He said ORGANIZE an effort to fix it, not write it himself. It is the equivalent of someone not liking a political issue, someone suggesting he organize a political action comittee and you complaining that not everyone is a politician.
Mozilla is open access, everyone gets a shot, if you don't like something, get some people who know what they are doing and agree with you to change it.
I for one think that the latest nightlies fix most of the problems I had with the program. The skin looks good, the browser is faster, the toolbar is now down to the proper size, etc.
Mistakes were made in the past that are now being rectified. Admittedly there have probably been too many rewrites, but what can you do I think all that is finished now. There is just clean up and test
Everything is looking good - wait 4 1/2 months and you will have kiss ass browser. .
If you don't want to wait just use the nightlies - that's what I am writing this with;)
Mozilla has progressed very far over the past few weeks or so with many rewrites landing in the tree (image loading, cache re-write, new skin, new history etc.). The new skin, Modern 3, is much nicer than any proceeding it, reminding me of MSN Explorer in pleasing asthetics. The guys working on this have put in a hell of a lot of effort and time, I think we can all wait a little longer. I would hate to see them rush right at the end and prove all the naysayers right.
Anti-inflammatories are NOT pain killers, and that is not what I said. I said I took them for the pain, e.g. when the swelling went down the pain subsided, then I could excercise and regain my strength. Pills are not a panacea, but neither is chiropracty, the difference being one doesn't cost $100/hr three days a week for the rest of your life.
Excepting medical advice on a technology website is a dubious way to solve your problem.
Having said that, I have a little experience in this area so I will give my OWN experience.
I woke up one day with HORRIBLE lower backpain that got to the point that I would program standing up(!).
I am now active again and here is what I did:
1) Tossed the futon, bought a REAL bed.
2) Only use lumbar-suppourted chairs, bought an obus-forme for other chairs.
3) SAW A DOCTOR.
4) Took anti-inflamatories to deal with the pain and the doctor gave me an excercise regime to strengthen the area.
I am now pretty much 'cured'.
A couple of things I learned:
Doctors don't really know much about lower back pain, it is more art than science so you may have to try more than one anti-inflammatory before you hit pay dirt.
Nothing will probably show up on an X-Ray.
Your mother was right, posture is important.;)
When you screw up your back it is pretty much screwed for life so you have to be diligent with it.
I was watching Happy Gilmore the other day on network television and I noticed that a lot of the product placement ads were digitial REMOVED. For those of you who haven't seen this movie, it is very funny but the product placement goes WAY overboard. For instance TWO scenes take place at a Subway(TM) restaurant and Happy wears a Subway shirt for the last 40 mins of the movie. The weird thing was that the Subway logo was digitially greyed out (correct spelling - I am Canadian:) ) most of the time as were other ads. Technology is a double edged sword;), we just have to make sure that consumers don't get screwed out of their side of the sword by legislation.
Can we have at least a hint of grammar checking/correction for stories? I mean how hard could it be to do a cursory clean up of submissions?
For example the phrase "(and plenty of uses both front-and-center and behind-the-scenes later)" is damn near impenetrible. As for "How well it succeeds?", well that is best left alone.;)
When ABC airs a show about an open lesbian the Christian coalition goes after the advertisers like rabid dogs. When a art display in new york shows a feces strewn Virgin Mary Catholics are up in arms. However, when a show airs about alien abduction, fake moon landings etc. the response from the tech community is defening silence. Why are there no social action committees for science? We have the power, we have the knowledge, where are our representatives?
Surely they would have heard of XBox long ago -- surely they would have been able to contact MS and say "er, no, we have that name" much earlier,
It's up to Microsoft to do the search, not the company that owns the trademark to notify them. The only thing that could happen to XBox Technologies for not doing anything is that the name could be lost to the general public because they didn't attempt to protect it (e.g. Aspirin). Interestingly this would mean than that ANY company could call their product an XBox.;)
>! It is not "stealing TV". When you steal something, the person that you stole it from no longer possesses it. An example of stealing TV would be smashing a shop window, grabbing a television set under your arm, and running. This is by no means the same thing.
That is not actually correct. When you lessen the value of something you are likewise stealing. DirecTV is in the business of satellite broadcast television, they hope to make money from this venture. If people begin to acquire their service without paying, they are reducing the value of the service. We are a consumer based society, and while I will scream about corporate abuse as much as anyone, in this instance we have to protect the rights of the company, since to do otherwise would be tantamount to telling DirecTV to get out of business.
>though, sales will halt once the current inventory is gone. Sure sounds like quitting to me.
It just means they are quitting making the DREAMCAST. I think they are reserving the right to continue to make their extensive collection of arcade games, accessories and possibly future projects.;)
It seems to me that their system screwed up, so they no longer know the correct state of a few fields, so they set them back to the defaults. Sure that might be annoying but they also offer for him to set them back himself:
However, we want you to choose your Notification Preferences rather than rely on our standard defaults and will therefore not include you in any communications until 1/23/01. This will provide you with some time to evaluate these choices and modify your Notification Preferences.
Why doesn't he just go in and set them back? Is it really that big of a deal?

The purpose is to strike a balance between the rights of the creator and the rights of society as a whole. One could argue that over the past 50 years the balance has been tipped to the creator as more and more corporations enter into the content realm. I think what should happen is that works should pass into the public domain after 30 years from creation. Since the US and Canada have both signed international agreements that set expiry at the author's lifetime + 50 years (at the minimum) I wouldn't hold my breath.

Okay so let me get this straight:
:(
1) I can't buy a volume license for Windows 95.
2) I can't get a CD of the OS I paid for from an OEM.
3) I can't get my money back from an OEM for the OS I paid for.
4) I can't buy a 'naked' PC from MS approved OEM's (not yet - they are just recommending it - to avoid 'liability')
Take the above and add.
5) I can't access a copy prevented HD with Linux (violation of DCMA).
6) I can't complain about any of this (violation of UCITA).

Too bad you can't take advantage of the MP unless you are running OS X which doesn't come out until March. ;)

Every Mac analyst I know recommends a faster single processor over a dual system because:
a)virtually NO applications take advantage of the second processor
b) and the OS hardly does either.
