lets explain why: windows OS has a taskbar, but not virtual desktops. So I have to browse on the same desktop I do all othe work. My typical browsing session uses at least 5, by often many more, windows (or tabs). I have also open e-mail software, two or three text documents, html editing software, photoshop, illustrator and a bunch of other applications (I USE the multitasking feature when the OS provides it).
So in Windows (in Linux there is no problem due to virtual desktops) I end with such a cluttered taskbar, so that I cannot see label in taskbar so i get completelly lost.
Tabs in a browser does help me a lot because they are taking some of the clutter from the unlucky taskbar and I have freedom to open any number of pages without worrying about the taskbar being full.
if i was able to buy such a machine (if it is stable and reliable) i would be happy. I am not interested in video and games. The only thing I would miss is Blender and PovRay. But it costs much more here. Pentium 100Mhz is sold for $100.:(
i have internet access for free (shared line). and well sadly $100 is a lot for me now. i can save about $30 a month, and because I need to do 3D graphics, my target is at least $300 (and because used computers are not so cheap here as in USA).
and sadly, it is not very often. now I am running live linux distro from a slow machine which is no longer able to boot from HDD (problem is on the motherboard) and crashes every 15 minutes (probably corrupt ram). and it doesnt look like i will have money to upgrade in next 12 months:(
Software patents are pure evil. We cannot use them - even if Moziila would really be the first browser/sw to use them. We cannot use them because the whole idea of sw patents is bad and we are fighting that idea. If we used it to stop Microsoft copy our features, Microsoft would use its patnets to kill free software.
Jara Cimrman, an ingenuious Czech inventor, scientist, engineer, writer, teacher, traveler, actor and hacker of all other trades invented many more things. Actually, he invented something that strongly resembles world wide web of these days, which was implemented in Prague as an information network for citizens in the beginning of the 20th century. It was based on phone technology, but worked like an information retrieval system similar to the web.
it is written in the article : "any post-impact winter event could not have dropped temperatures more than 4 to 13 degrees F (2-7C) without wiping out the bees. Current nuclear winter theories from the Chicxulub impact estimate drops of 13 to 22 degrees F (7-12C) - too cold for tropical honeybees."
couldnt that simply mean that the "nuclear" winter dropped temperature by seven degrees centugrade? it is sutvivable by bees and enough for nuclear winter.
assuming there may be little error in the numbers, the overlap can be even larger
We should send UN and EU observers to the next elections (if they ever happen again:) in the USA. It is a common practice to send observers to elections in the third world countries with dubious democracy records who are in danger that elections would not be fair, how we could forget about USAians?

This is why i do not want Turkey in the EU!!!
BeOS was also serously considered as a base for the new Mac system. I would like that choice.

Too bad I cannot use ebay here :( America has its advantages I have to admit.

No, Maddog and maddog are different. This is not Windows world. Nevermind, it is a common mistake of Linux newbies to forget about case sensitivity.
