That wasn't flaimbait, that was a sarcastic response _to_ flaimbait.
Here goes my karma, but who's counting now anyways: Stupid fucking moderators, should really have to graduate kindergarden before being allowed to post/moderate on/.
Yeah, but that's the point, if you don't like it you have no call to use it, so don't. Doesn't make it a bad thing since obviously quite a few of us find it indespensible.
Yep, like a rock. Been using Moz on XP pretty much exclusively for over a year now, been totally stable since about 0.9.7 or so. Haven't had a single crash since 1.0.
Probably true for the most part, but I would think that there are a large number of 'normal' users would be more interested in the space saving features of a flat panel over a CRT, and I think this would be the biggest selling point to your average user, not the difference in quality as you stated.

Moz unuseable with DHTML? Um, stick to the standards dumbass, not the IE standards and you'd be just fine.
Um, untested...You don't consider 3 YEARS of open public testing and bug tracking to be testing?
I know you're just flaming, but you're also a fuckwit.
My last DB server, which was the back end for a moderately high traffic site (~.5Million hits a day, ~1million db hits a day), running about 80% capacity for the last year straight, was up for 11 mths before we replaced it last week.
Win2k my friend.
And whom supported it that whole time? Me, the web application developer.
Sure, we _could_ have paid for a 'rock solid *nix system' and a couple of admins to go with, but my raises over the past couple of years sure would have looked dismal.
It's called TCO. Sometimes, in some cases, nix isn't necessarily better, or at least there's nothing wrong with Win IF you rtfm. Guess you never did! You should try it sometime before slamming WinServer users.
Oh, never got nailed by Nimda or the red or any others either.
You'd actually be helping the standards effort a heck of a lot more by dropping NS4.x support. No, I'm not saying move to IE. I've been using mozilla as my target browser for over a year now. Wonderful side effect is that everything I write automatically works fine in IE and Opera. Haven't written a browser based code fork in over a year!
You'd be surprised I'm sure. Yeah, the gov here has an ass kicking amount of bandwidth, but that doesn't mean that any individual government agency necessarily has that big a pipe to the internet.
Actually, the government agency my company has a contract under (agency to remain nameless) just slowed their main website to a crawl by implementing ISA server on top of their already overly bullet-proof hardware firewall system. Wouldn't have been a big deal if they knew how to set it up properly, but they didn't. They've created quite a nice bottleneck for themselves, which unfortunately means customers which use our commerce site (hosted by us) aren't getting to us since their site is a dog...
Ah well, as usual the gov has more resources available to them than just about anyone else, but hasn't a clue how to use it!
Scratch that, finally just got the pics to pull up. Posting was a bit misleading ehh? 2 monitors my ass, that's just 2 HALF monitors. WTF good is that?
Except any lawsuit I can think of that MS could invoke would be pure FUD. Of course, +40billion behind the wolves, with a threat like that I'd run too. Right or wrong, these developers can't afford to win.
Well, gee, 'probably' is good enough for me then. So if I download more than my cap from my ISP that hasn't been enforced in the modem (a 'soft' cap) I should expect the FBI to show up and take ALL of my equipment, rather than just terminating my service and possibly sueing me for the cost of lost bandwidth? Come on now, you don't think this is a serious waste of the FBI's resources (your money by the way)? Especially when there are other standard ways of dealing with this kind of misuse? It's not like someone hijacked a T3 of theirs and began selling it off to their own 'customers' or something like that, these are just average users.
Have you ever heard of the cable company (as in tv) sending in the FBI to stop joe blow stealing cable? Didn't think so.
Think about the precedent this is setting, think really hard for a minute...
This makes no sense at all. These users did what, broke their licensing agreement with their ISP? How does this give the FBI jurisdiction to do this? Where is the criminal behavior? Where is the law stating that it's illegal to tamper with this ISP's modems? Why wasn't it up to the ISP to SUE these customers themselves to prove wrongdoing based on an AGREEMENT, not a LAW.
INAL, is there a lawyer in the house who can shed some light on this? This just screams of abused/misused powers, unless of course there's alot more to the story than we're getting...
Unfortunately this article is very short on the facts surrounding the actual technology involved in taking the picture.
I have read about this before, but most of the details aren't coming to me so I won't even try to pass them on and I don't seem to be able to find an article on this at the moment, but I do know that it took a very, _very_ long time to expose it. Can't remember the exact number but it was at least a full day.

Now THATS flaimbait.
Just because you worship linux doesn't mean you're right by default.
Ditto here. Dev for moz and it just works everywhere.
I haven't written a browser based code fork since I started developing for moz first!
Yeah, but that's the point, if you don't like it you have no call to use it, so don't. Doesn't make it a bad thing since obviously quite a few of us find it indespensible.
Anyone have any experience with Mozilla and XP?
Yep, like a rock.

Way more expensive, and there are no production models as of yet...I.E.: No pudding to find the proof in.
No flash? Say what?
Um, upgrade to mozilla and get a linux flash plugin, the beast doth exist!

Where'd you get your data that the public doesn't want this?
Who'd you ask?
You don't think Sony has done market viability research on this?
Sorry, but you totally come across as a moron here.
Wow, the fish sure can't spit that one out!
A rare piece of insight indeed.
Listen up kiddies.
You'd be surprised I'm sure.

Just curious, what does July 4th have to do with canada?
FYI this is the US's birthday, not ours. Ours was on monday thank you. (I REALLY hope you're not canadian)
Yeah, virtual hosting by host name is fine and dandy, unless you need to do anything through SSL.
Do you know where this url would end up?
https://sitename.company.com
You'd think it'd end up at sitename.company.com ehh?
nope.
It'll end up at www.company.com.
Why?
Well, host headers are encrypted under SSL and don't get read until the request has already been routed.
Fun ehh.
Scratch that, finally just got the pics to pull up.
Posting was a bit misleading ehh? 2 monitors my ass, that's just 2 HALF monitors. WTF good is that?
So, 1600 x 1200 on a 13" monitor would be better than 1024 x 768 on 2 13" monitors?
Maybe if you've got some pretty fantastic eyesight!
Personally, I'd rather not have to pull out a magnifying glass just to read the screen.
Except it's only slash people assuming the use of this is for games (which wouldn't be very useful).
This was designed to give you more screen realestate on a laptop regardless of what you use it for.
Shitty feature just because it's not so hot for games? come on now, laptops aren't so hot for games period.
How about giving credit where credit is due?
