So you actually use the mouse to use software quickly? I'd call more/better shortcuts a feature that allows you to use the software more efficiently.
Improved XML support means you click one less button
??? I'm talking about the improved XML visualization a la Internet Explorer.
I can't speak for TypeAhead Find, since I did not even install that, so I don't even know what it is.
You should -- it's an innovative (and unique) feature allowing you to navigate through the links in a web page more quickly. Some think of it as the major new feature in 1.2.
The world is full of greyscales not black and white.
Heh... I didn't sound like that from the statement: "An interface like AOL makes lindows idiot friendly". Period. Sounded pretty definite to me, but I get your point now.:)
Also, I have a feeling Netscape 7 lacks the new features and bug fixes of Mozilla 1.1 since it's using 1.0.1 as base.
The cookie settings in Mozilla is good enough for me and I really like both the adblocking features of Mozilla and the abscence of AOL so I think I've made up my mind.
Its nice that more userfriendly alternatives comes out on linux. If AOL supports linux it will mean that more users will have the ability to try it out.
Why?
Would including Mozilla stop them from trying it out? How is Mozilla harder to use than IE?
An interface like AOL makes lindows idiot friendly. Many of you 373343 hAxx0r5 may find that disturbing but i like the spinoffs it makes.
The browsers of the current major Linux distributions are easy to use. The Lynx days are fortunately days of the past. You can make Mozilla identical to IE with a simple reskin.
I still fail to understand how AOL would automatically make a Linux distribution easy to use, where no involvement with AOL would make it mostly just useful for "l33t h4x0rz".
With its AOL licensing deal, the Lindows said that consumers can enjoy the versatility of Netscape browser and communications capabilities right out-of-the-box with an icon-driven interface.
Whoa - icons! Let me get this straight... Are they saying they'll use those new, often abstract, graphic representations of commands you give to the computer? This, my friends, seem to be a browser for the 21st century. Let's all embrace Netscape 7 in all its glory.
The Mozilla IE Theme looks pretty much like IE to me, and I'm using IE regularly.
Of course won't solve the shortcut problems and if it's not customizable by editing some file (anyone know?), then I hope the Mozilla team will have that in 1.3 or so.
I've always wondered why censorship is needed if proper age limits are set. Perhaps the discussion shouldn't be whether we can see the movie without censoring or not, but if they have the proper age restrictions. I've found it strange that here in Sweden, we have the highest normal restriction at an age of 15 when we are minors until 18. Still, movies with extreme violence are shown without problems to 15 year olds. Heck, I'm sure 14 year olds can watch the movie without too much trouble as well.
When we have the "proper" age restrictions (where it's another story to decide how to set them), I definitely think we should have no censorships. I can decide what to watch and not. If I had bad experiences from an extremely violent movie, I would never think "Oh, why didn't they protect me from that scene by censoring it!?" but instead "Why did the director keep that unnecessarily violent scene".
Humans can already have black, white, brown, yellow and red skin tones. Making for example black aliens would be discriminating. Fortunately, no humans (except dead humans) are grey, so that skin tone was available.
But it's not many to choose from. Someone should index "available politically correct alien colors".:-)
Yes, and there's always the possiblity that this is a golden opportunity to make changes to Microsoft. If MS win to a large part in the antitrust case, do you all think it could be brought again just as easily?
It's sad to see the very unprofessional ProComp / Sun people drive this case to the point it's laughable, when they could do so much more.
Slashdot Mirror
Being a stupid Star Wars fan, I always associate Tarkin with Grand Moff Tarkin. :-) oh well...
That is a weak list of improvements.
... according to you.
More shortcut keys I won't call a feature

Solaris also offers a "failsafe" mode, does that mean all those servers out there are failprone too?
:-)
If you think so.
You think this is tied to the popularity increas of Linux in the userbase?
Yes, just like in the case with Windows.
Doesn't LindowsOS constantly run as the 'root' user?
Yes, but the target group of Lindows users doesn't care?

I have yet to see a single Mozilla 1.2 feature that Netscape 7 doesn't have.
Type Ahead Find?
More shortcut keys?
Attaching multiple messages to e-mails?
Improved XML support?
A rather serious e-mail bug?
Just naming a few from the 1.2 release notes.
Perhaps some changes was introduced prematurely in Netscape 7, but I doubt all of them were.
This is also from 1.2. I'm not sure if Netscape 7 even has all the 1.1 improvements since it was, after all, based on 1.0.1.

... why they put in Netscape 7 instead of Mozilla 1.1? Why this sudden interest in AOL products?
You can, just check the Mozilla Keyboard Shortcuts [mozilla.org] document
:-)
Alright - problem solved then?
The Mozilla IE Theme looks pretty much like IE to me, and I'm using IE regularly.

Sorry, I thought this was all about movies in general and not video tapes. Stupid me... >:(

Blue aliens would be confused by smurfs.

Well, it's GPUL at least...
PC Users: Hate
:)
Console Users: Love
Like that?
Where do they recommend that? Must be a joke. :)
A more reasonable recommendation would be "Windows 2000 Server".
lol
:)
Simple - you aren't compatible with Windows.
Yes, and there's always the possiblity that this is a golden opportunity to make changes to Microsoft. If MS win to a large part in the antitrust case, do you all think it could be brought again just as easily?
It's sad to see the very unprofessional ProComp / Sun people drive this case to the point it's laughable, when they could do so much more.
Agreed.. ProComp is doing nothing else than making fools of themselves.
Interesting how they find the easiest things in Windows hard to find, when they do all this to get more users to *nix based systems.
Besides, the middleware control system is *definitely* intiutive or do they have a problem following this:
...
Web Browser:
- Use Current
- Internet Explorer
-
?!
The feature is also in the Start Menu root so MS couldn't possibly have made it more accessible.
Chalk symbol-free walls?
Yeah, I agree it *is* silly...
... but at least get the spelling of the header right. :-P
