You sound exactly like some of the GUI developers I have to work with, who claim that the problem is the stupid users: The customer wants what?! That would make it easier to use??!! Let me refer you to "UI Design Principles" page 234 and explain exactly why you're an idiot for even suggesting that...
But at least you cleared everything up for us idiots.
More idiotic moderation. When I posted, parent was modded Troll. At *worst* it's flamebait, and even then it's still a valid viewpoint and worthy of discussion.
I don't think those were real seizures. My theory is that the director wanted those kind of shots. I'm thinking the camera man wouldn't had that job very long if they were real seizures.
Netscape Revived With Firefox Backing By Nate Mook, BetaNews November 16, 2004, 4:45 PM
Despite media reports and industry pundits over the years relegating Netscape to Internet history books, AOL has restarted the browser's development. The company plans to bring back a refreshed Netscape browser based on Firefox, which will incorporate an enhanced user interface and several new features.
A prototype of the new Netscape will debut on November 30 to a limited number of beta testers, AOL told BetaNews.
Netscape was last updated in August to version 7.2, which brought the browser up to date with Mozilla 1.7. But for the most part, Netscape has received little attention from AOL since the release of 7.0 in August 2002. The browser's market share has dropped to single digits as Microsoft's Internet Explorer reigned supreme.
But Firefox's surging popularity has breathed new life into Netscape. Although AOL could not yet comment on what to expect in the prototype, the revamped browser will likely extend Firefox's feature set with Netscape-specific extensions and retain Netscape's traditional green user interface.
AOL announced the upcoming prototype in a message to Netscape users, even taking a swipe at Internet Explorer for its recent security woes.
"While other browsers have seen little improvement over recent years -- except frequent patches for security leaks -- we have consistently added new features to save you time and to make the most out your time online," the Netscape product team wrote. "As a part of our next evolutionary step, we have developed this new Browser Prototype, which could change the way the world masters the web."
Seemingly in competition with itself, AOL has also been beta testing an Internet Explorer based Web browser it calls "AOL Browser." AOL Browser is independent from the company's client software and adds features such as tabbed browsing and privacy options on top of Microsoft's IE engine.

I'm no Windows-phile, but if I was developing a new gui-based desktop product, I'm pretty much targeting Windows, ummkay?
So if I'm stuck in this alley of yours, I'm going to play with the lego, not the fuzzy felts; and wait for Miguel's mono moped to take me away from the alley.
then couldn't they also be used as microphones? Speakers are usually microphonic; stick a set of headphones in your mike socket next time you're stuck without a real mike in your NetMeeting sesh.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, I understand the definition. But I can never be sure that others do when they talk about it. Hence my question.
Perhaps if Slashdot had existed way back then this would have gotten thrashed out and a different term would have been adopted.
Then again, I wonder if Slashdot could have even come into existence without Free Software.
free as in zero cost? or libre?

> dont give him a plug-nickel in "settlement"
Aha! But how about a plug-butt in the jacksie?
Regardless of what you consider it to be, it *isn't* software. What's your point?
Looks no worse than a cookie to me.
You could do worse than the JRiver stuff too. "Media Jukebox" and "Media Center".
Very tasty.
I switched to Media Jukebox because the ogg codec appeared to be using less CPU than the WinAmp one.

You can have all my wife's Showaddywaddy CDs and her Shania Twain stuff.
I don't mind where you "preserve" them.
Thanks man.
To the guy who modded this troll - you're an idiot.
What I meant of course was "thanks everyone for a great free browser".

Of all the sites that could be broken in Firefox, it has to be slashdot.
To some users, that's Firefox's fault. Explorer loads it fine. [Deinstall]
You need to see the latest TWiki release, using the PatternSkin. Beautiful. Released September of this year.
Hmmm..

Take a chill pill man.
Thank you.
The most intelligent and useful post so far, including this one.
Yeah. I'm suspicious. The caption for LifeTV reads "My seeds flow on the net". Uh huh.
Hell, now *that* would be useful. Where's the damn tyre pump? Have you kids had my screwdrivers? Where are the firelighters for the barbie?
I'd buy that for a dollar.
This is not good news. Are you really hating it that much? Seriously, what would you prefer to be using.

Oooo but developing in C# and VS.NET with all
that intellisense is developer paradise!!
built-in installshield stuff, winforms. luvverly.
If Java is a cup of coffee, C#/VS is a cup of
sweet sweet chocolate.
I get it, you're saying hell must have frozen over right, cos Microsoft released some open source software. Am I right?
You made that story up, for comedic effect. You haven't really been on holiday in hell. That would be, like, dumb.
then couldn't they also be used as microphones? Speakers are usually microphonic; stick a set of headphones in your mike socket next time you're stuck without a real mike in your NetMeeting sesh.
