>The QWERTY keyboard has the fabulous design feature of putting those commonly used cut, copy and paste commands right next to the cmd key. I mean, that was just inspired design - who would have thought?
Um, actually I think it was the other way around. These keyboard shortcuts came about because of the layout. Do you see any connection between "cut", "copy", "paste" and X, C, V, except that the keys are adjacent?
If a new standard is adopted, then we could have new shortcuts as well.
Also, the new shortcuts could be hardcoded, so "cut" is always "The key where Ctrl is on QWERTY"+"The key where X is on QWERTY". Or, there are OSes that automatically switch to QWERTY when Ctrl or Alt are pressed.
Firefox certainly seems to be a better browser than Mozilla. However, I've been unable to get the Java Plugin to install properly on Firefox, so I use firefox for all websites except Topcoder, for which I use Mozilla.
The only wish I have for future versions of Firefox is something the latest version of netscape already has -- an option to display pages as they would appear in IE. Even some of the major sites have "features" that render properly only in ^@##^%$# IE -- including Yahoo's Rich Text editing/HTML compose features. So my wish is either that, or better, every site on earth conform to standards so that it can be viewed with every browser.

" Typical compression rates for JPGs are 2% to -1%. "
Does -1% mean that the file actually gets bigger?
