That's what so great about Dilbert! You find the cartoons that match whats killing you at work, print em out and put em on your cubicle wall. Then the PHB comes in, reads the cartoon and maybe realizes how you see what's going on. Even if he doesn't get it, its still a form of release.
Maybe not. But if you get on the personal level with your managers... what happens when you have personal issues? You are equal after work as friends, but during work they are above you. This means that conflicts after hours translates into you getting nailed during hours. Trust me on this one, not a good idea. Not saying you can't have a good work relationship.
I hear what you're saying about the parser -- if it allows to much -- you get away with writing bad code. That's exactly whats happened with web developers that write for IE only.
I also wish more people would fix their code instead of calling a browser crap if their crappy code does render right. Guess we have to accept that as far as conforming to standards goes, the web sucks.
Eek!! Someone say this ain't so! That's a TERRIBLE way to design an engine! When I've done web development, the most impressive thing about IE was its rendering engine -- you can throw almost anything at it and its still cool... I think that they must have some excellent parsing code in there.
I've not looked at the Mozila code, but I assumed they were just writing good parsers. This exception to the rule writing is dangerous... can anyone confirm that they're this?
Check out http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/! Installs painlessly and works well -- it might be integrated into the main Mozilla package one day. So there!
Tabs are cool - don't use em if you don't like em!

Mozilla 0.9.6 Released

· Score: 1
The subject line says it all! I have a friend who is IE crazy and didn't like Mozilla (well.. I showed him some early builds). He's becoming more and more impressed with Mozilla and when he saw the tabs he freaked (in a good way)! He said that a tabbed interface is one thing Microsoft can learn from Mozilla (he even hopes they implement tabs in IE). He's a UI and Windows freak, so this says a lot.
And if you really don't like tabs.. and love having hundreds on windows in your taskbar: d-o n-o-t u-s-e t-h-e-m!
You can't really do this as a valid comparison. Linux developers (and Linux itself) has its development based on Internet services -- obviously it'll turn up a lot of hits!
Another thing -- 'Mozilla' is part of IE's internal identification string.. I can't remember the exact wording, but if you check some of those 'Mozilla' pages, I garauntee most of them won't be about the Mozilla browser we know and love. (I know, I once needed to find some info about Mozilla's DHTML capabilities and kept hitting info about IE).
I don't think this should have been posted... the overwhelming majority of those bugs are duplicates or closed. But all the postings we'll see will either say that:
Mozzy is buggy as hell since it has 100,000 bugs (duh! read!)
It can't be scalable if they post a cached link! (not about hardware!)
100,000 isn't large when considering system architecture (valid)
They're talking about the scalability of the system to handle a large amount of records -- so that developers are not overwhelmed. Its about system architecture -- NOT about the scalability of their servers and whether or not the hardware can handle the slashdot effect.
Did you read the submission properly? They're mostly duplicates... people submitting bugs that others already have. Bugzilla's email replying facility looks to be a real cool feature! I wonder... does SourceForge's bug tracker have anything close to this?
I mean, they're talking about how the 1.8Ghz Intel chip was trailing behind AMD's 1.4Ghz chip.. and now they're excited because their *2Ghz* chip might just beat AMD's *1.4Ghz* chip?! Hello? Geez.. sounds like AMD has a MUCH better design going. What will happen when AMD releases a 2Ghz Athlon? Will Intel have to bring out a 3Ghz chip to match it? I can't see how Intel can be too happy with this..
It looks really cool! I just hope its more stable than HP's printers..

IBM Wants Linux

· Score: 2, Insightful
If IBM wants Linux instead of AIX then they should assist in the development of the features they feel are missing...... isn't that the point of Open Source? I don't think anyone else will see this as a "challenge".
(Disclaimer: I know IBM is already investing heavily in Linux, so they may already be doing this).

You need a bitmap in Pi for proof that intelligence created the Universe? Really now, look at all the constants that, if off by just a tiny bit, would make the Universe unstable. Then look at other constants required for life, that we have, on Earth. I once saw a list of these known constants (which is always increasing) and how the margin for error (real small). Isn't this proof enough?
No no.. its just that there was more national pressure back then. It was seen as real important. Thus more money, more brilliant people.. that sort of thing.
It's also an application development platform (anything that runs Mozilla can run your apps). It also has a mail/news and composer app included, with more coming. Either you are VERY misinformed or a troll.. probably both;)

Actually according to a result poll on /. most readers are using Windows!

Anybody else see that? What exactly do they mean by 'automated bug detection'? Win2k is very stable.. any links explaining what they're doing here?
Heh.. I mean.. its in the name of adventure and exploration, right? I'm sure NASA would love to hear from guys like yourself.
