I think the goal of the smallest executable was just an excuse for saying "here's something (an executable file) that we normally take a bit for granted. Let's really see what this is all about..."
Now that that is out of the way...would it be possible to implement this idea using microcode and therefore would it be possible to patch existing cpus that support downloading new microcode? (e.g. PIII?)
Oh Yes it does! Early versions didn't give you a selection for it, but if you knew how to edit the prefs files you could enable it. Other versions turned it on for you the first time a popup occurred (after asking politely). Latest has that and a preference checkbox for it.
As for image blocking, not yet, but probably soon I'd guess.
At least Dave Hyatt (and I think others) on Phoenix worked on Chimera. You can see the resemblence in the preferences. They even 'stole' OS X's slide out preference sheets.
Currently the Phoenix package still contains all/most of the Mozilla code that is being replaced. Therefore the size is ~25MB as you said. But when they finally remove all the cruft it should be about 8MB or so.
Also, same speed as Galeon, but still using interpreted(?) XUL. I think they've done great things there. And it's only 0.2!
Go grab a copy, and then while you're enjoying it, thank Asa Dotzler, Blake Ross, Dave Hyatt, and the other guys who are making this a reality!
Not sure about the others, but Dave Hyatt is/was one of the principles on the Chimera project and you can really see the similarity between these two browsers -- even to the point of the OS X style slide-out preference sheets. Very nice.
I second that. I even have an NT 4.0 Server at work that literally has been up for a year at least. I often wonder what people are running on their systems that cause all those problems. Probably IIS.
Of couse 98 is so bad I can't stand to use it anymore. And XP makes my eyes water.
The story said nothing about Microsoft being involved. It said "Microsoft's Technology,.NET". I seriously (and I realize several posts here weren't) doubt M$ is anywhere near this thing.
I don't think I'd trust a network protocol that has a web page that isn't even consistently viewable. Writing HTML is a lot simpelr than network programming, after all.
What does installing things off the net have to do with configuring the Desktop? Corporations do not have to succumb to being Big Brother to be secure. Set good policies, make sure the users have what they need to do their work, Listen to their users/workers, and possibly conduct random checks for compliance. This does not mean that they must totally control every nuance of every worker's environment. If IT cannot support this then each Department (that needs it) should hire its own Techie person to help. This is what the (big) corporation that I work for did and it works very well.
OK, up to this point I was trying to keep an open mind about this. But this is ridiculous. Hydrinos, once created keep, what, 'fading away'? Presumably continuing to radiate energy while doing so? And we haven't detected this because we aren't LOOKING!? Come on, people are looking everywhere for weird shit Every Day! (well, I get the no free H part, but the rest sounds like total crap)

Lots of discoveries happen that way.
That reminds me of a Paradox error message I got once.
"Application requested abnormal termination."
Huh? Is that like: "Hey, please terminate me abnormally!"
I know NOTHING about microcode.

Why would you want to connect a bunch of Dead, Wet, Duct-tapped people together with Ethernet?
Boggles the mind.
Chimera doesn't kill popup windows.
Oh Yes it does! Early versions didn't give you a selection for it, but if you knew how to edit the prefs files you could enable it. Other versions turned it on for you the first time a popup occurred (after asking politely). Latest has that and a preference checkbox for it.

Sorry, didn't mean 'stole' in a negative context. re-used, borrowed, etc.

(7) Profit!!!
Damn, missed out on that one again.

Nope, for me its Win2K, OS X and Linux...
Not to be a pain, but the question was about Browsing Windows machines.
Samba is used for Windows users to access the Mac files. It is a server, not a client.
The Browser capability has been added to the Finder in 10.2; others here are correct about 10.1.x requiring the exact share name and no browsing.
Do they say American Roulette in Russia?
No, Las Vegas
Yeah, but at what frame rate?
"That's not gonna grow back!"

Isn't that from some Monty Python skit? I seem to remember a Mr. Smoke-too-much as well.

...sorry, couldn't help myself.
Spelling simpler correctly is too...

Time to find another job. Any corporation that cannot even trust their employees to configure their own work environment is doomed.
Quick, someone call Webster.
Isn't that part of VFS? Are any other Gnome2 apps doing this yet?
That is exactly what it is...an Explorer window. So is the desktop, and the tray, and...I'm sure other things as well.
how well it works can't be interpreted from FUD.
For this case I think you need a new acronym. How about LIP (Laziness, Ignorance, Paucity)
