Depends on how much mass havoc you really want to create.
But, really, I think a large number of rather ordinary people would somehow manage to not panic when faced with something truly mindboggling, like that.
Well, I know this article is about Mozilla, and how Mozilla around here is everyone's favorite pet... but.. every single feature that I've ever seen implemented by and/or for Mozilla that was even remotely useful to anyone besides the author of that feature.. was already implemented in Opera first.
Ya'all really should check it out. Quicker, faster, works a lot better. No, it's not open source. But, it is possible that there can be software that's good that's not open source.
So, do you have an answer to why, sometimes, we'll see dupes on the front page? ie, two virtually identical articles posted in the same 24 hour period?
If there's a wrong answer on Millionaire, and you can prove it, you need to contact them - at least once, i know, they have called the player back, and restarted the game at the point where the incorrect answer was.
There were two replies to my post here, and i'm going to cover them both here (since i hate the 2 minute lagtime between posts)..
re: security hole, with the link to the knowledge base.
If you know how to turn it off (which I have no idea how to turn this off, I'd never even heard of it until today), then you probably have it patched already.
I'm not arguing that IE is secure, I just wanted to get some reasonable explanation as to what, where, how, etc...
Of course there's bits of AIX in Linux. However, SCO does not own everything in AIX, just because they think they own Sys V. (I say 'think' because at this point we still don't even really know [if they have rights/what rights they have] for Sys V.
IBM owns AIX. IBM can do whatever the fuk it wants with AIX. The license for the Sys V code does not require IBM to transfer ownership of their modifications (AIX) back to SCO.
Hey now, almost a decade of whacking off before they created the JPG format, was inspired by the GIF format.
Now, maybe you thinking about me masturbating , makes you want to puke.. but, certainly what was contained within those GIF images was a lot more entertaining!
There were animated GIFs before there was a Netscape v2.0, before there was a Netscape, before Marc Andreissen(sp) had likely even used his first Internet connection.
1986, I definitely remember playing with animated GIFs on an Amiga.
Now, I've never seen any options (not that I've used IE much on a system where I could change options) that relate to IE and DirectX. In fact, i was kinda stymied by the idea that you can actually do something with DX from within IE.. weird.
Explain?
And, Explain why you'd want to turn it off, if it is useful?
I think the Peanut Butter guys should've sued the Unisys guys, for that whole deal.
I'd always heard it was supposed to be JIFF originally, but there was something else similar to that (or maybe they were afraid of the Peanut Butter guys suing them), and then they changed the first letter, and dropped the last F so it could be used on 8.3 systems.
I never studied the specifics to any of the exist compression methods, but I did implement a compression method just to see if I could do it once. Then I gave the BASIC (C= 64) source to a friend he says "Did you just type that out of a magazine? It looks just like LZ."
When an 8 year old recreates it, knowing nothing about it beforehand, exactly how obvious is it?
oh, that's right, 8 year olds only see the things everyone else misses.
it appears that NC requires both computers having access to the same filesystem.. whereas with DISTCC it doesn't... loooks to be a fairly sizeable difference
You probably need to set up cross-compiling capability on the Cygwin, if you want to compile to target the Gentoo, or the other way around if you want to target the Cygwin.
The reason it wouldn't work just by default, is because your binaries are being targeted for different platforms.
Actually, you do NOT need to have the exact same version of GCC. However, there are certain points where the compile options given to one version will fail when given to another version. I used DISTCC quite happily between my two RedHat 7.2 boxes and my Debian box, until Debian upgraded beyond I think it was GCC 3.2.0 or so.. with the RedHat boxes having been on 2.96 i think.
I've been using one of those rubber-like, roll-up "indestructible" keyboards for about 3 years now.. Almost all the letters have rubbed off the rubber/plastic like substance, but hey, i can touch type.
Sure it does, one in the PS/2 port, three through USB devices. Linux will auto-attach the PS/2 port to the regular virtual consoles, and then you use the Xserver's input handling to deal with the input from the other 3.

Or like 9/11. Or the Madrid attacks.

And I can't do that with Javascript?
Or for that matter, form entry? hmm.

How about "Prior to Windows 2k, Windows GDI subsystem didn't have any kind of alpha-transparency support"? Would you believe that?
:D
To support it, would likely have required a major re-coding of the image rendering of IE, or would have required patching the OS.
I can certainly see why they wouldn't support it.
Now, it's in there, and it's also included with DirectX. It just has to be -enabled-.

Could someone please explain to me how that is off topic?
:D
A $1 Xterminal on Ebay is FAR cheaper than anything like this.
You forgot when they were trying out Snoop Dogg for the part:
Fo-Shizzle!
How else is Larry Wachowski gonna pay for that sex change operation?
Information here in case you haven't heard about it.. Larry wants to become Linda.
And, most of them don't even care about that, just witness how many people in the world use substandard crappy software.

Every article I've ever read from Secunia is vastly overexaggerated utter rubbish.
Please stop using them as a source, for real news.
Thank you!

Drives my friends nuts though.
ok, so i wasn't awake when i posted that :P
*pity party anyway*
Damn, 900 emails? I get that in spam, in just two days.

I'm also seeing several Ebay auctions for Xterminals, currently going for $1 each. Nice.
