I have never piloted an aircraft in which you could see to the rear. The only aircraft that I know of in which you can see to the rear are military fighters, and even then, the view is limited, and the pilot has rare occasion to look back.
Then you haven't flown many aircraft. The Cessna 172 would be one example (ok, the really early ones didn't have rear windows, but most do).:)
Looking back in flight even then would be relatively unusual, but then so is seeing flaming debris flying by.
It's a major weakness that I have to use a client for S/MIME capability, but they don't support the best protocol for doing this (IMAP).
With regards to SSL, my issues there mostly apply to Google for domains. As far as I know, they don't allow you to mandate SSL for that either, and that is a weakness in an environment where you can't always trust your users to access with optional security every time.
That's not the reason. Vista has already been released to manufacturing, and there certainly would not be any significant changes between now and consumer availability (real soon now).
We do have well-constructed systems, such as the software on-board an airplane - but they are laughably primitive (because you have to account for all possible states the software can get in to).
I don't think you've seen too many modern airplanes then. They don't tend to be "laughably primitive" any more.:)

Of course, those warnings are largely only relevant on old monitors.
Recent CRT monitors will shut themselves down if the sync is out of range. LCDs will not be harmed by it at all.
What? Where would you get an emulated Minix that runs on Java?
The link in your signature has a typo, making it a fairly weak ad. :)
Redhat is a troll? Er, what?
I'd say a lot of people would still love to get the Red Hat job!
I don't really believe you do that. Here's an example that kind of illustrates the point that we put a lot of context around the things that we read:

Context always matters.
Exactly. And the flip phone even end up in a "bended" state rather than flat. This making slashdot is just plain silly.
The slow startup, and the fact that it freezes the browser during the entire time that it is starting.
The Flash player is much better in this regard.
James Gosling is on record as saying that the situation for the Java Applet plugin is unlikely to improve significantly in the future.
It's not good enough if you want all of your email to be accessible from the client, but organized into folders on the server. :)

Now if only they would add IMAP support and improve security, they might have a chance of being successful with Google for Domains.
Ok, here's a comparison with US prices:
* 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo
* 512MB memory
* 60GB hard drive1
* 599.00
HP s7700y
* Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor T2350 (1.86GHz)
* 512MB memory
* Base HD - 160 GB 7200 RPM
* $519
(btw, it's fairly difficult now to find an intel box with a mere Core Duo... most have already gone to Core 2)
Then what do you want?
Konqueror or Nautilus can still run inside of WindowMaker, and I believe WindowMaker still supports the Gnome and KDE extensions.
That's not the reason. Vista has already been released to manufacturing, and there certainly would not be any significant changes between now and consumer availability (real soon now).

Agreed... I've tried it once. I really can't see this surviving past the first year of hype.
Thanks
Airport 75 perhaps (no laptop, though)?

Or, "Cabin Pressure"?

Sounds like a fun movie. :) I'll try to fine it.
Then it was installed by midnight, mozilla loving zombies, because Mozilla has not pushed it out via auto-update.
I never claimed otherwise. :)
Or they could sell them, and make $1000. That's probably their real incentive.
Mozilla has not yet pushed 2.0 out via auto-update, and even when they do, it will ask permission.
Why was the canvas tag skipped in IE7? And will it be included in a future release of the browser?
I'll 3rd it
