It is the window manager that must kept the starting program in the correct virtual screen.
Sure the app doesn't know about virtual bla bla. But the window manager know (for sure!) and could unmap/remap the window as it wish.
When you hit a control to minimize a window, or change virtual desktop, the window manager is actually doing the work like map/unmap window.
Do the same with starting application. The window manager know that mozilla is started in desktop 1, the if the app request to be mapped ti your screen and your are actually in desktop 2, don't map it! or unmap it whatever so that it is not in desktop 2. (and don't switch me to desktop 1 like they do recently. as bad as puting it in desktop 1 or popup/popunder banner)
I find that Ogg at 64kbit/s VBR (variable-bit-rate) beat mp3 at 128kbit/s (constant-bit-rate)
That mean 50% saving already. And for broadcast that don't need high quality you should check Ogg as low as Ogg 32 kbit/s VBR. Astounding!
I made my test with mp3 vs Ogg from 32 kb/s to ~200 kb/s and ogg beat mp3 at low bit rate. (at high bit rate any codec will do anyways...) When I say beat I mean "kick the crap out of mp3 really hard!" 32 kb/s to 64 kb/s mp3 is a no-no even for my grand mother.
So why these brodcast doesn't use Ogg ? Also it is patent free, and quite well supported. (Winamp support it natively and by default)
Cultural difference cannot be "classified" in only 6 "regions", if at all. Diffrence between German and Spanish people is as much as between USA the rest of the world.
Following your argument, why is Germany and Spain in the same "region" 2 then ?

Let's not try to "decide" for them by locking them in a pre-decided-cannot-change-it locking of region.

I'm reading so much houpla about tab-browsing I've tried it and I don't find any advantage over multi-window. In fact I find *many* minus like: - no able to alt-tab between "view" - Alt-F4 kill all windows (done that)

folder are inferior to tag, period.
If you want "folder" in GMail juste use one tag.
But you can be more flexible with multi-tag

they just have been integrated into the main chip
by 486 era if I remember correctly.
By that time they had enough transistor to just put everything inside the same silicon chip, faster, cheaper.
Today, every CPU have an IEEE floating point unit.
To say we don't have maths co-proc is misleading.
You have 1 out of 1,000,000 that have the disease
(and we suppose that you detect it since you
have 99% accuracy)
You have 10,000 false positive (1% wrong)
Grand total: 10,001 "potential" infected.
Only 1 real infected out of 10,001 =>
The test is wrong 10,000 time out of 10,001
or about 99,99% of the time!
(In the false positive, you can garantee
that they are almost all wrong.)

You cannot do it on a "modern" windows without
messing with the registry (and you must know
where to change it, explain it to your mom!)
It a standard complain,

home voting is a no no!
How could you be sure that nobody
receive "presure" to vote for a certain
candidate ?
A secure place to vote is absolutly needed.
Did you forget your history ?
It is way too easy to force people to vote
with some "presure" (weapon, menace, etc..)
If they vote in a place where it is controlled
then "bad" people cannot force other to vote
for "their guy".

Newbie question:

I've tried it and I don't find any advantage
over multi-window.
In fact I find *many* minus like:

- Alt-F4 kill all windows (done that)

I run X on Cygwin on a daily basis
at work, it's on a Pentium 233MMX 128MB ram
(old dog)
it's slow but not slower than explorer 5.5
or office 97 that we use as production environment.
I find it _VERY_ usable,
get me a descent shell, vim, ssh, etc..
and an X server that cost 0$, + no licence problem.
(comparing to eXceed or GoGlobal)
YMMV
(but on a pentiumIII 700MHZ it must fly)
Stupid question but:
I'm trying to upgrade mozilla 0.8
from my default install of Mandrake 8.0
and because of tangle dependance of RPM
I can't go to mozilla 0.9 or 0.9.1
!!
anyone have the same problem ?
thanks
Sorry....

That's not the point.
We all know that, chips get faster.
The point is: when, how much faster and
how much it will cost, by whom (Intel, AMD ?)
