Safari's marketshare is equal to the number of Macs. My guess is that Apple caught on to the whole "including the browser with the OS" and replaced IE with its own. Not to say that it's a bad thing. It's only anti-competitive if a monopoly is doing it.
Huh...what? Mozilla is the MOST W3C compliant web browser out there. IE can't even get their CSS1 pages right! You don't believe me? Then download Mozilla, go to the Debug menu and save the test pages to a folder. Then go to IE, look at those same pages, and tell me if you see the same thing.
Netscape is Mozilla's codebase with a lot of extra AOL crap thrown in. On top of that, Netscape doesn't have all of the features of Mozilla, in the name of user friendliness.
People should be upset, but it's not as bad as TurboTax, which actually put data in your boot sector, an area that it has no business touching. Even if Windows did that with XP, at least Windows is an OS, which is at least more authorized to be playing around with the boot sector than a lowly piece of tax software.
Well, Mozilla is just a web browser and an e-mail client. There's no "anything without", unless you are talking about the features, which are ALL useful. In fact, Firebird keeps adding stuff to its set, like the popup blocker, so I guess this is the logical reason why Mozilla is splitting it up into the two parts: Firebird is becoming just like Mozilla (without the e-mail client) again.
Yep. It also meant that you had to call their office EACH time you installed it on a new PC or reformatted PC to get a new verification code. Hiliraty (and lawsuits) ensue.
Except there are over 60 million people who use file-sharing. The RIAA is basically pissing off 60 million people in the United States, which is roughly a 1/5 of the population. (I'd imagine that's about 90% of the PC user population.) This doesn't fair well for a democracy that doesn't respect the unjust laws that the RIAA is trying to enforce.
How so? It's the exact same technology. In fact, Mozilla is going to split up into Firebird and Thunderbird soon. So, Firebird is simply Mozilla without the e-mail client.
Why do people have a problem with Mozilla? I love Mozilla. I love all of the features, despite however "bloated" people claim it is. Mozilla loads fast. It gets my mail. I get tabbed browsing with no pop-ups. I get a browser that is COMPLETELY CSS1.0 complaint, and mostly CSS2.0 complaint. (IE, on the other hand, I have stopped forcing my CSS to conform to it. It's a fscking 10-year-old standard, so if IE can't comply to it, it's not worth my time.)
Only Opera users. Frankly, I don't think it should be a changable value. The HTTP_USER_AGENT string should tell you exactly what browser (and possibly OS) you are running. It's funny because IE started by imitating the "Mozilla/" string, so that IE wouldn't hung up by programs that were blocking it.
So, in a way, it was because of crappy coders that ONLY coded pages in NCSA and refused other browsers, and that caused IE to try to mask itself as another browser and eventually turned to tables in the browser market.
Yeah, but more dangerous drugs, namely alcohol and cigerettes, are legal. Alcohol causes domestic fights, alcoholism, and drunk driving, and has killed tens of thousands each year. Cigerettes gives hundreds of thousands of people lung cancer. Mary Jane has no such numbers; number of deaths caused by smoking it: zero.
I applaud you for being one of the FEW americans who actually understand that.
Well, according to the article, not too many Canadian realize it, either. And yes, I would love for that to happen in our own country, but us Americans are too paranoid about blaming drugs/music/TV/popstars/etc. for our children's dirty little minds. However, with Canada and England doing the same thing so quickly, it's only a matter of time before it will happen here.
You mean like ISP keep log files, or phone companys keep log files, or amusement parks keep databases of which members have been in the park, or tech support companies keep track of when you called? Seriously, I'm a bit of a stickler for privacy rights, too, but calling foul on ANYTHING related to anything about a database is paranoia. Next, people are going to "Say No to SQL" because it could be used to track people.
Barfights and underage drinking are serious issues that need to be dealt with. While I think the drinking age should be 18 (you are an ADULT, not a minor), 16-year-olds don't need to be drinking in bars.
Or not. Already police are arresting people for smoking pot in public. Pot is still -ILLEGAL- in Canada, but they now just take it away and give you a fine in most cases.
Jesus, and I'm not even Canadian. Why is an American (who acquired information from a British newspaper site) more informed about your laws than yourself?
Dogma was good, and he did just fine for it. Swordfish was not; and neither was Pearl Harbour or Enemy of the State; because they were all grossly inaccurate pieces of garbage.
If SCO wishes to collect any damages at all, then they MUST (as in _ _MUST_ _!) take steps to stop the alleged infringement as soon as possible - whether they believe it "can" be stopped or not. (Legally, they have to do everything within their power to stop SGI from continuing any infringment.)
*cough* *cough* UNISYS *cough* *cough* GIF *cough*...Sorry, I have a cold.
Ice-T, when he stopped pimping and started making rap albums, he said that "He stopped being the pimp, and started being the prostitute." Whether you like his music or not, you have to admit that no truer statement could be made about the music industry.

Nope. Sorry. Try again.

So be it...
Set up SpamAssassin, and turn up the rule that affects HTML_ONLY or HTML messages. Heh, or just use SpamAssassin; I swear by that thing.

Huh? In Half-Life 2? This is the first I've heard of it. (Of course, with the source code being leaked and all...)

Huh? How is one a "reverse engineer"? What is this movie, so that I can avoid it?
One gets an image of that black evil mass in The Fifth Element.
What? No Seven Samurai? However, I will have to see that second one based on the title alone :)
Time to call Grep Law! One wonders if there are actual judges that read sites like these...

Speaking of which, what was the result of that Red Book lawsuit?
