Firefox is a proper browser. Konqueror on the other hand is a file manager, also a file viewer. It's such a good file viewer that you can view either local or remote files, and not only pictures and pdfs, but also html files, meaning you can also view graphic html files on remote servers, aka the web. As such, firefox is dedicated to being a browser where the web is a primary focus, whereas konqueror is more like a swiss army knife where the web is an included convenience.
Please tell us more about your diving experience with dolphins and how they interacted with you. I'd love to dive with dolphins. Never did it, but a personal wish.
I think it's really simple. Distros that want to bundle proprietary software do that, freespire already does. Distros that don't, don't. I have increasingly seen open source media formats rise in usage and prominence. ESR thinks linux has a rare opportunity to displace windows as it is shifting from 32bit to 64bit, and therefore is willing to make that compromise lest the chance is lost. Others, such as Maddog, don't think that's needed. I, for one, don't think that's needed.
How disheartening it is that MSOffice is 100%. That piece of crap. Even more disheartening is that LaTeX is declining. I'd understand why openoffice is down, I abandoned it, but LaTeX? Lyx is easier to use than MSOffice.
It will flop big time; 1) the name zune is not hip at all 2) the design is not hip at all (yes, the ipod has become more of a fashion thing) 3) DRM! 4) Microsoft is not cool a "brand" as Apple.
Several months ago there weren't upcoming elections that the Democrats now seem likely to win and take over Congress and Senate on a tide of rising anti-war sentiment, as good ol' Joe Lieberman would tell you giving his loss, erm, a couple of days ago! Also, several months ago, there wasn't the embarrassment in the media of what Israel is doing now to Lebanon and proving the US and the UK isolated from the rest of the world; today the papers front pages featured pictures of the corpse of a 10 month old Lebanese child burried in the rubble with his mother's dead hand holding him. Guess what pictures will be on the front pages tomorrow, and not only tomorrow, but till the elections in November. Be sure that this story and its likes will be spun and spun and spun till the GOP is elected again.
I was going to post the same exact thing as I just finished playing a game of chess against a computer. Chess is indeed the classical high-brow game, and it's been high-brow for thousands of years. Computers have been great in that they made it possible for me to play chess everyday against a very strong opponent (I don't really play everyday but I really want to). No one I know can play as hard against me and would be available any time i want to as a computer can. I have gone over far too many games, downloaded emulators and roms, bought consoles and games, but none, and I say none, has remained as good and captivating a game as chess, and no game I can imagine playing into my old age to keep my neurons fit as chess.
I agree, it must've been intentional. They couldn't have overlooked that. Sounds like an intentional hostage taking situation till the city is forced to pay them. Seriously, what could the company lose? Nothing. They're just not getting paid, while the city is facing the embarrassment from its locals, till it relents and pays them.
It's almost becoming like if you're not on myspace then you don't exist or there's something seriously wrong with you. I meet people in real life, in pubs and elsewhere, and I get asked about my myspace! Not my email or phone number, no, my myspace! Damn, and I avoided myspace like the plague all these years. Sounds like I need to quickly assemble a vain, pretentious-looking "profile" of me with "cool" pictures (I can't stomach the idea!) and some 600 cool "friends".

What's the joke in this? Could someone please explain to me. I'm not getting it. :-)

Which pains me that, with perhaps slight adjustment and a little thought, this should've done with LaTex.

Sounds like you want an ultra portable laptop with a phone card.
What about itunes? They've been wanting to sell music videos, no?
Some forth interpreters require code to be in capitals. I imagine there must be many other uses for capitals too.

Is he on myspace?
I had another look! You know, Microsoft is known as a Beige box OS maker, but why is their player Beige?!

The best answer I found on this topic; it compares Debian, the best of Linux, to FreeBSD http://tinyurl.com/s74ws
I'm amazed that your 5.25" floppies are still readable. When did you last manage to buy one? I thought you ought to keep them as antiques.
In the age of Google and right-click searches, such linking is redundant.
Can someone explain to ignorant old me what linux-on-linux virtualisation is for? What problem does it solve?

I assume there'd be someone somewhere whose job would be to choose porn for those said troops.

Had I been a Billionaire I would've been optimistic about the future too.
National security in countries like Bahrain means one thing, protecting the king, not the nation.
Like they said; buyer beware! All your contestation would fall on deaf ears. Just don't sign into their BS.
