  3. A great review by dytin · · Score: -1, Troll · on Sharp Zaurus SL-C750 (P)reviewed
    Another really good review can be found here. They even mention how it is possible to play ogg's using the Zaurus. It's a good read.

    (Although, the server is kinda slow, so give it a few tries.)

  4. Do you remember...? by adagioforstrings · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Slashback: Australia, Nomenclature, Books
    I remember a time when Mozilla got little mercy. Over the five long years of its development there have been thousands of posts talking about how much it sucks, how buggy, how slow, how bloated, how long it took. I remember the general attitude of comments in stories of the early Mozilla releases being very negative. Not very nice for an "open source" project. Do you remember jwz's resignation and his disappointment with mozilla.org and the reaction that producted?
    "Slashdot" was brutal enough (and even pro-microsoft!). Here's a small list of some postively moderated comments to jog your memory:

    An Overview Of PNG; Mozilla M17: M25

    Mozilla Milestone 14 Awaits: This better not be M14

    Mozilla To Be Dual Licensed - MPL/GPL: IE?

    Mozilla M8 Released: Improvement over Netscape, but barely

    Mozilla M8 Released: Top 10 things I love about Mozilla.

    21 Linux Web Browsers? MS IE for Linux - I'd use it, wouldn't you?
    The editors of slashdot were hardly generous in their criticism either:Netscape 6 Fails To Support Web Standards

    So what does it mean? The perception of mozilla among a good number of users on /. has swung in the other direction. Who cares if there are a bunch of 'M$ is teh sux' posts. Does it mean something different from all the 'Mozilla is teh sux' posts from four years ago?

    In my opinion, I think Mozilla IS better than IE. Yes, I snicker when I see silly little exploits or bugs in Microsoft products. I work with this stuff all day. I know how many millions of dollars my company spends on Microsoft, and I know that in many cases I can get an open source product that does the job well enough, or sometimes better than the equivalent Microsoft product. I subscribe to ntbugtraq and I see 2-3 vulnerabilities a week for Microsoft products. It makes me wonder why this expensive software has so many problems, and makes me appreciate the effort that goes into free software, even when they get the same kinds of bugs.
    Mozilla has come a long way, and, I think, surpassed IE. I hope jwz is proud of what Mozilla has become, even with its problems.

    I know I am.

  7. Opera and Mozilla are not affected. by Taco+Cowboy · · Score: 5, Informative · on HTML Rendering Crashes IE



    Tested with the Opera and Mozilla browsers, both on Windoze and Linux platforms, the exploit doesn't affect any of them.


    IE on the other hand, crashed.


    By the way, here is the entire "exploit code":
