Finally this version seems to add some kind of Unicode support for HTTP requests. Lack of this before has been very strange, cause i18n has always been built in Java.
Java as first programming language isn't a good idea. First of all it's OO, which confuses most newbies. Java is definitely a high level language. No control to memory, many common data structures already implemented, and those are the basics of programming - even with Java. I've done a lot Java in last two years, and it's extremely easy to make unefficient code. When coding with Java you have to think all the time how this is done in the low level which is hidden by Java API. This is what you don't understand by just coding Java. As an OO teaching language Java is ok. I had coded a lot of C before learning Java, and it was really easy to move to C++ after that. Too often you see C++ done by former C coders who can't use all benefits of OO.
Before a company like Loki can succeed, I think that there needs to be:
1. A larger Linux userbase.
2. Simultaneous releases across platforms.
3. An easier way for Windows users to switch to the Linux version, than trying to return their Windows version of the game and get their money back.
The moment Linux games have more FPS than Windows ones these things will be just a matter of time.
I really hate that 'show attachments inline' feature. With Netscape you could turn that off. Mail part still has many attachment related bugs, and my Mozilla 9.2 has already crashed few times when reading forwarded mails with attachments.
I have found few good services(buying movie tickets, bank services), and also used them. Just wanted to say that WAP isn't slow, it's GSM which is used as bearer for WAP at least where I live. When GPRS comes things will change, but at that point WAP might be too limited for all new services...
Object oriented language shouldn't be the first one to teach. OO thinking is quite hard to learn if we for example compare to functional. C is better choise, and some knowledge of C is really handy when learnig Java. With Java you can make some REALLY slow code, and knowing some lower lever programming language helps you to avoid these traps. Worst thing in C is that many students have made some software with that before entering course, so people participating are in inequal position. Noticed that there were quite many comments here about Scheme. It's syntax is amazingly simple, and it for example hasn't got any loop commands, so everything has to be implemented by yourself. Iteration, recursion and also streams really come very familiar to you, and it even has some OO like things(noticed this later - hell, didn't even know what OO ment when I took the course). With Scheme you can do some amazing stuff that wouldn't be possible with C and Java. People that hadn't done any code before the course were hacking Scheme interpreter which was made using... Scheme!
With mod_ssl you can set up a HTTP server using SSL to encrypt data. SHTTP is another protocol that can only be used with HTTP. SSL otherwise is used with many protocols to give security. (IMAP, HTTP, STUNNEL for forwarding...)
Finally some correct information in this thread. ICMP is part of IP protocol, and type of ICMP message is defined in IP packet headers. Used port is defined in UDP or TCP, and ICMP packet doesn't contain this type of data. ICMP echo just contains some random data which is sent back to sender. That's where the name echo comes from.

It's got to be!
Fuck it! I even went to that one...
Nope. Every time I see a link that looks interesting, it leads me to site where this guy is bending over with his ass wide open!
I used Mozilla on Windows(NT) when it was around 0.9. These latest releases have been so unstable, that I've given up.

Now that there is a link for mirrors site, no one can post that and get modded up to 5.

You'll have to be camel to drink that much coffee..
Linux just has to beat Windows as gaming platform, and tadaa... we'll have shit loads of new Linux users!
Actually sircam is made by desperate ISPs, cause they need more revenue. Poor modem users...
Uuuhh... Do you mean that you have to return your school work in doc format? I would switch school!
God damn!! Maybe I'm a bit slow this morning, but definitely woke up...

Is this the turbo thing? Preloads some code in memory like IE does...
The day Linux beats Windows as gaming environment (more fps ant things like that) will be the day when Linux starts to push itself to desktop.
No more those only search and download clients which don't share anything. Though with napster scaling is not a problem at the moment.

Hmmm... we have to pay about $20. Don't you guys complain :)

It's kind of boring that all posts saying MS isn't that bad begin like this.
If you read the FAQ, you might find some correct information.

Wish I could moderate this up!
