Fast Forward -- fancy UI gadget -- if a site uses said links, the Forward button is turned into a Next button, which is nice for browsing things like search results pages and blogs.
Actually this feature doesn't use <link> tags. I think it just takes a smart guess at what "next" should be.
The "Navigation Bar" (which also has buttons like Home, Index, Search, etc) uses the <link> tags.

They've said that the emissions are in the form of water. Whether you want to believe it that's up to you. It's still 10 years off but I'm not sure it's because they don't have the tech to pull it off. I believe it has something to do with their talks with Shell who is partnering them. Think huge solar power collectors all focused on converting water into it's component parts... it could work!
I saw something on TV (TechTV I think it was) about this car recently. Apparently it's the same as their other 7-series cars except it runs on Hydrogen! More info here.
From the site:
The BMW Clean Energy system involves liquid hydrogen produced from water using solar power. Hydrogen as a motor fuel is the answer to many environmental problems since there are no harmful emissions, no depleting of resources, and no danger to the atmosphere.
X's copy/paste is annoyingly frustrating. As soon as you merely select some other text, or even refocus to a window that has some selected text, you just nuked the contents of your clipboard. I find X style copy/paste to be one of the more frustrating parts of using Linux GUI's.
Agreed! I tried developing under KDE for some time and I can't tell you the number of times I tried to copy some bit of code and paste over another bit only to lose my previous selection! Argh! Give me TextPad in Windows 2000/XP any day!
When Tribes 2 first shipped it didn't require the CD to be in the drive to play. However one of the very early patches (within a month of release I think) added this requirement. The reason? Sierra/Dynamix apparently got a *lot* of complaints from retail stores of users returning the game a day or 2 after buying it. They were installing the game, writing down the key, and returning it. They probably copied it too while they were at it...
I think there's something wrong with Xnews' yenc decoder. I tested with both Xnews and Agent using an external decoder and the Xnews files came up bad whereas the latter method was fine.
Aside from that, it is absolutely excellent. It's very fast, and (other than the damn banner ad) it has a pretty slick interface. It's definately different than any other browser interface out there, better or worse it's definately interesting.
So why don't you.. oh I don't know, PAY for it? I did. Cause it kicks ass. Source or not.
It renders html extremely well, not as good as Mozilla, and not quite as good as Konq, it seems to have a few nasty rendering bugs here and there, but it's still really great.
Opera is completely standards compliant. Probably more-so than those others. It doesn't try to "guess" what people were actually trying to do with their pages like those other browsers. If people would write compliant pages everything would render properly no matter the browser.

Opera (for windows at least, not sure about others) lets you assign "nicknames" to your bookmarks so you can type them instead of the URLs. For instance I have "slash" for my Slashdot book mark so I can simply type it and it will take me to slashdot.
This is just one of the many nifty little featuers in Opera that made me decide to buy my copy. Worth every penny.
I don't know about you, but I usually don't get an mp3 unless I've heard the song on the radio first.. and if it's a new group and some of their other stuff sounds good too, then maybe I'll go buy it.
I'd find it hard to believe that the radio doesn't influence you at all...
iMesh (imesh.com) and CuteMX (cutemx.com) both allow you to search for other types of files as well. I believe iMesh only allows media files (audio, video, images) but CuteMX allows any time of file. iMesh is still a bit shaky much like Napster, but CuteMX is comming along quite well (except they are doing a closed beta now which kindof sucks).
Believe it or not, but dailydirt.com does exactly that. They have daily newsfeeds (I think they use RealMedia) with naked women reading the news. The naked weather is my favorite:)
I believe he said he wants to "exploit the medium" meaning they plan to do something special with the DVD version (ie extra "features") as has been said all along.
Slashdot Mirror
And where did he say that he compared it frame for frame with his Laserdisc copy of the movie?
The "Navigation Bar" (which also has buttons like Home, Index, Search, etc) uses the <link> tags.
And they would spend a lot more money on lawyers.
How does releasing the source help them sell more copies of their software?

Did you see the note that says cookies must be enabled? If you do have them enabled then maybe your browser is just plain broken.

Windows XP has a powertoy that adds virtual desktops. Get it here (deskman.exe).
