I had this problem to in ie on windows 9x. Using kuro5hin is really bad, since everyone gets to moderate. But the problem is non-existent in 2k/NT (Gives you a pretty good idea of what OS M$ uses for testing/development, eh)

It's not that bad of a solution, either, since those OSs are so easy to pirate. Even in the US a lot of people don't bother to pay : )

A Friend of mine frequented the Mozilla.org newsgroups and IRC channels since was embedding JavaScript into his RPG engine.

One day he mentioned a new image library they were working on, and I swore to god he told me it was called lib pr0n, now he might have been joking (though he isn't really the type), and it might have just been an internal name. But it was funny as hell.

And really, I'm not making this up.

Acceleration is the derivative of velocity which is the change in position over time. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Every object is pulled on with a force of ~9.8 Newtons, and would accelerate at that rate if there were no other forces But there are (wind resistance). Objects are not 'accelerated' equally by gravity they are pulled equally by gravity. Acceleration is the result of the pulling, not the cause.

I didn't have any trouble lining the images up. It only took me about 5 minutes or so

The quality of the images wasn't anywhere near the quality on the site. Parts of the images were washed out on certain channels, and not on others, causing colored gradients where there were not supposed to be.

No, recomposing the images isn't hard. But once you do it, you won't have anything like what is being displayed on the site, try it yourself and see, or try reading about what was actually done with the images on the site.

I might be missing something here (my physics is total crap), but don't all objects accelerate downwards due to gravity at the same rate, regardless of mass?

Not unless they are in a vaccume.

Well, one of the things you have to remember is that these pictures were recomposed by experts using state-of-the-art technology. It's pretty unlikely that they looked this good when they were being shown with the projector system. I tried recomposing one of the pictures from the b&w samples they had on the site. And while it worked, it didn't look anywhere near as nice as the pictures on the site. Some image expert spent a lot of time to make those pictures look nice.

And I have to say I'm glad he did. Those photos are simply amazing.

Natural selection says we're breeding to friggin much...we're making more problems for ourselves by bypassing this.

So, you're saying that because there are to many people around, those who are unable to reproduce are more likely to have helthy children, and more of them?

I can only conclude from that statement that you are a fundamentally non-reasoning person.

No, it dosn't say you are supposed to have more then two children, but it does say that you are not supposed to use any birth control. That combined with the fact that people like to have sex means that there will be a lot of people.

Ok, While this post was well written, it was almost entirely meaningless. First of all, Netscape only removed a DTD. If you use a non-validating XML parser, your fine. Their XML is still well-formed (parsable), just not valid. But that's another issue...

Secondly, since when are Developers netscape's customers? The people who use my.netscape, for the most part, are not going to be coders. If you think they are you're seriously overestimating the number of programmers out there.

But it sure doesn't seem like anyone over there is listening to the customer. You know, those guys that are supposed to be, in some way, paying the salaries over there?

Yeh, right. I seriously doubt that you've ever put a penny into netscape.

The material is already 'critical' otherwise they wouldn't even work. This was clearly stated in the article, so I can only conclude you didn't read it at all.

Anyway, all that would happen if some guy tried to 'open it up' is that he would severely burn himself, and spill really hot beads all over the place, it wouldn't cause Hiroshima style explosion. And you would need to use dynamite in order to get the case open (or some similar explosive)

Dude, have you not got any of what these people have been saying?

In small douses, radiation doesn't hurt you. In large doses it does. The byproducts of nuclear reaction are far more radioactive (a million times as much so, according to one poster) then the normal uranium you'd find in the ground. Touching the two ends of a dead battery is in no way comparable to getting hit by lightning. It's the same with this

Freenet is cool, but it's very, very slow. And I really don't think the people running it would like to have their servers flooded with terabytes upon terabytes of data so that people can use AIM.

having a 'cache of valid Reponses' is a totally ludicrous solution.

Just have a copy of the valid file around, and use that. You could even automaticaly set up jabber to download new versions from AOLs servers.

But the Mac, like other mainstream OSes is targeted at non-programmers, so their needs come first.

Where do you think all the software comes from? If a platform sucks to code on, then the *good* programmers were code on something else. and the software will be crap. And that, of course, is not good for the end user.

Firstly, I'd like to quibble some semantics with you. These kids are not 'hackers', they are 'crackers'. A hacker wears a white hat.

I thought the ESR fanboys had given up. If all hackers wore a white hat, then why the need for the term 'white hat hacker'. While its obvious that these guys are not hackers, crackers, or script kiddies by any sense of the word, claming that 'hackers' are all good guys is ludicrist.
