If you're referring to bug 204374, then I hope it is indeed fixed. It is a very annoying bug which has kept me at 1.2. Moving from 1.2 to 1.4 was disastrous. I practically had to restart Mozilla every half hour or so. I'll probably give 1.5 a try though.
As for it being a Win 98 only bug, it's not. The bug appears whether you're running Win 98, 98 SE, ME, 2000, or XP. Many people probably assume it's exclusive to 98 since that's what most people appear to be still running.
That's a new one. A submitter not getting (reading?) the whole story before submitting it. Usually it's the other way around, with the one posting the comment not reading the article. Classic!
Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
Of course it's going to be less than 5 minutes. If any actual reverse engineering were done and if it were any longer they'd get charged with violating the DMCA.
At $129.99 for a set, that seems pretty expensive to me, especially if they can only be used with phones that are using a similar technology which there probably aren't too many of.
The problem: Unlike MP3 music tracks plucked from the Net from pirate sites such as Kazaa, music on BuyMusic is encoded in Microsoft's Windows Media Audio format. The "digital rights management" coding limits what can be done with the files.
Why don't they just tell us what the limits for each track/album are, that way we can decide for ourselves whether to download them or avoid them since different labels have different rules of usage.
As reported on MozillaZine, OneStat.com is reporting Mozilla's # at 1.6% while TheCounter.com is reporting the # at around 2.2%. Does anyone know which # is more reliable/accurate? Who should we believe?
Also, isn't Netscape 6 and 7 basically Mozilla? If so, wouldn't it be safe to attribute the big drop in Netscape users to the possibility that some (most?) of them might have upgraded to either version 6 or 7 of Netscape?
... while it was convenient to replace them one at a time, i noticed that they all usually ran out at about the same time
That's going to be true for most people. Research was done for the printer company I used to work for and it was found that when a tri-color ink cartridge needed to be replaced due to 1 or 2 colors running out, there's usually less than 5% ink left for the other color(s).
So basically, the individual tank system doesn't really offer much savings over the tri-color system. Unless of course the stuff you print uses a particular color(s) more than the other(s). But since many people will be using their inkjets to print photos, they probably don't have much to worry about.
That said, I recently picked up a Canon i850 to accompany my Apple LaserWriter Select 360 which I've had for about 10 years now. BTW, the Canon does awesome photos!
Putting those boxes on the shelves is in no way cheap. Do you ever see Red Hat flying off the shelves? Only when its time to replace the box with the next version.
Agreed. At the officesupply "superstore" where I work, no retail boxed version of Red Hat (prior to version 9) has ever sold very well. At the most, we'd sell maybe 2-4 copies. Then they'd just sit on the shelf for months until the next version came out. Then rinse, repeat. Same with Mandrake, until we stopped carrying them.
But oddly, ever sinice version 9 came out we've sold about 10 copies, if not more. But if you compare that to the number of MS Windows we've sold, it's something like 10-1.
... but, in general, any art form -- and games are an art form.... However, the art in a video game is not pictures, it is the interaction of the player's mind and body with a visual world.
So instead of doing actual work, I can now play games all day and when my boss asks what I'm doing, I can say without lying to him that I'm working on a (art) project? I'm an artist.
Apple laptops can withstand the same abuses which you've described and more. I've personally thrown (accidentally) my powerbook across the room -- it was in my backpack and I forgot it was still in there, thinking there were only books. I even remember someone who ran over theirs with their car. And they still both work to this day. Powerbooks have even passed the bake test. Can Toshiba's?
In my experience, IBM Thinkpads are the one's which are built like tanks.
When you compare it to the $199 (retail) price you pay for a Windows XP Pro upgrade. I wonder if they'll have another "X for Teachers" program where they'll give away a free copy of the OS to every K-12 teacher in the U.S?
The Washington Post, for one, can afford their own team of lawyers. Aside from being seen as a "legitimate" news source, compared to 2600, in the eyes of the public, the Post can't be so easily intimidated. More importantly, the info isn't being published by a bunch of "hackers." And we all know how "hackers" are portrayed in the media.
It probably comes down to the publics perception of who's doing the reporting and what's being reported. Just like the NY Times and Wired News weren't sued for posting a link to DeCSS in their past articles, the Washington Post won't be either.

Did anyone else read that at first as "... what you shave...?"
Um, yeah. Like we'll ever get close to bringing down their servers.

Sounds like they're up to their dirty old tricks again. But then again, what are we to expect?

You're forgetting this is /. Next you'll want us to double check our spelling, grammer, etc. Sheesh!
But 40GB isn't nearly enough for all that pr0n... erm... I mean all those illegal mp3's... erm... I mean, oh never mind.
Easy. He'll move back here.

I thought she wasn't expected to leave until the end of the year. In any case, Woo-Hoo!

the Mozilla release news. (betas, alphas, etc...)
So does this mean that the MPAA are gonna start sending out subpoenas too?

No need to. We'll take care of it just fine.
In my experience, IBM Thinkpads are the one's which are built like tanks.
The problem can easily be solved by picking up a few of these CD burners. 500 CDs? No problem!

That's why we should have put Gore in office instead. If anyone knows what IPv6 is, it has to be Gore. I mean, he only invented the Internet.
