  1. Re:Interesting things at google. on Google Eyes New Email Service, Expansion · · Score: 3, Informative

    > Back a few months ago I was developing software [...] I emailed Google about whether or not their AdWords
    > could be used in a software environment and they said not at the current moment

    That's odd since the Opera browser has Google ads.

  2. Re:Not bad on Mozilla 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Mozilla has had this feature for many, many months.

  3. Why the apple.com.au link? on Apple Justifies iLife Price Tag · · Score: 1

    The story links to the Australian Apple site. Here's the American one. The update costs $19.95 and that includes shipping.

  4. KOTOR sequel. on Discussing The Most Awaited Games Of 2004? · · Score: 1

    Personally I very much hope to see a 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic' sequel sometime next year. That game was excellent and a definite 'Game of the Year' in my book.

    I'm also hoping that Thief III doesn't get the Deus Ex: Invisible War treatment. Ion Storm already butchered one franchise with their oversimplified garbage.

  5. Re:A huge loss with death of Fallout on Black Isle Studios Shuts Down Development · · Score: 4, Informative

    > Looking Glass created the original Deus Ex under Warren Spector.

    That's not true. Deus Ex was an Ion Storm Austin product too (and it was published by Eidos of Daikatana fame...).

    > [...] Warren Spector also lead the development for Deus Ex 2 under Ion Storm and Eidos (of Daikatana fame).

    No, he didn't. Harvey Smith was the lead on Invisible War.

  6. Re:Warren Spector on Spector Comments On Deus Ex 2 Demo, Game Now Gold · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > Are we supposed to automatically know who Warren Spector is for some reason?

    Google is your friend. As always.

    Good thing that Mozilla supports both formats. Oh wai...

  9. Re:THANKS! on Mastering Unreal With Instruction Videos · · Score: 1

    > However, winrar is NOT FREE.

    Then download unrar and quit bitching.

  10. Yes, this lunch really IS free. on Mastering Unreal With Instruction Videos · · Score: 1

    I can only concur. 3dbuzz.com is an amazing site and what Jason Busby does is pretty unique. I've been a member for over a year and got five CDs shipped all the way to Denmark. For free.

    If you're interested in 3D, his site (and the huge community built around it) is a good place to start.

  11. How's the Apache 2.0 support? on PHP 4.3.2 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What's the official word on Apache 2.0 support? Do they still recommend that you use Apache 1.x for now?

  12. Re:I used to follow mozilla on Mozilla 1.4b Loosed · · Score: 1

    > CTRL-G

    Or simply F3. Type Ahead Find is the greatest invention ever.

  13. Re:Why? Hmmm.... let me think on Cheap Audio Production · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > Sure, studio time costs a fair bit, but never anything like the amount of money
    > that is typically spent on publicity, production, promotion, distribution, and stuff like that.

    You forgot to add payola and litigation expenses to your list.

  14. Why is this news? on Cheap Audio Production · · Score: 1

    Hasn't Pro Tools (in one form or another) been the de facto standard for audio work for quite some time? They make it sound like Pro Tools is something new. What am I missing here?

  15. Re:Very confusing! on IBM Denies Charges of Unix Theft · · Score: 1

    You're quoting MozillaQuest here. MozillaQuest! Do you have a better source?

  16. Very misleading writeup. on Could Doom 3 be a Xbox Exclusive? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They want XBox to be the only console that gets DoomIII. It would still be available for the PC. It plainly says so in the article.

  18. About that strange "double-S shape" sign on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 2, Informative

    > I mean - my Mac doesn't have room for page up/down or home/end keys,
    > but it devotes a whole key to a sort of double-S shape that I will never press.

    That would be the paragraph sign. It's used in law.

  19. Re:Huh. on Opera Releases "Bork" Edition · · Score: 2, Informative

    > They have ignored multiple requests to fix the Technet Knowledge Base
    > so that it doesn't purposely screw up with Mozilla, so what else is new?

    Wrong, that bug was fixed last year. You haven't visited Technet in quite a while, have you?

  20. Re:well, what're you trying to do? on FTP: Better Than HTTP, Or Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    > All browsers I've tried (Moz, Netscape, IE) use C:\ as a temporary cache for downloading.

    Mozilla doesn't do this when downloading big files (I guess it's when the size of the file exceeds the size of the cache, but I'm not sure).

  21. Re:Salamander on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 1

    > Salamander is a very good name

    I disagree. I think it's a bad name. It would be a marketing disaster to name it Salamander. The name doesn't signal 'powerful and unbloated browser' to me.

  22. Re:Upcoming Pixar Movies. on Trailer of Pixar Movie 'Finding Nemo' · · Score: 1

    > Shrek? How the hell can you go wrong with Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy? [...] Antz

    Shrek was made by Dreamworks SKG and not Pixar. The same goes for Antz. The two studios are in direct competition.

  23. Re:Slashdot: Don't bother linking to Flash-only si on Beautiful Case Modding · · Score: 1

    > If you dont have falsh installed your missing alot of funny and interesting stuff on the web.

    Like what, for example? I'm genuinely curious. The best use of Flash I've seen is for insane animations ala Yatta. That hardly qualifies as interesting though...

    What Antec case do you have?

  25. Re:Good timing on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    > Phoenix is based off of the 1.0 branch of code

    I'm not too sure of that. The about box in 0.1 lists the following:
    "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020923 Phoenix/0.1"

    This would indicate that it uses the newest 1.2b code.
