Apart from that, Firefox is the ideal browser at the moment.
I like Firefox but I have to disagree. I spend alot of time implementing technologies I've never worked with before so I spend alot of time scouring the web for information. I find the Opera broswer superior in this case. Here are the reason I prefer Opera.
Having Find In Page on the tool bar. (Yes, you can hotkey is from other broswers I know)
Google on the tool bar (Yes I know Firebird has it)
The ability to layout all the tool bars just as I like them. (tabs at the bottom!)
z-axis of tabs are maintained based on the last time the user used each tab. If I have 5 tabs open while working and I'm working with the 3rd and 5th tab and I close the 3rd tab I like the 5th tab to be showing, not the one adjacent to the tab just closed.
The print preview button. It helps print webpages that print like... You know what I'm getting at;)
The New button on the toolbar to open new tabs
Many more options dealing with popups.
Mouse gestures
The ability to disable pictures at the click of the mouse
Quick access to most major broswing options but just hitting F12
Full screen mode by hitting F11
The ability to change the rendering size of any webpage by a drop down box on the toolbar (I hate when people override the users default rendering settings, just is a MAJOR plus to Opera)
It's extremely fast and light wieght
The bad?
The horrible default look, but that can be changed to any theme you want or even a custom theme.
The advertizing on the toolbar. I don't use a dialup so it really doesn't bother me. At 1280x1024 it's relatively small and unobtrusive.
While it renders *most* websites there are a few that it doesn't render so well. I keep Firefox on had for those. I also have IE as a thrid broswer for a few sites also because a few sites (mostly streaming radio stations) are IE only.
Other than that I love the broswer.
For those that have never tried it I would recommend trying it. The Windows version is more polished than any other version that I've seen, but I still my prefered broswer on Linux also.
Actually it's all in how you look at it. Is the glass half empty or is the glass half full.
He did note *technically* one-third of the government has moved. The judicial branch is one of three parts of the government. 30,000 people obviously isn't one-third of the government's total mass, but it is one-third of the of the government in the technical sense.
I like the positive spin on it even though the meaning is not literal. (this one was noted that it's only technically) I just don't like unnecessary misdirecting negative spin. Like the story a few days ago that said Microsoft's move to break backwards compatibility for security was a step forward for them and a step back for everyone else.
One small step forward for Microsoft, one giant leap backwards for mankind?
Spoken like a true zealot. I'm an OOS advocate, but I disagree with this type of statement. It's a damned if you do/damned if you don't situation when someone makes comments like this. Hey, security is important here, and I'm sure Microsoft gauged this responce carefully before making these changes. Sure it's going to break some systems, but sometimes something has to give to move forward. I don't know about you, but security is very important to me. If the patch breaks your system, don't install it untill you're ready for the change. No one is forcing the service pack down your throat.
I saw in Linux and its "free as in 'beer', and free as in 'speech' philosophy"
That's why I think the LUGs have to expand their outlook to take in questions of the war and the military use of Linux.
What part of free does he not understand? He sure claims to with the first sentence.
This guy is nothing more than an anti-war radical. (and I say radical for the following reasons) AshcroftProof Linux? Quit a LUG presidency because the US uses it? WTF? This guy is just using his position in the Linux community to try and influence others to his political beliefs.
This is something I'm very happy about. I've followed Andy Dufresne's example in The Shawshank Redemption. Persistence can payoff. He got his books for the Library, and with all the letters I've sent to my Congressmen/Congresswomen it looks like it might just payoff.
I'm tired of paying for 6 spanish channels, 12 infomercial channels (ugh), The women's channel, among others. Give me Discovery, History, Weather, TNT, TBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, WB, all the news channels, and all the sports channels, and I'm good to go. I even find Tech TV a waste of time, but thats only my opinion. If I had the choice; I wouldn't pay for it.
