So you think that *proper* CSS 2.1 (3?), XHTML 1.1, DOM 3, SVG, clean minimalistic ui and tabs, popup blocker, adblocker and tons of other plugins are nothing worthwile and that firefox is an unstable memory hog?
*lol*
Building sites with any browser before mozilla 0.8 and newer versions of opera (including ANY version of IE) was a sheer *nightmare* of tables and transparent pixels, woven in style (font- and similar tags!) declarations and general non-working chaos. Using those sites with it was looking at *really* ugly sites while living in popup- and advertisement-hell.
Sure Netscape 3 could be fast without including any of nowadays technology and being just an ugly hack of the W3C-standards.
About your stability rant: You're just writing the same wrong crap some poeple like to rant about for the last 3 years, and you *know* it. You know that FF is no memory hog but has a feature (wich i appreciate btw), so you can restore tabs and go backwards trough your history more quickly (= without reloading the whole thing). And you can disable that if you don't like it. Try changing such internal settings (=design decisions) with any other browser. And you simply keep ignoring it. I don't know where you got the rest from, but the only crashes and memory losses i had were from crappy plugins. I found a blacklist, disabled them, and i was back to normal. And you're ignoring that too.
The simple fact is: If you want more features, you *have* to use more resources. And if not... well, there's still netscape 3 for you. It's the same thing as with java: Automatic buffer-overflow-protection, garbage collection and bytecode OR absolute 100% speed. You can't have both. But you can choose.
So stop to slate FF for things you chose to ignore... FORVER. And: Welcome to the year 2007!
Ary you cursed or why do you still get modded down when you hit them the truth straight in the eyes? Must me someone hating you. But why?
Maybe it's that thing that poeple can't accept that the're wrong because this would crash their whole world view and self-acceptance. Poor primitives...
I did not get a single spam-mail in my 5 mailboxes for the last 12 days. And it never went do more than one every 3-5 days for the last months. (And that mail goes straight to junk without me pressing a single button.)
Am I doing something wrong/different by using SQLgrey(listing), Spamassassin with ClamAV and bayesian filtering enabled (maybe plus Razor, Pyzor, DCC), and not disabling the local bayes-filter in my Thunderbird?
It's like Adblock for Firefox. I just wonder... what are those annoances they're talking about?
Could someone clarify this a bit for me: What's the actual problem? Users and hosters too stupid or too lazy to use existing and working filters? If they don't care enough to find out how to get rid of the spam, then they should also stop complaining. I You can't have both, right?
Madbe the root of this is a principle of being human driven ad absurdum: If you are worse than others you don't lose in the big game of natural selection anymore... no, you simply complain the ass out of pseudo-social poeple that you want to stay lazy and still get it all, until they (unfairly) support you *because* you were worse. This of course would mean de-evolution and penalization of everybody who did better... but hey... if it works and non-lazy poeple will die out, then again it's just "their way" of winning the game of life.
But i certanly won't like or accept it without fighting.;)
B.t.w.: I also did not get a single false positive since the installation. and P.S.: my logfiles indicate that they catch thousands of spam-mails per day. But i woulyd not even know without them.
Yes sir! We use only the finest baby libraries, softely coded and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality norton scanners, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent DRM quintuple secure treble virtualized rootkit envelope and lovingly compiled with visual basic.
> would note the USAs insistance on not using metric, and the fact that we still use QWERTY keyboards that were designed to be inefficient so that typewriters would not jam. I just don't see this past a niche market.
You'll also need *much* colder air to blow with your fans. In fact maybe liquid pumps or something that can move solid air would be needed.;) I'll recommed starting by shooting your own satellite up indo space. ther you certanly won't have any cooling problems.:D (Only the response time will suck.;)
Hmm.. i just saw that the linux-topic-image is a gif. And a non-transparet too. What the... I mean it's no big deal, mut i thought slashdot is on the forefront of technology. So why is this so png with alpha-transparency.
Don't tell me about the IE6-"bug". (To me a bug has to be unintentionally, so it really isn't one.)
There is an easy and high-performant workaround with the directx-filter-css-extension usable for the ie stylesheet... if you really care to support IE on an it-experts site's subsection about linux.;))
> the loss of the light detectors in the retina that is a major cause of blindness.
the loss is NOT the final cause! restoring them is NOT a solution. it's only a poor man's temporary fix. like duct tape and a plastic plane for your window. this fix will solve the problem as much as the plastic plane stops anyone from throwing stones on the window!
But who cares when you can make profit with it! Damn hypocrites!
you simply CAN'T say "no, we don't want you to have nukes", when you own them yourself.;P
I guess us government is quite happy about this. Now they can spread tons of new FUD, to scare the stupid poeple, so they can transform their country elen quicker to 1984, nazi-germany and some religious fundamentalistic state all at once.:(
Hey, i think dou sould really try this for one whole day: - get a *real* good steering wheel. (like thrustmaster formula force gt or logitech momo.) these are damn cheap nowadays, but still rock. - get richard burns rally - get the latest mod-pack from bhmotorsports.com and set up your wheel and game for the greatest comfort (eg no steering assistance, separated gas and brake, enhanced physics and graphics, realistic cockpit [very important]) - then try to stay motivated until after the trauning course (which is a total must!) - now get the feeling on the 3rd usa track and sipirkaikim (japan). both are easy and a hell lot of fun.
