  1. Re:Probs before PR on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 1

    Apperantly there is a bug in XP SP2 that makes the operating system crash if an application tries to gobble up all memory that it can.

    So yep I think you should report in to Microsoft so they ASAP can issue an SP3.

    The bad thing about guns is that they are hard to use - the person that aims best will win!

    The great thing about nuclear bombs are that even if you aim bad it will probably kill the target.

    So more WMD to the poeple!

    There is not ONE Creative Commons license, there are many Creative Common licenses. Some are more like a BSD style license than an GPL.

    That is they are more free.

    Another solution is to make it so that anyone who spams for a domain loses that domain.

    There are more people on this earth than conservatives and liberals. But lets assume you are correct and that it only exist those two kinds of people; liberals and conservatives.

    Since liberals want world peace it must mean that all wars are started by conservatites. And given US history if preemtive strike against all countries who might have WMD and might use them i.e. they are run by conservatives like Sadam Hussein.

    The US should then strike. against any country run by a conservative and has WMD - one of these countries happens to be US of A :-)

    If your assumption are correct then US has to attack itself to stop itself from starting world war tree - thus jumpstarting world war three!

    Another conclusion would be that your assumption is incorrect.

  15. Re:Why would this lure them away? on Star/OpenOffice XML Format To Become ISO Standard? · · Score: 1

    The good thing about standards are that there are so many to choose from.

    Just because that a standard is a de-facto standard does bot make it a good standard. The simple fact that not even Microsoft themselves can not make sure that their programs can read a word document correctly means that that 'standard' is very fragile.

    A word document from the intel platform does not work 100% correctly on the Mac platform - the word document format is basically hardcoded to a specific hardware.

    Well actually buffer overflows are inherent problems in C/C++ because they allow programmers to make those kind of errors.

    Java on the other hand does not allow programmers to make that error. If more people used better tools it would mean less security problmens.
