Firefox isn't much faster starting up than IE.
And people could still get the regular FF. FF that looks like IE would be only for people who don't want to switch browsers.
Why don't they make it so it looks and behaves exactly like IE. Have the same skins, icons, and maybe even the same useragent string. Sure the user wouldn't get tabs and it would cause confusion when a page doesn't render right, but they could just blame the website for using bad code.
That's actually a good idea. But you would probably have to be an electrical engineer to make it efficient/safe/cold-running, and all the other important features of a good PSU.
Dell can be very tricky. They try to make you thing you are getting a good deal, but it is not. I watched the "deals" on a Dimension 8400 for months. They had a 6-8 day cycle. One week they would have a free LCD (which I did not want) and one week they would have a free hard drive and memory upgrade. One week I guessed that the 8400 would be going out of production soon. I ordered it and days later they replaced it with the more expensive 9100. For $875, I got a 3ghz (Intel 630) processor, 1GB RAM, a 160 GB drive, a DVD-ROM drive, a 128 mb graphics card, a 3-year at-home warranty (I got it essentially free after a special GE employee discount) and a 17" CRT. A similar 9100 would cost $1,156. It is slightly better (256 mb graphics, integrated 7.1 sound), but close. There was a problem with the rebates (a long story), but they credited my account. It is a very good computer. My only complaints are that there are only 2 5.25" bays (one is used, so there is one left) and 2 3.5" hard drive bays (also only one left).
The MSN video will not work with Linux and Firefox. I emailed MSN and am waiting for a reply. If they say IE6 and WMP do not work on Linux, I will ask them for the source code so I can compile it!:)
I block all ads except text ads. I see no reason to block text ads. They are unobtrusive and do not distract me from what I am doing. The worst ads are intellitxt ads that pop up when you roll the mouse over them. Block *intellitxt.com* to remove them.
Also, the article has "Although the animals are clinically dead, their tissues and organs are perfectly preserved." followed immediately by "Damaged blood vessels and tissues can then be repaired via surgery." So, which is it?
IF their blood vessles or tissues are damaged, they can be repaired
Does this include JavaScript? Because in IE, you have to use document.all and in Netscape (firefox), you have to use document.layers (I think), and it is understansable for some sites not to support both, because it is a lot more work to.
It might be a bad idea to get them into astronomy, especially since a *good* beginer telescope should cost around $400 and will not get used nearly as much as a $400 computer. Don't get a telescope for anything under $200 without *thoroughly* researching it first. It will most likely be a mistake (unless it is a bargain, I got a great 4 inch refractor with AutoStar for $200 at Sam's Club. It is an older model but is is *great*. I think it would have costed around $500 when it was in production). Some good beginner scopes: Orion StarBlast Astro Telescope, Orion SkyQuest XT6 IntelliScope, and Meade ETX series. An alternative is digital photography. You can start them out with an inexpensive camera, and in a few years get a batter one with more advanced features (like a Canon Powershot A95). Or Model rocketry (mute sound!) which is very fun and not too expensive. It can be hands-on (building rockets) or you can get a pre-built kit.
I have a canon i860 and it makes *great* 4x6 prints. (But only on the "super ultra premium Canon" paper, not cheap OfficeMax paper.) I think the total cost is something like $0.40 per print.

They mean 2.0. FC4 includes the beta version of 2.0, which is *finally* out of beta.
In RC3: Bookmarks -> Bookmark all tabs In 1.0.7: Bookmarks -> bookmark this page -> check the "bookmark all tabs" box.
Works with RC3 and WMP10 (Win XP). I have had problems with MSN.com.

I don't know if this will work, but what if you just save urchin.js on your own site?
The first 15 I tried didn't work.

No. They'll just make you buy Longhorn Media Center Edition, which you can only get with a new PC.
But that feature will not be included in longhorn, along with a long list of other "features"
Canon has also been doing this, too (at least since I bought my Canon 1860).

Sounds like Spam!
Even Spam is made in China! Is there anything that they don't make? Will they put those little gold stickers on spam?

It is like NASA World Wind, but better.

As I read this I thought it was a graphics card from 2056, and I wondered why the bandwidth was still limited by PCE express-x16!

You mean astronomy?
You can post your resume as some kind of story on /. and see how many people find mistakes!
But the clerks at Wal-mart don't know that!
