but you're forgetting about kids who know what they are doing. I've been better with the web than the average computer-using adult since I was 10. We don't need a stupid white-list, we need a blacklist that's enforced. People have tried whitelists, and you end up with a safe service that doesn't provide anything. NOT w00t.
This would leave business sites, which haven't registered in the.kids domain not open to children, and if they did get a position there, it would make them look dumb. Porn is not good for our society, and there's a lot of illegal stuff going on. I'd much rather make it inconvinent for all the porn folks than EVERYBODY else.
I have a feeling a.kids domain would not include enough good content, and it would be a waste. Most kids that are interested in junk would be over the age to be interested in "kid" stuff, and still younger than 18 (teenagers).
Get with the times, dude. Netscape, serious problems? no. Your logic about number of bugs to number of users is also insane. Mozilla reports more bugs than Microsoft does because the "Bugzilla" system is more efficient, and they report "bugs" which aren't really bugs.
For the guy who replied under you: Mozilla is about 10 megabytes, not 17. WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT NETSCAPE 4.X!!!
I help other students, as long as it's not discouraged by a school. I do think he should have paid attention to the rules of the school. Really though, this guy is still in school, and it might turn things for the better.
I hear good things about gatech, so I don't think you should outrule this school just because of one mess-up.
Getting a job that pays more than Cowboyneal because you graduated. This all would be fixed if the just sent the parents to college with them! Of course, they probably wouldn't learn anything that way either.
I really don't see whats so bad, he didn't get expelled, and he should have asked his TEACHER for help, not another student. Maybe you should consider that their team stinks more:-)
I'd pay $.25 per track if I got good transfer rates, the kind of songs I wanted and guarenteed connections. I'm sick of Kazza/Gnutella, you never know if you can get anything.
but I don't have cable, I'm just a download freak.
I hope Mozilla does inspire/force other browser makers to compete in terms of the user interface. But AOL/CompuServer are only using the rendering engine anyways, so the majority of Gecko users probably won't even be aware of the switch, and will continue to be content with the AOL/CompuServer GUI they've come to know/expect/love/tolerate.
I think at least half will notice a speed increase. Some fairly smart people (surprisingly) use AOL and Compuserve. AOL didn't get to be the biggest ISP by snagging all the moms in the US.
Mozilla 0.9.9 is better than IE6, in my opinion as well as others'. I doubt very much mozilla will fail the test.
AOL has been using IE for several years, and that's several years too many. Maybe their plan is to test with compuserve, and then use 1.0 for AOL, when it's done.
Mozilla is now ready for primetime, and I'm very happy AOL (Compuserve) is finally using Netscape.
We really can call it a browser war again when AOL switches... 41 million users will make an amazing change, and that will effectivly be 82 million more for Netscape, because it's also 41 million less on IE.
Good post, I especially agree with the last paragraph. Also, older songs which I'm sure are still copywrited are unavailable in stores. It's nice to download a old MP3 for you parents, and I don't like much new music either.
Maybe the RIAA shoudl try to please consumers, offer "mix stations" inside music stores with huge databases of songs, which you can put on your cd for a high price of $20. We all know they'd still be making a fortune. I still think it's completely legal to do that same kind of thing at home though.
I'm not trying to support what loki did. We didn't know about this stuff when Loki was open though. Some releases were just WAY too late, like heros 3, etc. It was refreshing to see tribes 2 released "only" a month later than the windows version.
because of loki's failure, nobody thinks games on linux are profitable, and they aren't if they get released months late.
True, I read the article completely after I posted. Still, merely providing a medium of exchange is not illegal. It's almost as silly as suing a cd-r manufacturer.
Look down to the bottom of the article, they just sued Technicolor too. I seriously doubt Technicolor did anything wrong.
How did the RIAA know that this companys' mp3s were pirated, and how did they prove it? MP3s on a local network are quite easily legit.
For example, they could make backup copies of their cds which are played by their employees, instead of them having to mess with cds.
Under U.S. copyright law, you are allowed to make "backup" copies of your media. This means that you don't give away the backup or the original separatly. If users of this network only played the backed up cds live, there's no case for RIAA.
Now I can undersell my custom built superior systems even more. Name brand pcs are way overpriced as it is. Hopefully I'll move more computers now though.
This isn't worthy of a slashdot story. Neither would someone's wasting money on Everquest stuff, you don't rate a story by how "good" it is, but if it's good enough to be a/. story. Frankly, I think it's boring.
I already downloaded the bare.i from the Slackware 8.1 "april fools beta" as is called on the slackware ftp. It's a 2.4.18 kernel on the boot disk, which is really nice. They also included SysV junk.
It's only 1.4mb, download it for yourself. It is in the Slackware-current directory.
This is at least the third comment about this. If KDE wants to not have everyone downloading it, they can put it on CVS! Public, or non-public.
When KDE puts it on their ftp, they are releasing it, it's not after the stupid release announcement.
I have a feeling that it would be overloaded even if./ hadn't announced it. Monday Slackware 8.1 beta was released, and their servers were down to a crawl, yet the announcement hasn't reached slashdot or slackware.com yet.
Someone else posted that writing wouldn't work for him, and I have the same opinion. Think about speed of writing, speaking, and typing. I for one can type much faster than I can write.
Fastest typing: 200wpm (though cowboy neal is said to be able to do 6000 using Nitrocoffee)
Normal speech: Faster than writing, Dragon says about 150wpm
Writing: real slow.

I got a shildt book, it's w00t. It doesn't use void main() very much though. Main should be int.

Sorry, your date is wrong. The earth is 6000-7000 years old, so the earliest country has to be less than 4000BC.

Yeah, if they could have pulled it off.
Many companies were generous, like Dynamax, id, and Interplay. Others were grudging to their own hurt.
They just switched to Windows2000 so their site isn't available any more. Of course, it must be the big unix corperations at fault!
With full quality, PNG is smaller than JPEG. However JPEGs get small fast without loosing much quality. PNG does have more compression though.
With a name like jpeg2000 it will probably be more accepted.
It's not free, it's not close to free! Of course so many companies think that if something is free, it's junk. No wonder we're in a recession.
