No it doesn't need Windows, otherwise there wouldn't be much point. The whole purpose of Wine and its derivatives is that you can run Windows applications without having the OS installed.
I can't see how you can say Mozilla doesn't do CSS right and then hold up IE6 as a better example, Mozilla's CSS support surpasses IE6's by a long way. You can do stuff that isn't even possible in IE6 with Mozilla, just try using some of the CSS2 selectors or position: fixed. IE took long enough to get the box model right.
They showed Click Online this morning (at about 5am). It's on BBC News 24 so I assume it's repeated several times. The whole program was basically dedicated to Linux, the Linus interview was just part of it. Probably about 20 minutes in all.
If I didn't have a nasty stomach bug at the moment I would have missed it...

Have you seriously ever actually looked closely enough at evolutionary theory to understand it? Your understanding of the theory seems more than a little flawed.
The theory itself is just going through a standard scientific process, through which such theories evolve into something which more closely describes exactly what is happening.
Your alien theory though nice, doesn't really explain the evolutionary processes that are going on now. It's really just a replacement god theory, where the amorphous god is replaced by aliens in space chariots. It's still just a version of creationism in the end though, as without evolution, how did the aliens involved into a species that could affect another's evolution?
I don't know where you get your religious zealotry ideas from. Science is a process where theories are constantly improved or disproved. All you have to do to slam dunk evolution is come up with a theory that more closely fits the facts.
So your witch hunt is little more than a straw man, an ironic one as well considering that's the kind of treatment given to philosophers and scientists by actual zealots in the past.
Isn't that a Windows "feature"? When you say you left Mozilla open, did you minimize it? When you minimize an app in Windows it swaps all its memory out to disk. Then when you maximize the app, it swaps it back into memory again. This is where your long pause comes from (Is it possible to override this?).
Linux on the other hand doesn't do this, and I constantly leave my Mozilla windows open for a long time and forget about them. This delay doesn't occur when you flip back to it.
Javascript window.open in links works fine with this preference. I've just been using Outlook webmail which uses that exact feature, yet have set this pref to block pop-ups.
"I was really annoyed the other day. I was trying to do some moderately tricky but perfectly legal CSS stuff. I wanted to have a bitmap as a background for a link. I didn't want to pre-render the text onto the button in a paint program, but have the browser render it in the user's default font. So I thought I'd just give the tag an id property, and specify its background-image and min-width (or even just width) in a style sheet. As far as I can tell, this should be the right way to do it. "
That's the problem, you don't know your CSS as well as you think you do. If you did you know that width and height should be ignored when used with inline elements.
The current (I think) head of BBC1 appeared on Room 101 a while back and put Doctor Who into Room 101. He said that he hates Doctor Who and the first thing he did when he took over was get rid of it and has absolutely no intention of reviving it. He ridiculed the fans of the series who keep attempting to get it revived as well.
So unless he's gone now I doubt if there's much of a chance of it happening (unfortunately).
This is perfectly possible in Mozilla and really easy to do. Just add a bookmark to google, then open the bookmark manager and rightclick on the bookmark to get it's properties.
OK, name a web browser with a resizeable preferences panel;-)
Um. Mozilla on Linux?
Okay, I asked for that. s/preferences panel/preferences panel (on windows)/
I think Windows (and perhaps Mac) is where this non-resizing policy is enforced. On Windows at least, virtually all browsers have fixed sized preferences panels.
Of course, the pref window hints the window manager that it has no resize bar, but it isn't enforced. On my WindowMaker, I can just resize it using Meta+Right-drag, or just ask WM to maximize the window. (Yay, WindowMaker!) However, the default size's fine for me.
I could try this (I use WindowMaker too) but haven't needed to resize the panel yet. It is possible that Mozilla leaves it to the window manager to enforce this, so you might find a different result with a different window manager.
OK, name a web browser with a resizeable preferences panel;-) They fit perfectly on mine. The whole reason this was done was to stop the developers cramming more and more options in (preference creep).
If they're not fitting on your display though you should file a bug, to show the UI module owner that it's causing real problems.
It should use your system colours if you use the classic theme.
I was talking about the specific case, not in general. When I arranged my mortgage a few years back I stayed at my parents home for a few months, and their credit history was listed on the report, along with items from people who had lived in the house previously. In the UK, the credit reports are associated with the addresses in which you live (including all occupants during a three year time period).
If he's lived at home within the past three or four years then his parents credit will be listed on there (which is what I assumed from what he posted above).
I'm in the process of getting a mortgage, so I got a copy of my credit report. I was so supprised to find out that about 40% of the accounts on the report are not my own. Most are my fathers, we have the same name, I'm a Jr. Anyway the information on there is so badly maintained it is scarry.
That's the way it's meant to be, they take your parents credit history into account as well, plus the residents of the houses in which you've lived for the last few years. So half the time if you're turned down, you may need to get your credit history to prove certain things don't apply to you.
That's because text-align: center should not centre block level elements, and if it does it is a bug in the browser. To center a table (for instance) you are meant to use:
It's a problem with Junkbuster, which doesn't support HTTP 1.1. You can go into the preferences in Mozilla/Netscape and choose Advanced -> HTTP Networking and tell it to use HTTP 1.0.
Commercial companies could easily use GPL'd code for a systems infrastructure though couldn't they? They'd just need to have open interfaces written in LGPL, and release any changes they'd made to the GPL code, e.g.
GPL Sources -> LGPL Sources -> Proprietry Code
The interfaces provided by the LGPL source would allow people to use the library in different ways. That way they get to keep their code, and provide a potentially useful LGPL library to the community.
I frequent second hand books shops frequently, as well as new book stores. In fact most of the second hand bookshops I know are small, independant and sell new books as well.
The existence of second hand books is good for authors whose work may have fallen out of print, without those bookstores their work may well be forgotten. As once you move beyond the big sellers, a bookshop like Waterstones may only have one or two titles out of dozens. It's a way of keeping your work in the public consciousness.
For instance M. John Harrison's Virconium books were out of print for quite a long time (or at least you couldn't walk into a bookstore and find them). There availability in the second hand market kept them visible though, so now they've been republished as part of the Fantasy Masterworks series. Along with many other titles that have bubbled under for years, out of print, on the second hand market.
If it wasn't for the second hand market I wouldn't have even started on some of the authors you like. It allows you to sample works you don't even find in libraries half the time, and then you can go off and buy everything you can find that is still in print.
It must be one of the best forms of marketing for authors out there, and has lead me to part with a lot of cash over the years.
But then if I download a binary closed sourced program based on your code it is not longer free, as I can't then amend the program I've just downloaded. How is that more free than the GPL? Or is your idea of freedom that the code is free for the packager but not the consumer?

Oh yes it is, it just happened to be based on version 0.6 of Gecko/Mozilla.
Netscape 5 wasn't based on Gecko, but it was never released.
Not yet it doesn't. That's why they've done a rewrite of the rendering engine (for easier DOM compliance).
Mozilla also supports MathML.
Javascript window.open in links works fine with this preference. I've just been using Outlook webmail which uses that exact feature, yet have set this pref to block pop-ups.
