I wish I could check out its local computer search functionality, but it won't install on Windows Server 2003.
But I saw on Mozillazine that the just released Copernic Desktop Search 1.2 supports Mozilla Firefox. So I'm checking that out now, and it seem pretty cool.
I hope Google updates there desktop search soon to index Firefox's history as well as more file formats such as PDF and OpenOffice.org files.
I was thinking that I had read that the uncertainty around the lawsuit was why Alan Cox was using Linux instead of BSD, but I did a Google search and it turns out that Alan Cox choose Linux over BSD was because it would run on his FPU-less PC. http://www.linuxhq.com/lnxlists/linux-kernel/lk_99 05_01/msg00578.html
It hasn't been decided when SVG might possibly be turned on for release builds. I've heard some talk of the 1.9 timeframe, but a lot of code still needs to be reviewed. Also, I think they are waiting on some rendering backend for one of the main platforms.
US broadband penetration grew by 0.73% in August, with 51.42% of active Internet users on high-speed connections at home. 48.58% of US home users dial into the Internet with narrowband connections of 56Kbps or less. In August 2004, most active Internet user connect from home with broadband connections.

So that it will be easy for morons to get stuff working. Microsoft has fixed this somewhat with Windows Server 2003. It comes with much less turned on by default.
Don't be an idiot, MS will provide security updates of all types for win2k for some time to come. They just won't backport the XP SP2 security enhancements.
Shitty, misleading article title, but what do you expect from Slashdot?
I ended up as the Project Lead for the browser team. Yes, we licensed the technology and trademarks from NCSA (at the University of Illinois), but we never used any of the code. We wrote our browser implementations completely from scratch, on Windows, MacOS, and Unix.
Internet Explorer 2.0 was basically Spyglass Mosaic with not too many changes. IE 3.0 was a major upgrade, but still largely based on our code. IE 4.0 was closer to a rewrite, but our code was still lingering around -- we could tell by the presence of certain esoteric bugs that were specific to our layout engine.

No clue what the hello Firefox/0.6.4 is supposed to mean.

Obviously you will have to copy and paste the above link.
Someone else says:
As a percentage of online households, broadband penetration will be nearly 41% by the end of this year.

Sorry, the Web is the platform now.
Yahoo, MapQuest, MapBlast, etc.
Scoble mentioned one, mappoint I think.
Google for scoble map.

I was right, it was that data: protocol bug I had seen a couple weeks ago.

Trying to save file from data: protocol wipes every file in target directory not marked read-only

Is this the one where you save an image that is embeded with the data: protocol?

No, Spyglass Mosaic was not based on NCSA Mosaic. So says the Project Lead of Spyglass Mosaic.
Microsoft is wrong in saying that IE is based on MCSA Mosaic unless they went and also got a license from NCSA for some reason.
I rise the dust off my PCI cards and cables about once a year. If you dry them fast and let them air out they will be fine.
