Not really, there was no 9x and NT hybrid. Windows Me tried to hide the command line as much as it could, but it was still running on top of MSDOS.

Criticism and pointing out mistakes or hyperbole in an article don't amount to 'hate'. You really need to get out of the RDF, it's affecting your thought process.

Stop moving the goal posts; the GP was clearly referring to browsers and not browser engines.

Opera's shift to WebKit should concern everyone. It's likely a good decision for them, but it consolidates WebKit's position as the dominant rendering engine, and having any dominant engine is bad, as you go from standards directing engines to the dominant engine imposing "standards".
Personally, I'm glad the opera devs will be working on the engine, as opera was usually the fastest to report and fix bugs out of all the browsers. Their work and experience will certainly improve the project as a whole.

Submission + - Researchers Use Lasers for Cooling (txchnologist.com)
MatthewVD writes: "Infrared cameras on satellites and night vision goggles could soon use lasers to cool their components. According to the study published in Nature, researchers in Singapore were able to cool the semiconductor cadmium sulfide from 62 degrees fahrenheit to -9 degrees by focusing a green laser on it and making it fluoresce and lose energy as light. Since they require neither gas nor moving parts, they can be more compact, free from vibration and not prone to mechanical failure."
