    create a file called user.js and put

    user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open ", "noAccess"); in there. mozilla will overwrite prefs.js when you do anything with preferences.

    when Redhat's stock price was high they bought a couple of companies (cygnus) that would actually make them money.

    uh, no. win* does not run at a VM on an OS390. LIunux does, because it was ported to the mainframe hardware.

    mainframes do not do X86 emulation.

  13. Re:Compensation for Production Support on How Do Companies Pay for "On-Call" Support? · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Humph... on Send Some Mo' Zilla · · Score: 1

    I use mozilla at home, and it'll pick up your GTK+ theme colors, but not the pixmaps. This is not as bad as it sounds, it actually looks fine.

    Acutally, If they would have used native UI widgets, it would of been a real bear to maintain as many platforms as they support. They would of also not been able to support some of the CSS spec.

    Some employers assume if your not there doing work, your not working. At least that is how my boss is. He's basically a nice guy, just kinda stuck in his ways.

    I'm afraid you came off as not knowing what you are talking about. Your initial statement was that your machine would 'blow away' one of the new suns. at first, you didn't say in what application you where speaking of.

    on slashdot, you always need to provide this information up front =-)

  24. Re:But why bother? on Barenaked Ladies Battle Napster (But Not In Court) · · Score: 1

    I find it really hard to believe that most people who use napster really buy CDs. Most of what I hear people say about napstar is "I'll never buy another CD ever again"

    Most of the people on Napstar are leeches and are just too fucking cheap to pay for CDs. It seems that that is what most of the free software movement is now, just cheapskates that don't want to pay for anything. It's not about freedom, it's about their wallet.

  25. Re:gcc is not c++ ansi compliant on Building Nautilus: Behind The Scenes · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of reasons to use C:
    - most of the programmers who have programmed under the different flavors of UNIX have traditionally been C programmers.
    - g++ is not completely up to the whole ANSI standard.
    - until recently, C++ support in g++ sucked
    - the C bindings of GTK+ are the most mature
    - the gnome programmers probally like C
    - linux is a clone of UNIX, UNIX is almost as old as C, does that mean we should all go to windows, and leave the 'old' stuff behind?
