Don't forget Strip Poker for the Apple ][. Of course, I only played it because the game play was good.
Anyway, I don't think Wal-Mart wasn't around back then. If they had been around I'm sure they wouldn't have carried those types of games.
So, Wal-Mart sucks, and toy stores like Toys-R-Us are generally for kids so it's no surprise that they won't carry any 'pr0n' games either. I don't think it's a big deal.
The only thing I miss from IE is the auto fill-in when entering data in a form. That saved me a lot of typing. Mozilla's fill-in seems to only work on some pages, and then it only remembers one answer. IE lets remembers all of my answers to a single field.
Have you tried "Edit->Fill In Form" from the main menu? That's where Mozilla keeps all of your saved form info. It works reasonably well most of the time, but it's not exactly intuative.
I remember reading somewhere that work was underway to make form auto-filling more intuative, similar to what IE does, but I don't know if any work has actually been done or not -- it may have just been talk.
seriously, I know I'm trolling. But this post has to be among the worst I have seen.
Whatever. You're such a troll.

That only solves half the problem. So the UI is native, but the buttons / input fields / combo boxes etc on web pages are still not.
Buttons, input fields, and combo boxes on web pages can never be native widgets, for two reasons:
You can't apply CSS to native widgets. (border colors and sizes, onHover and onFocus styles, etc)
You can't control the z-order; native widgets will always be on top of all rendered content.
That's why mozilla and IE render their own controls, and I'm sure Opera will some day, too. (I've never used OmniWeb, so I can't say anything about that)
That's one of the problems with Mozilla -- the plug-in finder rarely sends you anywhere useful, and most plug-in installers fail to recognize Mozilla as a valid browser.
Here are some links to the java and flash plugin installers that just automatically work with mozilla (or netscape):
Also, over at mozdev there are some improved window icons worth checking out (Click the 'install icons' link and the bottom of the page) They're better than the default mozilla icon (blue lizard) because you get different icons for the different types of windows (broswer, mail/news, javascript console, etc.)
There are two possibilties. I can see this being used to make it easier to port Sega's and Namco's arcade titles to the GameCube. It may also be used to play GameCube games on other platforms.
Probably all of the above. AFAIK, the Nintendo/Williams Ultra64 arcade titles were a moderate success. I certainly dumped enough money into Crusin' USA when that came out. And Sega and Namco are actively developing for the GameCube.
Besides, Sega has a horrible track record with Hardware.
No, Sega has never had a problem with their hardware. Since Genisis, they've always been a step or two ahead of everyone else. Generally, it's their software that sucks, but it was a total lack of direction that brought the company down. That's why they're out of the (home) hardware business and only doing software now.
This looks to be a good fit for both Nintendo and Sega, though. Sega has had success with their commercial arcade hardware, but they might not be able to go it alone any more.
That's his opinion. I disagree. I find the fact that the Slashdot editors can't be bothered to read their own site far, far more lame than people who demand better service than that.
Well, this so called duplicate story has generated over 50 good or excellent comments (not including these meta comments) and some every interesting discussion threads. I didn't know this was a duplicate, and, apparently, many more people than you didn't know either. That makes you wrong.
Most people have better things to do than refresh Slashdot every 5 minutes and bitch about duplicates -- especially on a weekend, for crying out loud.
So what are you going to do if you don't get the service you demand from Slashdot? Raise a stink and bitch some more about another problem that doesn't exist, I suppose. Good on ya.
Cringely wrote an article back in March on why Nintendo stuck with cartridges for N64, and why they're using a proprietary mini-dvd for the Game Cube.
The answer comes down to how Nintendo ran (and probably still runs) its distribution system in Japan. The system dates from Nintendo's days as a card game company, and in it, the wealth creation was tied to people at various levels in the complex system of middlemen buying more product than they could legitimately use.
From what I gather, a proprietary media allows Nintendo to maintain its grip on the supply chain. By owning the supply chain, Nintendo can charge game publishers for each game produced, rather than each game sold to retail.
No returns were allowed. And since masked ROMs had long manufacturing lead times and assembly caused delays, developers and publishers were encouraged to buy lots of cartridges lest they be stuck without stock if the game became a big hit. For Nintendo, the game was already a hit if an optimistic publisher could be persuaded to buy lots of cartridges. Except for the biggest of blockbuster hit games, it didn't matter to Nintendo's accounting department whether the game was good or not, or whether customers even bought it.
Now, I'm not sure if that logic really translates to mini-dvd manufacturing, but Nintendo has always done it her way...
One thing's for sure, the mini-dvd driver certainly wasn't an engineering decision.
MR. GATES: Let me start out, really the reason that you see open source there at all is because we came in and said there should be a platform that's identical with millions and millions of machines, and the bios of that should be open to everybody to use, and all the extensibility should be there.

