Not that I think they should.... personally, the higher the percentage of the world using a single browser version, the further along advanced web-based development could progress, because gone is the issue of making everything compatible with the lowest common denomanator.
And security goes right out the window.
Ever wonder why a single virus works on 900 million windows boxes but a worm for Linux only works on a certain distro with a certain service enabled etc? Homogenous networks mean that once a single machine is broken, they all go down.
Maybe Domino would have been a better name for windows.

And if you type in "IBM Thinkpad" into Netscape 6, you will get a Netscape Search result, and if you type "IBM Thinkpad" into Mozilla you will get a Google search result and if you type "IBM Thinkpad" into the second field of Opera's location bar you get a search result . . . this is old news. You can even enable "Internet Keywords" in the Mozilla browsers which surprise, surprise, uses the Netscape service. You wanna sue them too?
In that vein, I agree with your points on Mozilla. It's completely ridiculous that you can "customize" it to look like a Star Trek computer or a Golf Course, but can't select your own toolbar buttons. Somebody really misthought out that one. screenshot
I read about your lawsuit on Slashdot today. Even though many are bashing your company for various reasons, I am writing to congratulate you and to thank you for respecting my privacy. I wish you best of luck in the lawsuit and hope that it will start a new trend of respecting customer privacy.
Big whoop. Like he said in the article, it is used for billing the search engines who pay for inclusion. If you don't like it, just write your own sidebar, it is quite simple to do so. Look at a simple dict.org sidebar I wrote.
If IE's Windows integration is a monopoly, then I'm all for the removal of Konqueror from KDE.
Apples and oranges. Windows is an OS, KDE is a gui. You cannot remove IE from the OS (windows), but you are quite free to remove Konqueror from the OS (linux/*BSD/etc).
This readme describes how the vulnerability works.
No, really it will download and execute calc.exe from a Win98SE install. Of course, since it could be any program, including trojans or viruses you'd have to trust me. Doesn't that suck;)

Brian West Update

· Score: 2, Informative
Here is an email communication from the editor at PDNS that should answer your question.
you're welcome Mr. Ford...also, the FBI got involved because there were
attempts made from three or four different offices of the company Mr. West
worked for to get into the software...Oklahoma and Arkansas, thus crossing
of state lines...I'm not privy to all the information about this case
because we, here at the newspaper, are not part of the suit...Mr. West is
trying to get as much sympathy as he can, but, he is not telling the whole
story...only the portion that paints him as a "white-hatted hacker".

You missed the point that because they own so many stations, some people don't have that option.

Handling the Loads
·
· Score: 1
Well, apparently you are unable to read. Let me quote a bit to refresh your memory.
Countless people have asked me questions about how Slashdot handled the gigantic load spike. I'm going to try to answer a few of these questions now. Keep reading if you're interested.
The algorithm has already been shown to have fatal flaws (search for Plaintext Defense). Sarah Flannery herself was quoted as such. However, there is nothing to say that the flaw cannot be eliminated in the next version. To say the least, this algorithm provides a strong foundation on which to build.
Each of your silly objections can be alleviated right now, if you used even one single brain cell on thinking about it.
the location bar becomes full length below the navigation buttons
rectangular navigation buttons are used to save vertical space (a la IE)
So write a theme that does this, or look through the available themes on themes.org. Strike one for the intellectually challenged.
that annoying "Search Netscape Search for" pulldown that appears as I type a URL is removed
So turn it OFF, buddy. Did you forget to turn on your brain switch this morning? Strike two.
there's no pop up alert when a site is unreachable (no one has "127.0.0.1 m.doubleclick.net" in their/etc/hosts anymore? hello?)
Why bother with that silliness? Man you are clueless. Right click on the doubleclick image, select "Block images from this server". Strike three, this moron is out.
Whoopty. All your problems are fixed. Quite trolling and bitching and go download mozilla. This time remember to use that grey matter between your ears.
I have a Debian server w/ a K6II-350 and 192MB RAM running anywhere from 1-4 instances of Mozilla for roaming clients over a 10mb network. (on a hub, too, not a switch)
It is quite snappy. I think you might need to take a look at your system.

You are a dipshit and have obviously never worked in a large scale IT department.
You silly people. This was done long ago. If you like the idea so much, jump in and help them out. It is actually a very nice wm.

Hmmm . . . . You are so terribly busy, yet you still have time to actually read the comments on Slashdot.
But still causes the same congestion that CR did.
if you've not been totally asleep all year then you'll remember that January - March were full of Ramen, 1i0n and adore worms for linux.
Redhat you mean.
You missed the point that because they own so many stations, some people don't have that option.
But doesn't Word preload when the OS starts?
Pop up the task manager after a fresh boot, and I'll bet you that it is running.

Those damn criminals. Better sue their asses.
Kind of interesting that you choose to call him on this, considering what your sig says . . .

Run WinApache [apache.org] and get 404s (broken images or "Not Found" in an iframe) instead of "conn refused" popups.
Why even bother with that?
Right click on the offending ad and select "Block images from this server"
Whoopty, no more doubleclick.
I would have to say you've got some issues.
