I suggest you check the following URL before saying Ep;as invented anything. By the way this fucking piece of ballocks affects every browser curently in use, as they all work the say way. in terms of using a tag to specify a applet.
No actually before going metric the people of the Uk used the imperial system and could do it with ease. Its called an education something you may want to try getting.
The problem is that the storage manufacturers.sell to the computers industry knowing that they use a different measurement. Now seeing as the comms industry does not but fucking harddrives, well not as many as the computer industry, and considering that the computer industry came up with the word in the first place, then shouldn't people using that measurment, used what is currently used by the cmputer industry?
The Harddrive manufactures changed to the base ten becuase they knew that thay could claim an 80GB drive with what used to be a 74 GB drive at best. They pocket the difference, if this had of happened with RAM chips you would have seen an uproar but becuase their size is so small you can't get away with that rubbish. All Ram is sold using Base 2 still.
The Japanese have the best system, they make sure that its damn hard to get a patent and you have to very sepecfic about it. None on this vague rubbish that they use now.
Have to disagree with you, running on windows is fine, its the first mozilla netscape release that I have ever had that was able to draw my compants intranet properly, the only one previsouly was Opera. How good is your Spec?
I checked the Memory usage, by chossing the same sites for both IE 5.0 and Mozilla M18, would you believe the IE was using 2MB more to view the same site. Note Bad for pre-release software. However they were both using 18MB and 16MB respectively. Thes sites were http://www.theregister.co.uk/ and http://www.slashdot.org/
I suppose this means that it will get better?
I dont know how it works in the US, but that does not apply in the UK, If you don't sign the NDA then you are not covered by it. I mean taking that example to the extreme what your saying is that if someone signs an NDA, and then works on a product that may be for some reason illegal, then they and anyone they try to send this information to will be stopped from talking about it.
I'll admit now that I'm no device driver expert, my main skill is applications. But I just wanted to ask how does knowing how to right a device driver for a product help with copying the hardware?. You can copy a hardware product without the need for the drivers, simply by cracking open the case of the chip and examine the design underneath. The point being that at the moment the only way for a hardware company to know that their design has been compied is to physically check the design of the competing product. Therefore releasing the specs for the interface for a hardware product can hardly be that damaging, remember that the competitor will still have to come up with a design that doesn't copy the original to a point where they can be sued.
Is it just me or has everyone forgotton that this is pre-release software of a completly new broswer. Yes it has porblems with crashes and bugs, but then so does every new piece of software. Give the sucker time to develope and grow. Christ do you all think that Apache was imediately stable, or Linux or Windows95( Sorry couldn't resist!:-) ) Remember in time if all goes well, we will have a stable standards compliant web browser which will run on nearly any platform you want, and it will be totally customisably. You may not want to use it full time now, so stick with Netscape 4.7 or IE5, just becuase you use them now doesn't mean that you will never use another broswer in the future, remember when everyone was using Mosaic?
Its been relased becuase we need competiton in the industry. If Microsoft is left with the only broswer in use then Microsoft will ditate what the standards are, this will mean in the long run that we will all be shafted. Also seeming as its still has some 40% of the Market its hardly died out has it?

Accept when you put in your brand new drive and find
that its reads 192GB formatted instead of 200GB, so
you can't download all your porn.
I take it you work for a harddrive manufacturer yes?
bollocks, they used a definition that made their drive look larger, it was not by accident.
The problem is that the storage manufacturers.sell to the computers industry knowing that they use a
different measurement. Now seeing as the comms
industry does not but fucking harddrives, well not as many as the computer industry, and considering
that the computer industry came up with the word in

Never have I read such complete and utter drivel in one post before, bravo well done fuckwit.
Lets stop pretending shall we, you are going to see it becuase you loved both of them, now shut up.
Just pull those figures out of your arse did you?
He's married you moron.
YUou find that annoying how about using Laid instead of Lay.
"I laid down in the bed"
should be
"I lay down in the bed"

The Patent also has to be non obvious.
May not be much use for the non windows boys but for windows crowd, no spyware fast and reliable.
