    I respect your usage of alternating capital letters in your nickname. it shows that you are a wild and crazy driver on the information highway, and that you will not bow down to societal norms and typical rules of capitalization.

  2. Re:Change which browser you use... on Microsoft Agrees to Stop Hijacking Music-Shopping · · Score: 1

    That should work for most sites, but I hate to see Gecko marketshare diluted.

    Also, it doesn't change navigator.appName and navigator.appVersion.

    Why not just highlight whatever you want to view the generated source of, right click, and select View Selection Source?

    Seven days ago.

  5. Use titles on links to other slashdot articles on UK Police Want An Automotive Tractor Beam · · Score: 1

    It could be nice if the "Californian" link to a past Slashdot article had the title attribute set on it so that I could read the article headline. This would make it easier to decide if it is worth clicking on.

    When do you think we will have the first murder by a r00ted robot?

  9. Composer++ on Lindows Announces Nvu - Frontpage For Linux? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, Mozilla (standalone) Composer and Composer++ is nice.

    I guess the editing on the server thing might be the thing missing. Don't you have to have a server side component to do it right?

    Yeah, they should have exported it to SVG using OpenOffice.org.

    Here is the google html cache of it.

  12. Internet Explorer on Microsoft Officially Shows Longhorn, WinFX · · Score: 1

    Still IE6.

    So while they may have added popup blocking and a download manager, which other browsers have had for years, it doesn't look like there will be any increased support for standards like CSS and PNG.

    After a month of letting only the good cookies through, you can turn off cookies in Firebird and the good ones can still be read/changed.

    Is anyone else reminded of that Upright Citizen's Brigade episode (season 2 episode 1) where one of the guys playing chess has his heart stopped whenever he makes a bad move so that his survival instinct kicks in?

    2002, great, too bad it wasn't available in 1991.

    From: torvalds@klaava.Helsinki.FI (Linus Benedict Torvalds)
    Newsgroups: comp.os.minix
    Subject: Gcc-1.40 and a posix-question
    Message-ID:
    Date: 3 Jul 91 10:00:50 GMT
    Hello netlanders,

    Due to a project I'm working on (in minix), I'm interested in the posix standard definition. Could somebody please point me to a (preferably) machine-readable format of the latest posix rules? Ftp-sites would be nice.

    A month later, Linus posted:

    As to POSIX, I'd be delighted to have it, but POSIX wants money for their papers, so that's not currently an option.

    This June 1999 article is good: The Past and Future of Linux Standards

    Also, this Dec 2000 interview with Linus touches on Linux and POSIX/LSB standards.

    To sum it all up: POSIX is good, LSB is good, let's work together towards world peace.

    Ok, so now they are online. A few years too late, but I'm glad to see it.

  25. Re:POSIX is required! on LSB & Posix Conflicts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ask yourself this: can you read a copy of the POSIX standards online?

    No, that's why Linus couldn't implement it fully.
