I think that this will just be a very much discussed about topic, but nothing is going to happen. Sooner or later (if they don't already do) the government is going to realize that it just wont't work. They know that that would be a huge security risk, and they should know that the people (hackers) are always before the government when it comes to technology and knowledge.
And doesn't it sound a bit absurd, they remove our security to be able to provide security...
I would love to see Quake running on a 4.4GHz computer.
I doubt Quake supports dual processoring. It will only use 2.2GHz. But you can use the other processor to render a movie or something else at the same time... And 2.2GHz is plenty enough for Quake. My Amd K6-2 300MHz is just perfect:)

My Apache log should not look like that!!!!
I've been hit 1500 times in less than 6 hours! This is what terrorist attacks look like when their target is the web.
All hail M$ for their pice of bandwidth generating ****.

If MPEG-4 (would/will be)/is an open standard I don't think that will be a problem. I think it would be a great achievement for the open source community if everyone would use the same media standard.
Is there any software out there that would monitor the heat of the processor and shut it down (the computer) if it rises above a certain limit? That would be a great way to protect computers/processors from overheating.
But they changed it to 100 006 instead, to use this bug as a celebration bug. That's no fun! Now they don't have a 100 000th bug because they went and poked it with a stick...
"Now, I'm no biologist, but I think that means we are more capable of seeing data / information in 3D than in 2D."
I agree with that 100%. But the problem is that the so called "3D" images are displayed on a 2D display. We are used to interpret 3D and 2D data but what is 3D on 2D? It's not natural, which makes it slow and difficult.
That's just it! They are slow. And I don't only mean they usually recuire high-bandwidth lines to load up with an acceptable time, but the human mind is slower at processing 3D data than 2D. Presenting your data in a 3D environment requires much more from the human interpreter.
And the fact that they don't add any value is the second most important issue why they haven't been a break-through. The only real use for 3D models what I can think of right now are science models, ie. models of atoms or DNA.
But in our everyday lives we don't have the time, don't want and don't care about 3D environments.
I don't know if this really is appropriate for an SDK, but several of the online documentations for programs (ie. PHP Manual) have user provided comments which I think are usually the best part of the doc. They contain what users don't find in the normal documentation, and automatically completes your doc.
I strongly disbelieve that the number of bugs is increasing per build. The fact remains, that as they get closer to 1.0 the development focus is on the core of the Mozilla engine, and the stability of the product. They don't "care" about the GUI right now, as they got more important issues. The fact also remains that these bugs that get fixed in the code don't affect everyone. Someone might download a new release and won't notice anything new (because the bugs didn't affect him/her and there were no new GUI enchancements/fixes).
When I changed from 0.9.2 to 0.9.3, I noticed a new GUI bug, the titlebar had somekind of buffer problem, and there always where strange characters after the Mozilla {Build ID:....} text. But the stability had improved alot, and it hasn't crashed even once (honestly:).
So, the # of bugs is in fact decreasing all the time, believe it or not. The only thing that bothers me right now is that I have to stop my MP3 player when I start Mozilla because the Flash plugin wants to use the soundcard when it gets initialized. Solution: Start Mozilla when you login (before you start listening to music) and never close it:)

Hmm... I should read the Windows licence. It probably contains something like:
You may not swear when Windows or any of its programs stop responding, crash or perform an illegal operation.
Then install it. Quake runs on a 486 so you wouldn't have "any" problems on a P133.
I would love to see Quake running on a 4.4GHz computer.

Time can heal all wounds they say,
Were they present on this tearful day?
Watching in horror as lives fell apart,
Images rending our sorrow filled hearts.
An icon of success they have achieved,
Unable to be destroyed, or so they believed.
Crumbling down with so many inside,
God rest the souls of those who died.
Filling us with our most dreaded fears,
Let us never forget this day of tears.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the latest stable release the most used one, and the one that should get primary attention?

Are people really this lazy, or am I missing something?
To make a long answer short; Yes, people are really that lazy.

From cmdrtaco.net: "This whole section has been getting a bit of a makeover. Hang in there while the dust settles."
Kinda got a new meaning today?!
