Must write some really convoluted CSS/HTML. I've never really had something render differently in Firefox 3.6 vs. 4 or 5. If it renders in both IE7 and IE8 AND any version of Firefox, it will render in just about anything modern.
Wow - quite a misread there. I was saying that they're already charging way more than they need to, and not investing in their infrastructure to artificially inflate their profits at the expense of customer satisfaction. Not sure that anything you said makes sense in response to that.
It saves bandwidth to cut sound below a certain level. I'm looking at cell towers when I say that - they'll do anything to save a bit. Their bitrate is already awfully low for sound. For VoIP, silence suppression is usually an optoinal setting at the ATA, though I'm sure some VoIP providers may do the same.
Cellular is capable of much better quality voice, but requires more bandwidth. Don't expect the phone companies to give that up any time soon - they're too busy keeping up with data demands for iphones.
I think that even towers with no roaming agreements with your provider are still required to connect emergency calls. That would still show on your phone as no service.
Some of the little things like their patented magsafe connectors on their laptops really are light years ahead. I can't wait until that patent expires.
Except that Mozilla was adding/changing features on every point release. They really needed to change the numbering to match what they were actually doing.
Saving an extra 16 pixels just means I see an extra half a line of text.
Or one more toolbar, which is probably why they're going so extreme. Every program you install wants to install a near-useless browser toolbar. Minimalism is fine, except for the sake of minimalism - and it really is too far.
Or worse, when the javascript prevents you from shift-tabbing to correct a mistake. As soon as you focus to the box, the javascript moves focus to the next box. Your only choice is to use the mouse to select the text.
Macs really don't work well with a keyboard. You can't even navigate drop-down lists in OS X on a keyboard without changing an obscure system preference. There are a lot of programs written with no way to access some controls by keyboard.
I would buy just about any game at $20 new, rather than used. I want an unopened package with crisp, clean packaging - and a scratch-free disc. But there are extremely few games I would pay $50 for.

Ah, the FTC approach!
Browser plug-in? You mean /etc/hosts?
Each location happens to have a BUILDING in each tiny municipality. Certainly makes it easier to keep track of if you're actually there...

This guy needs to get a manual carbon-copy card imprinter and then process those transactions when the connection is back up.
Whatever people are willing to pay. Do you think the prices are based on equipment/maintenance costs?

PSTN isn't a wire.

And patent it, while you're at it.
Zeroconf is just a discovery service - it's not a printing protocol.
Except that Mozilla was adding/changing features on every point release. They really needed to change the numbering to match what they were actually doing.
Except that their security model certainly makes it easier to trust.
And the funny thing about that, of course, is that AJAX is ultimately a Microsoft innovation - or at least they provided the hooks first.
I suppose they need to go the Ubuntu route - what we need is Firefox 3.6 LTS

I wish I could FIND RealMyst to buy it. I only have the demo, and they stopped selling it before I had the money to buy. It's $50+ everywhere I look.
I'm still waiting for Quicktime X Pro...
