I'm working on trying to recreate a bug in mozilla, seemingly only my homecomputer does this. It has been reported to bugzilla but they can't recreate it. I'm asking anybody who also has this problem to contact me with this build and basic system information. (build#/processor/motherboard/memory/internet connection speed/windows version/etc.) On loading of a url frequently images (and sometimes the pages themselves) are not loading and giving the error. seems to be a timeout error nsDocumentBindInfo::OnStopBinding: Load of URL 'http://someurl' failed
Umm maby its just me but from all my personal experience the definition for Geek and Nerd, as well as use uses of the words, should be switched. Based upon all the correspondents I've had most people agree that the Geek is the higher form of Nerd. Though I think their definition of Twit is right on. See my Sig it explains all
Sorry. forgot to include my explination, was going to say that I think we should have the make love not war on the front because most people wouldn't automatically make the connection. Even if they knew about linux, seeing just make vmlinux not windows might be interesting but wouldn't automatically force a connection.
Hmm great t-shirt for copyleft, though accually I would suggest that on one the front it says make love not war (with a slashdot logo below that) then on the back it says make vmlinuz, not windows Hey is the t-shirt design contest still going on, I'm not artist so I couldn't really draw that, but still a great idea!
Well yes, the RIAA will probably now turn around and say that a computer qualifies as a digital recording device (which is pretty much does) but because of the fact that a computer is such a general use device the courts will most likly laugh in the RIAA's face.
Re:Top X Things You Can Do With Your DIVX Disks

