Let me say XML namespaces. Why bother being part of a standards group and actually help write the standards and then fail to implement them properly in IE5. XSL is another technology that is not implemented correctly.
I rather have a company not supporting a standard than a bastardization of a standard.
The orginial P2 had the same problem with AGP, when it came out, and several other technologies. Several chipsets later it worked fine. Many of the K6 boards just needed bios updates and AMD release a miniport AGP drive for the K7, becuase AGP was running right on some boards.
The last I heard Intel doesn't plan copper until they switch to a.13 micron process.
If you extend the int and fpu scores on an Athlon to 1100 Mhz it will actually be faster than this Athlon killer. Besides Willamette was suppose to come out at the end of 1998, they're way behind.
If you read a print ad you'll see those benchmarks where done using twice as much cache that was also running faster which does increase the benchmark numbers. If Motorola used these in production, it would be great, but they're have enough troubles getting above 500 Mhz.
A browser shouldn't give you any leeway in html code. It should followed standards to a t. Sure IE currently supports more standards, but what good is it if it doesn't care if you don't have a closing tag or if XML namespaces is handled totally wrong.
As from personally experiences IE 5 is slower and crashes on my computer more than NS.
I know DIA doesn't have their computers connected to the web. And they are connected to CIA, NSA, the Pentagon and bunch of other places. Of course they is a lot of stuff put out on the web which by itself isnt classified but when used together it is. Too bad DIA runs NT, they never get anything done.
sidenote: The melissa virus actually got onto some DIA computers because someone brought a disk from that was infected, which they arent suppose to do.
And no I don't work for DIA, I just know someone who does.

The K7 is fairly overclockable. I know a 500 can be clocked to a 700 and I've even heard peole getting them up to 800s. MAD designed this thing to ramp well.
AOL has a history of not messing with other ISPs it buys. It mainly buys other companies for their products and names. So I wouldn't think anything would change. But who knows.
I've put up a temporary mirror and list of mirrors. I'll remove it in a few days so enjoy it while it lasts. I also zipped up the entire contents so you can download it for later reading. From what I've read its really good. The url is:
The US has never spent most of the annual Federal budget of Defense. Even at the height of the Cold War, when Reagan was catching up from the dangerously wussified Carter 70's, Defense never consumed more than 35 or 40 percent of the Federal budget. Of course, it really doesn't matter. You should spend what is necessary. A newly-freed Eastern Europe and a much-diminsihed threat of nuclear war are both worth a lot of billions. Your numbers a way off. Carter spent the average of 5% of the budget on defense each year of his term. (in 78 it was 4.9 and in 82 it was 5.3) Reagan spent about 6.2% of our budget on defense, his later years it the % began to decline. Bush spent even less than Carter % wise. We were fighting a ground war overseas, for most of the time in two hemispeherically separated theatres. Of course, it was very very expensive. The Cold War, however, was never that expensive in terms of a percentage of the Federal budget, or of the GNP. Yes it was. In 1979 the debt was 34% on our GDP by 1992 it was 67%. No, totally wrong. First, NASA is obsolete and mostly useless. Private companies will soon so far surpass NASA that it'll just be another very expensive joke. First of all NASA has done and is doing a lot more to improve our way of life than most agencies. No private company has really done anything to try and take its place. NASA and the USPS are the only two agencies that bring in money to the gov for their services. IRS is required to do it so they don't count. We did not 'create' any of the dictators you mentioned, or any other, for that matter. Sometimes we dealt with them when our interests coincided. Sometimes we hoped we could convince them to open up their countries. We also allied with Stalin during WWII to defeat Hitler. Do you think that was a bad idea, too? Actually we did put most of these people into power and turned our back on them or made them our enemy when we found them to be in our way. That is why so many people hate Americans. We cant be trusted. Our past is full of backstabbing more so than most countries.
And people donating money to colleges to get a building named after them or more often a honorary degree deserve it? I'm sorry but if colleges only ave them out to people who desreved it then it wouldn't bother me as much but colleges give out degrees left and right. Just so they can get good press or money.
Honorary Doctorates are a waste of time. Sure Linus is a smart guy, so are a lot of peole but its not fair to those people who spent 8 years in college and hundreds of thousands of dollars to earn one (if you'll lcky a company will pay for 1/2 the costs).
Wipe out VA and you'll be typing ip addresses to get to your favorite websites.
There is a little known government law which rquires contractors and agencies to have offices to be within so many miles of the DC. The result a lot of things are based in Maryland and Virginia which into turn makes it one of the worst places for traffic.
If the XML parser is put into the OS somewhere, then the application a request for a certain piece of information and waits for that to be sent and request again.
English maybe popular but other languages are just as important. Cutting out groups of people because they don't know a language just ain't right. Its just another form of discrimination.
I like to know where in the world you can get a full version of Nt for less than $89. I know a few software site, can't remember the names, that sell copies of Red Hat for about $10. They just grab RH from the web site and burn a copy for everyone.
Not everyone can download Red Hat either. Linux is large is you download everything and beginners really don't know what to get. Some a box copy is a good way to get RH and other Linux distributions out to more people.
I know some scientist from Japan are trying to get soome Woolly Mammoth DNA to bring back those guys. But wouldn't cloning the endanged species such as Pandas be a better idea.
No I don't I'm just saying it not the perfect solution. If you want to destroy MS you've got to get rid of all of their source code, their drones, and their main HQ.
Wrong. Microsoft would be majorly hurt yes, but they do have other divisions located outside of Redmond.
They one thing I hate is all of this world domination crap is that I don't want anythig to dominate the world. what's the problem in having 4 good OS of relatively equal market share, plus the clones of each?

The Athlon has a lot in common with the Alpha. Its sort of the x86 Alpha if you think about it.

While a lot of people at Slashdot do use non-MS OS the legal definition of a Monopoly is that a company controls 30% of their market.
As for IBM, they create alo of great stuff. They really changed a lot about themselves, not everything just a lot.

But aren't Beta Testers for this purpose considered part of Corel? Basically they're are employees that aren't getting paid.
Well, they beta contains a lot of things that Corel made specifically for Corel Linux. They probably meant it to cover their extensions.
Knowing the Linux community they'll correct it soon or you're hear people bitching about it forever.

Most of these new additions won't be included in the normal release of Mozilla and probably won't make it into Netscape.
The IRC client is written totally in javascript and xul, which means its small. The new necko "network" library allows this.
