Both. Things like forecast fox don't depend so much on the browser so long as they can sit happily in the statusbar (at least how I use it it's happy), but things like firebug get honest-to-gosh broken. As in you can open it and use it to edit css to show in a page, but it will not call the stylesheets or outline an element you hover over. So it's still kinda useful but heavily limited.
This was recently discussed at a forum I moderate; a user put in a request that we create a new 'sarcasm smiley' when several good alternatives already exist. While some members pointed out we already had a very good sarcastic looking emoticon, others put forward this screencap from the animated zelda cartoon: http://alum.hampshire.edu/~bjk02/princess/link1.jpg
The thread then disentegrated into posting comic book man and nelson from the Simpsons, concluding with the obivous 'guys, just use the fake html/bbcode [/sarcasm]'.
My parents started with solitare, the classic. After they played a few thousand games apiece of that, they moved on to freecell. They got that mastered too, and graduated to hearts. They're still playing hearts, and my dad even taught the game to my grandpa, uncle, and family friend who meet every second sunday night, originally to play dominos, but now domino night has become hearts night if not in name, then definitely in substance.
(going to domino night was a special treat while growing up because I couldn't go if it was a school night. my mom didn't want me going to bed at 2am for some reason:D)
Everyone I grew up with made at least one hotmail account and sent one funny chain message or ecard, but then again, my grandma has a computer and emails old friends she hasn't seen in years (she's 84 pretty soon)
and heck, the lady who practically was my grandma used to use the internet with windows 3.1. she said it got too 'snowy' though when I asked her what that was like xD
I guess if you count all those poor ($300/mo social security) pensioners who live in a house by themselves, you might come up with 1/5. But even in those homes that can't afford dialup, there are still voracious library users. All the immigrants who haven't learned english yet also put a lot of time in at the library computers.
it's more stable than ff2 on mac also. When I installed b3 to see what it was like and found out it'd already taken over my preferences and passwords, I wasn't too worried because it turns out it didn't crash nearly as much as 2.11 or whatever I was using at the time. plus it had some awesome new features, and the only worthwhile extensions I wanted were being updated fairly quickly to keep up with the new betas.
(there's a nice little summary that mentions fred the white hole who tends to regurgitate objects from the mass his complementary black hole swallowed, or maybe he swallowed and then collapsed, I really don't remember)
I had to waste someone's http bandwidth downloading xubuntu a couple of days ago because my utorrent downloads never go faster than 12kbps (on a 768 connection) and often slower than 7kbps.
I'm not going to spend 13 hours downloading something when i can get it in an hour. That's why they shouldn't limit bt traffic. Sorry for costing someone an extra 25Â because my ISP (centurytel) is crappy!
(and this is just with the desktop. If I ever torrent anything on my laptop it just downright kills the network connection. every. time. but it doesn't at my boyfriend's house (warner cable). how queer!)
anyways, I'm just one fish in the sea. I'm sure there's several others just like me. we fish swim in mighty big schools.
The PNG website used to have up a huge 16 million color image (where did that get off to?) and I know I sure as hell can't tell the difference between colors in a row.
It's a beautiful image, and I think it shows off not only PNG's capabilities but also 16 million color's. (and it does show off png very beautifully, 512x32768 pixels at 116kb.
The way I understand it (probably badly), sunlight pumps energy into the atmosphere. The radiant heat warms the air in one location, the heat makes the air want to move to a cold location, ergo wind.
the neat thing about wind power is that it takes away a little bit of that wind power and converts it to electricity.
if you argue that we are responsible for the extra energy via trapping it with our carbon dioxides, then you could say that we are reversing the effects of global warming and instead of having massively huge thunderstorms from extra atmospheric energy that uproot huge healthy oak trees in arkansas, by putting a bunch of turbines in oklahoma, you keep your trees and get extra energy.
And I don't have to wear my hair in a ponytail every day because the wind keeps blowing it into my face.
Huh, I read in our student newspaper last week that the university had received a bunch of notices from the RIAA recently.
They had the obligatory inane quote from some kid in student government (where do they find these people?) and said that due to the intense red tape associated with copyright procedures, it probably would grind to a halt. Whatever! It's nice to know that I didn't trigger it personally, I guess.
And watching a [HD] movie on my 15" laptop!?! Haha, what's the point? I'd rather watch it on something designed and comfortable for movie/TV watching. For me, movie watching is a choice between the MBP or the PS2. the ps2 doesn't play AVIs quite so easily 8) (and doesn't have as cool a remote!)
I didn't mean to click it but apparently subconsciously 'hey let's hover over to see the url' == 'hey let's click it!'. I didn't even get x11 opened, it just opened in a new tab and tried to make my window move around, as though that would keep me from cmd+w ing it.
I was wondering if anyone had any numbers on the market share of IE vs other browsers in Turkey. A few quick google searches were hesitant to reveal anything.
After some thought, i have decided my issue with godaddy is that so many shady hosts use them to register domains in their own names instead of their customers. That's how I lost my first domain! Of course the host went down about a month before my hosting was up (but still tried to renew automatically) so I couldn't access anything.
Of course that means there's nothing wrong with godaddy itself (other than an ugly mascot) but the association is tainted for me now
When I was an IRC nublet (not so long ago compared to some), a very influential woman (well, so she claimed!) told me that green on black was the most relaxing color for long term usage.
I tried it out on the mIRCs and found that I liked the old school style and accordingly set it to the default color in IE (while not incredibly long ago, it was long enough ago) and mIRC both.
I have KVIRC on my mac set to green on black, although when I realized you could change the default colors I did, so it's a prettier green at least now.
The key is you want the least amount of brightness (black screen) so that your rods and cones have less to do, your iris can relax, whatever. And since green seems to be the largest band of "hue" that we can detect, why not?
What's the difference between 'force compatibility' and disabling check.compatibility in about:config? Because the latter tended to make ff3b4 crash when closing the program.:]
Filipina women are a great example of behavior that can easily be mistaken for flirting. I've never been more confounded by any other culture. The world "no" just isn't in their immediate vocabulary. Hindi?

for a given of 'small bugfix' anyways.

Most people I've heard say they play minesweeper.
sounds like my MBP -.- minus the 'older subnotebook' part :D
if it was a phone survey, they won't have reached any dial up users because all their phones would have been busy :]

waste of HTTP bandwidth. on BT it could've been 50 different people sharing it, and I would've been helping other people by seeding while I dl'd it.
So Diane Duane *did* know what she was talking about in that book!

will there be a need for neooffice after this? I thought their primary function was making OO.O mac-like.

if you're a french citizen, then you are probably wondering by now why you use the same prepositions with states as you do with countries.

I'm sure an iPod would go nicely with my MBP, but for some reason I have more problems committing to a $200 purchase than a $1800 one.

Our on-line signatures are not so much signatures as rubberstamps. Sometimes people like to go for the more personal effect.