DIVX is dead

Accually I've found that a lamenating them is the best way of solving the hole problem. Needs to be fairly think lamenation. And try to use a machine that doesn't have to roll it around a spool, as cd's don't like to be bent as easily as paper.
Does anyone out there know what the proper array name for divs in 5.0 is?? For example I can referense and array of images as document.images[] and in netscape 4 I can referense an div as document.layers[] but in mozilla document.divs[] or div doesn't seem to work?? is this possible? I can't find it in the specs? it would be VERY helpful..
I don't know.. reminds me of liberal.. and many people who use linux and other free software are accually believe it or not capitolist when it comes to everything else.
Just curious if your running a free bulletin board, how does the NZ government find out that your running it? do you have to report this kinda thing? What happends to you when you don't?
While I'm definate opposed to the idea of telecom trying to tax NZ net access, I would like to point out that it appears that the petitioners legal stance is slighly off. They state that telecoms actions are contrary to the Kiwi Share agreement which they quote the important part being:
"Local Call Charging - A local free-calling option will be maintained for all residential customers. Telecom may, however, develop optional tariff packages which entail local call charges for those who elect them, as an alternative."
While I'm no legal scholor it appears as if telecom has provided them with an Option in which they can call for free. And an additional tarriff, if the customer wants a higher priority line. While its sad that they would choose to single out data lines for such treatment, it doesn't appear nessesary against the agreement. Any thoughts?
This about this, lets say noone pirated anything, but yet there existed some cheap and or free programs that could take place of the expensive software. Joe Shmo is building his own machine, he obviously can't spend a few hundred dollars on an operating system, and its basic word processors and internet applications, so he goes the cheap route and gets the cheaper clones. Now the cheap clones are everywhere and there amount of computers that have the expensive software is much smaller. Therefor the expensive software has much less of a chance of becoming the defacto standard, as the average person has probably seen the cheap software, and can use it. Imagine a monopoly like Microsoft with its high prices existing in an environment like this. Now switch it around where there is piracy and you have what we have today. Sounds to me like Microsoft is accually benifits from piracy?.. anyone agree?
you'll never see a competing firm offering more features, a better interface, or a price less than $35/yr.
Personally I would be willing to pay up to $100 a year if there was good service/interface I have been requesting since january to have my conformation permissions changed and have not heard a word from NSI/internic. Would switch in a heart beat.. even repay the 2 year price if I can be allowed to change my info instantly and easily.
The lack of ability of your brain to deal with large numbers has nothing to do with your brains inert inability, it simply is a lack of training. No one can be born with the ability to multiply 45834 * 4542 for several good reasons. First of all, our brains are built to survive in a natural system. The calculations we are programmed to do are of a virtual and physics nature.
Secondly number notation is a purly unnatural thing, one has to learn what 45834 is before they can multiply it by anything. Also our brain has to learn to understand the concept of a base 10 system anyways. While us having 10 fingers does inertly lead us to developing a base 10 system, this doesn't nessesarly have to be the case, and I doupt the math that is done subconciously in our brain uses such a system.
My last point is that there are people out there who can multiply huge numbers like that in thier heads. Most of them have no idea how they do it, this is probably due to the fact that at sometime during thier learning experienced their brain discovered a way to equate the symbol 13434 (for example) with what it truly means. Most people only have a vague idea what such a number really represents. If we can be taught to understand such relationships, we could probably all do this. But then again.. who knows.. personally I couldn't tell you what 34 * 7 is
Accually Microsoft and AOL are more ex friends. AOL is now testifying against Microsoft, and having the Netscape employees they bought redesign AOL under the Netscape browser. Rumor abound that soons AOL will stop using its propritary network protocol and use good ol TCP/IP via PPP. Talk about html/javaising thier interface and such. While I don't like AOL and never plan on using them, they are nolonger bedfellows with Microsoft, and quite possibly could help destroy them. By the way while Microsoft likes to talk about owning the internet they seem to be more interesting in owning your desktop. But AOL definatly seems to be interesting in owning the internet, and that scared me.. Not that I'm worried, the free/open source software revolution is taking off right in time.
Please report this problem to bugzilla.mozilla.org and submit the url to them also.. will help in determining the problem. If you do not have a login for bugzilla simply type in a email address and not a password and hit the e-mail me a password button this is all that is required for registration
If you are having a problem with updating from a previous build to M6, and are getting error messages concerning it not finding files when you run apprunner, and it appears that its looking in the wrong directory. Delete windows\mozregistry.dat this stores info about file locations.. it will be recreated on the next load
Ok this is not intended as a flame, but my geez, what socialist brainwashing camp did you just come out of. A major benefit of computers is having individual freedoms pecially in the form of communication. Do you think that if we allowed the government to have sayso in the creation of our operating systems that we would have any privacy left. Hooks would be added to allow the government to use/control your computer whenever they want. If you don't believe me look at the information concerning our government wiretapping our government regulated telephone system..
No it fails on more than one key point. Another would be that Microsoft is Linux's father.
Well I'd be willing to speculate that had Microsoft never existed Linux may not have taken off as well as it did. That is not to say anything negative about linux, but I believe if IBM had been allowed to create OS/2 properly and recoupe money for it, that by now OS/2 would be everywhere and quite possibly be a very good/stable operating system. While I will always praise Linux, I seriously doupt it would have gone much farther than Unix in the home/small buisness market, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone is getting sick and tired of the sh*t that is Windows 95/98
I'm sure bill gates was a fairly innocent kid.. though I could be seriously wrong, would be interesting case study finding out the little stupid things he did when he was a kid. All geek/nerd kids get their occasional revenges just a matter of how far they went.. Kinda curious. anyone seen any biographies of pre-mi~1/gates ?
This came from that article The following list of nonviolent video games has been developed by The Games Project. These games are ranked high for their social and play value and technical merit. 1. Bust a Move 2. Tetris 3. Theme Park 4. Absolute Pinball 5. Myst 6. NASCAR 7. SimCity 8. The Incredible Machine 9. Front Page Sports: Golf 10. Earthworm Jim
I don't know what they are talking about.. I remember splattering quite a few guts in Earthworm Jim!!!
Hmm You know I have to admit I honestly have to make myself not hop into my car right after playing grand theft auto.. not that it makes me want to run over people.. but it does make me wanta drive a bit insane.. which I like to drive that way in the first place, I've just been able to stop myself but playing it kinda brings that side of me out that just wants to burn up some rubber. But I believe you have to be inclind to want to commit these acts in the first place.. these games just kinda remind you of your inclination and temp you with it. Most people are not inclided to go on a shooting rampage.. no matter how much they just sorta want to sometimes -grin- -wink- But sure.. I'll concide that if I was a bit mental and was inclind to shoot people or run over pedistrians maby these games might bring that out. But then again any number of things can bring out a persons violent inclination.
While the idiotic "expert" probably was talking about Doom and Quake. I'd be willing to bet that is that story is true the kid must have learned his shooting from games that accually use gun like controlers that you shoot at the screen. Many of these games accually do increase your accuracy at shooting, much like going to a shooting range itself. They also help you deal with moving targets, as opposed to many shooting ranges. So I could see a kid playing these games endlessly and learning how to aim a gun well. I am NOT saying btw that these games enouraged him to start shooting in Real Life, just saying thats where the confusion probably lies. The military expert oviously is taking one type of shooting game that can enhance your shooting ability and transposing it into another game that only enhances your ability to play hide and go seek:)

you can't jail a company.
Sure you can, take away their buisness license. While such an action is VERY extreme, it certainly would in effect jail the company.
