one clear competitive advantage in IE is the fact that plugins are auto installed.
grandmah is unable to install firefox and plugins, nor can my sister do it, or anybody else with mental lazyness.
Of course an embed tag in a flash page tells IE to download and start installing macromedias plugin. the problem is you need human interaction.
Maybe a backend p2p mechanism for firefox browsers to excheange ideas amongst themselves. They may automatically exchange plugins and plugin installation procedures. NO access to humans, only the ON/OFF switch.;)
The alternative to p2p is a simple wiki page in ai.firefox.mozilla.org written and read only by the browser in the back end, to exchange information about the whereabouts of a plugin, if it dissapears from original site backup from an installed copy and so forth.
The configuration could have a list of available plugins in which you may simply click on the ones you want.
At installation firefox may ask permission to start installing selected plugins off the net, no more plugin tracking all over.
When I find a page with material with no supporting plugin, my browser may update the mozilla page with stats about my visit, to inform the plugin developer of the current demand. Human may later use the information to ask for development support or convince provider to develop an os speciffic plugin.
And a configuraction to choose my custom (no plugin here, move on) line instead of opening useless external links woulf be kewl.
For language, it's amazing I can not get in touch with a translator to spanish to see if he needs help and at release date there was already a chinese version, hello?.
The p2p concept applies AND the wiki too. Us firefox users are enough to actually contribute to translation more easilly, a simple wiki with any previous language we choose on one side, and an form on the other side is enough to get users to contribute 1 word and your translations would be all perfected is the first twodays after release.
You may choose the translation speciffic to your region, ie mexican spanish or argentina spanish. Then see one language in one side and the other in the other side, a mexican may spot a word he does not undestand and type the new language.
As for language files, Id love to just tell mozilla to install a selected file, and it to ask me if I want that language to be default for usre interface and everything.
P2p would come handy to take load off mozillas site, and distribute the latest plugins and latest translations to all installed copies all over.
Most langs in the world could be supported vbery promptly if the mechanism is straight forward and in the propper lang when loaded for user interaction asking what country the user is to start translating.
Maybe even the browsers update files may be distributed in the same way! torrent.mozilla.org anyone? heh
For search, Id like to search bookmarks as well, one folder to contain most visited, another folder to contain most something else etc, bookmark organization could take some ai all over heh.
For search in a web page, Id like to see a search all tabs, all windows and tabs and windows. So the current dialog takes a few buttons to integrate nicely (not quite ai but nice)
For installation, the first screen on the install wizard have a button for (automatic installation), click on that and moz will install with all defaults and start mozila with no more clicks.
No reboot after install works wonders heh
Firefox is light, fast, safe, cute, no need to bloat it further.
As for user habits, how about enhancing the TAB button, ie for example CONTROL+TAB can activate and dissactivate the feature, and let firefox what links I click on in slashdot;)
It will learn toskip all link on the side, and go straight into the first article to let me press enter to go into the link:D
its very obvious, with less money youll be able to do almost anything in rusia because laws are so inmature and I bet law enforcement is even lower than in mexico;)
Its scary, the fact that you simply are in the USA, gives you a sense of fear from being sued for even breathing hehehee
USA is the new comunism, since everybody grabs you by the balls and you think you are in advantage when you grab some one elses balls and squeeze hehehe
Cant they put such a basic thing into their heads?
XPs screenshot right under GNOMEs is a clear example of the point, what if I had to choose from 100 pics named in secuential numbers? things get pretty messy for graphics artists, now that the GIMP 2.0 is out and all:)
It will save me hours a day in time remembering each file name and then going back to the app to choose the right file:S
Maybe Ill ask nicely next time hehehe
Plretty please! put thumbnail view on open/close dialogs!:D
Gentoo docs are a good example
on
CSS for the LDP?

· Score: 5, Informative
You can see in gentoo's website that they have a very nice consistency in their documentation, it really helps the human eye find what's needed among all data, so Im all for it
Is it me or are you right on the money with No. 18? hehehe
The JoyDress is integrated with flexible vibrapads that vibrate by programmed impulses from a thin, user-controlled command pad connected by tiny wires. It enhances the feeling of body consciousness with pleasant sensations that energize feelings, stimulate blood circulation, and give you a gentle massage.
Since my home PC is on all day for the personal web hosting, I guess I may add an old 486 computer as an X client to display piuctures served by my main machine, just add auto-login to the X terminal and set up xscreensaver as the default "window manager" in/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Xterminal so that it boots straigh into picture display mode as soon as it boots.
I bet this gives the best savings and if the cash is available there may be an interactive picture frame on every room on the house;)
good idea, I already have an all LTSP internet cafe in mexico, its fun to laugh at my competition because of operational and initial cost differences;)
there are enought ignorant people with cash to buy into the bullshit, they will find out too late once their PC is 1/5th the price of a similar pc with a real BIOS that asks for your credit card number to fix your computer problem over the internet or something:S
I just recalled that a friend told me a couple years ago that BSD systems do not need to reboot when patching the kernel, is that true or was he just full of it?
I think its time to get rid of M$ Office AND Adobe Abrobat.
Id just like to thank the big companies for cornering more and more clients who pay me for giving them cost effective options from the open source world! O;)
Old: MS Office $$$$$$$$$$$ Adobe Acrobat $$$$$$$$$$$ Me: $
New: OpenOffice.ORG (includes PDF export) $$$$$ Me: $$$$$$$$$$$$$
1.- Broke student downloads Adobe. 2.- Broke student learns Adobe through college. 3.- Broke student makes a name as an Adobe artist (whink, whink!). 4.- Company hires broke student and PAYS adobe because it can afford it. Otherwise company would have kept that other obscure graphics package that never made it out of a joint venture or out of obscurity.
Did you really think Adobe would be as stupid as you to actually ignore this basic fact?
Ask Microsoft, I got a visit from a local freelance support guy, I noticed he had 1 CD with Windows 3.11, 95 AND 98 in only 1 CD! do you expect me to believe MS had no way to prevent the creation of such a CD? pleassseeeee!! they owe their whole businesses to warez!

As long as we may choose between paying or the oss version, I am quite happy, because I have the power to choose
I actualy removed rxvt from the GUI menu, no more risk from ignorant X users :D

If I want a terminal, Ill use that hidden hot key combination
Writing from an LTSP 133 Mhz 32 RAM terminal that acts like a P4!
:)

You can visit the irc channel to talk about it
I translated the latest install doc to
spanish and I love LTSPing
I think I recall correctly that the ogg is just a trnsport to carry any typoe of codec so this makes perfect sense in my humble opinion

I think wa are a menace to websites as a slashdotting identity heh
Buts its not that fun since we all want to take a look, maybe we should start a slahdot-p2p website mirroring thinguie for our viewing pleasure
its very obvious, with less money youll be able to do almost anything in rusia because laws are so inmature and I bet law enforcement is even lower than in mexico ;)

This is starting to sound not very original to me.

Why not google setup an anti spam system we can all join in that is simply learning from the opted-in's input on what spam is?
[this is spam] button pressed more than 20% may trigger the deleting of all related spam comming into all of googles accounts
This is more like the before and after
poster images for a weight loss program hehe
Anyways I think he should go easyer on us and use something to prevent harm in a costume party
ive been playing arround with the idea without success, maybe someone here can shed a light? I use mandrake 9.2
Dumb joke and obviously a stupid copy-paste job from an expensive writer since the very editor could have done the job more gracefully.

But this is
have fun!
Cant they put such a basic thing into their heads?
