Umm, isn't the Chinese government paying people $500 to report porn sites? Don't you get in trouble for spreading anti-governmental messages via the Internet?
As I stated previously I am auditing KHTML, NOT firefox. Therefore I don't know specifics. It's always easier to be a critic. Instead of auditing KHTML and creating fixes, you are making fun of me... who's a "fuckin idiot", again?
BTW, I don't see YOU slamming any code either. You are posting anonymously to slashdot.
Yes. But I worry about security holes... security holes should not be overlooked for years because people are too lazy to fix them (I suppose I should fix them if I care so much...). And the OS X version likes to crash A LOT. Therefore I use Safari. I do like Firefox under Linux, though. Not as unstable or ugly.
As for IE, I avoid Windows at all costs so I don't really encounter it.
I'll probably get modded down for saying this, but I have Karma to burn...
That article is some crybaby whining about how expensive the G5s are. "Apple is so dumb. Why would anyone pay that much for a CRAP computer," is what the article sounds like. I think that guy needs to take his superior knowledge elsewhere and try some benchmarks ("512K of cache isn't competitive for $3000")... apparently it is because it's winning benchmarks and people are buying them. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it's a bad computer (doesn't mean it's a good computer either). This guy needs to grow up and write an article with facts instead of emotions...
Compliance with standards, yes. The other things, not yet. I'm doing a security audit of KHTML right now (not Firefox), but from what I hear from people looking at Gecko/FireFox is that there are more than enough security/stability problems to be... problematic. Look at the securityfocus posting from a few weeks ago... firefox crashes on random HTML. All those crashes are potentially exploitable.
To be honest, the more I use Firefox, the more I dislike it. It really isn't that great. It has the potential to be great, but we need to get past all this "add more features" and fix security programs. The browser is the most dangerous program you use (it goes out and ASKS for malicious input); let's fix that.
(As an aside, Konqueror is looking good, but I'm sure I'll get the 10 exploits I need for the class.)
I use a PDA. I use it to manage my schedule (along with iCal) and use it at work to take notes when I'm in remote computer labs. If only I could get 802.1x & Clarify CRM support...
It is easier than using paper and plus people know you're a computer nerd.:)
I would use the word "plagiarism". Whether or not it's illegal, I don't know... but it doesn't seem very ethical to take someone else's work and pass it off as your own.
File traders don't claim they made the movie, they just made a copy of it. Again, I don't know whether or not it's illegal, but I don't feel bad about it. Oh no, the starving execs can't get a new Jaguar. Cry cry cry...
Meh. We spent $80 billion to go kill people (erm, I mean get oil. oh I mean liberate the people! that's it!) in Iraq... what's $10 billion to help people understand the Universe?
With politicians running the government we're all fucked:-]
I've thought about this for a bit and have another question. Does it matter what the Chinese government tells us? The information can't get back into China (Great Firewall, etc.) So they can just tell us the truth and lie to the citizenry, right?
The iPod is made in China. I think it's not a matter of it being Chinese so much as it being cheap. You buy cheap stuff, you get cheap stuff. That's how life works.:)
You know, I see people on the L every day wearing the iPod earphones, and not one of those people has been mugged! I've seen one story where someone has gotten mugged, and that was ONE time in London. That's it.

This is slashdot! Who needs a wife or girlfriend when you can have an uber-cooled processor!?

That's far from being Free...

Hi this is Joyce, your girlfriend. My keys got compromised so here are the new ones. I love you honey.

0wned.
But that's why people buy macs. To use photoshop quickly. So how long a filter application takes is very relevant.
:)
I don't have a mac here, but opterons and g5s are probably similar. Pick the one you like, they're both expensive
What exactly would stop Win2k3 from running on a 386? The ISA is the same...

What if, what if, what if. It's not not free. It is free. So why are you asking this?

He was referring to the lawn mower.
I know how to do all four. And 802.1x / RADIUS.

No wonder so many geeks don't have jobs
