I use firefox and the Stylish Extension. Now I can write my own overriding CSS Here I only see the center alley. No problems with overpowering side bars.
You know this could be the end of life as we know it.
If this is "extraterrestrial bacteria adapted to the harsh conditions of space", in time we could be replaced.
"We will encourage you to develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris". -- Larry Wall,
Programming PERL
Its not clear that Michael and Larry are using the same definition of lazy. Larry is clearly talking about the
fact that better automation results is less effort.
As for other comments about languages where the coder
does not even put in the "{}"s... well go figure.
As for handheld scaners, I put tiny tcl http://tinytcl.sourceforge.net/ on mine.
I am sure calling ndbm would be easy.
execpt the handheld was a DOS_5.
I don't have the time to go find all the junk
like 'C' compilers for that. The next version
of the scanned will run Linux and all will be well.
Right now there are no broadband providers
that go to my house even thow I live in a
metropolitan area. Only 3 miles from a
verizon city switch and only 1000 feet from
the TV cable data pipe.
if a small fee is required to reduce
latency, so be it.
In the previous article article
Sun was asking for help "... how to best... prevent forking and fragmentation".
It seems They are afraid some one will provide better support
for java then Sun. Perhaps the worst possibility is that Micro$oft
will provide that support.:p
System/Network Admins need to learn Automate Monitoring.
If you can't perhaps you need to get new hardware.
I have seen some losage hardware where you can't
do much of anything with out a web page or a GUI.
It's web page's and a GUI's that make the job look
easy, but imposable to automate. Its that sort of
bad imbeded OS's that take man hours from our real
day to day jobs. Thus the need to find cheap labor.
Come on we are talking about computers here.
I keep telling people admins, here at work, that if you
can't automate your not dooing your job.
When my systems are not working and simple
remote corections don't work I get an e-mail.
Then I fix it or call the hardware repair man.
the result is more time for rogue. Oh, ok
more time for real job. Now that I no longer
need to monitor my hardware.
Apple Computer asked the FCC for just that kind of radio space back in 1994. AT&T and others lobby it away.
So now we only have Telco/CableCo friendly Wifi.
I am sure your facts about the FCC's limitations are correct.
But I said its the FCC that's keeps WiFi broken.
There is a lot more spectrum out there.
Like you said
you need something like WiMax (IEEE 802.16), along with IEEE 802.22 (Wireless Region Area Networks) to serve as an edge-access backbone...
So after all, we are on the same page.
We just have different definitions of WiFi.
My definition is what we should have.
Not what Telco lobbied FCC tells us we want.
Packet radio can go over long distances.
One spec I heard was 10 to 15 kilometers.
With all the bandwidth needs of a Large City.
DSL can't go that far and support comparable
data rates on a single drop.
The packet is the truck.
On the Internet the gas is part of the Highway.
Who payed for the Highway, mostly our taxes pay for that.
So on the Net it only makes sense that the government
pay for packet movement. Why? you say.
It was pointed out that in the case of shipping we have
capitalism. UPS is not the only option. I can even go pick it up my self. As for the Net the IPS's for the most point are Monopolies.
They are the ones given the right of way to put the line in our yards.
So I can't go out and put down my own lines
and connect them up to a hub, say at phone pole.
Now when the Monopolies start to limit access to
services based on there interests and not ours
we get a monarchism. Where The ISP is king.
And the only services you can get are from the King.
Don't confuse the above this with capitalism.
You only capitalism on a level playing field.
We need federal and local data nets and WiFi
for local connections. Let the Telco's and
the rest compete for our $'s to see content
like TV and MOORPG's and the like.
Oh you want deregulated.
Then you should only be allowed
to provide local to end point transmission.
See the power Co. deregulation.
where anyone is alowed to put power on the
grid and are payed for it.
End users can select who they want to pay
for power.
The Telco's are confused, there
monopoly status makes them a public service and thus should be run as a nonprofit corporation.
Back bone lines should be provided in the same way out highways are provided.
Many of the main backbones run along the highways.
We pay enouph taxes, lets stop paying taxes to
people that do not work for us.
Monopoly Transmission and End point service need to be kept apart.
Or better yet be replaced by community-, municipality-, Google- And other- based WiFi networks.
So far The FCC has been in bed with the Telco's... this has to stop.
I am so looking forward to tha day when Google or some other champion steps up and offers all of us free WiFi. I would pay a free WiFi provider for broadband long before I would pay a monoply. I would even offer land use for the tower in turn for services.
BTW, I hear WiFi works better then DSL, its the FCC thats keeps WiFi broken.
1) I Do not like tab browing. I like to click the middle button to open a link in a new window. I do not like to right click and pull down. Ya, its a little thing, but I have grown to like that.
Yes I gave the tab-killer a try. If the "target=*" is set on the link that breaks too. I was trying to cope with that, but #2 was a firefox v1.5 killer, and I was forced to return to version 0.7.
2) The EMACS key bindings on a textarea are gone. If I am typing in a text area I was a few control keys to work like emacs (F B P N D A E). Where are the rebind keys preferences? The functionality can't be all that hard to keep in the code.
And Yes I tryed
the external editor extension, but it locks
up all the firefox windows. And I need firefox while I am editing for spell checking and fact checking, so that no good.

