since only a quarter of you use it, it's not a huge priority
My, the attitude has certainly changed since Firefox was the minority browser. Back then, sites were evil for not taking minority browsers into consideration. Now, Slashdot is just fine ignoring minority browsers and writing their JavaScript to be bug compatible with Mozilla (and thus breaking in browsers that do not have those bugs)?
Who are you, and why are you offended? And if you are indeed offended, why would that matter? Arnie's own latino friends weren't offended, and the comment was never meant to be made in public. It was a private comment to other private individuals.
Actually, it took a sociopath to publish these things.
What's wrong with being a "pervert"? As long as you aren't hurting anyone, it should be fine. Does one lose one's rights just because one's secuality does not match yours?
Uh, HD porn has been out for a long time by now, and the chicks look fine. Well, maybe not the really old and tired long time porn actresses, but the cuties are still cute.
If I want tons of features and I don't want to use IE, I can just use Opera. I use Firefox because it's a lightweight browser that does nothing but browse and does it well.
Ah, but you are really contradicting yourself here. Opera, by default, is a lightweight browser (more so than Firefox, as a matter of fact). All those extras are disabled or hidden by default. The default Opera looks like a standalone browser, and you can use it as one without getting bothered by all the extras. If Opera can do it, why can't Firefox?
It is not a lie if you believe that what you are saying is true. Why on earth would Microsoft lie (knowingly say something that is untrue) about something silly like that?
Actually, Wii is significantly more powerful than GC or even Xbox. You are blinded by the MHz myth, but the fact is that the architecture itself gets rid of previous bottlenecks (such as limited memory), and generally updated performance.
You seem to be forgetting that Wii only needs to push around a quarter of the pixels the other next-gen consoles need to push around, since it doesn't support HD. In other words, you get vastly improved graphics - they just aren't HD.
I know that you are probably a Sony or Microsoft shill, so I'll stop right there. Needless to say, you are either employed by a competitor or a mindless fanboy desperate to flame Nintendo because they get all the positive press this time around.
So what you are saying is that because not everyone is capable of understanding every facet of rocket science, there is no such thing as rocket science, or there cannot be anyone capable of understanding every facet of it?
The thing is that Lebanon has allowed Hezbollah to keep doing what they are doing, and now Hezbollah attacked Israel, forcing Israel to respond. It's not Israel's fault that Lebanon and the UN have failed to deal with Hezbollah, nor that Hezbollah is firing from populated areas, which is the reason for all the civilian deaths.
Also as for who started it, Hezbollah kidnapped Israeli soldiers in Israel, the Israel went into Lebanon to get them back, and then Hezbollah bombed Israel. As I said, Hezbollah started it all. And it is a simple fact that they dropped the first bombs.
Majority of places hit where Infrastructure, most of which it would of been impossible to fire a missile from (ever seen someone try to fire a missile in an active commercial airport?).
The majority? Maybe, I don't know. But Israel has indeed hit infrastructure, to prevent Hezbollah from easily moving around. It's war, after all.
Most of the targets hit in the first days of attacks where in areas that not only Hezbollah where not there but where also in parts of the country where it would of been impossible to fire a missile from simply because they don't have that range.
If they were infrastructure, then again, Israel would hit those targets to cripple Hezbollah's ability to move around.
Israel destroyed the roads around the cities, then the cities and then told civilains to get out (making it impossible to do so easily).
"The cities" we are talking about were Hezbollah strongholds, weren't they? And destroyed roads does not make it impossible to easily get out. It makes it difficult to move around cargo, but people could easily get out.
All the while shooting at people that did attempt to flee
I don't think that is the case.
and then declaring that anyone left in the city is clearly a terrorist (which mostly was the old/infirmed or people with children who couldn't flee).
These people could indeed flee. Children aren't tied to the ground, you know.
They have fired on and killed UN forces, despite being told there where no Hezbollah in the area of the attack.
That's funny, because according to one of the UN observers that were killed (in a report he wrote before the incident), Hezbollah had positions in and around their base.
