  1. Re:This version is buggy on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think 1.1 fixes many of the glitches or bugs from 1.0, although it did have a glitch the first time I ran it. You might check out the forum at http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=2 415 to discuss any issues you had installing or running the new version.

  2. Not complaining, but gave me two crash messages on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 2, Informative

    I love Mozilla, the browser and email client are awesome and so much better than anything else. But before it even finished starting it gave me to error messages about some DLL. Then enigmail is complaining at me too. And why are 2 mozilla shortcuts added to my desktop? A cool new feature: view selection source. You can select some text and view the source just for that piece of the page. And tabbed browsing still rocks. Control-click a link or after typing a URL in the location field to open it quickly in a new tab, or hit control-T to pop a new blank tab. I just wish you could control click on the links in your toolbar.

  3. my spidey-sense says on Spider-Man 2002 vs. Spider-Man 1992 · · Score: 1

    This movie will suck, as will Episode II. But I'll see it if only for the first half which looks more interesting, when he is learning about his skills. But I think this year as a whole has worse movies overall than recent years. I'd take an animated version of Spiderman any day though, for example the Batman cartoon series vs. the crappy Batman movies. Or this Scooby Doo movie coming out, case closed.

  4. Georgia Tech's CS Department is full of idiots on Georgia Tech Cracks Down on Learning · · Score: 1

    I was a physics major and took an intro programming class for fun about 10 years ago. They never taught anything, including the debugger, so my first assignment didn't compile but I turned it in anyway. I was subsequently threatened to be expelled from school by an idiot professor in the CS administration. He didn't have a clue. I went to the instructor and explained, and he immediately understood. Computer Science as an "academic" discipline needs serious help. I've since learned programming on my own over the years and have done professional simulations and consulting work. Learning programming in a class is a total joke and a waste of time. Don't be a CS major.

  5. better evidence: no mental gravity on Playing Ball in Space · · Score: 1

    Simple experiments here on earth prove the exact opposite conclusion, that we depend on the external forces acting on us even during mental imagery. Have someone lie sideways or upside down and their imagery and performance is affected in ways directly linked to the orientation of external gravity. If we had and used an internal gravity model then we could ignore the cues from external gravity and still perform equally well.