Does anyone care to comment on what features Netscape 6.2 offers that aren't in Mozilla?
Netscape has a spell checker
Netscape installs java by default
However...
Mozilla does image blocking (I'm addicted to this)
Mozilla allows a security policy for cookies (like IE6)
Mozilla has browser tabs
Mozilla has the "Link" toolbar (which Slashdot now supports as of yesterday, I believe)
That latest mozilla builds also tend to use/leak more memory than the Netscape releases. I don't know why that is, but if you like to have your browser run all day, or you need a spell checker, Netscape's probably a better choice. If you like to play with the latest browser toys, or you can't live without ad blocking, use Mozilla.
This guy I know got his game cube early, (Lucky bastard developers...) Anyways, at his birthday party everyone was playing Monkey Ball, and I guess it kicks ass. So I dug up some info a IGN to see what its like.
Monkey Ball? What kind of silly name is that? I think it was supposed to be called "Donkey Pong", but the english name got messed up in the translation.
Of course, Nintendo had everything running under the best possible conditions-- you have to wonder what the games will look like on regular televisions, instead of the HDTV screen they had up. The remarkable detail crammed into Rogue Squadron could easily get lost.
I heard a nasty rumor that the Game Cube needs an HDTV set to get 60 fps; regular sets will only get 30 fps. If that's true, Nintendo blew it big time -- IMO the most impressive aspect of the PS2 is it's fluid 60fps animation in practically all situations.
I saw a Game Cube demo in Seattle in August. I didn't get to play it, but the graphics looked amazing (on an HDTV set) and these little kids (6-8 yrs old) were going berzerker over that "Super Monkey Ball" game -- they just couldn't get enough of it! As for myself, at the ripe old age of 26, I just didn't understand...
Excuse me? The Code Red drink hasn't been around long enough to be prefered by programmers... don't you think it's far more likely to say that 'Code Red' was chosen simply to make people think it's more dangeous than it really is?
No. The guys (from eEye Security) who initially reverse engineered the worm were drinking Code Red at the time, so that's what they named the worm.
On item #4... maybe I'm missing something (you're the second person to say that Mozilla does easy ads for some time now), but my 07/27 nightly does not have this feature, as far as I can see -- submenus do not have an add bookmark function at the top. What am I doing wrong?
Ctrl-Shift-D then choose the directory. You can also drag the current URL into any folder on your personal toolbar (The toolbar drag and drop doesn't work as well as ole Navigator 4.x yet but I believe some good men and women are working on it) You can also drag the current URL into any folder in the sidebar bookmarks panel.
Jon Katz does movie reviews because people, just like yourself, read them and comment on them. Whether or not anybody agrees with him is irrelevant because any given Katz feature will pretty much always generate at least a few hundred comments.
I think the murder by hammer analogy is poor. Rootkits, and other cracking tools, don't seem very different from locksmith tools. Both are used to by professionals to secure property. Both can be used to circumvent security.
Is it illegal to build locksmith tools?
Is it illegal to own locksmith tools?
Is it illegal to publish information that describes how to build locksmith tools?
Is it more (or less) illegal to break in to a candy store using locksmith tools, as opposed to, say, brute force?
Are the locksmith tool makers liable when someone uses their tools to break into a candy store?
Should the laws governing the use of locksmith tools be any different than those governing the use of cracking tools?
Okay, from my reading of the Bill (PDF), it seems that the new offence is possession with intent. Means they have to prove you were going to commit a crime with the tool.
Still, that seems almost as bad to me. Is this not just an excuse to arrest someone they think is up to no good? (same as the marijuana laws)

And after fighting with Mozilla for three hours over whether or not ALIGN="right" meant to move the images in the table cell over to the right or not, I finally have up and just redirected all Mozilla hits to microsoft.com.
How many of Microsoft's Version 1.0 products have been ready for prime time? If you can think if one, let me know.
X-Box could be an absolute and complete failure, probably will, but there's nothing that will stop Microsoft from releasing X-Box V2 in a year, and X-Box V3 the year after that, at which point it will probably be worth buying.
They're certainly not going to run out of money before some version of the X-Box is a dominating succuss, and if history tells us anything, it will probably be version 3 or 4.
