you know why people don't use command lines because command lines were developed when there wasn't a GUI.

the whole idea of GUI is so you don't have to type extra stuff in.

?

I know how to use command lines. I have done stuff on UNIX and everytime i use UNIX, i always go, damn it.. It's year 2004 already.

Plug-in isn't a evolution. Plug-in has been there since Windows 3.11. Nothing new.

I have popup blocking enabled. It's a checkbox. and it will doesn't block some drudgereport.com popups.

I can't wait to get a touch screen myself.

under advanced java options disable the ability of scripts to open unwanted windows, resize them and change focus... that is a different kind of popup mechanism that drudge uses.

clear the check boxes and the problem is gone.
remember there are several kinds of popups.

at some point you probably enabled advanced javascript settings... and forgot to turn it back off afterwords, the default setting is to not allow advanced javascript functions.

try it.
end of javascript based pseudo popups.

No, the point of the GUI is to make things simple for the end user, which fatefully criples your ability to do anything interesting.

What if you have 1000 jpegs you want to convert into gifs? In windows, you would be clicking 5000 times. Yay for "convenience"! In linux, you would just do
for img in `ls *.jpg`
do
convert $img $img-.gif
done

You criticized OpenOffice earlier because you said it can't do all that Microsoft Office can. Well, Windows can't do 10% of what Linux can.

I know how to use command lines. I have done stuff on UNIX and everytime i use UNIX, i always go, **** it.. It's year 2004 already.

You obviously don't do much interesting... I personally have stopped using the menus because they are too much of a hassle. I have a commandline in my panel and I can open any app with a few keystrokes--much less of a hastle than navigating through menu folders searching for the right entry.

Shoot, the amount of time I spend at a Windows command prompt on our Windows network can rival what I used to do when I was building and installing SCO Unix servers. And, notice how important it is the KDE environment mimic Windows.

All that aside, I like point and click, but more than a few times, when doing "nuts and bolts" work on our Windows network, I work on the command line. Basically, I'm comfortable with both, and do whichever will best suit what I'm trying to accomplish.

You need slimbrowser then. Maybe a meg download, nothing fancy .. it has a GUI and it blocks EVERYTHING.
