Serves the thief right for messing with a Mac type. Everybody knows they're unstable to begin with, and all it takes is a just a little push for them to go postal.
Yes well I'm sure I could write a browser that really kicks ass, if, like NS3 it ignores all stylesheets, screws up tables and frames and only parses a handful of tags.
Not that I actually use or even like earlier versions of Netscape; I just thought it was a very bold claim. Modern browsers seem to be superior in every way, except for speed and memory footprint.

As I do not yet own anything better than a Radeon 7500 these driver updates do not directly benefit me. Nonetheless, a big thank you to ATi for listening to those of us in the linux community and acting accordingly.
Whatever the equivalant of 'kudos' is to those who don't believe in karma, that to the people of ATi for their support of us linux users.
It would be great to see other hardware manufacturers showing this level of support.
Every component inside a computer has a finite Mean Time Before Failure.
This usually isn't a problem, since when a part fails, you replace it. No can do with obsolete hardware. You have to either fix it yourself (which may prove difficult if is the processor that's broken) or replace the whole computer with a different model.
We'll be seeing more of this as the corporations struggle to maintain their dominance.
They won't be around much longer, as their business model crumbles, but for now we still have little alternative. A few good independent music sites that run on a donation basis, but nothing has made it 'mainstream' as far as I know.
The problem is that it's idiots like copyrighted-file-sharing p2p users who provide ammunition for the RIAA, MPAA etc to put anti-piracy measures in place, and make all us anti-DRM people look bad.
That just ruins it for the rest of us who legitimately copy media for personal use.
This is absolutely wonderful for Linux 3D graphics.
I agree.
However I'm not so sure how results like this will affect the Open Source cause in the long run. It is slightly depressing with all our "open source is better" advocacy to find that the best drivers available, even after specifications have been released and OS efforts sponsored, are still the binary-only closed source drivers.
The idea of a brain that could do a lot more than we ever used it for, by very simple means, is an evolutionary impossibility - it could never have evolved. The idea is absurd.
And yet it is true.
Another reason that trying to explain human origins in terms of evolutionary biology is impossible.

you're on my foes list because apparently you whine about being on foes lists.
:(
d'oh
I'm not making many friends here, am I?

What, the Mac or the Mac user?
This is the third "cache" post though so it's f**king redundant as hell. STFU.
Awww, somebody needs a hug. Poor widdle anonymussy cowardiddy.
There there, trogre will make all the nasty repeating posts go away.
Hey!
How come I'm on your 'foes' list?!

Wow, the fastest netscape I've used to date is (IIRC) Netscape 3.x. All subsequent versions have been progressively slower.
Except this one, apparently.
I wonder how they got it so fast? They must have geavily modified the Mozilla 1.0.2 code because, compared to NS 3.x, it runs like a dog with no legs.
"Moore's Observation" seems quite fitting.
I have my SBLive 5.1 card working with the emu10k1 drivers. I'm happily watching AC3-encoded DVDs with ogle.

I thought that was the point of "Extrans" mode.

Hmmm, I think I've found another contradiction in terms.
Answer "YES" to the above and I'll get the old machine back off of him and be more like you guys and wank 24 hours a day.
I'm not sure what qualifies as "us guys", but what makes you think "we" wank 24 hours a day, or at all?

There aren't many left.

Ogg/Vorbis and all is great. But what I want to know is, can it play mp3's? :p
mp-whos?
To put it bluntly, this wouldn't have gotten a second look from someone's dissertation advisor if "she" had 'nads.
Just to nitpick, it's highly likely that she *does* have 'nads.

FWIW, I have been an extensive MS Office user for several years, and have spent the last six months trialing OpenOffice.org.
I find OOo much easier to use than MSO, and I can get stuff done faster. MSO just doesn't appear very flexible.
The only benefits of MSO to me are:
1. Inclusion of a pseudo-database (Access)
2. Ability to run the latest viruses (Outlook and Visual Basic macros)
If MSO was 'free', and OOo was payware, I'd still pay for OOo rather than go back to MSO.
Maybe he'll be working for sun in the mail room..?
Not likely. Bill, and the senior members of the board of directors will be unemplyable in the techology industry.
The Sun mail room would have too many waste paper baskets for him to rummage in and find code snippets.

Well, it won't survive in my business anyway.
I simply don't have the time to administer technically-inferior products distributed by illegal monopolies.
Yes it does, it just doesn't do it consciously.
Otherwise there is no way to know where a ball will land without first computing its trajectory.
Subconscious processing is still processing.
