wrong, then maybe it was referring to the fact that the NYPD was called in at all to recover MS property, that was incorrectly mailed to the wrong address... which is certainly not a crime by any definition of the word.
It is referring to what you are talking about in this statement, but WHY did the NYPD have to retrieve the package? Who payed for this? The taxpayers of New York? If so, that is DEFINATELY a crime. And don't tell me "oh you think its a crime just because it is micros~1" because if redhat were to the same thing and I were a tax payer in New York, I would be just as angry.
Think of what the internet is. The internet just a really honkin' huge network, right? A public network no less. Like a library.. Maybe not. A network that just happens to have a hell of alot of people. The information on eBay's site is public information. Publically Accesible. If ebay is having problems with all of their information publicly accessible, then put it on some other network. Not this public network.
Why doesnt the RIAA sue the creators of FTP, HTTP, USENET, SMB, NFS, hard disks, RAM, removeable media, PAPER - since you can write down lyrics, and even voice boxes! These are all ways to "illegally" copy music! The insanity goes on!
That was a very good interview, and very informative. As a die-hard everything-but-debian user (by accident, I've just never happened to have used debian or any of its derivatives), I'm very tempted to drop debian on a machine or two. The release history seems to suck, but isnt that fixed by using something like apt to update all of your packages? The pool of fresh packages seems like an awesome idea.
Let me go back and add in a few things I missed in the first post...
Trade benifits both sides when done properly and honestly.
It was not trade that wiped out the Native American Indians, it was pestilance.
And no, I never traded a valuable card for a common card. I knew my goods well enough to not make such a mistake. I feel that when nations and businesses trade in such fashions, that they will have done their research and will not make such mistakes either.
To the poster who interpreted that I felt free trade was the cure-all, I had never stated nor felt that free trade would be the cure-all. I did, however, state that free trade WILL benifit those involved when both parties have done their homework.
Like it or not, trade has always benefited human beings - even going back to when the settlers came over to what is now known the United States. There was trade with the Native American Indians.
When you were a kid, you may have traded baseball cards... what happened during that process? You got rid of your duplicate cards, trading them for your friends duplicate cards. You would get rid of what you had alot of, and got rid of what you did not need.
This concept still holds true today, with nations. Nations as a goal will better from free trade. Our self preservation instinct should be kicking in right about now and realizing that free trade is the way to go.
I am unsure that the Seatlle rioters realize this.
I'm all about open source, but I definately agree with the other poster. This should definately go in the BSD section. You know, the one that was created to show that Slashdot is not just a Linux bigot forum.
This is *not* flamebait, just a true opinion of a dedicated slashdot reader:)
Obviously a picture of Tux would need to be on there, and possibly:
1. Something showing "openness". Possibly the open part of the cover could be the background of the cover.
2. The thinker. `nuff said about that
3. A globe. You know what Linus says, "World domination":)
4. A brain. Could possibly go with the thinker statue.
OR:
A large picture of a penguin holding the earth in its (flippers|hands|wings).
Keep micros~1 out of it though. It's not needed anymore. Really:)

Not in this day and age in the IT industry. For once in a LONG time, the workers have the upper hand. There is a massive shortage, and if we keep allowing more visas to take up these incredible positions, the workers will lose the upper hand!
Anyhow, you've got the upper hand. It is a nightmare for a recruiter to find qualified individuals.
This is just more typical writer-needed-something-to-write-about bunk.
My thoughts:
1. Geeks are not getting into politics more. There seem to be more geeks running around becuase there are more high-tech companies. I am almost positive that there was the same percentage of geeks into politics as there were 3 years ago as there is now. The ratio hasnt changed much.
2. Not everyone in the IT industry is a geek. Look around at your co-workers, not all of them are geeks. I work at what would seem to be an uber-geeky organization, yet aside from myself, there are maybe 2 other geeks.
3. The only reason there are more financial contributions is that there are many more companies today that can afford such. Besides, they give the money to who will enhance their business. It's all about making money. Just another way to earn a buck.
This is exactly what I would expect from MicroSoft, not Intel.
Anyhow, the comparisons of the Athalon VS PIII on Tom's show that the Athalon is signifigantly faster than Intel - Even in the Floating Point arena! The floating point arena is where Intel has always remained king. Go AMD!
The article re-iterates what we've known all along.
If you can actually imagine how much they've screwed up the stuff that we know about, just think of how much stuff MTV (and other media orginisations) screw up that we don't even enough about to confirm they are lying!
ugh, the translation from my brain to english didn't quite work to well.
I was at defcon, and attended the nearly religious announcement of BO2k. During the demonstration, you mentioned several times that BO2k is a system administration tool. Why did you keep on re-iterating that point? We know your what all of your backgrounds are and if you were to label BO2k as a "system administration" utility, why is it something that you announced at defcon, the largest cracker/hacker gathering in the world? If you really wanted to have it honestly thought of as a "system administration" tool, then why was it not announced at something where Micros~1 would attend?
Doesn't that seem a bit absurd, to make him pay 3 times any profit made? Does he really own this much money? Some of these monetary fines both in the US and in Canada can seem completely ridiculous. Can the guilty parties even actually afford it?
Yes, but how many of those "tech people" actually know their stuff? Compare the skill levels of those geeks which are very introverted with yourself and your co-workers that are extro-verted and then let me know which of the two groups has the highest skill levels.
Chances are, it will be the folks that exhibit the introverted qualities.
Of course, our definitions of "geek" could differ greatly - I see a "geek" as one who is VERY profficient in computers - sadly enough, there are quite a few wanna-bees.

Read the article, it says it will be living at a park in Siberia, Russia.
