    Now, I'll be the first to say that we need a cohesive, third party, solid rating system for chips.

    exactly, I recently upgraded to a 1.6G and I still haven't figured out why. Basically it was for other motherboard features, but I seriously do not use any of that computing power.

    To the origional poster, use mozilla it's generally faster. I use it really quickly on my 800mhz laptop w/ 256M ram, I've never noticed it playing catch up. Granted I don't use CrapXP OS, but I do run KDE which does tend to eat 2-3% cpu constantly for assorted things.

  9. Re:then you should do something about it on Trek Prop Collecting · · Score: 1

    I can see your point but I have to disagree. It's more like a mutual fund, you dump your money into the pool and expect it to be used apropriatly. If you find out they aern't doing what you like, you use a diffrent pool.

    OTOH if you sent them a check saying "for WTC fund" and they used that for gun control, I would find that mildly disturbing.

    As a permanent BSD user (workstation/server everything) I have to say windows is alot harder than BSD.

    I spent well over 30 minuites trying to figure out how to get my network setup in WinXP when I tried it, and I couldn't for the life of me get IP masqurading to work. These are basic functions of the network stack, and they should take no longer than 3 webpages to figure out.

    OEMs ship windows because thats what thier users demand

    if only that were the truth. OEMs ship linux because of a great marketing department, legacy dos apps, and inertia. OEMs origionally shiped windows pre-installed because of some great price deals, and now they have to because of strong arming. If what you say was true, os/2 would have been shiped until at least the release of win98, which it was not.

    because its a peer to Internet Exploiter 6.0. I'm prety sure thats what was in the back of everyones mind for this 1.0 release.

    Until now IE has been better, now they have an equal number of bugs (if there was a bugzilla for IE it would have all those rendering 'features' listed as bugs, why is it diffrent when its mozilla instead of IE?). Come 1.1 and it will be better than IE.

  14. Re:95%? on First Reviews of Mozilla 1.0 Roll In · · Score: 1

    yeah, but now that NS is back in the game; AOL is finally getting rid of IE (they have been 'about' to do that ever since 97 or so it seems), and IE isn't the *ONLY* browser you can use to actually view web pages (as it has been until last year or so in moz development), that might start shifting again.

    I personally find IE having 95% of the marketshare disgusting anyway. If 3ds max has 95% of the marketshare, thats fine, as they have a great program. IE on the other hand provieded identical service to the competition, and won big because they cheated. The absolute worst is they completly ceased all forward development as soon as netscape was dead.
