I use lynx by preference, what in the world do you need netswcape for? However, the ability to turn image-loading on on a window by window basis is nice.
At the moment, I'm forced into netscape because I can't get EXTERNAL to function properly in lynx any more (to launch new pages). EXTERNAL:http:xterm -e lynx %s &:TRUE *used* to launch a new lynx in its own xterm, but it no longer seems to do so.
. . . that one's over stated--it was only a prerelease that did it (but it did it with encypted code, and wasn't proven until someone built a hardware debugger for the purpose).
THat never made it into the shipping product. However, it was there in the prerelease sent out to reviewers, causing them to conclude that dr-dos wasn't yup the the task.
THis was a factor in the half-billion dollar settlement . . . though I thought that trebling ten per cent of the current market would have been a more interesting remedy . ..

but it wasn't quite original with him, either. There's a (much) early version placed at Checkpoint Charlie, with the american and the east german arguing. Behind them are pictures of the current president and the current dictator. The american boasts, "I am free to do *this*", and turned around and spat on the president's picture. "So am I," replies the commie, and turns around and spits on the president's picture.
It's pre-Yakov, but I can't imagine it predating facism/nazism by much (at least as a western joke).
The valid trademark is *not* "windows," a word in common usage in this context at the time microsoft first shipped a product using this name, but "Microsoft Windows," as microsoft used to take great pains to point out.

Until the early 90's, the Las Vegas casinos were among the larger employers of musicians.
Then the musicians' union contract came up for renewal. The casinos wanted to use taped rather than live music for the smaller shows. The union went on strike, demanding all live music all the time, wiht no room for compromise.
Having no choice, the casinos then used taped music for *all* the shows--and found that noone cared. The "live" music had already been coming from another floor, piped in electronically.
Eventually, the union withered away. (heck, they may still claim to be on strike for all I know:).
The bottom line was that the union single-handedly destroyed the employment prospects for musicians in las vegas. I handled a couple of their bankruptcies. And they paid dues for that . ..
For that matter, Jackson was generally regarded as conservative and sympathetic to big business. MS alienated him.
One qualification, though: while the findings of fact were upheld unanimously, the appellate court did find more evidence needed for a couple of the conclusions of law--so that portion of the case got dropped.
I just noticed the language at the end of the article. It is a common (but inexcusable!) error: The appellate court did *not* overturn the remedy from the original judge. After microsoft bellowed that this was the case, they took the unusal step of issueing an extra order to clarify.
They tossed out *everything* that Jackson did following his opening of his over-sized mouth to the press, on the grounds that he'd undermined credibilty of the system. THe court *explicitly* noted that they had not ruled out a breakup or any other remedy.

Predicting judges' rullings from comments is difficult, but the language used here is as telling as we're likely to get.
The first rule of litigation is, "Don't piss off the judge." Microsoft violated this repeatedly in the original tri8al, and then drew a lucky break when the judge that they had utterly alienated (hey, judges get upset by perjury and frauds upon the court; guess which single group was *most* upset with Clinton?) ran off his big mouth and generally acted like the wrong end of a horse.
From the language she used, it looks like they're well on their way to alienating another.

Have an american football player run into a rugby player. See which one gets up.
The padding and protective gear isn't because they're wimps, but because they're a lot larger than their rugby counterparts. Getting hit by someone that size tends to break things (such as ribs, knees, arms . ..)

Trivialities.
