IE7 Details Emerge
Varg Vikernes writes "Microsoft Watch has a story about new features we can expect in IE7 (code named 'Rincon') which they gathered through Microsoft's key partners. Apparently we can expect 32 bit PNG support, native IDN support, new functionality that will simplify printing from inside IE and, of course, tabbed browsing. The new browser also will likely include a built-in news aggregator. Apparently an important factor is security."
Death to muslims! They are violent monkies!
Recently 86'd /. "editor" Michael Sims was dredged up by a metaphorical tsunami of regret this morning, after years of corruption, power-tripping, and unethical behaviour finally became self-evident.
/. readers triggered the gargantuan wave, lifting Sims to the surface of a previously unknown reality.
/.. Strangely, my comment wasn't deleted, modded into oblivion, or arbitrarily recontextualized - in fact, someone took the time to point out that GCC isn't usually installed on rotary phones."
/. itself was admin'd in a pretty cool manner. I'm a better person now because of this - thanks guys!"
Countless minute tremors involving Censorware and friends, Roland Piquepaille, and
"It was incredible," recounts Sims. "I just couldn't get 'Hello, World!' to compile, so I posted a question to
It was at that point, Sims says, that the flood hit.

I've been on Slashdot for five years and have witnessed the extreme faggotry with my own tired eyes.
Rob Malda's faggot cock has been in and out of so many geeks it's not funny. No, I'm serious, don't laugh. Kathleen Fent (sounds like bent) is obviously his beard so he can enjoy the benefits of marriage while still exploring the rectums of Linux faggots ther world over.
Alan "Anal" Cox, the TCP/IP coder for the Linux kernel, solicits gay sex from underage Linux enthusiasts using GAIM (sounds like gay-m). After convincing smooth young innocent man-boys to share the beauty of their hairlessness with him, Alan rapes them in his shower while asking them if they noticed better network performance in other operating systems, shoving whole bars of soap up their asses if they answer in the affimrative.
ESR, the redheaded anthropologist of the Open Source movement, douches his colon nightly with a special Jagermeister enema. He also takes pictures of his thin, erect penis and hairy red balls and posts them to comp.linux.teens where he trolls for unsuspecting victims in his depraved anus games. Not butt-crack is safe with Eric S. Raymond on the loose!
Richard M. Stallman, Hassidic Jew and leader of the Free Software Foundation, took a vow of abstinence in 1984. His loyal army of GNU coders take his word as gospel and interpret the GNU toolset as homosexual instructions for building faggot communist sex software. After twenty years, RMS's insidious plans to seed the Earth with gay hippy values is coming to fruition in millions of mothers basements worldwide.
Right, mod it flamebait because it insults your oh-so-precious Firefox and actually brings up a good point.
Good work, fanboy cockfags. Sooner or later you'll all have to come back to reality, kicking and screaming.
Fuck you.
Or Opera from several years ago? Please, don't fall into the trap that all those features (including tabbed browsing) that you love in Firefox are original: most of them are quite unashamedly inferior implementations of features premiered by Opera.
Fortunately, the good people at Opera aren't software patent-crazy. If they were, Firefox wouldn't have half the features that it does.

No doubt IE7 will include further steps to tilt the playing field.
Engineering is the art of compromise.
I actually find that IE printing is great. Firefox, and Linux in general, tend to chop off things right in the middle. (Maps for example) IE does a good job of making sure things stay together like thier supposed to.
(Note: I'm still not anywhere near advocating IE - just pointing out a single thing that Firefox could improve)
...Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled in terror, and you would not have been informed.
Im not inciting anyone to do anything of course but I think it would be beneficial if there accidentally happened to be a worm on the loose that converted people to firefox and disguised it as IE - just to push the un-washed masses into whats good for them. The greatest problem in the web industry is the lack of one single browser with one single standard and one set of bugs, firefox is the answer and unless IE 7 can do everything that FF can do _and_ is cross-platform its just not helping the issue.
Yes I can see the security issue with having everyone use one browser but at the moment its something like 70%/20%/5%/5% which means developers have to pull their hair out making things work in every browser and security holes still fuck everyone over.
