Too late for FF3, IE8 is only just about to hit betas so it stands a chance, but FF3 is still fairly competitive for a browser that has done specific for the test ( it gets ~50 more than IE)
yeah its like they wrote the code before apple went of and used improved it (just a shame apple are terrible with commits and that's why Darwin & the initial khtml fork effectively died)
Nothing, only apart from processes per tab, where it beats most competitors its barely on feature parity with the competition.
If you buy into FOSS then there's also a fact that by using it you only help MS where as if you use an OSS browser (or even just an OSS rendering engine like safari) you help everybody (i mean look at webkit from conqueror, which nobody uses)
I had a friends who was fairly computer competent (on a technical side he knows some stuff in more detail than me, e.g fragmentation until i read about reiserfs), and after switching back to windows from duel boot (apparently he needed the HD space and one partition is 'nicer'), It took him five minutes before he came into the kitchen saying 'shit, ive got a virus what do i do?', he was setting up some software (ironically i think it was a defragmenter) and had run keygen.exe
In my time on windows i think i only got one piece of 'unwanted software' i wasn't playing with (yeah i was the type that played about with sub7 or whatever it was called) and that was a dialer program.
Actually he passed on the information he wanted to change to other editors so that they could change the article without a conflict of interest.
I knew it was just a matter of time till slashdot criticize him for this but on this issue hes done nothing wrong. The meal on the otherhand is questionable
The "Crash Recovery" actually seams to be quite good, better than Firefox anyway, if its implemented well, it means each tab runs in a separate thread (although for some reason they called them processes) and can crash/recover separately, as well as implementing the standard session restore.
FF3 is much better than IE7 but with its new found standards complience perhaps IE8 will be good enough to stop people switching. SO if FF wants a big market share it needs to ship FF3 soon
This sort of retarded crap is why you won't see Linux taking over the world, its far easier to just go buy Windows and let Microsoft be the fall guy if somethings done illegally than to use Linux and find out your entire infrastructure has to be replaced a few years down the road because of some retarded developer who thinks everything should play by his rules. At least Microsoft wants people to buy their crap so they have some incentive to make what is perceived to be a safe investment in technology.
The rest of your post may have some validity but this part is just FUD. Unless you've made a distro then licensing doesn't even come into play. On the contrary if your business built a system based around Microsoft java virtual machine, when Microsoft got caught stealing code then your employees would be unable to use it.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want any of those neocons on my side during a game of Risk. You conquer country A but due to your stealing of their natural resources be the natives now attack you with a roll of (7-7-7).
In what way do you think having an upgradable graphics card is *any* use to someone not buying a machine on the strength of its graphics card? Thats exactly who would upgrade graphics cards. If you buy a machine on the strength of its graphics card, upgrading the ram isnt going to be enough for you, your likely to want the latest chipset that gives better performance. But if you buy a system and then a couple of years down the line you find its a bit sluggish (say you start running compiz / vista effects) , well you could just stick a new stick of ram in it.
What are these mythical people going to use the extra GFX ram for ? running desktop effects Photo editing Video editing Playing games they couldn't play before ( not on full graphics as true gamers do, but just struggling to play it with the extra ram (your still on an old chip set after all)
isnt that what the media is supposed to do, o wait looks at fox! o shit looks back at the UK and sees the daily mail & the sun! The biggest threat to democracy is media induced stupidity (see bill oreily). While i cant pretend that the liberal media is not biased, they do (in this country at least) tend to have some sort of valid story (they just pick convenient stories and angles. But the Murdoch empire is at best bullshit, yet in both the UK & the US they have the largest market share!
Yeah I saw him kill her and recorded it on my camera, but im selling the footage so its... Well I'm innocent and i have a video to show it but its... I cant disclose what guns i had in my possession at the time of the murder as my guns are...
Theres no way something is too 'proprietary and confidential' to show a court of law!
That will mean upgradable graphics cards without needing to by a whole new card, which sounds ideal for non-gamers.
As theyre developing both the gfx & cpu drivers could they do away with the fixed ram intervals so the graphics card can have any amount of ram? hell could they allow dynamic configuration?
Could they do something cleaver and let 4 gigs of ram be used 3.x by cpu and the rest by the GFX or is that issue still impossible to address?
But under unix , it is/ or atleast can be setup to do this whenever the screen is locked. If hooking into the windows locking system is as easy as hooking into the unix ones then ill eat my words.
As you clearly couldnt be botherd to check if your point has been made already, it has. The point of the article is that AFAIK microsoft have provided no way to avoid compromise, but unix systems can be secured " by LingNoi (1066278) Alter Relationship on Tuesday March 04, @02:28PM (#22635144) This PDF [hudora.de] shows how you can filter Linux and Mac firewire..

So its not so much anti-MS bull, as one of the 1st three comments here was pointing to the linux/os x vulnerability.
The infringement of civil liberties in Iran is being justified to counteract 'American interference', just like the wiretapping is getting justified by 'terrorist plotting'
why con them, most mac users i know use firefox anyway. Dont forget fission https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1951 , to get rid of the status bar, although its important to change the setting so you can hover links
I don't get how this is redundant its just been hit by the -1 disagree mod stick!
Id insist that they show im not using that 20%, especially as a large chunk of my filesharing is, OSS or music i left at home. I own physical CDs to alot of the music ive downloaded, its just a hassle to bring it down to uni when i can just download it here, (i had server windows issues just after ariving so i suddenly got the space to store it). I also download a lot of indie music and if its on an indie label ill go out and by the CD (i still wont rip it as i only by it to support the label).
To be fair, theyre just taking your money. If the ipod color can play video then let it, the ipod Video will be much better at it, so sell the iPod video on the point that its much better at it, not that its the only one that can do it!

from posts here:
IE6 - 4
IE7 - 12
IE8 - 17
firefox2 - 50 (also epiphany2)
FF3.0b3 - 59 (mine)
FF3.0b5pre - 67
Opera 9.25 - 46
Opera 9.5 - 65
Safari 3.0.4 - 39(win) 34(mac) 38 (iphone)
Safari (unkown nightly) -90
Konqueror 3.5.8 - 0 (crash)
konqueror 4.0.2 - 61
konqueror 4.1-pre - 63
SeaMonkey (2.0) nightly - 65 (Gecko/2008030501)
so for next gen its safari >> Firefox > opera > konqueror >>>>>>>>> IE8
and for current browsers its konqueror > Firefox > opera > safari > IE7
Interesting that Opera is no longer the standards king.
yeah its like they wrote the code before apple went of and used improved it (just a shame apple are terrible with commits and that's why Darwin & the initial khtml fork effectively died)

The screenshots in TFA show the tabs are now reduced to maybe a 3rd of your screen while even they arnt using the favorites bar!
The "Crash Recovery" actually seams to be quite good, better than Firefox anyway, if its implemented well, it means each tab runs in a separate thread (although for some reason they called them processes) and can crash/recover separately, as well as implementing the standard session restore.

Wait, i thought that Iran was the using the "America card"? You mean there are two of these cards!!!
