If you've never been to this site it's worth a visit. Some of the coolest java I have ever seen. Anyway one of the models you can choose reminds me of the shape they described.
It seems to me that someone could really get around bankruptcy by simply renting everything.
All the hardware/bandwidth could be rented from a hosting company.
A very nice apartment or home fully furnished could easily be rented.
He could lease some very nice vehicles.
He could give large amounts of money to friends that will support him in the event that he gets shut down.
It seems that you could literally get away with only having enough cash on hand to live off for a few months at a time and give the rest away and live a very comfortable lifestyle since the cash flow per month would be so large.
They can't do it in a reasonable time frame. That browser is so tied up with intricate Microsoftisms it would take a complete rewrite to make it work properly and if they're going to do that, why not just buy opera and make it IE? At least they'd have a decently secure browser.
I've never understood why the kernel can't be seperated from the distribution. If all applications were written on top of a platform like java or php or whatever, couldn't the kernel come from anywhere and if there was support for the application platform apps would run?
To answer your questions (as a firefox user) 1. I don't care about the size of a dl. 10 isn't a big deal over 5 to me. 2. If firefox is faster than 1.5 seconds then 1.5 seconds is too much time to wait. 3. I have never edited a 10 page config file. I have a nicely-laid out preferences window. If there are useful settings stripped out, I'm either too stupid or I didn't need them because I don't miss them. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing? 4. Only download the extensions you want. Firefox's extension management works great for me. I only have 3 extensions though: All-in-one gestures, Tab browser extension and Ad block. (I need to install color picker and text copy at home). I haven't had the problems you describe in a long time honestly. The upgrade to the latest firefox last week didn't break a single extension. Extensions ARE the way to go whether you like it or not. It allows you to have a browser with the features you want without forcing them down everyone else's throat. 5. I LOVE the seperate search box. It allows me to keep a URL of the current page I'm on in the URL box and my last search term in the search box. If I remember correctly Mozilla moves the search term into a search tab but I don't want to eat up my screen real estate. I want it to stay up there so I can navigate the result I choose and quickly search again on the exact phrase without retyping it. That being said, I wonder if there's not already a way to allow users to use the URL box for searching.
Calling me a 10-second-attention-spanned mouth breeder seems a bit immature and just shows you're bitter about Mozilla suite's death. It doesn't have to die though, you can take the code and maintain it if you'd like. No one is forcing you to stop using it.
What you call dumbed-down I call focused. My car doesn't have a BBQ pit built onto the roof, is it dumbed-down?
I never understood why the government doesn't develop a system for people to do their taxes online.
Hire intuit or some other company to develop the system but it makes sense to offer a free way for people to file everything online... both federal and state taxes.
I know this is really vague, but about a month ago there was some new DVD anime movie release that was heavily advertised on (United states) TV and I also saw banner ads on the internet.
It looked like a good movie and I wanted to see it but I didn't catch the name or really anything about it. I'm sure I couldn't possibly be more vague except for that it did seem to have a lot of advertising for a few weeks.
*ANY* ideas?
The only scene I remember was someone riding on a bike through the sand or something. Maybe an airship or two? Ugh. I wish I would have written down the title when I saw it. It's been bugging me for a couple of weeks now. I'm not much of an anime person.
I was specifically addressing the parent posters mention of Dell including SATA in their cheapest server line. Chances are those are on board software controllers and not hardware controllers as seen in the review.
So take a chill pill, a deep breath, count to 10 and smile.
I have an onboard sata raid controller on two of my 1u servers. So I configured it and it's bios said, hey you've got a mirrored drive using these two physical disks.
Linux sees then as completely seperate hard drives. Turns out the sata raid controller relies on a windows driver and is nothing more than software raid. I'm not even sure it's accellerated in any way.
So I just used linux software mirroring and it works fine. (Had to use a sarge nightly to recognize all the hardware.)
Can someone give me the short answer as to why we can't support filesystems like ext3 or reiser under windows?
I imagine the problem is that it can't plug in to the windows kernel well enough but I'm still curious. Seems like it would be a really neat idea if it were possible.
I guess we'll be seeing more of this as time goes on. I wonder if Sun will follow suit and install the Yahoo toolbar when you download the java runtime installation.
I thought DS9 was the absolute most boring star trek series ever created. I couldn't stand it. Voyager was hit and miss and the most recent season of enterprise has been rock solid.
It's amazing to me that so many people liked DS9. I forced myself to watch it for several seasons but other than a few choice episodes it was a soap opera in space and boring to boot.
Firefox is doing it's job well. My point was that the original poster mentioned that all of those plugins should be automatically incorporated instead of being plugins.
To me that would be bloat. Let firefox focus on browsing and building a framework to allow developers to build plugins.
I think in a lot of instances the applications focus should be doing it's job well and plugins are great for fixing other problems or adding features that are not related to the task of the application.
If you think about it all three of the plugins you mentioned are solving problems that could be more appropriately solved on the other end. 1. Advertisements could go away. 2. Flash could have a setting called Click to play 3. Your bank could rewrite their code to stop blocking anything but IE.
Not that those problems are going to go away but if you think about it all of the "bloat" you mentioned are really useful features to fix a problem someone else is causing.
I wish SSL would be broken into two seperate entities... Encryption and Verification.
I would absolutely love to have every single domain's web and email encrypted with SSL but I don't because of the cost involved. (Even at cheap rates it adds up with enough quantity.)
The advantage being that passwords wouldn't be sent across the internet or the lan on either side in plain text.
I would just self-sign everything but I haven't figured out how to permanently keep IE and OE from popping up warnings every single time.

It's a pain in the butt but customers will get exactly what they want and they'll know exactly when they're getting it.

Tell him World of Warcraft uses BitTorrent for it's updates.
If they make BT illegal you won't be able to play WoW after the next patch. I bet that could cause a riot on some campuses.

What they only support their own flawed standards?
I learned a lot of basic concepts on it. Then I moved to classic ASP VBScript, then I moved to ASP Jscript. Then to php and I haven't looked back.
Nuff said.

How do you do your state taxes?

The thing is, a person *can't* be sure that "no amount of love or joy can mitigate it."
It's completely impossible to predict the future in it's entirety debilitated or not.

Does anyone have an explanation as to why firefox's online update feature doesn't upgrade to 1.0.1?
Does it run linux?
