Nowadays you have a lot of options to ease code porting - including the allmighty "write once, run everywhere" Java. Lately i've been working a lot with Python and i'm amazed of how painless it was to port apps between Windows and *nix (i.e, no pain at all).
You know, the issue here is not the browser. It's the HTTP protocol - it was simply designed for nothing else but static content. The number of kludges and patches you need to implement basic session handling and interactvity is getting ridiculous. Do we even have a RFC for cookies, for example?
...specially considering how HP is being managed these days!

You know it all went to shit when GNOME developers release a tool to tweak "advanced options" like how the laptop behaves when you close the lid, font sizes or if the shell clock shows date or not.

Yep. Window handling in GNOME 3 is plain retarded - i highly reccomend Docky if you need something more usable.
I had to skip a Zotac mobo with Intel chipset specifically because it limits (by hardware) its HDMI output to 720p. It's a shame, because otherwise Intel GPUs perform quite well and have great Linux support.
I use Firefox as a secondary browser - no addons at all. On my system Firefox 6.x would regularly eat memory like it was covered in syrup, for no particular reason.
I can open 50+ tabs on Opera and have it using around 1,5Gb.
As far as we know today, there's no way for a particle to travel faster than C. Cherenkov radiation appears when a particle travels faster than the speed of light in a given medium.
That presumes, of course, that there would be such a craft that would propel itself with some kind of fusion-based drive. Tell me, how does one propel a vehicle with fusion?
Check this out. I was being humorous, but propelling vehicles with fusion is completely plausible. In fact, the design discussed in that very link expels hydrogen.
In addition to what already been stated here, my phone in particular (HTC Tattoo) is an older, low-end Android phone which was basically abandoned by HTC, stuck with Android 1.6. Cyanogen 7 (sporting Android 2.3) really transformed it into a brand new phone.
My brother recently brought an HTC Evo, which is fairly well supported by HTC as well. He flashed it to Cyanogen and never looked back after complaining about the Sense UI and uninstallable applications.
At $99 is already a great value, but the issue with WebOS is the same we had with other great OSs like OS/2 and BeOS: apps. Android has a much wider selection of apps and, given that HP shelved WebOS only 6 months after paying a truckload for it, it will only continue to get worse.
...the TouchPad will instantly become a superb value for the money. Cyanogen truly offers the best that Android has to offer - i've flashed my phone a while ago and never ever looked back. Screw you, HTC!

Thanks for the RFC reference. Cookies are perhaps the most painless aspect of "modern" HTTP dev work; i was aiming more at atrocities like AJAX.

Flash it is. I have that very same issue on Opera 11 (Linux), and it gets even worse on Chrome and FF. Flash must die.

At those speeds the detectors should be placed in a wrong position by roughly 20 meters. So yes. It is good enough.
How precisely did they measure the 732km?
Why, by closely watching oxens plough!
Sure, sure. Encourage him. See how you feel after 150 years of brutal metal-based-organisms rule.

Interesting idea, and the "cyberpunk" theme certainly fits the theme. I was somehow expecting more coding though, something like Core Wars...

Ditto. Fantastic book.

Much agreed. TC is by far the best twin-panel file manager i've ever tried, on any platform.

Great article. Mod parent up.
