Links, my favorite text browser, does everything w3m and Lynx do, but better.
Not everything:
* Table borders in Links give a very "dotted" impression, while they look fine in w3m. * Links doesn't handle SSL, w3m does. * Links doesn't seem to handle bookmarks or cookies, w3m and lynx do. * w3m has mouse scroll support, Links doesn't. * w3m handles frames, Links doesn't.
OTOH: Links (and lynx) does incremental loading. w3m doesn't.
Just out of curiosity, why start another distributed effort competing with distributed.net on the same contest? Why don't we all join one effort, and find the key quicker instead?
If any dcypher people are reading this: what's the reason behind this effort? D.net has a gazillion participants (well, some 50 000 active ones, at least), and will thus very likely find the correct key before any new effort (unless, of course, all those d.net participants continue to run RC5 instead of CSC). Not to mention that d.net already has released linux and freebsd clients, and d.net's clients are at least partially open source..
Actually, I like having everything in Netscape's right-click menu, especially "open link in new window."
An easier way to open links in a new window is to just click the middle mouse button on the link (instead om the normal left button click). Works in both netscape and KFM.
What's next, running strings on all binaries looking for obscene material?
Well... the word 'binaries' itself is on the banned list ( here), so I guess that would be unnecessary. If they do decide to allow linux, it would have to be source-only distributions. Wonder what Microsoft will say about this....:)

Apparently, there's another text mode browser called "links" that is not lynx, but I haven't found it anywhere yet.
Get links at http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mi kulas/links/
W3m can be found at http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac .jp/~aito/w3m/eng/
I just downloaded the very latest version (v 0.82) and it seems that Links does indeed have cookie support now.
I guess I should also clarify that by "doesn't handle frames", I meant that it handles them lynx-style, instead of rendering them.
Anyway, get Links at http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/
or get w3m at http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/eng
or check out a quick text browser comparison at http://www.zinescene.org/home/browser.ht ml

So? Since when do radio waves travel at the speed of light?

Ah well. Other horrible (and thus banned) words: mushroom. toys. leather. newsgroup. doom. web. shy. search. fist. glamour. beer. jenny...
Ouch. My head hurts.
