That's funny, because my pages look beautiful (well, as beautiful as an artistically-challenged person such as myself could make them) on Mozilla, and like absolute shit on MSIE. Huh.
Amazing that it took this long for such an obvious interface to old HTML standards, isn't it? Sheesh! It is, however, a great selling point for mozilla!
If you like that, you should get the moz nightlies. Tabbed browsing is a very nice addition! And I like the way it is implemented...unlike in opera it does not get in your way and allows you to combine new windows with tabbed windows in a very efficient manner. I love being able to work the way I want and not the way some UI-Design wannabe wants me to work. Kudos to the UI team and tabbed browsing guys on the mozilla team for getting this VERY RIGHT.
The site navbar is way cool too, if a bit dated (most sites that use those links the way they were intended put the links in the document itself these days...but it is nice to have it always floating right there!) The navbar even pops up on slashdot now.

I LOVE that you can fully disable the cache in mozilla (I really hope this debug feature does not go away in 1.0+!)
That way I can rely on my very fast Squid cache instead!
Not a great solution if you don't run a LAN at home, but..well..I do, so why not distribute things properly? Squid is great for caching stuff, and can even be used for rudimentary ACL's if you wish to filter your kids/girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/dog/cat/wha tever

MS DOS: A Eulogy

that's what OS/2 was for. In the day when DOS and Windows 3.x were mainstream, OS/2 was so far ahead, it was ridiculous that it didn't take over. Multitasking multiple DOS VM's and having every misbehaved windoze 3.1 app confined to its own VM, with its own config.sys, autoexec, etc, was an absolute joy.
This pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter:
Draeker's response to Gupta's quote on how TranGaming is making the traditional approach obsolete: "Sure it does, in exactly the same way that deleting Linux and running Windows makes porting games to Linux obsolete."
Draeker adds: "The reason people use Linux is not because it's a great way to run Windows software. If you want Windows software then you should be running Windows. Our customers use Linux to run Linux software.
"When Loki ports a game we don't use emulation or other tricks. We are creating a native Linux application. That's the only way to take advantage of the features and stability that Linux offers. No Windows software, no matter how well emulated, can do that... Linux users demand more than Windows software can offer."

Individual apps don't NEED a friggin' spell checker. They should hook into the stuff already on your system. That said, the solution in the link above allows you to simply hilight the stuff you want to check and checks it (if your windowmanager is smart enough to give you the ability to see what is in your X selection)
Why do developers do this? Sheesh. The way to PROPERLY do cookies is to send ONE. The contents of that ONE cookie will be a HASH, which is your session ID. Then the CGI should get the actual data for that session ID from the server itself (and store it there too). Sheesh.
I always use online resources for dictionaries, thesaurus, spelling. That way you know the stuff is most up to date (or at least probably better than your local database!).
Another good resource is wordnet:

Actually, you could use the kludge to demonstrate that M$ is blocking people that it has absolutely no reason to. In other words "after changing my browser to lie, everything renders perfectly, so microsoft's argument that it does not is a bald-faced lie."
Basically when including your style sheet, set media="all" in the external sytle sheet link. Netscape will then totally ignore the style and render everything styleless.
I agree with this statement, but that's not what the author was suggesting. He was suggesting that you report it as the same browser, just on a different operating system. Mozilla on Linux is definitely not a "bad browser" and it's functionally equivalent to its Windows counterpart, so changing your Mozilla on Windows to say that it is Mozilla on Linux shouldn't be as big of a deal as masquerading as something like Netscape 4.x.
I'm on mozilla on linux, and cannot view the site. Also, the reasons they give is that their site is "W3C compliant" That's baffling as Mozilla is far more standards compliant than Netscape 4.7 ever was.
This is on a ThinkPad T21. Last reboot was when I installed Visio
Ummm. What the hell would visio need a reboot for? Gosh, if I had to reboot a production server just because of a software install...software that has nothing to do with system operation, no less...well, that's certainly not a good thing. The people using the services on my web server, including IRC, and mailing lists, wouldn't be very happy with me.
From briefly looking over the article, it looks like web site developers would have to fill out a form somewhere.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of! If you are going to rate your own pages, you should rate them on the pages themselves. What's wrong with using Meta tags in the content itself? huH? Or even better yet, configure your server to add a special header. All that would need to be done then is agree upon the Meta tag info that filters would look for, etc.
It never ceases to amaze me the ridiculously complex sytems people come up with to solve simple problems. Sheesh.
...was that the C libraries on OS/2 cost so damned much money, and I was in it as a hobbyist. It was NOT worth it for me to pay that kind of money, even though I could have made some pretty nice apps.

That's why those of us who like to actually be productive with our systems use things like windowmaker + ROX for an environment. Highly configurable, intuitive, light, and FAST.

Netscape 6.x is much more CSS2 compliant than IE. Stuff renders as intended. You have to re-code the stuff with stupid tricks to get it right in MSIE.
Personally, I use mozilla on linux.
Nope.
Opera uses that abhorrent MDI shit. Mozilla does it right.

The quoted feature actually kills both. It isn't very well named, is all.
This is documented on the same page that describes the feature, IIRC.

Forgot to convert the damned tags. Ugh.
Basically when including your style sheet, set media="all" in the external sytle sheet link. Netscape will then totally ignore the style and render everything styleless.
When including your style sheet, do it thusly:
That "media=all" line makes netscape 4.X ignore the style completely, rendering as if there was no style on your site at all.
