I have found mozilla to be more stable then nutscrape 4.#, but in recient builds say version 15.5 and up there i have been having quite a few problems with it.
They seem to have made quite a few changes to xlu and the editor, and have enabled proxies for ssl if they can sort this out for version 17 then i'll start using it as my main browser again.
even in it's current state(as long as you don't do too much shopping and ssl stuff) it's far better than intranet exploder and beets nutscrape by miles in terms on functionality.
anyone who says it's dead must be using IE(though opra is quite cool) and deserve a quick attach of open frame in new window, and frequent prompting that although they have set up there settings you can still shell out and register with msn.
there are also a lot of take off projects using the mozilla engine(though i can't think of any at the moment) and if you don't like the bloat then remove it and recompile.
a few days ago BT, the largest telecoms opperator here in the UK got taken down by a dos attack, the attacker claimed the reason for his actions was because BT cut the connetion to his cable modem once a night.
Though i havn't tried it personaly Redhat do a very good Oracle tailored distribution,it gives Oracle it own partiton and is setup for performance &co. The support is ment to be quite good as well.
I have worked with quite a few DB systems (M$ sqeeel, Sybase, intrabase, as well as the less server based db's postgres, paradox, access &co , and have an Oracle training course comming up soon, it has lots of info on Oracle for linux, but as i havn't been on it yet I can't go into any details.(but this is another story?)
I believe Oracle will also run on other unix platforms, and may have support from other linux distribs other than redhat.
UI should be lightweight, hell who wants a long wait for a command you entered to be acknowledged.
funny animated effects hiding your menu items, one button mice, transparency , stupid noises and "shit head" the paper click. possibly the worst UI you could create(short of the S.I.R.D UI that Cray were working on)
point and click, simple boxes with a bit of text and maybe a few modeless popup fine,
just hot keys even better,
command line, do exactly what you tell it to when you tell it, hell now were talking UI.
hell ain't we going backwards here,
right the ultimate UI,
two pieces of bread, some butter and a toaster. And you can even smell it.
I wrote a little virus thingy some time ago(a well behaved one), as a signed activeX controle, the plan was(or wasn't) to seek out and infect web-servers with the virus and propergate it through IE and outlook, excel,word and access are also fun to create viruses for espicially the mutating encripting kind.
Seems like they've just realised this could be a problem. netscape, linux and a box of hankies to cry for those poor m$ bunnies that's what you need.
if windows is a way of life id like to through my life away.
Linux is defiantly on the up at the moment, Corel soon to release some decent gfx apps, lots of games coming, good support from DB2,Oracle @co.. it seems the 'real' world is looking at Linux as being more than a toy for geeks and a cheep web platform. if only someone would write a good dtp for Linux (I feel a source forge attack coming on). the only bad news in the article is that it used that 'RED HAT' phrase again..
Three times in one day, is it national censors day in some strange country far away and everyone wants to get in on the act?.
what's more all three cases are completely unenforceable, I can't see them being able to stop people linking to drug related sites, or sites that link to drug related sites etc...... , I'm sure I've got a few games I didn't pay for lurking about somewhere and no one checked my age when I got them, and now they try to ban someone from ebay because they didn't use 'appropriate' language. I think word Ban should be classified as obscene, (unless it comes before Microsoft).
i've often thought about gpling myself, that way the gene thieves couldn't paintent bits of me, organ donation would be a lot more fun, as would having kids..
I downloaded Crystal Space about an hour ago, and have been playing with allegro for some years.
Though both of these are fairly good GFX engines I have yet to see good integration with games engines, and porting between the to would be a nightmare.
If interfaces between GFX engines (Crystal Space does support plugins), AI,rules and scripting languages were standardised, open source game development could be onto a real winner.

is this a hoax though?

I'm English and I hate those French watery measurements and i wasn't even born in 1971. (so much for the metric conversion).
I like miles, pints, ounces, grains, yards, hectares, shillings, bars,
and one for those Dan Americans the Gallon.