What I think is more noteworthy to point out is that you pay for Microsoft Outlook when you buy the MS Office suite. So, they claim you might have to buy a license to use an Email client with OO.org, what they didn't tell you is you have no choice but to buy theirs if you use MS Office even though you could also use a free one (thunderbird) with MS Office.
I do. Mainly on my Windows servers to replicate shell scripting of *nix boxes. Just install php, and add php's CLI executable to your PATH. Write your scripts, and just prepend "php" to the beginning of the script:) You know like that old filthy "runcbl" of Slowbol err Cobol;)
Most of our company's web applications are written in PHP, but that isn't where php has the heaviest use in our company. I have the CGI version of it installed on all of our Windows servers, and use it as the *shell scripting language* for our Windows boxes. It's like batch files that can use complexed logic, network protocols, database connectivity, and best of all. It's absolute ease of use. It has made alot of my Windows jobs a breeze to automation and manage.
I think Mozilla should protect who it is. If debian needs to change the source, then it's not longer Mozilla, and shouldn't use Mozilla's logo without it. Now, I believe they could apply for recognition as Mozilla, but if I wrote an application and some distribution wanted to change it and still call it as if I had wrote it without my approval I would tell them to screw off too. While I'm a big debian fan and a supporter, Eric Dorland (and whatever other Debian maintainers) need to get a grip. I'm sure the Mozilla maintainers are willing to work with Debian. There is no need for Debian to be a jackass about this. Geez.
Is intrusive, bulky, to many adds, and usually installs garbage I don't want. (and who the hell wants that crap running in the systray consuming resources?)
RealMedia can follow SCO. I have refused to install in for the last 2 years. I miss some content that I would have like to have watched, but well. Nothing I've seen yet has convinced me to install it agian. I doubt it will.. Unless Real changes there software packaging practices.
The part about some shops that shy away from open-source is true, but as with all paradigm they change with time. Java has already made it's name as a solid corporate development tool. Anyhow, this isn't a negative at all. If some shop discounts a proven product because Sun decided to open up the code is foolish. Anyhow, PHP is open source and it's growing at a phenomenal rate in both maturity and use in big business. (Yahoo for one!)
This would be nothing but good for Java. As of late I haven't been a Sun fan, but this could help them in my eye alot. Althought, they should proceed slowly. There is alot of money to be made from Java. Even an OSS implementation of Java. As was noted lately, a dual licensing of Java could be very lucrative for Sun.
Sure it is. They didn't say users of SCO couldn't use it. They just said SCO can't distribute it. Althought, stopping support for SCO is another deal. Of course that doesn't mean someone else can't take the source and support SCO with it. As I noted though, all they have done is say SCO can't distribute it due to licensing infringements. (just as SCO said IBM did)
Because their stock has been dropping. It was about to dip under $13 when it was $17 not long ago. There stock has been sliding quite abit lately.
Hmm, wasn't something supposed to happen in court today (Feb 6th) concerning the compel to discover today? The judge was suppsed to make some type of ruling on what sco produced?
While I know a completely OS env sounds great, don't tease yourself. If this is a business, only use OS where it can/should be used. Otherwise do what is needed.
Business is about money, and OS isn't always the best choice.
I love how it (the PDF) says that Novell is spewing slander saying they own all Unix and UnixWare copyrights, then when they declare what they want in return for a guilty verdict they say that they want Novell to sign over all Unix and UnixWare copyrights. heh.

I will happily buy evd products as a consumer

And you will be alone... with the other billion chinese people using evd...
Hey you got MS Office before Linux!! Ermm.. nevermind.
Do windows users pay $64 for the codec? Anti-competitive? Windows XP only cost around $119.

I wrote my database all in one source file too. Why people bitch I don't know. You should check it out. It's called Singularity.cppSQL-DB :)
Mod this up. hah Thats not only ironic, thats down right amusing.

I believe online games (like EQ) breakup most marriages. If you want the relationship, I would steer clear of online games. It won't be the answer.

I think we should take a poll to rename the word "Vaporware" to "Duke Nukem".
Then next year we can have " the 2003 Duke Nukem Awards"..
Ahh, just a thought...
