When using my crappy netbook I found that I needed to use firefox’s fullscreen thingy (f11), but because my netbook is so slow it goes laggy when the address bar goes back up.
So to disable the animations goto “about:config” -> then type into the search “fullscreen” to disable the animation set “browser.fullscreen.animateUp” to 0 from 1. This will disable the cool but laggy animation.
Also you can make the menu stay ontop by changing the “browser.fullscreen.autohide” to false.
Hope this helps,
Pete

I am board of all the same desktop environments, they all look the same. They all have the same flat 2D display. since the release of Vista they have all gone flashy and shiny, that’s great but it is still the same as the old ‘95 desktop, it has a menu at the bottom and flat 2D windows. Yes there are some desktops that have some sort of 3D or 2.5D display but these are all still fundamental the same thing.
What I am trying to say is that we need to have a good long look at the current desktop and see what we can do to make it new and exciting. I shall prove my point with these images.
I mean they are all the same, I know Bump Top is different but its still not that different to what we have at the moment.
Basicly I’m looking for something completely different, yet simple to use and has an innovative user interface.

Now updated site, I have updated wordpress nice and shiny new. I have also changed the theme which I like but not really like and I had to edit the header to fit in my nationpigeon banner (Which still has the white lines >_<) which loads slow and annoying, but this will have to do for now, so untill I get around to making my own design this one will have to be it.
The old design has been there since the start of the site, which is about a year and five months now ^_^

As its name implies, the session layer establishes, manages and terminates sessions between two communicating hosts. The session layer provides its services to the presentation layer. It also synchronizes dialogue between the two hosts’ presentation layers and manages their data exchange. In addition to handling session regulation, the session layer offers provisions for efficient data transfer, class of service, and exception reporting of session layer, presentation layer and application layer problems.

Basically the session layer creates a connection with another computer and manages the connection, and then ends the connection. It also helps the presentation layer by synchronizing and managing the data between the two computers. It also reports exceptions that might happen in the session layer, presentation layer and application layer.
Examples
Here are some examples of session layer protocols:
- Network File System (NFS)
- X-Window System
- Apple Talk Session Protocol (ASP)

The OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator Controller the first neural interface made for games, and for only £97. This is great you will be able to walk, shot and play games just by thinking about it. Although I think from what I have read around the place it takes a little getting used to, but once that is done its great. Think of all the things that you can do with it. I wonder what it will be like in 3 years I hope they catch on!
