I emailed Smile a few weeks back and got this suspiciously form-like reply:
Thanks for the message. Unfortunately smile don't use Mozilla, as we find
Internet Explorer and Netscape are the most common browsers used. I'm sorry
if this is of inconvenience to you. However, I've passed your suggestion on
to our Quality Review Team. Customer feedback is always valued and changes
are made as a result of this.
Disappointing, because ebanking is one of the few applications that keep me tied to Windows/IE.
On the other hand, the IRC client could disappear for all I care, and if dumping it would lose some of the bloat, I'd be all for it. Maybe the Mozilla dev team should consider making their product more modular, so components can be excluded.
You can choose which components to install. On the win32 version this is as easy as unticking boxes at the installation stage. I don't get it. Can someone please explain the problem?
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - An Inquiry Into Values by Robert M. Pirsig.
Yes, it is a novel not a textbook. However, much of the IT industry would do well to consider Pirsig's thoughts on the 'Metaphysics of Quality'.
when offered the chance to get a burst of pleasure the rats seem to comply almost without fail
Arthur C. Clarke referred to a similar experiment in his book "Profiles of the Future" (1962) Monkeys had push-button controlled electrodes wired into the pleasure sections of their brains. These monkeys would press the button twice a second for hours on end, undistracted by food and sex.
It was also noted that an animal would behave with similar single-mindedness to turn OFF any current fed to its pain centres.
Just a short drive from Penistone you also have such places as Upperthong, Mark's Bottom, Netherthong, Dick Edge Lane, Bent Lane and Marsden Hard End. The area is kind of a censorship black hole.

This seems to be another application of the Roke Manor Research anti-stealth radar technology.

There was some discussion last summer of how this technique might be used in conjuction with mobile phone transmitters to detect stealth aircraft.
