I'm in the process of signing up with them right now to get a cabinet to host a bunch of my personal boxes, and a website or two that I run.
The selling point for me (besides their kick-ass network architecture) is they have these pretty oscillating rainbow lights on the floor of their datacenter that light up and guide you to your server... after you scan your hand it turns on the light above your cabinet(s) (the whole place is dark inside), directs the rainbow lights to your machine, and off you go. Very cool.
Plus, the building itself (the new Fischer building, right by the space needle) totally rocks.
M14 was a piece of crap. I have a cronjob download the new build every night and it's amazing the progress Mozilla has made since M17-M18.... it's very usable now.
As for a code split, I don't see that as very likely, given the immense size of the project. Sure, it's happened before with larger projects, but that's been with projects developers mostly understood because they'd been working with them for years..... Mozilla is too new to split. Most outside developers aren't knowledgable of all the code. If it does split, it'll be a few years.
Um, that's not the kernel's fault. That's Netscape writing a buggy application. Netscape on Windows has crashed a considerable number of times for me as well.
Buying things for the "sheer gimmick value" is good though... it sends a little message to manufacturers and the rest of the industry that they're on the right track... they're providing something that people are at least somewhat interested in.
I usually expect first and second generation products in a new field to suck, but it's important to support them, so you are familiar with what to look for in the 3rd, 4th, etc... generations. And it keeps that field alive so they can do further development.
You see that image in the middle there.... "Scroll down for more" ?
Seriously --- how many people don't know how to use a web-browser (or any application with a scrollable area, like a word-processor) and can't use a scrollbar? And should those people be inventing anything in the first place?
I run a site which absolutely taxes MySQL, but I'm very cautious on changing things. However, if you've noticed any sort of performance jump between MySQL server versions, I'd be interested to know.

Rijndael is such a good encryption scheme that it even protects us from reading information about it on their web servers!
But it's so ugly. :-(
Smurf nightlight?? Throw in a Lite-Brite set with at least 12 unused cardboard paper designs and it's a deal!!

I can't wait until I'm moved in......
is that like Arby's secret sauce??? mmm....

Help!!!! winipcfg isn't working!! I have Windows 2000, what do I do? :-P
"Oh, oh .... except on Windows NT it's Start --- Run --- cmd --- ipconfig"
(just being nit-picky) :-)
Does it use OSCAR or TOC?
I wish they would've worked with an existing project instead of spinning their own half-ass version. Those screenshots don't look all that impressive.
Sure..... people stop buying cars? That won't happen too soon.
As of about 2 weeks ago I've switched to Mozilla as my primary browser over Netscapae on my Linux box.... it's getting quite usable.
Um, Yahoo runs FreeBSD ... doesn't it?
Um... XF4's architecture is vastly different from before... that's why you bump major version numbers.
Um, that's not the kernel's fault. That's Netscape writing a buggy application. Netscape on Windows has crashed a considerable number of times for me as well.
From the article... "The main advantage of the PSA is its portability..."
:-)
:P
Yeah. Real portable. It works in space.
"But moommm.... the box said said it'd float in the air... mine justs lays limp on the floor..."
(yeahyeah --- i know. i still think it's cool.)

Plus it's fun to get toys.

Which version of MySQL are you running now, Rob?
I run a site which absolutely taxes MySQL, but I'm very cautious on changing things. However, if you've noticed any sort of performance jump between MySQL server versions, I'd be interested to know.
I use 3.22.21 right now.
*sigh*
