I'm sure you do realize that mozilla and IE save bookmarks/favorites differently. IE uses individual files for each favorite, where as mozilla uses one file that is basically a webpage itself to hold all of your favorite website needs. There just isn't a practical way for mozilla to use IE's bookmarks if you consider how many profiles mozilla is run on that DON'T have IE.
If you use the Luna * theme for Mozilla Firebird, run some special customizations with the UI, it'll look EXACTLY like IE (put the location bar in it's own dialog, add a go button, get rid of the search bar, switch the stop and refresh buttons, add the bookmarks and history button, and you've almost got yourself a direct copy (without the sponsored media button and a search button -- but you already have a search bar that you got rid of))
Making toolbars moveable has been slated for AFTER Mozilla Firebird 1.0, so at least you know they are on it. But there are so many programs that don't have moveable toolbars that your argument is invalid anyway.
Regarding making a non-Microsoft Internet Explorer, I think that is a horrible idea. If you can't get used to the Options dialog in Mozilla Firebird, then you don't deserve to be called a teckie. I know some pretty slow people that fell right into that, and away from IE's checkbox heaven.
*Luna does not yet run under MF 0.7. It does run under 0.6, though.
I point everyone to NameProtect. Their NPBot hit my page a couple of times before I told it not to. Basically, it scours your website and looks for songs. It then collects the links (not the music) and tries to get a bounty from the artist (?) by showing you that someone is sharing their music. It's other business model is that it can be contracted to find your music on websites.

The trobber, while being one of the worst-named browser features, is the thing up in the upper right hand corner of your browser that "throbs" when the page is loading. In IE, it's the windows logo.
It's off by default in Mozilla Firebird 0.6 (although on in the newest nightlies) because the stop button is mutualy exclusive with the throbber. (i.e. when the stop button is enabled the throbber is throbbbing, and when the stop button is disabled the throbber is stopped). You can view it in Mozilla Firebird by going to View -> Toolbars -> Customize...
It's funny, but if you click on the bugzilla picture on the new website, it takes you to bug 52094 (paste http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52094 in to your address bar): hyatt should give ben $50.
Since I think you are talking about Joshua Redmond, I just want to let you know that back when Wish was released, he was rated (don't ask me how, I don't remember exactly -- I think it was a contest of some sort) the number 2 sax player in the world. He might sound like MUZAK to the untrained ear, and Tears in Heaven might sound a be a little corny, that doesn't mean that he doesn't rock. However, I don't think I can say anything that will change your mind.
And you are damn right I dropped names... in the same way that geeks 'round here drop languages they can program in. It's shit you put on your resume. I played with him, him, and them. It's kinda like what you did with Billy Cobham (who?). Also, there is almost always somebody better than the other guy.
And you should know better than to argue musical tastes. It's not like I'm advocating Kenny G (whom I can't stand) -- we're talking about renowned pros here different strokes for different folks.
If I spelled John's name wrong, you ought to tell his website that they got the domain name wrong too.
While I'm replying, if anyone is reading my flame here, go and pick up anything from the Chick Corea Elektric Band. Akoustic is good, but Elektric is better.
My personal idol, Michael Brecker. My fav CD is Two Blocks From The Edge. On there is Delta City Blues which shows Mr. Brecker's extraordinary control over his overtones... It is phenominal!
Also, try Joshua Redmond's Wish. He playes with (among others) Pat Matheny who is always a treat. I know it might sound corny, but you ought to listen to their version of Tears in Heaven. Tasty!
Also:
Any GRP All-Star CD is worth your money. It's like having every big-time artist under the GRP label playing in one of the tightest big-band's ever. I'm just surprised they could keep their egos in check!
Dave Grusin Presents: West Side Story is a remake of the original, but (in my opinion) is better than the original soundtrack.
Hope someone found these helpful.
P.S. It is always the best to get CD's of people you have played live with. I have played with Patitucci, Jim Widner, The Jazz Ambassadors, and other less-known yet still stellar guys.
They kept self-justifying their obvious addiction to games by comparing playing games to watching TV. They claimed that because it's interacting, it's therefore better for you. I found that claim faulty. That's like saying eating candy all day is good for you -- because hey, it's better than smoking crack all day. While that statement is true, it doesn't make eating candy all day a good thing.
Also, am I the only one that thought those pansy Europeans yelped like little girls?

