  3. Why? on Firefox News Roundup · · Score: 1

    Why makes Safari better? I've never used Safari, so its an earnest question. What features/polish/whatever does Safari have that Firefox lacks?

    I guess Firefox needs a spell checker... Um Yea. I don't see one installed. The number of posts of people like the parent there who are superior because of thir spelling ability usually drops when I am using OS X whose text areas boxes have red underline spell checking.

  5. And Debian! on Firefox News Roundup · · Score: 1

    Not to mention Debian. Firefox 1.0 was in unstable the day after it was released! Not that that will stop people from making stupid jokes about how Debian has XFree86 3.xx.

    I guess there are a lot of people who are just tired with IE. Having a tool as well known as a web browser to get all this attention for a v. 1.0 release is pretty amazing. Normally this type of welcome is reserved for a big company major version release.

    After the browser war ended, the real loser was the consumer because they got a stagnant product. But now with Firefox getting all this press, I wouldn't be suprised if IE starts getting much needed improvements soon.

  12. Re:Time to Upgrade on Fedora Core Release 3 Released · · Score: 0

    Whenever I see things like this I'm glad I dumped RedHat.

    apt-get update
    apt-get dist-upgrade

    One reason Debian users don't care much about the installer is they do it only once.

  13. Re:what were they using? on 4503 Electronic Votes Lost in NC · · Score: 1

    after one machine was configured to store 3,005 votes instead of the expected 10,500

    I think its nothing to do with the memory available. The devices can be configured to accept a certain maximum number of votes... presumably the size of the voter list for a particular station. This would make sense as a way to limit the amount of manipulation one could do by hijacking a particular machine

  14. Re:Math time! on SCO Puts a Cap on its Legal Expenses · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not quite....they have reached an agreement with the lawfrm to cap their bill at 31m. Not that they will fire their attorneys and call it quits once the bill hits 31m. Their attorneys may get a little less enthusiastic once they hit the cap, but the litigation itself will continue.

    You are making the right move - vote your conscience!
    I never understood people who said this.

    The libertarians have barely 580 people holding elected office nationwide. A vast majority of them aren't even lawmakers, but members of the school board, water board, and such things. If you took every member of town, village, city and borough councils and promoted them to the US senate they still wouldn't have a majority.

    This party has no legislative experience, an unproven record, basically nothing but promises.

    Why does your conscience say you should vote for them?

    I agree with some of the LP's stand on things, but I'm not going to appoint someone with no track record of any kind to an important job. If they were campaigning for the local town council, I'd take them seriously and give them a second look. But now they're just a bunch of people trying to get attention. If they want to be taken seriously, they need to start small. Till then they don't deserve any attention from the media and should stop whining.

  25. Re:Don't get too excited, people on Medical Care Gets Outsourced Too · · Score: 1

    India is also the place where the locals bring their own sharps to the hospital to avoid contamination from inadequately sterilized second-hand needles. They've also got a really major AIDS problem.

    Maybe to some small clinic in a remote village. Not in any decent hospital. And this might shock you, but the US is not the only place in the world which has good hospitals.
