  15. Re:Not over... on Microsoft to Pay AOL $750M in Settlement · · Score: 1

    Haha LMAO. I bite. There is absolutly no reason for a website to open up a popup _unrequested_ (reply if you know one). Popups are in fact (I've seen lots of friends switching over to Mozilla/Firebird from IE) a major reason for switching browsers.

    I fully agree that Mozilla has lots of nasty bugs, but hey you know IE has plenty of them too (including crashing ones)

    Hehe I do not have Mozilla because it's '1337' but because its better than IE.

    Mozilla (or Netscape) is not hard to learn, in fact it's as easy as a browser should be and therefore absolutly comparable to IE and of course it _IS_ a drop-in replacement for IE if you're not afraid of 30 minutes of learning.

    BTW: "You're so full of shit" is not the way to talk here, thanks.

  16. Re:Not over... on Microsoft to Pay AOL $750M in Settlement · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Boycott is good as long as you can do it. Of course the user should use the browser she/he prefers - but the problem with unrequested popups remains when you're following interesting looking links. Remember: a boycott works only if you have used something in advance or if you know that you do not want/need it. You can't apply this logic for completely unvisited or unknown sites you are going to surf the next second.

  17. Re:Not over... on Microsoft to Pay AOL $750M in Settlement · · Score: 1

    The browser wars will only be over when everyone agrees on what a "better browser" is.

    Exactly. People just compare the speed of a browser and on older PCs, IE wins of course. But if the IE folk would start to think that perhaps other features (popup blocker/tabbed browsing/standard conformance etc.) of a browser should be taken into account, I bet Mozilla/Opera/Safari would gain some percents in market share. But as I've seen quite often these days, people do not know how to use their brain.

  18. Re:Not over... on Microsoft to Pay AOL $750M in Settlement · · Score: 1

    Sorry, you're so 2001. Fixing popups with a popup blocker is just so 2000. Blocking popups/ads/whatever integrated in the browser is 2002, 2003 and definitifly the future. And yes, not beeing able to block unrequested popups makes a browser "not good".

    6) They ship NTFS drivers by default. Updating NTFS drivers each time the kernel is new is a minor PITA.

    7) They package an uncrippled XMMS for playing MP3 from the beginning.

    That so far for the consumer migrating from Windows. I know why they're afraid of putting these to stuff in but c'mon, every other distro has them.

    :-)

    I realize that there is the ability to use internal phones or hack caller id systems, but most of the phone based attacks played out in the book can be avoided with callerid

    How would you avoid attacks by callerid when the intrudes has already a faked number? You simply can't tell then any longer if the guy calling is from inhouse or the outside. I've read the book too, but can't remember right now if Mitnick did really had to fake the callerid for some of his attacks.

    Well, video conferencing has started only in 2 cities, three other will follow in Q3, quote from their site:

    Video Zone - available in the greater metropolitan areas of Sydney and Melbourne, and in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth Q3 2003. When you're in Video Zone, you can use all of 3's services including Videotalk, Message Centre (including Picture and Video Messaging, Email, SMS and Voicemail), Sport, What's On, Find&Guide, Modem and more.

    There are general load protections for a single email addresses as well as for a mail server. There are reasonable daily limits to how many challenges a person or server will receive in a 24 hour period.

    Ok, but again, this is a limitation as the email we know it currently. And I prefer not to have such limitations. Imagine a software failure on one side of the challenge (the occure, even if its rarely) - boom, a user will be excluded from receiving emails 24h until someone (or an automated job) cleans up the banlist. No thanks, honestly.

    However, I do hope (the article didn't say) they've come up with a smart solution to the problem of spammers putting real (but stolen) addresses as their From: address. Otherwise people unlucky enough to have their addresses stolen may indeed find their network traffic increases, thanks to a million challenges from Earthlink.

    Sorry, there we are again. Same problem: someone is spamming me trough this system. And then? Again a second challenge? Spammer will breakt it. And then? It goes on an on. Such a system will be broken by the scumbags, I am sure. They are assholes but not dumb (well, some are, some not).
