I am going to reply, even though you will probably never see the answer.:) I have plenty of paying customers, and I try to get 100% of the traffic. No "You have some kind of weird browser, I don't wont your money" type of pages. Using the CORRECT standards, ALL browser work fine on my websites, mrs, fancy webdesigner. No broken HTML needed. You are contradicting yourself left and right: "Unlike the tech elite, most users just want to be able to access content on the internet." Exactly, that is why I support CORRECT standard HTML and stuff. I turn nobody away. I alienate NOBODY, mr Fronpage. I do things CORRECTLY. Go back to your Photoshop. J.
Tecnically, probably. But I simply don't have the GSM/GPRS knowledge to be sure. The ID is stored on the SIMS card, a fingernail-sized smartcard you get with your phone. So to steal the access, you need to read the (AFAIK) encrypted ID (It has indeed been done, so phone companies are aware of this problem), send it back to you, and then you have to rig your phone to transmit that ID. Hardly worth the hassle, and I'm sure that phone "server software" detects duplicate ID. At least I hope so, otherwise some developer should definetly start a carriers in the Fries business! J.
Looking at the 2001 Zeitgeist I see disturbing trend: Top women searches: Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna & Aaliyah. And top men searches: Nostradamus, Bin Laden, Enimen, Michael Jackson & Howard Stern. Is beard in?
The more I use Mozilla, the more I like it. A good mesure of a quality software (or anything else). IE feels like a toy browser now. Mozilla is stable, fast and support correct standards. I just don't understand what people are doing wrong to get Mozilla unstable, on my Atlhon 750/XP it runs for days. J.
I wonder if it could be possible to write a spyware in XUL? Just build a sidebar applet that stays hidden, perhaps? I actually have no idea, but could XUL be just as bad security breach as ActiveX? (Or whatever it is called this week) J.
An excerpt from the pilot: Crais is the captain of a command carrier ship belonging to a military empire known as Peacekeepers. Peacekeepers are an oppressive, human-like species known for keeping "peace" and "stability" with the use of brutality and military cunning. One of their jobs is the assassination and imprisonment of political dissidents and trouble makers.
Hmm... haven't I seen this somewhere else recently...
I don't know how it is in your country, but where I live, I can get all the electricity I want as long as I pay for it, and the system can handle it. I didn't know that electric companies put cap on electricity. "Dude, you can only use 20W/H!" J.
Is there a feedback rating in the Gnutella protocol? Wouldn't it be nice to mark a file+sharer -1, Fake. The more "-" the file gets, the lower it is in the result list. And the sharer should be punished, although I don't know how. J.
This (and many others) happen when laywers and marketers get their mutts in business they don't understand. I don't see engineers looking over the shoulders of the company laywers telling them what to do! The whole concept of business is more and more ass-backwards, instead of making a product and service at a price that people want, well... I don't really know what to call stunts like this. Stupidity is not the correct word. Maybe we need a noun/verb for "people who have no touch with REALITY, and are living in their own little fantasy world!" J.
Yeah, he only drawed the thing. I mean, I could do that! Corporations have rights, too you know. Anybody can dabble wit pencils and paper, but it takes real work to create all those special effects... J:
Has Slashdot no integrity? Dragons Lair is going to be released on all major platforms, Playstation, Playstation 2, Nintendo Gamecube, XBox and PC.
Give me a break!

Yet he did register, he didn't even have to.
So by your logic:
If I am not forced to register, I will.
If I am forced to register, I will not!

Are you joking? US is one of the top western countries on Amnesty International lists regarding Human rights...

Pay? How do you figure that out? I registered, it is free after all. Why did you register here on slashdot, then?

Mozilla, the big one
Phoenix, it's smaller brother
K-Meleon, the smallest of them all
Mozilla comes with nice mail program too.

So I can see the billboard with a lot of pink color?

- IMatch, simply the best Image Database I have found, nothing comes close to this in the Open world.
- Strategy Games, do you really think we will see Age of Mythology or Warcraft on Linux?
Get me these two, or at least IMatch clone, and I'll try again to switch. Windows XP is annoying.(Gawd, how I miss BeOS)
J.
LOL! At least you got +1, Insightful. I wish I would get that stuff some moderators are smoking, it must be good! :)
