Good ole mozilla? have they gotten rid of offensive icons and imagery yet? I personally refuse to contribute to it until they take that crap out. It's unfortunate that they would continute to use such blatantly divisive imagery. Good thing for Konqueror and Safari or I would be stuck with the IE crap. Interestingly enough, the newst update to Safari (from OS X 10.3.3) eliminates all of the minor problems i've had with DHTML on some sites. Given how much faster and leaner KHTML based browsers are, I don't think I will ever need to use a gecko browser again. I think it is high time someone came out with a native KHTML browser for Windows (like safari) , it would give Mozilla a run for its money!
actually, IE will see a major revision when MS relaeases SP2 for XP in a few months. You can do a quick search and see screenshots of it. It uses a new brusged metal theme and has popup blocking and a download manager built in. In addition, it is supposed to incoporate a lot of the corrections made since MS's security audit (this is a rumor BTW).
Overall, eventhough it looks liks a knock off of Safari,I am interested in seeing what changes MS made
You havent been around on the net for a very long time have you? I remember about 8 years ago or so when yahoo reigned supreme. It was huge portal second behing only AOL. Things were great. Everyone went to Yahoo to perform searches.. heck, "do you yahoo?" was something i heard all the time.
Where is yahoo now?
in addition the old TCP did die off, heck even TCP Tahoe died off. Long live Reno! too bad TCP vegas gets is ass kicked by Reno. Vegas would be a great improvement only if Everyone used it.
add one to the list

sure would like to see you dead though.
You and i both know there are going to be more attacks in the US and Europe and other allied countries. its people like you that just feed terrorists. feeding terrorists my friend is much like feeding trolls except in the case of terrorists, the more you ignore them the more they attack. if you cave in to their demands you embolden them and they attack more.
Guess what someone with a dispute is going to do next time they have a disagreement with something the Spanish Gov did? they arent going to march in the streets, they're going to plant bombs becasue that produces the quickest results.
hmm a coherent balanced reply. Well, since you arent an AC, i wont troll. The fact is, and this is hard to deny, europe today is extremely dependent on the US for its security. At the same time it appears to many other people ( i am not a american BTW, look at my email address username) that europeans live a life a luxury, dont spend much on their own defense then bitch and moan about when someone else does something in their own defense. miliarliy speaking, europe still cant protect itself from itself yet. A great example is the wars in the former Yugoslavia. Instead of letting it fester for so long then having the Americans come in once again the rich western european countries shoud lhave done something. I think it is high time europe handled its own defense. I think the disparity in opionion between the US and the EU is largely a result of many nations in the EU (Germany for example) adopting nearly a pacifist stand. Pacifism while a nice idea, will get you killed pretty quickly. The only reason these countries werent run over is becasue of US militray might
You may argue that Europeans have a better sense of geography, i dont know how i could counteror verify that claim, but lets assume you are right. Europeans have also not had to really fight a war in a while. Major wars like the Cold War have been taken care of by the US. Simply put, the US does alot of the dirty work for its european 'allies' . Europe is free to imagine a world of peace and love and adopt policies like that. Nothing will happen to it as long as the US protects it. The minute the US stops Europe wont be able to survive with out changing. I think it is silly to assume that if you just leave bad people alone or do what they demand, that they will leave you alone. It didnt work with the Nazis, not with communism and sure as hell wont work now
looking at the username you use to post it is not hard to tell you are european. Hey at least i can post what i think with my real name and not hide behind AC. Lets see you do that mr. pansy ass european. I think the Anonymous Coward name suits you well.
europeans have slaughtered themselved for alomst one hundred years now. They are stupid kids that live in a fantasy world protected by the US. Look at the masscares in the former yugoslavia if you want an example of european stupidity. they dont like the fact that they are weak.
you and i both know what europe would be like if it werent for the US. dont bite the hand that feeds you little dog.
right now i really would like to see more attacks on Europe. 200 dead and they still havent gotten it. I crossing my fingers hoping France gets hot next.
are you delusional? do you really think that they would have ignoerd alll the crackdown on al-queda if you didnt support the war? heck even france has been listed as a target im sure they can just as easily pull their troops out and remove the threat right? if you say france is a target becasue of the headscarf issue, are you trying to say that france should undo it? are you saying democracies should undo policies al-queda dislikes. There a word for that..im sure you know it.
Thank you spain for creating the most successful terrorsit attack in recent memory. Al queda said: get out of iraq and dont cooperate with the US and you did exactly that quite promptly too. We can expect more attacks before elections becasue of you.
EU showing spine, now theres an oxymoron. Given the anti-american semtiment in europe, how long before this becomes a diplomatic matter? i can just see it, EU tries to criple large successful amerrican company.
now that mozilla phoe..firebi.. firefox is no longer free i think it is time we considered some alternative browsers that are free and open source. I think we should drop Mozilla and just use konqueror/ safari:)
this raises the issue of quality vs quantity, what kind of microbes are we talking about in the toilet and what kind on the desktop. Im sure the human body is crawling with microbes. that does not necessarily make it a bad thing.
"Can I get them to compile asm to java bytecode next?"
Not as funny as you think. It would be a truly awesome program that can do that. Why? take MS office, disassemble make it java byte code then run it on the platform and OS of your choice. dont see anything like that happening for a while, but it certainly is not funny.
remember that, it was one of the coolest Showes ever until one of the seasons then went to shit.. anyone know where you can get episodes of it... kinda like a mymacgyver.tk for airwolf
hey you want to know what the funny thing was. Anyone familair with 80's and early 90's video game systems would know exactly what i was talking about. The intention of the post was to be modded FUNNY not interesting. The post is a load of BS, its supposed to be funny. Someone mod it down or make it funny. the 2 128 bit system was a reference to SNK neo geo which claimed to be 32 bit because it had 2 16 bit processors....
no, the hardware was worth $800 a computer is more than just hardware. I not am talking about fixing all the software so it works (even if that is part of it), but about not losing family pictures, movies, mp3s, valuable documents etc. Most people consider data worth more than the hardware and in many cases (eps with companies) the data is worth A LOT more than the hardware. One firm now of spent thousands try to recover data from a worm infected machine.

*BSD is dying
Apple is dying
now FACT:Tivo is dying
AIM and ICQ use the same protocol many implementations (gaim for example) allow you to communicate accross networks.
sure would like to see you dead though.

you brave little european, still posting as an AC i see. you are french arent you?

i think it has more to do with europeans being cowardly and jealous

are in the EU, how long before a surrender?
then they quickly surrendered and accepted all the demands of the terrorists. thats a lot of backbone.
EU showing spine, now theres an oxymoron. Given the anti-american semtiment in europe, how long before this becomes a diplomatic matter? i can just see it, EU tries to criple large successful amerrican company.
now that mozilla phoe..firebi.. firefox is no longer free i think it is time we considered some alternative browsers that are free and open source. I think we should drop Mozilla and just use konqueror/ safari :)
or you can just get a mac and be happy with open firmware :)