Remember all of those European scientists came to the U.S. before/during WWII?
Many of the European scientists at that time where Jewish. I would be hard pressed to leave my happy home. On the other hand
if someone was committing genocide... so long... I am out of here.
IMHO, the U.S is on the fast track to being a third rate country. Like it or not.
As for CS, we need to switch from the feudalism of the desktops most of us use to open source solutions, where people can actually innovate.
PS. I not particularly a religious person. I am from the U.S. and I am a C.S.
You cannot take the source code required to build Unix on a PC and use it to build Unix on a Macintosh
Sure, that's hardware, I am a software engineer. Agreed people have to do work
to port to a new hardware. But You can rewrite
libc on a Berkeley to look exactly like a system 5 libc and if done right run large
packages written for system 5 on the BSD system.
My unstated point was Linux runs faster on
the same hardware as MSwindows. And
the point of the original posted article
was MSwindows legacy support mades it slow.
Linux originally based on Sun's libc
manuals is a portable target architecture.
It's MS's no source architecture that is slow.
not its legacy support.
Compare that to the source code based architecture of UN*X systems. UN*X is
fast and runs programs from before the
first line of UN*X code was written.
The way to make no source architecture
faster is to change to a new system.
Right now Apple is the best known main
stream no source architecture. But
perhaps its time for basic architectural
change.
Its portability on the source code
level that
allows UN*X to run on so many platforms.
I posted a valid question and was
Moderation -1

Hello, McFly, I am the only one asking,
and no valid answer yet exists.
So one more try.
Can Firefox 2.0 have middle click to open a new window?
I use firefox 0.8 since every time I down load a new version it seems to only open new tab screens. I hate Tabs. And I don't want to left click and pull down.
I got two answers, one said use the right menu. wrong answer.
the other said use the menu tools:options
well that was moved to edit:pref...
in pre 1.0 versions. no help yet.
Then I was moded down, like some old trash.
Don't mod me down, I realy want an
answer.... or I guess firefox is
become a wast.... "move along nothing to see here.
The other wast are people miss using there
mod points. asking questions, perhaps questions other might ask, is a valid
way to/.

IF the EU want to make Open source solutions

Once the people get angry, I'm sure the officials would change their minds real quick.
People should not get angry, just stop being
so simply, when there are alternatives.
And don't forget IBM is all ready there to
support the change. Check it out

Now I can write my own overriding CSS
Here I only see the center alley.
No problems with overpowering side bars.
Change your CSS to your taste, here's mine.
Lets assume Ask has few sponsors, so rather then put "your add goes here", or some Lorem ipsum .
Ask has harmlessly copyed some of googles linkes.
Well, its posable.
Or perhaps not.
Its not clear that Michael and Larry are using the same definition of lazy. Larry is clearly talking about the fact that better automation results is less effort.
As for other comments about languages where the coder does not even put in the "{}"s... well go figure.
Just yet another Government imposed setback. Its things like this that lets the rest of the world simply pass us by.
That is mostly what BerkeleyDB is.

One thing to look at is CGI::Ajax. Also the home page.
At least I can do testing and some other nice things without coding javascript.

Yes, ok, I got good answers this time around. But I don't see why asking questions here should get dumped into the bit-bucket(level 0).
So should I report this as abuse?
what do you think?
And a BIG Thank-You to the nice people that helped me.
I should have ended my last post with aTdHvAaNnKcSe.
IMHO Firefox has become to much a PC program.
Why?
1) I Do not like tab browing. I like to click the middle button to open a link in a new window. I do not like to right click and pull down. Ya, its a little thing, but I have grown to like that.