In cases like Qana the refugees headed for that area BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HEZBOLLAH there.
The second a missile truck shows up in a populated area the locals flee and have been doing so for some time. IDF claimed Hezbollah where there but used days old footage to prove it and then only told the truth once they where pulled up on it.
They did? Source?
Hezbollahs initial rocket attack was in response to an attack by Israel first
Actually, what happened was that Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers, and then Israel went after them. Hezbollah responded by bombing Israel. So Hezbollah dropped the first bombs over Israel.
and Hezbollah have been targetting military based areas.
Actually, they have been targeting civilian areas.
Israel have killed over 30 civilians for every one civilian killed in Israel. That is not factoring in the number of Hezbollah killed (which is quite low).
Yes, as I said, this tragedy is so much greater because Hezbollah purposely hides among civilians, to sacrifice them as involuntary "martyrs".
Saying that Hezbollah started this is a joke unless your memory only goes back a month. This has been going on for decades and Hezbollah initially was formed because of Israels initial attacks on Lebanon.
Why Hezbollah was formed isn't really relevant to the fact that this time around, Hezbollah started it all by bombing Israel. It wasn't until they started bombing that Israel was forced to respond.
You would also ignore the 1,000s of Lebnonese held in detention centres over the years i
Yes, it's a tragedy. Doubly that, since many of those deaths are caused by Hezbollah forces attacking Israel from civilian areas. They know very well that Israel will respond to fire, so why are they making their own civilians targets? Why can't they attack from somewhere in the desert where they won't get their own people killed
Like Hezbollah wants to defend its country, so does Israel. Of course Israel isn't toing to sit back, watch rockets hit their civilian areas and do nothing. If you ask me, this is a carefully plannet strategy by Hezbollah to create more victims, and thus get more recruits, and the world's sympathy.
And they did that by attacking Israel, knowing fully well that it would escalate the situation, and Israel would be forced to respond.
I know, "don't feed the troll" and all, but I disagree. It's important to respond to troll so that their lies do not stand without any objections.
So I honestly think that regardless of which is the better browser the best thing to encourage a more diverse web, with more sites optimised for a more general platform rather than just IE would be if the Opera devs just packed it in and started contributing to mozilla / firefox.
Yeah, who needs choice? It's not like anyone needs Konqueror or Opera. But hold on! It seems that people DO use Opera and Konqueror (or KHTML). Safari uses KHTML, which is much lighter than Gecko, and has about equal standards support. Opera is even more efficient, and is used on lots of mobile phones and other devices, including Nintendo DS and Wii.
Have any web developers out there ever been asked to produce a commercial site with Opoera in mind?
Inferior hardware in a cute package with a gimmicky interface outsells something twice as powerful.
So basically, it's DS vs. PSP? And DS outsells PSP between five and ten to one. Sounds like a good deal to me! The DS might be gimimcky, but it sure kicks PSP's ass!
Slashdot Mirror
Wii has eliminated huge bottlenecks that existed in GameCube, and the GPU is built from scratch. It isn't just a "slight" improvement at all.
You need to grow up.
Bye-bye, industry.
You don't even have to feel sorry for them. I certainly don't. But what this guy did was sociopathic to say the least.

But unlike Firefox, this is a very rare problem, probably caused by a plugin or something.

Maybe he does it several times, and you'll see the same pattern every time. The same guy buys stock, spam is sent, stock goes up, he sells.

So why can't you question something written by a human which he claims is the word of God?
So what you are saying is that because not everyone is capable of understanding every facet of rocket science, there is no such thing as rocket science, or there cannot be anyone capable of understanding every facet of it?
So do you question the words written down by humans who claim that it is the "word of God"? Or other humans' interpretation of these words?

I don't get these people. Why do they always ignore Nintendo? As far as I can tell it's Nintendo which has been predicted the winner, not Microsoft.
You forgot to check the "Post Anonymously" box...
1. Ubisoft stopped using StarForce.
2. How on earth is StarForce relevant on a gaming console?
If you had bothered to actually READ THE RULES BEFORE EDITING, you would have saved yourself and everyone else a lot of frustration.