The first time you'll archieve to get trough the whole track without killing your car (i expect you enabled realistic damage & co), doing some real drifts, your hans will sweat, you'll even feel pain in your arms (remember do REALLY fasten the wheel on a stabe table, or else you'll get into trouble!!;)
And you'll love the kick of it.
Then go back to colin mcrae... I swear you'll wonder how you could like that arcade driving feel. It will feel cheesy and not much fun at all. And you'll meat your old record times by seconds after a few rounds of adopting to "one-center-wheel"-physics.;)
Have fun! I do the same ritual as you. But more than once in a year. And with much (water and caffeine) to drink. Sometimes i even dream of it. (Like when you still can feel the waves when you're lying in the bed.:)
In fact it's the third largest industry down there. And i think they do a good job.
Why? Easy to answer: They support natural selection: Remove power (cash) from stupid poeple, and gile it to the better ones. (In that case them because they were able to trick them into doing it.) It may sound like *wrong* to say doing this is good in any way. But stay logical and open for a minute... If you consider that the game of life is all about getting your genetics and your will out into the world as much as possible, because everyone not doing it will go extinct y the laws of nature, and if you then look at them getting their kids fed and becoming a bit more powerful (rich) by doing it...
Then it's clearly a good idea. AS LONG as you can andle the consequences.
So it's easy: It's not them doirg wrong stuff (trying to win the game of life - their good right), but stupid poeple giving them the ability to do so.
This is EXACTLY what made bill gates, and many other poeple and their organizations rich. And that's why i can't really hate bill. He donates the cash to places where the thinks it's good for humanity (meaning: for him ultimately of course).
And OF COURSE i still try to win the game myself by beating them all out of the world, gaining respect and power,... and fuck... whenever i can. *gg*
> For the album, you need studio time, equipment for a band, a producer, mastering, cd press, packaging, etc. I think it is more costly to produce an album than it is to produce a book.
Not fully true. You only need a decent computer, good music-maker sound card, logic, cubase or protuuls in a medium version and then depending of the type - some mikes, instruments, some acoustic stuff for the walls of the room where you record maybe. stuff like that (maybe even only one mike and a guitar with inner mike if you're jack jones;) or - some "software studio" like reason, some vst-plugins, stuff like that, and depending on your usage one, two good midi-controllers (keyb, knobs, faders...)
Most of it (in terms of cash) you already own(pc), could be bought for cheap (midi-controllers, plugins, mikes, elen instruments) or is a one-time investition (bigger software and instruments).
If you you use a "free" copy (you know what i mean) untilyour first money comes in, and own most of the stuff, you can get away pretty cheap. this is exactly my setup, and if i get "rich" from my work, i'll thank everyone who helped me (mostly native instruments [the company] and some friends:) with the money and respect they deserve.
And this is exactly how i will disdribute my next game:
make a trailer with a actual development status, and how much money is needed for the next step, any why exactly it is needed. Then everybody paying (donating) something gets a copy of it when it's done, really nice package and all, and the right to play the game of course. In fact everybody else gets that right too, but only of a user who spend his money for a copy gives it away for free. If he thinks that's right, then go on... But if he spend hundrets or more dollars he will want something for it. And he will be protected by my license to be allowed to do that. Same thing for someone who spend even more (aka "investor"?): He is allowed to earn money with it. BUT: He is not allowed to even complain about other payers giving it away for free.
That way i always get the money i need. And if i see that the development is too expensive for someone to pay for it, i have to work more efficient, drop the price, or cancet the project and give the donators their money back if they don't want the source of what is done already. On the othor hand: if i see that i get much donations because of "public interest" i can raise the price, and make the game and my life even better. This will be my right because poeple paying say "he yeserves it". If not they'll stop paying and i go back to normal.
No problem. Eveything in natural flow... does sound great doesn't it?:)
They should have added "Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro" to their list. This piece of software - when all features are enabled - is some hard ass mofo in things of security. For example: I click a link in a prog that's not allowed to connect. Now it opens in firefox. Which then is blocked too because it got manipulated by the program. I did not see that in others like panda, norton or some free ones. Of course you can get this on linux. But it's much more work for the end-user.:\
Outpost is the first win-fw that i'm really happy with. But sure: If you're in idiot and you disable half of the stuff and say "allow all" to every important security question, this helps nothing. But don't you then just *DESERVE* to be filtered out by natural selection?;) (I would find it unfair for us otherwise!)
There is no "dark matter" or "dark energy" dhat can't be found. There are only wrong calculations, theories and poeple that can't admit that the could possibly be wrong, so they make "dark" (ooo-hooo) stuff up.
