Good luck going to market. If you have the word "Nuclear" in the description every anti-nuke lefty wackjob will be out protesting against the dangers of nuclear power.
Just say that it's hydro-power or windpower. Then they'll move on over to the bio-engineered protest instead.
1 & 2) The tabbed browsing actually is what initially attracted me to the moz and later the fox.
3,4,5,6) I get exactly the same number of popups on each site. zero...
I'm using IE6. Which alot of people are using. In fact according to the stats on our webserver (which registers 110 million hits a month) about 40% are using IE6 and 3% are using mozilla or ff...
1) Not that funny. at all. seriously. not. not even slightly.
2) If anyone gets that excited over a freakin browser, especially one that allows web sites to WRITE files it the drive and execute them, they need to be pushed down a splintered flight of stairs - twice.
3) I use Firefox (love the web developer plugin!) and while I really dig it, it's simply a way for me to view the web. It's not curing cancer for fuck's sake.
I recommend reading the actual sections since most of the "summaries" of the sections that I have seen are translations, usually leaning to one way or another.
Not pointing any fingers here, just recommending you read the actual text yourself. A lot of folks went ballistic over the massive new erosion of our rights when those rights were aleady in jeopardy if you were a drug dealer or traficker. They've simply extended the power they already to terrorism suspects.
At first I thought, "wtf good is that?!". I figured it was for the ultra paranoid. Then I realized. He lives in a country where the law has to actually have physical proof of you breaking the law. Here in the US I don't think they feds need to kick in the door and find your mp3s being fed to the world to actually charge you. They just strongarm your ISP for your info.
The theory in his country being if they can't find anything on your drive, then they can't prove shit.
Well. While there might be a grain of truth to that as I can not tell how much they really know or not. We've been able to get the linux boxes, which also use samba to connect to windows shares, to work just fine.
After reading the article about problems with OSX, I'm somewhat inclined to believe that it's a software issue with X... No?
In our office, there are 4 macs and we could never get any of them to attach to the windows shares with any predictability. The resident mac gurus couldn't figure out how to get the macs to mount the windows shares and stay mounted.
If the machines were on a different network but routed internally, the macs wouldn't connect ever. The 5 people running linux as a desktop simply used the samba GUI and voila, no problem.
Since only 2 mac people were using it for creative purposes, the other three folks eventually asked for a PC so they could use the network shares reliabily.
Shame really that Apple can't get it together. Seems simple enough since they are using SAMBA for Christ's sake.
Does it have a way to count the number of people who will install it, check out out, find out that their bank site won't work with it and promptly UN-Install it?
I also remember the 1541 drives. I actually had no top on mine because it often would go out of alignment and if you had the patience to mess with the alignment screws you could get lucky and put her back into alignment.
All that solved by the 1581 3.5 inch drive and later the 10 meg external hard drive that was quite literally twice the size of the 1541.
But I could save everything you ever needed to save ever on it!
In anything less than the top resturants, the waitstaff expects the usual 15%. If they are upset because 20% just wasn't enough, then it's time to get a better job.
Someone has to sweep the streets, pick up trash and wait on other people. If they don't like it, get a different job. I've worked as a waiter in a middle of the road restaurant and on normal days I made 15-18 an hour in cash tips. I guarantee I'd NEVER be paid that much per hour by the place.
very simple solution really. Take a small fraction of that money that they used to spend on M$ Orifice and hand out copies of Open Office to any new student who doesn't want to download it.
Either way, make it the STANDARDIZED application if students are to submit work on disc or email.
Finally! Someone understands that what the net loving community needs is $39 web browser! No longer will I have use one of those crappy free browsers.
Ie?! Come on, it's free! Moz/Fox? They are even worse because you get the source code if you want. I don't know where you are from, but where I'm from, that's a glaring sign of BULLSHIT!
Thanks Opera Man (Ahh. When SNL sucked LESS). I hope you hit a million. Maybe you and your unimportant contribution to the long ago won browser war will sink into the icy waters. Like Netcrap did..
What you are often paying for is someone's ass to ride when it breaks and actually get them out there that day to fix it. Idiots in the corner offices also think that since it's more expensive, is MUST be better quality and more reliable.
The nice thing about coldfusion is, if you can find a programmer with any experience in any other language, you have a someone who within a solid month could program and debug coldfusion. I've taken folks who were Java or VB.net/asp folks and had them developing database driven sites and pages in a day. The jsp folks get it very quickly because jsp eventually added tag based libraries that coldfusion was using for years. You can even use namespaces for your libs just like jsp. Quite simple.
Just because it's easy to learn doesn't make it less of a tool or less useful.
Coldfusion will run on Windows, Sun, Linux, WebSphere. Code portability. When we cost out a project we will often cost it out in several platforms to ensure the best fit. There are different groups that define those costs. The coldfusion group is always about 50-75% of the cost of the.net/asp and always less than half of the js22/jsp folks (which only sometimes get the rfp).
Coldfusion is quick to develop in and as capable as anything else on the market today. Have the Java coders do some heavy lifting and the cf developers use those wars/jars in the cf app.
For those of you who haven't looked at coldfusion in several versions, it's quite different than it was 3-4 years ago.
Being more expensive?!
runs on linux = free the standard license is $1200 bucks. The savings in development is often several times that cost.
Slashdot Mirror
Now I can record my HD shows that I tend to miss when real life gets in the way! W00t!
Oh wait. No I can't. Not unless I am sitting right there to change the channel on the cable box.
I guess I'll have to go the easy route and just pay the 5 bucks to comcast every month to have the ability to cue up those pay channels.
Bummer
Ha! mod this guy UP!

This is one of the funniest posts I've seen here in months.. MOD this up!

If you need to consider it, then you are already gay :)
First Post!

Must be nice...

hehe. Well. Unfortunately I just can not bring myself to alter my life around something so trivial as a browser.
:)
Although I did send them a nasty email about it

Yes. And now that Apple has them but the short hairs they could turn around and say, "We want to change the model. No DRM or No more music store."
But they are likely making too much money to ever give the consumer what they really want.
What's up with the link?
Interesting that the cell that has the content says "Content Starts Here". Placeholder text I DOUBT m$ would miss.
Faux Site perhaps?!

Yea. The album cover says "Oak Ridge Boys" not "Oakridge Boys" You are correct.

Where's the complaint!?
I was mounting the fan on the OUTSIDe of the case. I was alot cooler but that damn drives kept getting hot! I was so close...
