What I don't get is why did AOL buy Netscape (other than for it's user's, since netscape.com was one of the busiest sites online at the time), and why is Netscape still around (besides their cheaper alternative to AOL's online service)?
America OffLine bought Netscape, Netscape started Mozilla to be the next version of Netscape, AOL got rid of Mozilla, and the Mozilla Foundation was formed, and AOL was using IE as their main browser.
Now, AOL has made their own browser which is based on IE, Netscape still releases beta browsers based on what was suppose to be their next browser, which is now not owned by anyone.
So why did AOL buy Netscape, and why is Netscape still around?
What I don't get, is other than the amount of users that used to go to Netscape's portal (it was at the time, one of the busiest sites on the net), why did AOL buy Netscape?
They bought Netscape, continued to use IE, started Mozilla then let Mozilla go (to become the Mozilla Foundation), and now they are developing their own browser, which is based on IE.... so I ask again, why did AOL buy Netscape, and why are they continuing to pump out Beta versions, but never use it?
Of course this is a complete knock off of the mini mac, because we all know that Apple's mini mac was the first small "PC".
And other than "stories" that have been going around, I have yet to see anything that says that the mini mac was suppose to go into the livingroom... even Steve Jobs made some comment, denying that it was suppose to go there.
This I can see myself using for a HTPC in my living room, however, the mini mac's cube shape I can not.
If you're asking yourself this, and have to come on here to get an answer, then my answer to you is Yes.
But honestly, only you can answer this. - Did you have another job lined up before leaving? - Are you living in a location where there are plenty of jobs where you'll be happy, and you are able to get? - Are you able to get by comfortably until you find a new job, and if not, was it worth leaving before finding a new job? - If you company was bought out, would you be switching to Visual Studio right away, or would you have been able to continue doing what you were doing before (until you found a new job)?
Sometimes, we have to do things that we don't like (for example, I'm writing help files, but it's paying the bills, and I'm getting by quite easily, but until I can find a job that pays as good or more than this, and where my experience would better be served, I'll continue to do the jobs that no one else wants)
I know that this was an attempt at being funny, but I'm curious, did you say this because the author mentioned "darkside" in his review, or because html came before xml, or a combination of both? The reason why I ask, is because I thought "XML" is older than HTML, and is a simpler version of SGML (?), which HTML is also derived from... no?
Having Episode 33 on their uncut and comercial free (whether it be Streaming Real Adio or otherwise) is a good way to expand the fan base.
Most of you who hate real audio, and won't download/stream it/view it, are probably the same people who have already seen a few episodes of the series already, so I don't think that you fit into the target that they are aiming for.
But then again, there are probably a few, like myself, who won't download/install Real Audio, and haven't seen any epeisodes, let alone any comercials for it yet.
One last thing, it's kind of funny, how no matter what people do, people will bitch. Sci-Fi didn't have to release the episode + extras, and you would have to wait till the DVD comes out.
"... the driver for Linux on the desktop is not cost savings, but easier support. Manning estimates that it takes a company approximately one desktop administrator to support 40 Windows PCs, while one administrator can support between 200 and 400 Linux desktops."
Isn't this still Cost Savings, when you don't need to hire as many admins?
Personally, I don't see a problem with having the kids wear the tags? If the kids are where they are suppose to be, then the teacher(s) already know where they are, but if the kids aren't where they should be, then this should tell you, and it is the school's business to know where they are. The kids, while at school, are the school's responsibility. It's not like these tags are on them to keep track of them 24/7 (which I think would be a good idea for the parents to have when they kids are "living under their roof").
"... but I think I'll be cashing out my chips before I leave the casino..."
Using RFID tags in Casinos was mentioned a while back, and one of the reasons why they wanted to use RFID tags, was to make sure people don't leave with the chips.
I see competitor's name/logo in a lot of TV ads... take for example Coke/Pepsi, who both put each others logos (and I'm sure they even mention the other) in their advertisements (Coke truck driver drinking pepsi, someone looking at both machines, and picks one). Also yesterday, I seen a CLR comercial, where they showed a "real time" demonstration between them and one of their competitors, and mention the competitor's name in it. But, I've also been told from a cable technician, that Roger's was suing Bell ExpressVu over one of their ads, bhe red truck in it, resembled a Roger's truck (Supposably Rogers also owns a piece of ExpressVu).
Rogers upped their bandwidth a few months ago to 5Mbps for $45 + $80 (all in Canadian $$$) for the modem. As for how often do I actually speeds? Well, whenever I'm downloading torrents, I get around 600kbps (steady, not peak).
Cogeco up here in Ontario offers 10Mbit Download/1Mbit upload cable connection, which is caped, but not enforced for about $70 CDN (which is probably like $50US)
Actually, I'm not willing to get one. On the Canadian store, I just priced one out and it comes up to $1300 ($976 with 512Mb Ram). - 1.42GHz G4 - 4x SuperDrive (+$130) - 80 GB Ultra ATA - 1Gb Ram (+$422)
And to top it all off, it comes with a 32MB vid card.
With the old prices, an upgraded mac mini ends up costing well over $1000, and for that price, I can get a lot more in a PC.
IMO, I think one of the reasons they came out with the mac mini, is to get more people to try out a mac, and hopefully convert them to their side. Personally, I won't go and spend $2000 for a Mac to try out. But for $500, I'm willing to purchase one, especially now with the new lower upgrade prices
So what are you trying to say? That if he can't pay the full bill, then he shouldn't pay for any of it? And for this to be some "typical billigatus foundation PR excercise" is kind of expensive don't you think (especially when you include everything else that his foundation has donated)?
I've done a little bit of work with different DBs (Oracle 9i/10g, db2, Ms SQL 2000, MySQL, and some will laugh, Access)... and as far as I know, they're not OOP DBs. If they're not, then whats the advantage of an OOP Db compared to everyone else?
I wasn't making a point, I was asking a question. If Longhorn was being built from the ground up, then I can see why it's taking a while to build. Tiger on the other hand, is just building ontop of what they already have. But, as the poster below mention, this is not really the case, and my question has been answered.

They're suing Google for $17.5 mil, but how much more have they made since Google has been linking to them?
I do believe that xml is a "simplified", "sub-set" of SGML, same with HTML.
Winamp 5 = (the stability of Winamp) 2 + (The eye candy and other fancy features of Winamp) 3.
What about Netscape 6?
They went from 4.7 or 4.8, to 6 (Mozilla created to be the next version of Netscape somewhere around 4.5 or 4.6)

Is a post considered redundant when it's the first post to mention the redundant material?
They really should have posted a torrent of this file, especially since they're not making you register/log in to download the iso.
When I first clicked on the link (with 0 posts on here), I was getting over 100kb/s, soon after it dropped to 4.67kb/s

Of course it didn't require a reboot like IE ... FF isn't "tied into" the OS

I haven't RTFA, but i believe it would be more like, you going on to irc, and seeing that a buddy's away says "Playing ".
With YIM, next to a person's name, it will tell you what game they are playing (if any) on games.yahoo.com.
