  1. SVG never worked in windows on Mozilla Gets (Beta) Native SVG support · · Score: 2, Informative
    Previously one had to use 3rd party plugins such as that from Adobe, and they only worked on windows.


    This is untrue as the plugin crashed in Windows. The release notes have noted this all along. Only a seperate build(branch) of Moz had native SVG support.

  2. AutoCAD & MapInfo on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 2

    I cannot do without Windows because all of my clients work with AutoCAD & MapInfo data/files. These programs are Windows only and I have no choice but to run Windows to earn a living. If I was a software or web developer, then my choices could include a *nix flavor, but if you use CAD, you prety well have to stick to a Microsoft platform.

  3. Re:Pop-up ads don't bother me so much... on Pop-Up Ads Begin To Face Serious Opposition · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Use Mozilla, it practically eliminates all pop-ups.

  5. Mailwasher on Anti-Spammers Wage E-War · · Score: 3, Informative

    Until this war against spammers is won, I will continue to use Mailwasher.

  6. ShareZilla on Andreessen on the Browser Wars · · Score: 3, Informative

    One way to gain market share would be for a P2P Mozilla project(Sharezilla) to be started. Good file sharing software catches on quickly.

  7. Re:"In a related story... on KaZaA Collapses · · Score: 2

    It looks like a Linux port is in the works.

  8. Re:Tabbed browsing? on A First Look at Netscape 7 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Flash 5 work fine for me on Mozilla RC2

    One plugin that is broken is the Adobe SVG plugin, read about it here

    As the subject states; this is not news for nerds.

  11. Re:Canada on Where Did All The Online Bargains Go? · · Score: 2

    Canadian online book prices are not as good as they used to be since Indigo has bought Chapters, making them an online book store monopoly.

  12. Re:Let us POST! on How Google Saved USENET · · Score: 3, Informative
  13. Patents Kill on Online Greeting Cards Patented · · Score: 1

    This may be be a little off topic, but I believe that this is worth a mention here:

    This story give you an idea as to how patents are not only inconvenient to us but actually kill people every day in America. This story explains how patents keep a quick HIV tests out of the American market, thus needlessly exposing many to a deadly desease.

  14. Re:On the human side... on Microfluidics: Miniature Chemistry Labs · · Score: 1

    Cooling a chip is great but,I wonder how many lives this will save by having portable labs available everywhere in the worlds.

  15. Finally a way to easily read Ebooks on Philips Improves Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    I cannot wait for the release of this sort of product. I hate reading manuals from the computer screen. Imagine being able to lean back in a comfortable chair and hold those ebooks in your hand and not having to stare at a monitor.

  16. One of the best ways to learn Linux on Making Linux Look Harder Than It Is · · Score: 2

    I would say that one of the best ways to learn and understand Linux is to have a look at Linuxfromscratch
    You get an excellent understanding and appreciation of what goes into a Linux system by installing ALL packages yourself. This is not for the faint of heart Linux user. It instructs you step by step on how to build your own custom Linux system.

  17. Ads work in Mozilla 0.9.3 on The Successor To Popunder Ads? · · Score: 2, Informative

    the ads on this page work in Mozilla 0.9.3 on Windows platform.

  18. Could Magic Lantern be buit into Windows XP on Symantec Will Not Detect Magic Lantern · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Would it be possible for Magic Lantern to be built into a closed source OS like Windows XP?

  19. Re:It was good in the day on Lineo Frees CP/M · · Score: 2

    I have to agree that DOS was relatively stable compared to Windows. I ran AutoCad (versions 10 thru 13) under DOS and crashes came only every few months. As soon as I began running AutoCad under Windows, crashes and lost data became almost a dayly occurence.

    I ran OS/2 for a while at home and it was as stable if not more that DOS

  20. Re:I doubt Microsoft is really bothered. on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Linux is not remotely a threat on the desktop - as long as it has multiple different GUI's and window managers and toolkits and all the rest, and a lack of a decent browser or office solution, it always will not be a threat.


    The latest Mozilla is more than decent.
