Is it really useful to encourage more people to create more "forks" based on the gecko engine? I'm not against people playing around or doing whatever they want, but shouldn't we encourage people to consider working together more on some of these alternatives?
Be warned: I know nothing.
Anyway, it seems that the Mozilla project is becoming pretty mature and adding/subtracting features is difficult and time consuming. Mostly because The Project is heavy on administration. I think Moz benefits greatly by encouraging many smaller high-risk ideas to be tried out away from the main project. When that idea is more refined, it should have a greater chance of sneaking back into the mothership.
No doubt the lobbying and politics within the much larger Moz project would hamper more radical, but possibly better evolutionary changes.
That it is a brower and not Linux is quite important. Few want to try out a new OS for couple tweaks, but a 10 MB browser doesn't strike me as very hard.
They don't need to admit they have an inferior news search service
Just to clarify. Google execs previously did admit that All the web ha[d] a better news search. It was updated far more often and had more sources. (They called it BETA for a reason). Now they are building it up.
I wouldn't mind users being able to moderate stories on Slashdot so we could filter out the worst of the boring stuff they put on the front page.
People watch Survivor. Don't take it for granted that what you like, Slashdot as a collective group likes.
The news page is nice, but the big thing is that google now searches "4,000 publications around the world. Previously, the site had searched 150 publications every hour."
Maybe now, Google execs won't have to publicly admit that All the Web ha[d] a better news search.;-)
Typical American assh*le syndrome. Where's a moderator when you need one
Ack. Just because one guy is an idiot here don't call it typical "american"
I live in the county and I should know. That's not typical.
(Most American's havn't heard of those other countries;-) )
P.S. in defense of that guy, read more carefully. Brazil and "a few others" are the ones with nukes to attack the west. Of course, technically Brazil doesn't HAVE nuclear weapons capability. Just the capability to have the capability;-)
How long until we throw out the current e-mail system.
I own my own domain, which makes it easier, but we really need a system designed to filter. And make it easier. This is my uninformed proposal. Perhaps it won't work, but it seems something is needed.
People should have a private/public e-mail address. They should all go the same "account" and be part of the basic plan for any e-mail user.
privateauthentication~myemail@myhost.com
I know this is important and relevant
publicauthentication~myemail@myhost.com
I gave this person my e-mail address
myemail@myhost.com will go into the crap bin and be deleted eventually. Perhaps some program could be used to alert users of possible important mail pieces there.
Then we could also have some system to CHANGE the private authentication or public authentication that is form based. I.e. This address has been disconnected. Please apply for the new password.
Careful how you do this. Don't want to piss off the big boys. "Each page," might make the advert look like its loaded from the web site etc., time based would be safer.
For the linkage adverse, it's about NYTimes and Wash Post etc. suing Gator over pop ups
I think that maybe CIA/FBI statistics are a little less forthcoming than those from ASIO. With all these measures to prevent terrorism, I'd assume that the CIA and FBI combined would be at least 20 times what they were just over a year ago anyway. In short: I don't believe it. The USA can keep dreaming that they have privacy, but guys, face it - you don't live in the land of the free any more.
In other words: If the data doesn't line up with your ideology. You must discount it. Sure, be skeptical, but just because U.S. is bad, doesn't mean it's the worst.
Australia can keep dreaming that they have privacy, but guys, face it -- you don't live in the land of the free any more either

Popular Mechanics is [also] carrying an article (with pic's) of GM's latest fuel-cell concept car. The pictures are our first look (mine at least) at GM's new strategy to redefine the basic systems every car they make. It's called AUTOnomy and was written about a little while back in Popular Science.
Essentially, because fuel-cells allow a radically different organization of cars' structures, GM is betting it can make cars cheaper. This despite the fact they'd be running on the famously expensive fuel cell. Wired wrote about this"billion dollar bet" in its August issue and quotes a GM exec: "If we're not there by 2010, we'll have dug too deep a hole to recover the time value of that money."
In other words: call us bad businessmen if you can't drive one of these by 2010. This is some good reading for those wanting to know more about what GM's plans to do with its fuel cell "platform" that it hopes to use for virtually every vehicle it makes in the future. Of course, as Wired notes, a fairly heavy dose of skepticism is NOT optional. It's very much required.
