No, the Moz in IE (and many others) is to try to get round the evil stupid twats that think restricting web content using browser sniffing is a "good thing".
Netscape has always(1) used the term "Mozilla" internally for its browser. Back in the Netscape 3/4 vs MSIE 3/4 days, Netscape was winning the browser war, and the aformentioned evil stupid twats that think restricting web content using browser sniffing is a "good thing" was restricting access to Netscape only. MSIE put the Mozilla (Compatabile;...) (in direct violation of an RFC, but hey) to get round the evil twats that should be kicked lots, then sold into slavery on eBay.
). A Java app written by a Windows developer would probably look like a Windows app, even on a Mac, and the other way around.
This depends on the developer, not the langage. I good developer (using either Java, or C/C++ and a xp windowing toolkit) will have an app tweaked to look right on each platform targeted. A crap developer will not.
I know (and post as such to his post later), I was just being a prick and pointing out that developing none-open apps on GNU/Linux is all fine and dandy, but developing apps with [Insert GPLed Lib] is not.
Second, allowing Free Java developers to participate in the JCP would be nice. My understanding is that there are still legal barriers making this inadvisable I'm intrested by what you mean by this. I thought the rules were changed once Sun released that Apache were excluded?
I think you can get three Open Source JVMs (GCJ, Kaffe, some.NET thingie that makes Java classes look like.NET classes). The only really problems are the lack of free TCK for free implementations (letting GCJ actually releasing something called "Java"), and the masive undertaking that reimplementing the JFC is.
At a guess the people who developed the GPLed software dont want you to use it, unless you are willing to give you changes back to the world.
Your (or your company) are not, so why should any GPL'ed developer care if you can or can not use it. If they did care it would be released under LGPL/MIT/BSD/Apache/...

Bah, I was using voice operated computers in the 1960s.

Writen well, a site should degrade nicely (so the content is still readable, even if the scripted side does not work).
This is NOT hard, esp if you restrict the the dynamic side to mostly CSS, XHTML and W3C DOM compilent (i.e. MSIE, Moz, Opera and Kon).
True, much smiting is still required.

If it dont have an RFC, it dont exist!
Its more powerfull than some of the old 8bits.
Cool, Rogue on paper, ohh wait thats AD&D.
None, will leave at a moments notice.
Emply me, please.

That should of been a z. Sorry.

The GPL has exceptions for Linux & GCC which make it much more like LGPL.

Not if you can read the number. Just jot it down, and claim your prize.
Alas quite some time.
Most users don't know the webbrowser from a pornagraphic image. And they are the target group for most viruses/spyware and other junk.
Maybe oneday this will change.
