If you write semantic markup and use CSS as it is intended, then you won't need to 'stop' supporting older browsers. The HTML spec takes this in mind and older browsers will degrade nicely (still seeing the content, but none of the fancy-pants layout and graphics). This is a win-win for both sides, as you keep your die hard lynx fans happy, and your modern browsers seeing the content and the more up-to-date layout.
Furthermore, you help improve your search rankings by making it easier for spiders to pick up on your page's content, make it simple for yourself to make pages printable and viewable on mobile devices, reduce bandwidth by removing redundant markup, and heck, with a small bit of work, you can even let people with disabilities navigate your site with ease.
Why support 'browsers' when you can write one set of markup that works everywhere?
Lycoris Linux is already doing something like this. Though, if know enough about linux to really see the merits in switching, then it tends to be more restrictive than helpful.
Apparently Mozilla 0.9.9 is not more current than Netscape 4.x -- bravo sharp, bravo indeed. At least Microsoft is trying to push something (their browser)...
As a professional Java developer, an avid gamer, and a hobbyist game developer, I can tell you that there is no way this is going to work for certian types of games. Quake [X] will never be written in Java.
Actually, quake 2 had a project going that used java (for it's security) check around planequake for it.
In contrary to popular belief, Java applications are in fact not much slower than C++
applications when they have been tuned for performance. A rough estimate based on the
various benchmarks would say that tweaked Java code is a little slower than C++;
typically 20-50% on the average, but this is hard to tell for certain because of the large
variations in the speed seen in the benchmarks....
20-50% is "not much slower" ??
Say I had two programs, one done in all C++ and one done in all Java
Now, if these numbers are right, then the C++ program is up to TWICE as fast as the Java one... I think I know which one I'll be using.
I could not agree with you more. I'm pretty sick and tired of hearing "Free Everything" or "You will be..." er "Closed source is the only viable option".
I like my free software, like the gimp, but I also like my paid for software like acdsee and Outlook (yea yea).
Apple has more or less given us proof that both gpl'ed (aka "free") and closed source software CAN and DO work well together, in fact, they can work so well together to such an extent that whole operating systems are built on the idea.
if you need someone to take your cube off your hands, I could possibly fit that bill:)
I've had fun with my little g3, I think I'm ready to cut my teeth on a g4.
That's not the point though. The corporations are gearing up to make it so it's insanely regulated by THEM on the terms you use it by. The example given above: "get permission from microsoft to open word" is what we (or the Author of the book, and now, I) are afraid of.

It simply moves it into /tmp/.
/tmp/ is cleaned and the data is lost.
When the user reboots, however,
... but they were violating copyright, and the RIAA has every right to go after them for whatever damages they see fit.
Though, whether this holds up in court (90+ trillion??) is another matter.
I filled out my taxes at HRBlock.com in under an hour, paid them 20 bucks for it, and got my returns within a week. Let them do the math :)

worse yet
twice as good as linux kernel 2.5
