Seems a little light on some of the basics, however all in all I think they have hit a home run with the "marketing" approach. Having reached a higher level of stability with 17 the timing is right to try to get non Mozilla folks to give it a try. Using the easy branding approach is a great way to gain some corporate support. Joe Lan admin could easilly become a hero when he ports the companies browsers to 17 with a custom corporate look and feel with logos etc.
Very good tactic. Hats off to the Mozilla team for creativity in targeting and tracking to a valid marketing strategy rather than relying on just "Mozilla is cool man, It's open source."
Although cool, I cant really see the point of doing this. Too much bloat for no real improvement in overall performance and the security aspects are pretty much mute.
Thank you. And in the future, your rants will have much more credibility if you have your information correct. When you get Sloppy like oh say 10 grams of sloppy latex, you lose all credibility and then you will have no following. No one will read your trolls and spam, it will fall to the bottom like whale turds. So in the future, always tes, validate those links, validate those facts and then submit.
BTW, even though I think you are just a bedwetting spammer, I did get a kick out of your sig link. Caught me off guard. You get points for that.
There is plenty of fine print in each and every one of those contracts. Too bas little Lucy and Bo who live in the doublewide down at the trailer park don't bother to read it.
Illegal yes, unethical no. Now you can just about say or write anything misleading as long as you have that really fast talking guy do all the legal exceptions and disclaimers at the bottom. In print it's that fine print you need a microscope to read.
and this post about India's moon mission by 348 that was moderated up to 4, Insightful.
It was not moderated up to four, it went to five and is currently still at top of thread.
Also the Enoch Root post you refer to was never validated as it was posted as an AC.
criticize something based on a "friend's" knowledge or facts that can't be shown or proven, or when they post an opinion that isn't that far out there but is in direct contradiction with the general beliefs
You mean like your post that you've been spamming every thread with? Your facts are not proven, merely rantings of an unstable intravert that more than likely got his karma lost on his primary account. I pity you.
yeah, I agree but why all the hype, there are many companies and research institutions doing the same thing. What makes this so special? I read thru the site a couple of times and it just looks like another project to me. Nothing JPL isn't doing.
In the next six months my team will wrestle with the details of researching such an ass kicking, including its cost-effectiveness and the areas in which/. wannabe ass kickers can significantly add to the mountain of knowledge that has already been collected about ass kicking. It will form the basis of a project report that 348 will submit to the Slashdot submission queue for approval.
Folks, This is not an article about a planned moon mission, this is an article about a planned proposal for a moon mission.
In the next six months the team will wrestle with the details of launching such a mission, including its cost-effectiveness and the areas in which Indian scientists can significantly add to the mountain of knowledge that has already been collected about the moon. It will form the basis of a project report that ISRO will submit to the Central Government for approval
They have no funding, no governmental support, no scientific sponsors and no plan. Hey if all you need is a "desire" to get press, hell, I'm planning a mission to mars!

Damn, Mr. Fribble you are right on. Reading the obcious troll and enjoying the humor, I run across your post which outlines the story and detail better than the original.
CorelDraw 9 let us not forget is only a Beta. It still has a way to go. Expecting the.2 release to be full blow like photoshop is just silly. Expecting the full vector editing package to be in the beta is even sillier.
That said, I think this is still pretty sweet. They have the right focus and direction now, as opposed to 18 months ago and having the photopaint piece available for free is the right approach for the audience that will be using it. Especially the Macromedia Flash support. No one has been able to do this cleanly yet, hopefully Corel will get it right. When the vector engine is final hopes are that the high end color management features will be as rich as they were on the previous releases for the Win environments.
You're close, but a little off the mark. Not primarily MP3's but for use in Tivo style devices and DVD replacements or portables. Having magnetic storage this small reduces heat,meaning power and with less power devices become portable. I was involved with some of this back with SATCOM a few years ago. Nothing quite this evolved but one project, the 19NP-Orb series had some potential but were simply too large and the general consencus was to not mess with a good thing until technology caught up with science. In the end, devices like the 19NP-Orbs are entertaining to watch as they develop, but in reality not many of us will ever get a fully public opportunity to touch and manipulate the product. Only a select few for the perverse reasons of wanting a press release or some other such valueless reason. Too bad devices like this available to the public could do great things for exposing new technology.
The idea of engine status monitoring over the net is funny at best.
Not if you're in to the sport. Going fast and turning left is only part of it. The real competition happens in the garage area. It's a 200 MPH chess game, balancing downforce with RPM and mildly tweaking 7000+ variables to get that extra 1/100 Sec advantage over your opponent.
Sure they do. Also they have moved most of the car cams inside because4 the external roofcams added close to 50 lbs of downforce. We did some initial work with broadcasting the signal via a set of web pages. However with having to repaint the entire screen constantly it just didn't work out too well.
As for the teams using the telemetry, Bill France said that this gives an unfair advantage to the team, NASCAR tries to keep everything even.
I have the same heat problem on several different thinkpads. The heat is so bad after an hour or so I usually power it off to let it cool. The new Transmeta chips, like the Intel ones are supposed to run cooler through more efficient power consumtion when on battery power
This is a very nice hack. And with most good hacks, it opens up a whole new outlook on existing environments.
Look at some of the possibilities. Quake in VR, Online Baseball, Easier input for disabled folks, Kiosks, Advertising, Interactive HDTV, (a stretch), and could bring a whole new level to chat rooms such as this.
Very cool stuff, at a minimum, with all the praise he gave Carmack, hopefully ID will pick it up rather than continuing to try to develop this on their own.
Skylab was great. I have some pictures from NASA in Ames from the party they had when it finally plunged through the atmosphere and burned up. I seem to remember reports that a 1 foot or so peice actually made it to the ground and landed in New Zealand somewhere. Remember the US/Soviet docking? I forget what it was called but remember seeing it on TV.

Wouldn't that be "igorant-murkun?

I second that. I used to surf the site Sunday nights to get my weekly dose of news, but the threads today have just been pathetic.
Very nicely done.
Dude, you need some serious therapy.

Damn, I wish I had some mod points left. That's funny.
Sounds a little like Holland. . .
Maybe you should have tried mailing it in?

I looked at the links and also checked through Google, but from what I can see it's very similar to CLIPS, moreso than PERL.
