Of all the samples, only the shoping cart works at all on Firefox1.04 on solaris. Everything else just does nothing and renders horribly. Even the shoping cart demo fails to render things properly, even when it works.
I'm running Firefox 1.0 on Solaris, and they all worked fine, albeit a bit slowly. I'm not sure what you're seeing. Perhaps one of your extensions is borking something? If your filtering.js files via adblock, for example, things would go very wrong, very quickly.
Errant homonyms aside, this seems to make a lot of sense...after all, Apple is just a spreadsheet shy of an office suite...although between M$ Office and Open Office, I find myself wondering why they're even bothering..
Because Office is prohibitivly expensive for many people, and OO.o is an evil, bastard child compared to a native Mac application.
If the state charges the manufacturer, the manufacturer will charge the retailer, and the retailer will charge the consumer. Ergo, the most efficient way to do this is to allow the money to pass through the least number of hands, and charge the consumer directly.
Martial artists. We're all over the place. If you've got to do something unpleasant, you might as well do it in a manner that minimizes the chance of someone else getting caught up in the mess.
The long and short of it is, we believe we can defend ourselves, or our loved ones, about equally well with a knife or a gun, but we also believe that we can minimize the risk of an errant shot by using the knife. Bullets, for all intents and purposes, go until they hit something, wether it was what you meant to hit or not. This is not true for the knife.
I dunno, if blasters are supposed to be "more random", how come Jedis are still able to block their shots?
I think what he was saying is that it is much easier to unintentionally hit a bystander with a blaster than with a lightsaber. The same is true if blades and guns; many people prefer an edged weapon because it minimized collateral dammage.
I would just like to thank the idiot that coded this as a slide show, instead of a rgular web page. Yes, it is much better for you to decide when the page should change, instead of letting me click when I am done reading. And going to the next page every five flaming seconds was obviously the correct interval.
And I hate it when people accept the notion of free market and competition only when they are on the winning side.
The Free Market is only a good idea when it is also a Fair Market. In the case of outsourcing to India, this is simply not true. American coders are faced with competition from people with access to equal education (fair so far), and a far, far lower average cost of living (unfair). So, it costs far more to support an American coder than an Indian one. This would be like forcing Joe's Hombrew Electronics to compete with Dell when Dell gets their components at a 75% discount, and Windows for free.
If the company (READ FOR MORONS: developers) do not feel like supporting the software, then THEY STOP.
And you can start. Or, at the very least, download the last, best build from some guy's FTP mirror, and keep on working. That is not an option with closed software. If you need a feature, and "they" don't want to implement it, you're out of luck. If you scratch your install CD, and "they" are no longer offering that product, you're out of luck.
Why is it that when you buy something in a store they give you a receipt of a merchandize but during an election you don't get one? Aren't you buying something for your tax money, a governor or a senator or a president?
I'm sorry, that privledge is reserved for multi-national corportaions and unions.
Since they're doing it because they see a buck in OSS, they can amend the tattoo to read "MOSTLY EVIL" or "NO QUITE EVIL". (If there's room, "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT EVIL"...)
Maybe they can do the same thing they did for the guy in Lord of the Rings who played Gollum. Have Shatner on the set acting with all the other characters and then CGI an image of how he looked back in the 60's on top. Like a virtual face lift.
They did basically this for Anthony Hopkins in Red Dragon; a digital 10-year facelift.
Peer to peer networks often remind me of one of my favorite bible verses (hey, it may be corny but:P);
"Rev.6: 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering and to conquer. "
That verse reminds me of peer to peer networks because the white horse represents truth and purity and that truth goes forth and conquers unstoppably...
Not to be pendantic, but the "White Rider" is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and is at least a demon, and at worst, the Anti-Christ. Although he appears altruistic, he subjugates the world under a false religion and government. Not exactly the image we want to be portraying...
By this logic we could say that parents who have children born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome can sue all of the beer companies because "no one reads those warning labels by the Surgeon General/Government anyway."
This has already happened, actually, in the Big Tobacco casses. In point of fact, at least one person argued, and won, that they had read the warning, but the tobacco company was liable, anyway.
There is a system-protected directory, which you need root access to write to, known as the "trusted applications directory." In order to put an application in this directory, you must enter the root password.
Any application run from this directory by $USER will have all of the permissions of $USER. This way, apps like mozilla/safari/office/etc can be installed by a trusted user once, and the users won't be bothered with a password prompt every time they want to save their homework or update their bookmarks.
Applications that run outside of this directory (or directories; you could have a system-wide and user-specific set of trusted dirs) would prompt for the user's password before they are allowed to write to the hard disk, and before they do anything that would require super-user access.
oops, looks like SVNclient wants to install X, and even though I already have Apple's X11 installed, I have to rm -rf/usr/X11R6 (that's what fink tells me), so it can install fink's crappy X11.
Install Apple's X11 package from the Developer Tools CD; that includes the headers you need. Then run "fink install system-x11", or whatever the specific package is called (it should give you the option when you try to install something the needs an X11). Fink, and whatever it's compiling, will then be able to see Apple's X11.
I still get an error with jEdit that tells me that the Mac OS Plugin requires a newer version (happened ever since I upgraded Java to the latest and greatest version).
I was experiencing the same problem. This is fixed in the latest development release.

If the state charges the manufacturer, the manufacturer will charge the retailer, and the retailer will charge the consumer. Ergo, the most efficient way to do this is to allow the money to pass through the least number of hands, and charge the consumer directly.
e.g.:
State-> $10 recycling fee
Manufacturer-> $10 recycling fee + $2 recycling facilitation fee
Retailer-> $10 recycling fee + $2 recycling facilitation fee + $1 fee collection cost offset charge
Consumer-> $13 total cost
vs.
State-> $10 recycling fee
Consumer-> $10 recycling fee
Looks like Chancellor Palpatine has asked the American Senate to grant him more executive powers... Go Darthie!
Wait a minute... Guess I'm confusing names in an otherwise similar reality.
Oh yeah? Then why don't I have a lightsaber yet, huh? Huh? Simmilar my rear end...

If we continue to marginalize "dorks" who read math books, then we're going to be in big trouble down the road.
I for one welcome our new, math-knowing, Finnish overloards!
And our math-knowing Korean overloards.
And our math-knowing... eh, forget it. At least we beat Portugal.

I'm not talking about a new media player or email client but some patch to the actual OS.
Dude, the media player and email clients are part of the OS.
