I've tried the PC demo and it's not as good as the first parts. They've been messing with the UI in bad ways (some say it's consolitis, it may be true).

Not just Windows, also the user.
That's why hiding the extension (stupid Windows Explorer) and sniffing the content using magic (stupid IE) is a bad idea.
While the content is in the browser, the browser is supposed to insure that any content stays within a sandbox, but the downloaded/saved content should be properly tagged with a file extension (properly matched to a mime type).

Nobody is insane enough to do that. Except some SOAP people.

You probably never used a sideways oriented 24 inch screen.
OS/2 "context menu for everything" system is best of all.
SIQ is what killed it on the desktop for me. WPS is still better than anything today though.
But it was very useful to run DOOM1/2 in 4MB RAM (without the desktop/gui - starting Doom from console). It worked better than under DOS.
Agreed. I don't pick the highest quality screen I can afford to look at blurry screen.
That's the only thing that I'd take from Chrome: tabs-on-top. Everything else is fine in 3.5.
But I'm using TreeStyleTabs anyway.
One problem (I have a W500) is that with Intel card you can't use the DVI port on the Mini dock (AFAIK).
Also, when I last tried it, the radeonhd driver was better (no trouble at all) than the Intel xorg driver (Fedora 10).
The battery life is bad... about 1 hour on 6-cell (I haven't tried Intel card recently).
Encrypt with what key?
I've disabled it today and some sites are now really much faster than usually.
I guess I really need to invest into configuring noscript.
Not even close to being better than SS1+SE. It suffers from consolitis.

More like Romulan quantum singularity.
try this in command:
start c:\
start "C:\program files"
???
start /?
and laugh...
I want firefox (and more importantly, Prism, which means XUL) running as a "Tab" in Chrome.
And a Linux version, of course.
time for a bin2html | gzip encoder.
They must allow content-transfer-encoding: gzip, which every site should use.

Certainly wouldn't work around here.
Hopefully it has good mouse support, just like Wing Commander did.

Not mirrors, use microscopic corner reflectors instead.

Framebuffer works for one-app-at-the time.
It does NOT work for a desktop system. You need a separate server to isolate them so that one doesn't impact the other.
Especially since people often take the easy way out and write their gui apps singlethreaded that are not responsive while the app is busy.
so, that's $30 for 2KB/s and $55 for 15KB/s
Also, proper Quake 3 requires 125fps
My guess, CVS was available sooner.
Also, for a developer who only does update/work/diff/commit, CVS (and SVN) is easier
to use than git.
I don't think Thunderbird is an Outlook wannabe.
For that, try Evolution.
And I'm alergic to Outlook too.
Which app do you use that doesn't support the proper clipboard?
The only one I use regularly is Xterm (have patches for that I need to send).
For me, putting this in the X config helped a lot (radeon dri):
Section "extensions"
Option "Composite" "disable"
EndSection