Unfortunately Microsoft will change how NTLM authentication works soon because of this, and the Mozilla team will be forced to change.
I know you got modded Funny, but if you are serious, you shouldn't be too worried about NTLM now on windows. Maybe in the future, when they get it under Linux, though.
See, they just use the Windows dll, and if that gets updated, Mozilla should just be able to get things done.
What will the new static import facility offer developers?
It lets the programmer avoid prefixing static members with class names. People really want this, so much that they implement so-called constant interfaces.
This is a very bad idea: interfaces are for defining types, not providing constants. The fact that [your] class uses [certain] constants is just an implementation detail, but it "leaks" into the public API of [your] class. Not only does this confuse the clients of this class, but it creates a long-term commitment. Even if you re-implement [your] class so that it doesn't need these constants, you still have to implement the interfaces, as clients of [your] class can now depend on the fact that it implements [those constants].
The static import facility offers a clean alternative. It lets the programmer avoid qualifying static member names without subtyping. It's analogous to the package import facility, except that it imports static members from a class, rather than classes from a package. Here's how it looks:
import static org.iso.Physics.*;
Note that this works whether Physics is an interface or a class. If it just defines constants, it should definitely be a class rather than an interface.
I think this is wonderful, and will probably be overlooked. But I know lots of guys who use implements ClassConstants, which is just messy. This way we can just import our own constants packaged up for modularity, without letting clients know, while looking good understandable at the same time.
I know I just ate a big pile of PR, but these changes seem good from a developer's perspective. Once 1.5 goes final, I'll probably re-compile using some of these new features.
Wrong, it was based off of the Quake 1 engine, but added the same things that id added into their Quake 2 engine, so it looked a whole lot like Quake 2.
This is why we say that Elite Force uses the Quake 3 engine, but Half-Life uses the Half-Life engine.
HL makes a world class gaming platform. It's just an operating system for games.
I wholeheartedly disagree. Half-Life was a wonderful game. It was Game of the year in almost every gaming magazine that year. The next year, there were so many bad games that numerous Game of The Year descriptions cited the fact that they wanted something more like Half-Life or maybe even Half-Life again!
Half-Life was such a phenomenal game, that it became the ideal development platform for mod's first and foremost because of its HUGE user base. Everybody and their mom who played single-player computer games had Half-Life. If you wanted the best exposure you could get, make a mod for Half-Life.
There was also the added bonus that VALVe didn't just drop their product on the world and count the Jeffersons. As many know, they included patches that fixed game play performance, added mods, solidified their own mods, made (in my opinion) the best non-broadband network code ever, and then supported the popular mods.
Counter-Strike eclipsed Half-Life because of the replay-ability inherent in multi-player games. That doesn't mean that Half-Life was one of the best games many people have ever played.
And they are dirty about it too. They use popups in img tags which exploits a somewhat-old bug in gecko to get around its pop-up blocking. Here's the bug:
If you search for an address in Yahoo, it doesn't give a link to a map of that address.
Actually, New Yahoosays it will do maps. It's a slightly different syntax, but as a slashdotter, I'm sure you'll adjust.
Yahoo's "Local Business Listings" feature seems to be better than google's (I've never used it before -- my town is technologically declined). Yahoo's 94089 pizza returns more pizza places near sunnyvale CA, where google's similar search on pizza 94089 only returns 1 place. Yahoo's links are sponsored, but you can easily find the rest of the pizza places by following the "More pizza listings" link.
Now, I'm just pointing this out for friendly information. I'm totally backing my google. My favorite feature is the fact that they are inherently good. =)

I already do. It's only when I go to work and sometimes use IE that I notice that huge page-long banner on the side.
