    Netscape is actually a surprisingly capable browser! It actually scores better on acid3 then firefox 2.0.0.12, opera 9.26 and most surprisingly IE7 or IE8, with a score of 58/100

    Netscape navigator 9.0.0.6 (I have it installed just for laughs) shows the 3D button but the plugin shows some errors and crashes the browser if you try it anyways.

    you are not expected to for another 6 weeks when the next stable release comes out. They simultaneously work on 3 versions at a time. As we speak version 10 is being developed and 8 and 9 are being stabilized in the alpha and beta channels. As soon as the currently beta becomes a release version, the alpha becomes the new beta, and they build an alpha build from the nightly channel. This is only the first of several fx8 betas before release. New alpha and beta builds are constantly being created to fix new bugs as they are being found and as the builds are tested by new and larger groups of testers.

  20. easy solution - boot grub from NTLDR not MBR on How Microsoft Can Lock Linux Off Windows 8 PCs · · Score: 1

    just install grub to an alternate partition and create a 512 byte file (linux.bin) of the first section of that partition(containing the bootloader). Copy that file to your C: drive and add the to the list in your windows NTLDR. Then configure windows ntldr to automatically load the grub option. I am currently doing this with win XP and I don't see why it wouldn't still work...unless they have eliminated the NTLDR too. It is essentially a variation of this method http://www.gnulinuxclub.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=138&Itemid=31

    ...and that is a bad thing? everyone was bitching about how unstable and bloated and slow it was so they did something to get the fixes out sooner to the primary user base. Now they are complaining that it is not bloated enough and that they are fixing it too often.

    This is already fixed in version 7 (remember team memshrink?). Just wait a few weeks and everything will be fine. On the old release cycle you would have to wait another 6 months and you would get all kinds of useless features and GUI changes thrown at you.

  23. Not news. Only an idea on Mozilla Contemplating Five Week Release Cycle · · Score: 1

    There is no nthing to see here. Some boob threw a dumb idea out there about increasing the rapid release cycle and the community talked him out of it. Just like asa dotzler's removing the version number from the about dialog proposal, this is dead in the water. What this proposal did spark is more discussion on how they can work more productively and efficiently - which is a good thing.
