FAQs are great. I usually read them as one of the first things on a site. They breakdown the most important points in bite-sized chunks. They're also very useful because they're problem oriented (questions), which makes it more likely that

Does anyone have any thoughts to offer on when this will change? Will the shift to Vista or Windows 7 change this?

This article came up in another thread, let me repeat what I've said there, because this article is inaccurate: The 20 USD/h sounded like a bit much, so I did a check on that number. According to a site about wages by the largest Dutch unio

Looking at the data published by the Dutch Statistics Bureau, it seems to me that the most pronounced drop is in the money crimes. They have been falling quite heavily since 2002 (after a jump up two years before). Violence seems to be stea

The 20 USD/h sounded like a bit much, so I did a check on that number. According to a site about wages by the largest Dutch union, the minimum wage for a 40 hour workweek is 1491.70 EUR/month. That comes down to about 8.61 EUR/h or (current

Depends on your definition of poor. Here in The Netherlands, poverty is defined as the lowest x% of income. (From what I hear, it's the same in the larger part of Europe, but I can't remember my sources...) That would make high income dispa

I really wonder what they'll come up with. Unlike you, I really enjoy my tabs. They work perfectly for me. They give easy access to and a quick overview of open pages. At a cost of almost no display space. I've been hooked on tabs since bef

As an Opera user, I don't recognize this at all. Most sites work fine with Opera. Only problem I have is Flash. But that actually works a lot better in Opera than in Firefox. At least when it crashes in Opera, only Flash dies. If it dies in
