Of course it's a big deal on./ because it's not Microsoft.
This is only a big deal becaues the previous version has a bug and this version fixed it.
It may be a convoluted piece of slow, bug-laden bloatware [slashdot.org], but it's not Microsoft,
Ok this is where I lose you. That link says that Mozilla is going to provide spam filters. How is that bloatware? Trolling? Got me.
so to the/. crowd, it's God's gift to software. By sheer number of bugs, it's buggier than Win2K!
Agian ya lost me. I use Mozilla every day. I havent found anything major. Well besides the bug they just fixed.
Before you mod me troll, I'm using Mozilla to type these words. After school is out, I'm going to back up my remaining data and low-level format my existing Win2K partition. Why do I use Mozilla? I use it because there are few alternatives out there. Konqueror? Please. Opera? If I wanted spyware, I'd stick to Windows. Galeon? Then I have to run Gnome, I'll keep my Afterstep, thank you. Chimera? Don't have a Mac (yet - got my eye on a PowerBook G4.) Guess that leaves . . . Lynx. Or (retch) Netscape. Or Mozilla.
Ranting??? School? Get a life. At least your school runs opensource. (maybe judging from the rest of your post)
Is why a revision point release of a browser is all that big of a deal. I understand this is/.
I belive they posted the story due to the story Saturday about the bug and the new release would fix it. AKA new release is out. Please refrence the older slashdot article.
Yea I know I'm probably feeding the trolls but what the hey....
What about a bullet wound? Small and clean going in. Big and messy going out.
Ok first of all a bullet is designed to expand and release it's engery in the form of expansion. Thusly thats why they have little holes going in and big holes going out as the bullet expands and releases alot of it's energy. Bullets that have a full metal case do not leave big holes at all.
The other thing is like many other people have brought up that this is smaller than the size of a cell and has the mass of of aprox 1 ton. I do not know how fast it is going but I saw a post that said 400k/sec. If it does not have enough frontal area or expansion ability (very small very dense) it will squish in and snap back on the surfance and thusly cause vibrations but the hole it would leave would be extremly small. It would also produce vibration as it traveld through the object and came out the other side but agian probably not do much damage.
Like that weapon they had in the movie "eraser" was total BS. It fired a.22 of an inch projectile at near light speeds. The projectile will not expand and thusly will not release much energy. Merely punch straight through both sides and continue on untill the engery runs out.
If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me/discuss it.
That has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen. The article is a lil short on details but this reminds of the article on LeBrea. the software to mire the MS worms....
This is pretty innovative.....sorry just my 2 cents.
Miss Janis Ian, Everybody seems to have a solution but nobody seems to be putting one into place. Will you lead from the front on this issue and start putting up your own website where people can pay for your songs to download and or buy your songs on a MP3 CD? Maybe if some hard evidence is shown to the record companys they will follow suit?
Well yea the broadband market sucks. In my little qwest controlled town 2 people where I work got switched from Qwest internet service over to MSN. They switched back in less than a month to Qwest with biz accounts that were more costly because MSN was down more than it was up. Qwest also offers crappy service to the local ISP's who try to lease the lines from them. The DSL lines like to desync and qwest dosent fix them they just point fingers at the local ISP.
We should all look into setting up a DSL-co op like thoes nice people in Colorado.....
Dear Sir, I have thought many times about this in my area. Only problem is most people are not intrested as it's too much work or too much money. Most of my local community does not even know what DSL is about. They have never had a broadband connect before. How were you able to unite the local community and show them the bennifits of doing this?
Just curious but where do they plan on deploying these people to? I would be very amazed if a few or all dont get stolen within a few weeks. Think about it? A 200+ game console and battery walking around and all you gotta do is beatup the guy who has it and run......maybe I just look at the dark side....
These guys make a great one... Does nearly everything you could want I belive. I do not know if it does engine calibrations but it does most of your design work for you. It's great for engine and suspension building.
This question has probably been asked 1000 times but what Linux Distro do you guys use and why did you pick it over the many other great distros? Did you develop or modify it in any way to meet your special needs? Do you have a cluster or load sharing enviroment setup on that distro?
Yes this is true but ALOT of end users dont know any better or arent smart enough not to or just dont care. I know they always say all the time not to do it but I still have end users trying to open virus e-mails (the virus *.exe is gone) and the dept director downloading mp3's to his machine. He stopped after that article I sent him on the internal mp3 server costing the company tons of monies. Like it matters anyways rebuilding workstations is fun.....
One of the guys I hang out with on IRC used to work for MS as a developer. He said that he is spoiled on working anywhere else now as they used to have catered partys every friday with free drinks. After hours they used to game on the company network. Full time employees also get major discounts on hardware and software.
I can only assume most devlopers are there for the "french bennies" rather than to do serious code.
The problem is on the digital battlefield there is no rules or consequences. Our network was taken down last week due to an DoS attack. All of the packets were spoofed, it's very hard to find out who took our internet connection out. Countries and people have no fear of what will happen when they take down a website. Untill this happens expect the "digital war" to esclate. For all our power and might we got taken down by 6 guys with plastic knives.
I agree with this totaly. I know few CS and engineering degrees lately and more and more who want the managment marketing and buisness degrees. If there is a problem it is that once we get bit things tend to go far. Then we will get bit agian and things will swing the other way untill we get bit. I only hope that we dont get another vietnam in the middle east.
Because of the cost of switching all of the PC's they have and training the networking and desktop staff. I work for a.gov right now and they wont even consider it because,
A)The cost of retraining all the desktop staff who NEVER learned any OS'es other than MS or hiring more B)Cost of retraining the networking staff or hiring more staff C)The ammount of users that would need retraining and or call the help desk 24/7
They have looked into switching but the inital cost is too high for now. If MS keeps up it's current bad pricing & security it may make them switch but I dont imagine anytime soon. My bosses need to have a red flag waved in front of them that flat out proves something before they do it. Untill then it's easier to compalin to the M$ rep than think about switching.
They have had radio ad's on one of the clear channel owned radio station for about 2 days now. Luke Perry says something to the effect of "I never thought I would make it this far dad..." or some sappy pesudo poetic junk that is supposed to peak our intrest. Needless to say the DJ's are making constant fun of it.
We have several(5??) Dell 540 Precision Workstations that are Win2K with a level 1 RAID setup for GIS. We run Disk Keeper on them and it seems to keep it up. For the most part they seem to be ok w/o trouble.
We have another one we use for a server with level 1 RAID and we have never ran any type of disk tool on it and it seems to work just fine but it is mostly used for uploading images.
In short. Alot of use Buy Disk Keeper if not dont worry about it or reformat and reinstall.

Honey can you move this wall over here? Then that wall over there and then this over there?
Later that week...
Honey can you move that wall back over there? Maybe this wall over here?

when can they make me one to get beer and clean the house????
The only question is now how long before Indiana Jones and the rest of the Star Wars films are released on DVD.
Yippie!

I can change I can change. I'll no longer be a sandy little butt hole. Sadam from Bigger Longer and Uncut
Sorry but it seems that MS still treats this as a PR problem....
Microsoft insists that such thinking represented the old Microsoft.
The proofs in the pudding....lets see how many more bugs come out.
