To get the initial load time of the app down to that of IE on Windows, they'd have to load most of it at startup and leave it in memory at all times.
I believe this feature has been discussed for Windows, but I don't think anything ever happened with it.
I don't see too much difference in rendering speed between IE 5.5 and the last build I tried (which is actually kind of old).
I wish I could file patents on technologies that will inevitably surface so I can wait till someone succeeds in that field so I can get massive royalties. Unfortunately, RAMBUS, Amazon.com, and NCR have scarfed them all up.
"The personal terminal is credit-card sized, is intelligent, includes a plurality of transaction totals and is constructed to be user-friendly."
Hmmm, sounds like a small portable computer with transaction applications on it. Sounds like a pretty obvious evolution of portable computers into smaller devices.
Oh, look! The US economy is faultering! Let's see if we can wreck some big tech companies and put the US into a depression!
The show says that they sent the astronauts up into orbit in a real rocket and just showed some previously recorded footage while they were orbitting the Earth (no doubt flying by Soviet scientific satellites (!)).
He's talking about being able to see billing mistakes before paying. I doubt any intelligent company would send a bill to a collection agency, attempt to ruin your credit, or stop your service when there is any chance at all that they made a mistake on your bill and you can prove it. My long distance phone carrier got changed somehow to my local phone company without permission and I got billed a helluva lot more for those calls then with my regular carrier. Called long distance carrier, told them about it, got switched, told my local carrier who evidently had the change made themselves (illegal), and didn't pay for those long distance calls. Did they try to collect what they said I owed them? Hell no.
Using your groin as a heatsink is not recommended:P
I wouldn't be too excited about having one of these things blasting my groin with radiation either.
The funniest thing about the athletic ones is that sometimes they will mess with a kid that is actually bigger than they are and think that the kid isn't going to respond violently! You should see them run like hell! It's also really cool when the kid latches ahold of their throat and proceeds to throttle the bastards! Yes, I'm talking about myself when I was in elementary school.
Maybe Congress should pass a bill invalidating these stupid ass patents. These ones that they leave lay around for years and finally "discover" them should definately be killed off. The Rambus patent should be killed too since they participated in a standards making body to gurantee targets for its patent later.
You might think that a dual 1GHz Tbird system would be way too fast, but I seem to recall that some said that a 500MHz CPU was way to fast when they first came. Now we got the 1GHz and they want to go faster. Going SMP 1GHz is a way for people who have some extra cash but don't want to try to overclock their CPU to get increased performance. I figure once we hit the speed barrier with current technology, they'll have to find ways to make CPUs cheaper and just ship all PCs with 2 or 4 CPUs.

Escpecially after id Software releases their next game. Cards that kick ass in Q3A will suck dick in Doom 3, no doubt.
The release that was intended to be 5.0 (MozillaClassic) was scrapped and they started from scratch. Whatever page you read must have been written by someone in Netscape/AOL's marketing department who doesn't know what they are talking about.
My copy of MS Word 2000 turned 34.6KB of plain text into a 108KB file. I guess that isn't as bad as a ~7KB file turning into a 100KB file, but it's still kind of weird. My 108KB file can be compressed to 12KB, so that ain't bad.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25707 Seems the bug has been marked as "future". It also only has 2 votes. One of them is from me. It seems that it "isn't critical for Netscape 6". Well, I guess Mozilla IS Netscape after all.
I agree that you shouldn't have to "unfix" anything. I'll see if I can bring this to the attention of the rest of the Mozilla community rather than just a couple of the engineers that want to cover the whole thing up:)

What do you expect from a bunch of mindless drones?

I believe that the US Supreme Court has ruled before that the Bill of Rights does not apply to high school students.

I believe they produce melanin for the pigmentation of the eye.
Who's ever going to need to run more than one application at a time?

My IE almost never crashes. It just freezes up on this one forum I frequent and nothing else.
Educated? ROFLMAO!!! "Gee, I wonder why Al Gore's arrow is pointing to the third hole and not the second. Oh well, I'll punch the second."

Running a lot of stuff and trying to push it to do more when it's low on resources is not a good idea :)

Since when did they claim it was bug-free?
Pokémon is child porn?
I don't even think MS is allowed to do anything with advancing their JVM because Sun's lawsuit. I could be wrong though.
MS release a Linux version?! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Do you think the record companies would go after people who are trying to piss off Napster users?
