MP3 is a proprietary format. They buy the rights to the MP3 format, and charge any site that distributes MP3's a "license fee" similar to the one that Unisys tried to levy against websites that use GIF's.
But Ogg is not, so everyone can (and should!) just switch to that.
It's entirely conceivable that GIFs are still used because Unisys didn't want to push people towards PNG. I can imagine OGGs "succeeding" in the same manner.
All praise the mighty lizard... for the first time, Mozilla has displayed the PNGs at http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngs-img.html flawlessly. Good work, Mozillans!
Now that's a good idea. Along with a note saying why you're doing it (Amazon boycott).
I've often thought it might be satisfying to mail money directly to a musician after Gnutella'ing one of their albums-- and let them decide whether or not to share it with their publisher.
Having used Opera heavily for the past few months, I have to say that I now definitely prefer it. Especially now that Opera 4.0 has a (optional) "taskbar". Plus this taskbar displays which pages have finished loading-- try that, IE!
Also, doesn't an MDI take up less memory or something? Which means more sites open at one time! Yay!
Just give it a try-- it's fast, (fairly) stable, and the most standards-compliant released browser out there. (Well, I've heard good things about iCab, but I don't really know it)
I can write a web page using whatever HTML and CSS and be fairly sure it'll appear fairly close to what's expected-- things it doesn't support, it'll ignore. With Netscape 4.x, such a cavalier attitude is very likely to crash the browser.
I want Mozilla! Guess I'll be sticking to Opera...
Why are we allowed to complain about closed-source software, but not open-source? Netscape, who sponsors Mozilla, should listen to what its users have to say! If you don't have the knowledge or time to code, complain! Otherwise, we'll end up with another EMACS (hard to learn, bloated with developer features).
This means that a PNG can have varying levels of transparency. So a PNG of a penguin with a fuzzy shadow behind it will look beautiful on both black and white backgrounds. (Assuming you find penguins beautiful)
I'm going to have to let go of the bitterness... I assumed it had been given up. Yay!

Bizarre (but not tiresome), beautiful, funny. I love it. You should too.

Javascript gives you:
* Rollovers!
* Popup windows!
* Links that don't display their URL!
* A slower browser!
Pluses:
* Forms that change as you fill them in.
* Javascript games
I keep Javascript off. Most sites can handle that.
By ignoring those ads you are denying them revenue! You really need to click on each one to make sure the sites get paid.
Tsk, tsk.
That article is undoubtedly referring to IE5/Win, which is a completely different browser to IE5/Mac. IE5/Mac is very compliant.
I like how he equates having a life with playing video games all night.

...not to support "trusted client" systems... they're just bad news.

Man, I don't know what this has to do with emulation, but you're right: Leisuretown is beautiful!

Congrats to the IceWM team. Something I don't hear people mention in comparing WMs that makes a difference to me:
"Does the WM work well if you like to keep everything maximized?"
This is what's kept me away from NextStep clones and others that have big menus that are quickly covered up by my windows.
Anyway, just my 2 cents.
