When Netscape open-sourced their browser in March 1998, they released the source code of what was to become Netscape 5. It was based off the Netscape 4 codebase. Then, around about October time, they stopped working on that old codebase and moved over to working on Gecko.
You missed my point. On the Mac (And I think under Qt and Gtk), right-mouse-down will open a pop-up menu (In the old MacOS, it was just mouse-down on either a menu or with a keyboard modifier). You can then drag and release to select a menu item.
Under Windows, it's not until the right-mouse-button is released that the menu pops up. Because of that, you must explicitely click an item. If your mousing isn't that good, you could accidentally click on something other than the menu with not-nice consequences.
Please keep in mind the era the N64 was released in. It was competing with the Playstation, which was well entrenched by the time the N64 came out. Nintendo stuck with carts because they felt that the loading times CDs had were too high, amongst other things (piracy being too easy). OK, so it didn't destroy Sony, but it wasn't exactly a pile of crap, either. Hell, at least it had bilinear filtering:P
If a person does enough things I consider immoral, I will consider them evil. The same goes for corporations. I don't care what their motivations are, I will judge them on their actions.
So much of CSS3 is not final yet, implementing it as a standard feature of your browser is a bad idea. Mozilla implements some modules that have reached Candidate Recommendation, but for the most part, it implements bits and bobs as -moz properties to indicate that they're not ready for general use.
True, I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek with my comment, but there is some truth in my statement. For example, extensions rarely need native code, so you could make it so that truly paranoid people could disable loading third-party native code.
I worked a couple of summers at BT's Group Engineering Services division and they use summer internships primarily for two things: 1) Pie-in-the-sky projects that may or may not pay off. It's cheaper to have a few students investigate something that fails to be useful than it is for fully paid staff 2) A means of recruiting. If you perform well, it's likely they'll offer you a job when you graduate.
Because the trend is away from putting things in the kernel that don't need to be. There are perfectly functional WebDAV servers outside the kernel, so there's no need for it to be in the kernel.
'If you are using a Myth box you are "stealing" programming information' Err...no, not in all cases. For example, the BBC worked with the TVGrab folks to provide an easy way to access the program information on the Radio Times site.

The only part that needs to be recompiled is the kernel module, and it's not an application, it's a fucking kernel module!

Now, when I think MSN music store, I'll think "annoying, loud-mouth fat bird."

Starcraft didn't have direct TCP/IP connect for a long, long time.

What the fuck does "in tack" mean?

Microsoft invented the whole popup on right-mouse-up thing, probably because they needed it for Explorer's right-click-dragging of files.
Winamp is the best media player on Windows, bar none*. :'(

It's really not that simple. For example, "account details" looks just like "account details" to the user, but a string search won't pick it up.
:)
As a side note, I orginally discovered that as a way to get around the word filter in forums. For example, "fu[b][/b]ck off"

It's worth noting that a lot of Firefox is actually implemented in XUL and Javascript, which is managed code. Thus, Firefox is more secure than IE :P
The page is tailored to your platform. On Linux, the vorbis streams are actually the most prominently listed.
Virgin Radio have already been streaming Ogg Vorbis for ages, they even have a 160k stream: http://www.virginradio.co.uk/thestation/listen/
Wow, cheers for that, I sense my credit card's about to take another beating :)
Ah, been spying on me again, Andrew? :)
Anyhow, that does look like a nice card and it's actually one I was considering getting, until I saw it was around £100 inc. VAT and carriage.
Actually, that's not always the case. With some Digital TV cards, you can get the raw MPEG2 stream directly from the card.
The over-generalisation is strong in this one...

The steel industry called, they want even more protection.
Seeing as Mozilla's current incarnation (i.e. Gecko-based) has been developed as a platform for at least 6 years now, I guess it is an old idea.
OK, good point, I just got stuck on the first thing I noticed :)
