IE runs circles around Opera??? not in my mind it isn't and i've been using it since Opera 5 - its just damn ignorant web developers that are the problem.. and opera mini is effing brilliant on a blackberry
You should have purchased a blackberry - its been doing that extremely well for years so i think you did buy it for a status symbol.
ps: can you do basic stuff like "cut and paste" on your iphone?
I think they used the wrong word from the thesaurus. i was thinking of a cloud as Vapour therefore getting Windows Vapour(ware) but there are better definitions/synonyms of "cloud" here -> http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/cloud
Main Entry: cloud. Part of Speech: noun
Synonyms: blemish, cat's-tail, cloudiness, clipse, mare's-tail, nebula, nebulosity, nimbostratus, nimbus, obscurity, rack, scud, stigma, storm scud, tarnish, wane cloud
Main Entry: cloud; Part of Speech: adjective
Synonyms: clouded, cloudy, flocculent, fuliginous, murky, nebular, nebulated, nebulose, nebulous, nimbose, nubilous, obscure, overcast, roily, turbid
What the ISV's really want is what they've been doing for years. They "partner" with a distribution and, officially, support very defined releases from that distribution.
i doubt that is the ISV's want as that only works when going to customers that use that specific distro. Whats the point of developing something that only works on Red Hat or Suse, they would want to sell that product to as many customers as possible on as many platform types as possible and only produce one version for Linux, one for Windows etc... not one for Red Hat, Suse, Mandriva - thats a administrative nightmare.
If you are talking Bandaids, you are talking about Commercial Software company Microsoft's security cure for their badly designed operating system. I.e. they can't develop the security issue out of the OS so they plaster the OS with layers such as antivirus, anti malware, UAC.......
I think his point is that the install should automatically put all plugins into a standard system-wide directory (with an advanced option to allow it to be installed into your profile) and not rely on a move/copy etc afterwards. The issue appears to be with the plugin installers. If plugins were installed in to a standard system wide and/or your own profile plugin directory then things would be simple to configure and then a lot more user friendly. This location needs to be the same for all distros and all browsers should use them by default but should also give the more advanced user the option to set up they way they like.
You can also have flash work happily in one browser version and then it not work in another, i have that situation with Opera, Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. I just can't be arsed to sort out FF3 flash as i sorted of expected it to work straight away as FF2 and opera were working. I'll probably sort it out when i finally decide to uninstall FF2
konquerer takes the cake for searching all locations for plugins by default, there are 14 combinations of Mozilla, netscape and firefox local and system wide directories. Its madness.
Realplayer, flash plugins all seem install into different locations, i.e. their own directory structure rather than a standard system wide directory so you have to arse about with putting in loads of search paths in the browser config to find all the plugins.
don't stand
don't stand so close to me......

"KDE4 NEEDS to improve quickly, since a lot of stuff doesn't work yet" a lot of stuff does work but there are a few config options still to be done. hell, Rome wasn't built in a day.
"But that's what happens when you start from scratch instead of evolving the existing 3.5." well, yes. its a new design and that sort of stuff happens.
"I'd much rather they had worked on existing bugs in 3.5 than opting for a whole new set of bugs in 4.0." KDE 3.5 is still being worked on, 3.5.10 is about due.

Not really, iPhone still can't natively "cut and paste" so its still not really a smartphone, more of an enhanced mobile with pretty pictures..
You can also configure Konqueror to use Webkit if you really want to.
Yes, they should run. Compatability is assured by MS themselves.
these have to be the longest running and expanding hoaxes of all time
its the truth, Jim but not as we know it.....
where is "IronMyShirt"??
Now i find is shocking....

Are you sure its not "People's Republic in China" i.e. PRiC :o)
its about time they create another kind of olympics that had all the subjective sports in like gymnastics, diving etc.
