This technology has been used for many years by the the wizards. I recall Harry Potter seeing many of these pictures.
If I recall correctly there were some pictures that even came with candy, these had this "ancient" technology, that's why those pics moved only once... they used bacteria, and bacteria like all life forms have only one life to live. The pictures at Hogwarts walls used more modern technology, where bacteria would reproduce, hence making the pictures live forever.

Easy and visual install is very important, especially for the partition area of the installation when you have windows installed and you want a dual boot.
Installs have improved very much, and among those that I have tested Suse has the best one in this area.
I am currently using Ubuntu, but there is no way I would have installed it if I didnt have a second hard drive. If I had only one hard drive Suse would be my distro, I need to be sure I will not erase my windows partitions and that is one area of installation I really liked of Suse last time I tried. I felt safe installing it.
If it's a pc where you will only have linux, installation interface doesnt matter that much at all. No risk and you dont really have anything valuable to destroy.
I could care less as well... But 99% of my friends would trash Gaim as soon as they opened it. It's missing the features that makes msn messenger special, all those neat winks, backgrounds, packages and more. It's what makes it fun for them.
I understand Gaim will soon have video but that was a requirement more than a year ago, messengers have continued advancing and now there is much more catchup to do.
By your logic I guess you are against pop email clients as well. I like having my email on my harddrive, all those GB's of mail in a fast, quick access rather than having to download them. I see benefits in web interfaces, but having a choice is nice.
Also, if you try this bugzilla client (I have) you'll quickly notice some really nice features that ease the use of bugzilla, I find it more simple, intuitive, and easy to use. I especially like it's tree structure.
Public information should not be made public... unless you pay a license fee.
This is crazy, so it's a license for their own design,, not others... But how are other's suppossed to make subway maps unless using official information that should be made public anyway?
I agree.
When you sit for hours in front of the pc playing a game there comes a point where the games music becomes boring as it's the same son time after time.
Not only would it be unique music, but also it could be changing depending on the actions... when there is a battle, there'd be a more of a rock/metal style... when you are just in peace, just pianos and such.
Games would be it's ideal implementation.
- People who pay for AdWords do care about it because they are paying for that click. I do. If I have to pay for a click I rather pay for someone who is searching for something specific that I offer than someone who was visiting a site and just out of boredom or curiosity clicked your ad. The difference is that you know for sure that the one who searched is interested in what you are offering, the other might just be curious.
It wont be easy for Yahoo... Because most of us who pay AdWords primarily do so because we want our ads placed on the search itself. Sure you have the option to not allow it showing on pages, but that's not the issue: you want your advertisements in the search engine, when users are searching for something like what you offer.
Yahoo's search popularity is way inferior (specially outside the US) so those with tighter budgets will still be sticking to Google alone... meaning that Yahoo will always have fewer advertisements to offer.
It works so well with Google because they are so popular for searches.
Not really. It may not be an exact number, but it can give a good indication. Others like me have downloaded it once and installed it in 12 computers or more, that accounts for your "extra 12 downloads". Then you may add: - Firefox added onto CD's (magazine, etc) - Third party ftp sites not tracked - Company mass installs...
As I said... it's just a good hint at how many installs there are, it could be less as you claim, and it could be more...
In other news... - Brain memory is illegal. - Brain caching is illegal. - Retaining memory of what you read in this article, and sharing it with your friends is illegal.
What about the server load & bandwidth checking every single email in large emailing lists?...updating your list every day just in case a new email is in the list today...
This is technically insane. So they expect that every emailing list there is out there (not necessarily spam) will have to continually check every single one of their emails to see if it matches one on this "block list"? It's insane!
It would make more sense to provide those kids an email from a specific domain (example: *@protectedchildsofutah.com"), add filters to it and ban people from sending spam from them (as an extra unuseful measure).
There again... I'd much rather government to not get too much involved in restrictions and let the internet provide it's own solutions... it takes time, but solutions do come and they are more effective.
Yeah... Not only that, I have always personally wondered if I can run a program that says it's for KDE on Gnome, or the other way around.
I did install some time back a few distros, doing full installations with both Gnome & KDE installed at the same time, and all programs seemed to work. But what would have happened if I would have only installed only one of them? Are programs not only distro dependant but also KDE/Gnome/other dependant?
Anyway, this article wasnt about that but rather distros... I liked the article, though it would be nice to have side by side tables with the differences.

How were their mails counted?
Who counted them?
Who keept track of their mail?
Was there privacy violation in doing so?
I'd be really fraked out if somebody keept track of all my emails... even more if they were actual snail mails!

Most people as far as I know just say you need a "browser", not an internet browser, free browser, web browser, or other two word compositions.
Searching for "browser" gives Mozilla & Firefox number 1 & 2 position.
You should read Asa's reply to this article.

Read it here.
It's very interesting.
I agree. When you sit for hours in front of the pc playing a game there comes a point where the games music becomes boring as it's the same son time after time.

Games would be it's ideal implementation.
I think this would be interesting to know...
How long does the license last?
Till next version comes?
A year?
Obvioussly it's "free" right now, but when will they start charging for upgrades?
The link you posted explains how to compress php files, but what if my site's server is 98% static html files? Is it possible then?
thanks
Maybe in the near future we will see some sort of robots.txt page at the start of every book.
That would be a solution publishers could use.
Why cant people just go to the page before asking?
The page is full of beautiful screenshots.

As for your real hope, I hope that too.

Dont worry...
Opportunity will reach it by the time we have our first colony installed there.

It's clear that the author of this "news" didnt bother to check if an upgrade was available before posting about this.

I think this is both unfair to Mozilla as to GreaseMonkey.
Please update the news as you do other times to say that users can update their GreaseMonkey installation to avoid this bug.

Thanks to google's summer code we can hope to have a functional BitTorrent client built with XUL/XPCOM.
