I tried it on my computer. I didn't see any significant changes, and as others have pointed out, there was not much information on what exactly went into this release, but great job in making advancements.
This is one way AOL will finally wither and die. When people start realizing that it will cost more to send/receive emails to users on AOL, they will finally stop accessing those accounts for email thereby reducing the number of subscribers. Sure, it will take a while for this to actually happen, but don't give up hope.
That is because Firefox/Opera/Safari are the better browsers stupid. Where have you heard about better innovations and features? I haven't seen much change in IE since Netscape's downfall, unless you call opening more security holes for hackers a feature.
I would hardly call it an ironic twist. Fine, it was a glitch. It will be fixed next time around and eventually they will get it right. When it finally works like it is supposed to, the average person receiving the 'screener' will not go to great lengths to pirate the copy.
The fact of the matter is that no matter what you feel about DRM, so long as the fat cats in Washington and can be bought out, more and more companies are going to do their best to employ/use DRM to protect their content/product and that is the truth.
Only after reading this article did I see what color badge my team mates were wearing. It is true that contractors might get less benefits than regular employees, but fortunately, at my company we don't distinguish that much between permanent employees and contractors. But then again, I guess it is all in your manners and culture.
That's because you have forgotten that they purchased one of the best anti-spyware company on the market (Giant) and slapped their name on it. How soon we forget.
Who the HELL has asked him to create Office for Linux. I thought the whole reason, so many people use Linux is to get away from Microsoft products. So, why is he having to so harshly say no to something no one would want anyway?
The "news/stories" get printed on/. first, and then the said company of the story either tries to figure out what where the story came from or they then get the idea from/. and start working on it immeediately.
.... develop our first Evangelion...
For a moment there, I thought, you were talking about a Evangelical christian or something. You know, to have a robot spread christianity.:-)
Well, passing the law is one thing...enforcing it is a whole other thing. How are they going to monitor all these transactions that happen? And as someone else mentioned, which state is going to be the one to collect this tax. And all this at a time when a new tax system proposal is gaining prominence? Good luck.
As the article suggests, all the early adopters are already running Firefox. Now it is up to these folks to spread our little fox, because it does not have the advantage of coming preinstalled and tied into the OS, and besides, who's to say these numbers are accurate. Who is this WebSurf whatever...what is their motive, how much analysis have they done, and why. So, many questions.
I feel pity for the RIAA. They are trying *with some success* to paint themselves as the victim. Why is it so difficult to understand that this is not the way to win your user base. The problem is exaggarated by the media also. It makes it sound like everyone in the world is pirating stuff. There are lots and lots of people that refuse to use a pirated copy and would much rather pay for stuff. When will they learn
I know of quite a few people that still use dialup or have no internet connection. Then there are all the various factors of complexity...and seeing all this, I don't know well a web based distribution system will work.
If the people filing the claims, online or otherwise even care about this issue. So, what is it to you? First things first, let's get the places hit by the hurricane, cleaned and operational. Then you can worry about what site does or does not run on what browser. Sheesh.
This should be the sole reason to love America. The scientists and great minds come together and solve a problem. That is why America will always be ahead of other countries technologically.
As has everyone else, I have preached FF security and installed it on every machine I repair, but I download FF for my own machine several times over the year, as I clean my machine and re-install Windows every couple of months or so. So, does that count as one download or several?
I have always wanted to try out on my Intel box and my dream is finally coming true. I hope Steve learns a lesson from this and does not put DRM in the official version
They all copy features from each other. I hate to say this, but neither OSS and most definitely not Microsoft has come up with anything original. The real question that you should be asking is, how much has all this helped in terms of competition. We now have a browser (Firefox) that rocks and gaining support. So, what if they copy features. Imitation is the cheapest form of flattery.
Most users systems will not be able to handle it and if any corporation deploys this(probably those still on Win 95 or Win 3.1), it will be sure to turn off the all these themes and such. So, the only users that will see and probably use them are the only that don't know translucent from non-translucent anyway.
Yes, I am sure some will buy it for the eye candy, but I am not sure if there are that many people that will just jump up and upgrade, especially with the DRM and all the other junk that will be installed by default.
What in the world is going on?
First, the senior level executive from Gator goes to work for Homeland Security (head still spinning from that one).
And now, Microsoft is in talks to buy Claria?
I smell something fishy. Suddenly, the HSD will be buying all things Microsoft, in the name of anti-terrorism and patriotism.

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.
and that is why, our liberty is slowly being taken away.

In other words, shortcuts will work like they are supposed to now. I have always wondered why Microsoft screwed that up.
...Which is why, I say, we start by sacrificing you. That must count for a whole lot of less people :)

Ok. I will bite.
No. We haven't. YOU may have, but not me. So, it is entirely YOUR fault.

You have to keep asking yourself, Monday of which year? and where are the APIs for this?
