It's a saying we have in America when something really exciting is about to happen so we begin to do a countdown for it.

For example:

T minus 3...
2..
1...

We are go for launch!

Crowd screams and goes crazy!

For Silvermountain, it might be more of a nerd thing though. *lol*

T means "out of time".

This comes from a countdown convention used in by both the American military and NASA.

yes... thread-jacking is BAD ! :-)

I found the Telescope thread thanks to the announcement on MWN. And the tear-improvements sub-thread hidden in it thanks to maacruz :-)

As I remember there is some futures:
— new scroll method
— less likely that you "catch" the link when you scroll through a page
— new scroll bar (very tiny)
— RSS support
— better .swf support
— open page in a new window (hold hardware menu button (under the 5-way navigator) and tape the link)
— scroll by «space» button and scroll up by «shift+space» buttons.
— some modifications of address bar
Thanks a lot Kroll ! It's good to see a new Tear version after all this time...

The use of the "space" key is something I had already asked of Bundyo, as I also use a N900, and it's become a habit... In the same spirit, could we also have the backspace key as "page back" ?

One other irritating bug Tear has had since the beginning is that when you define a home page to load at start, the browser does not start a network connection if none is active. You need to select a bookmark first, which sort of defeats the purpose if your hope page has your bookmarks in it :-)

BTW, these and others are in Bundyo's bug tracker...

In tear-improvements Shift+Space does page-up. Of course, this is trivial to make backspace to it so, if you like. And automatic network connection for homepage is easy too. But actually, i have several feature-requests pending for next tear-improvements release, but not enough time time to implement them and release new version

That is always the case, unfortunately :-)

BTW, shift-space is just fine for "page-up". By "page-back" I meant the previous page in browser history, not "page-up"...

Escape works as page-back in Tear, just like in MicroB. I will try to release new tear-improvements on next week with a couple of trivial features, and include mapping 'page-back' on backspace.
May be tear-improvements deserves its own thread?
