Mozilla doesn't support java, nor does it support the Java 1.3 plugin. I find this considerably lacking.
Mozilla should eventually come with a web configurator of sorts that would allow people to configure the browser before they download it.
As in, I want flash, java, and shockwave. I check them, and I download the browser with these things installed (be they plug-ins or otherwise)
I doubt the plugin manufacturers would have much problem with this (unless they were Microsoft), and it could usher in a new wave of recent-java browsers.
Once when I was about 17 I popped off all the
keys to my keyboard because my enter key had ceased functioning -- and there was enough cat hair underneath to build a whole cat.
If only lego mindstorms were around, perhaps I would have succeeded.
.. I also read that the binaries don't work on RH6, which might be the same reason they don't work on Slackware right now.

I suppose I shall reply to you in the same manner.
On the/. front page the article is described as a review of 'one of the O'Reilly staples'. In the first paragraph the author states he "feels silly" reviewing a book that has already been approved and used by so many. I hardly think that is passing the book off as new or unknown. I'm surprosed it has taken so long for this review to appear on/.
By "new and unknown" I am simply describing the actual format that slashdot takes on. It is the essence of slashdot to reveal the 'new and unknown' to the public, that's what news is. Unix in a Nutshell isn't new, nor is it unknown. It's not news. Slashdot can post whatever they want, but I can tell them when they're being lame.
Why exactly would the author feel silly writing a review unless it's completely unnecessary?
I would feel a 'little silly' if I went out and decided to go and review Michael Jackson's Smash-hit LP "Thriller" for Rolling Stone.
This makes logical sense.
Posts that complain about the very necessary advertising and Amazon/CDNow links are ultimately a waste of time. Without the ads there would be no/. If you feel that strongly about them don't read/.
Bah.. I hate that.. "this is my country love it or leave it"... "this is my slashdot, love it or leave it." That's a really pathetic argument.
I wouldn't visit slashdot if it wasn't interesting, I just noticed something extremely lame, namely the book review, and commented on it. You can tell me the worth of my comments, you can also be wrong.
You're doing your part to sufficiently accomplish both.
EXCITEMENT IN THE MOUTH!!!!

As opposed to "The Practice of Programming" previously reviewed, I see no reason to review a book that's such a staple in the unix community such as this, and pass it off as being 'new' or 'unknown'.. I search for a point to all of it, and basically the only thing I can come up with is Amazon.com credits for Slashdot and friends.
I can deal with commercials when they're clearly commercials, but I feel uneasy when commercials for books like this one start sneaking into the realm of 'actual interesting content'
There's a lot of money to be made by pointing at a very good book that a lot of nerds might be interested in, and convincing them to buy it through a money-making portal. At the same time, it's annoying to those of us who see it as a clear-cut way to make some money off of hard working geeks who may not know they're being led by the pied piper of geekyness - Slashdot.org.

Maybe we'll get interviews with a big fat blobby

Man, I swear, whenever I see the triology
interviews with that man, he looks like he's
going to pop right out of that thing.
