My experience doesn't agree with yours. I use Mozilla regularly on the following machines:
Linux @ 750MHz Athlon - Runs great, nice and quick
HPUX @ 440MHz PA-RISC - Runs great, not sluggish, but not snappy
HPUX @ 300 MHz PA-RISC - Runs a little slow, but is pretty good after first loading.
OS X @ 500MHz MAC - Runs about as fast as OS X seems to run, could be faster all around.
Win2k @ 800MHz Intel - Runs great, nice and quick.
I don't see why it runs so slow on your solaris machine? I have run it on Solaris briefly a while ago and it seemed pretty decent. On Linux I think it runs great. I guess it depends on what you think a fast machine is?
If you are printing things out at 20x30", you are likely printing on a designjet or similar printer. Your 35mm pictures are probably of better wuality (or could be) but you are limited by the resolution of the printer. It's hard to say, because you didn't mention how you were getting your prints so I am just guessing.
Lets see, the US has a mild terrorist? attach, some buildings collapsed because they where build on the cheap.
Are you serious in thinking that we should build our building strong enough to protect them from jetliners being flown into them? Terrorism really has affected you, my friend.
No, Iraq hasn't. But have you forgotten what Saddam is capable of? Do you remember what he did to spur our response a few years ago? He hasn't let weapons inspectors in, and is hiding things. Iraq in the near future will be the supermarket for terrorism.
I think it changes quite a bit. The U.S. has taken the responsibility as the world's only super power to *DO* something about the problem. Other countries will follow, but it took a leader to get things started.
You forget that the only sure "proof" of Saddam building/having weapons of mass destruction is USING those weapons. With Iraq's track record, they are not trustworthy.
I would rather get rid of him now than wait 5 years when a missile is in the air and we all say, "damn, I guess he really did have a nuke."
I agree with you that there is no subsitute for a strong backup system, and offsite backups are necessary.
I just wanted to inform people that didn't know that many modern storage arrays can take snapshots, business copies, or whatever you want to call it of the data. It is a good solution when someone deletes a file or something, because it is easy to get to. You can use these snapshots as kind of an intermediate backup that is nice and quick.
This does not do away with the need for backups, though, it can just make some common backup/restore tasks easier and faster. The parent poster is still correct, though - because files can and do become corrupt, and as long as there are users, important files will be deleted on accident.
HP doesn't make the paper, they just buy it from another manufacturer and put their name on the label. A lot of companies do this. And no, HP printers can not tell if it is HP paper.
"Bagged", in the instance used in the parent post to which you replied, means "got rid of". The troll meant "since they got rid of Bruce Perens". You didn't catch the altered meaning, so now you know.

Your points are good ones. Why should I remember the chipset in my video card when the OS can do it for me?
Debian *had* a good installer with Progeny. I don't know why it got canned, but I thought they (Debian) were going to use the Progeny installer?
I don't follow Debian closely, so someone correct me if I am wrong.
Our you could just secure your system(s). There are better ways to protect yourself than this. This is just obscurity. It is like trying to avoid sexually transmitted diseases by dressing as a transvestite. Sure, it may work, but there are much better solutions.
I know what your point was, but can we stop using this bastardized quote? Everybody and their dog has heard it, and there are more articulate ways of expressing your point. I swear I see it in about 50% of every slashdot article.
For all the people that didn't get this, it is from an episode of South Park where an alien race visits south park from the planet marklar. And they speak marklar.
Having my fiance owning an Escort, and having driven it, I commend you on your accurate description. I have never driven such a small car that felt like driving barge.
I hope this new marklar really works on marklar marklar. Marklar seems to be the marklar of the marklar, not just another markler off the old marklar. Marklar really does need to marklar another marklar maker in order to be marklar with the marklar. Marklar is just not marlar anymore, and this seems to be a good marklar to the marklar. A small marklar to marklar, really.
Speaking of HP printers and wireless, I know that they have 802.11 out and bluetooth is eather coming or will be out soon. It will be an add-on EIO card I am assuming. Should be sweet for laptop people on da go.

Good information, but it should be able to be switched without editing a text file for all those IE-heads out there who want to support Mozilla.
So you can help support open source?

I am only 22 and I know what that does. Does that make me old?
During the Gulf War, Iraq had chemical weapons. Did they use them? No...
Uhh, yes they did...
Read this document. The US had its own crummy reasons for saying Iraq didn't use those weapons. Both acts are horrible.
Are you kidding me?

And I don't like Saudi Arabia either.
Yeah, I was just talking at the problem presented by the parent poster.

That's true, but many liberals are using security as a camoflauge to reduce out liberties. A selfish and heinous crime indeed.

This sucks that Java has died. I just finished up my first week of a Java programming course. And, now, I find out that I am learning a dead language?
When will it end?
