only because the author created that need by writing crappy software.
Not totally true. 5 button wheel mice are a very welcome addition to game players. Depends on the game, of course, but many are greatly improved by the added buttons. Some even go beyond "crappy software".
On a side note, though I know I can buy any mouse I want for my new G4, I like the cool design of the one button mouse that came with the computer too much to change it.
And just why not? The engine technology is here. All that is needed is some sort of very light control system. The planes could be made to scale if they were considered bombers but they might have to lack historical accuracy in order to get airborne. Stick a large firecracker in it and call it a kamikazi bomber....
Would it be possible to redirect bayTSP to a different directory rather than blocking them? It seems to me that by blocking, you are just initiating a battle of blocking/moving to different ip address space and/or advanced techniques of getting past the block. If you can fool bayTSP with a trojan directory, it will return no copyright infringement here rather than blocked from access. This could slow down the implementation of counter-measures that are sure to happen.
The flaw in your argument is if I go to a software store most of the titles will be for a Bill owned OS. If I go to a theatre, 1 film every 2 or 3 years will be by Lucas. Sure I can stack the deck and go to a Mac store or a open source site. I could even only go to the movies when Lucas had a film out, but if you look at the total market for software and the rate of films made by Lucas compared to all films released, the Bill/lucas comparison falls a little flat.
But which is which? As I've always found resource gathering painfully BORING. As such I am not much of a fan of the warcraft/starcraft games. I do enjoy squad based RTS, myth the fallen lords and mech commanded for example. Diablo 2, though not perfect is a great game IMHO. I suppect I would reverse the "successful" and the "quality" to what you would chose.
As I said before I like mozilla and will continue to use it for browsing. I just think (and this is just a personal opinion) that any text based software should have a spell check. Period. Photoshop now has a spell check. It's just one of those standard things people expect in a program. I like where this program is going and what it can/could do to the big two, but to gain wide support it needs features that people expect. Otherwise it will remain just one of those open source projects that geeks embrace but never catch on with the general public. Something I expect you as a developer (I'm guessing your a developer from the last post, correct me if I am wrong) would like to this program move beyond. As an example: when I first downloaded a beta version (8.something or early 9.something if I remember correctly) I introduced it to my father. He thought it was great and had enthusiastic support for it until he realized it had no spell check. He then dropped it like a hot potato and went back to Netscape, never to look back. I, as a web designer, have Netscape and IE installed as a necessity and yet prefer mozilla. The 1.0 release gave me nothing but problems on my imac running 8.6 so I haven't been using mozilla for awhile and was glad to get a working version (old machine used only for web browsing now. Sure I have a high end G4 but it rarely gets out of "work" mode to use it for causal web browsing). I just installed 1.1 but deleted it and re-installed it with only the browser because without the spell check the email client has no use for me.
I understand that you have a order of choice for additional features but remember, even though it is free software (what major browser isn't, and yes I know there is a prefered term to "free" but it's late and I can't remember the proper term), to get wide spread use from J Q public, you might want to find a balance between what you find as an interesting project and what the end user expects.
As to the web site I posted. I did a google search with "mozilla spell check" and came up with this site. The url seemed authentic at the time. True I did not do much research to confirm it but the way it was written seemed legit. I now see by backing up with the url that it is unrelated in an official manner to mozilla.org and I am sorry for posting it as official. It was still anti-spell check and the owner still seemed to get many requests for a spell check. I like having a simple email client intergraded in to the browser for convenience and I will still ask for a spell check when given the opportunity (this/. story for example).
I like mozilla. I would like to see it get better. Adding a spell check would do so IMHO. I just don't see why you are so anti-spell check. I bet there are many features in mozilla that you find useful but I would not even though I have used web browsers for over 10 years (your argument not mine, though true in my case as I assume it is in yours). I guess none of the features you did not personally help build, but found useful, should not have been added (were I to use your logic).
Gerv wrote it out of frustration. I would guess that is because MANY people felt as I do.
As for coming here and "complaining" about it...Did you even read the hundreds of posts above this one? Did anyone else mention features that were either missing or not working? Why did you not post to them about "complaining"? Sheesh.
There are some great freeware spell checkers. I use Excalibur for comment boxes all the time. I find it better than most spell checkers included with major applications. Can it really be THAT hard?
It's like a porsche without breaks. I can appreciate the technology, but without a spell check the email client is worthless.
I guess it's mozilla for browsing and something else for mail. Grrr....
Aside from the graphic wiz bang, what I always loved about early ID games was that you loaded it up and it worked. It worked with only a handful of files. This was revolutionary compared to either the game that stuck 550+ files in a directory or anything from sierra. The hours of torture I spent trying to build the perfect autoexec.bat and config.sys file to get one of the Dynamics flight sims to run has made me wary of sierra games ever since.
I meant the energy to achieve anything close to light speed. I'm not a physicist, but what I've read seems to hint THAT energy cost would be quite high.
As for your hint: Duh. You can go anywhere slowly, but if you want to populate the galaxy you would need at least a large fraction of light speed. Or did you not read the parent?
Considering that mochas are for people who can't quite handle coffee yet and espresso is for hardcore caffeine addicts this could cause problems for coffee drinkers everywhere. You email the secretary (ok, administrative assistant) to have a mocha ready for you when the meeting ends because it's a boring meeting and your about to fall asleep. You walk out afterwards only to be handed a small cup of espresso. Suddenly your bouncing off the walls like there is no tomorrow.
Ah, but you forget what else Amsterdam is also known for. After hitting the hash bars, a computer with good bandwidth might just be a little too much for your poor brain. Better to window shop the red light district instead.
There is a reason for this. It's because the US has a good, working phone system. Something most european countries (hell, most countries worldwide) have never had Untill the cell phone. I'm not sure if it is the same way with the Japanese phone system or they just love gadgets (both most likely).
Well as it's a modern craft, it should have a personal monitor in the seatback. It should be easy enough to install a bunch of cameras around the plane and allow any passenger to pick the view they want.

My bad. I forgot about the famed and feared Nigerian internet crimes unit.

Funny, I think this is somewhat anti-spell check. If not, I would hate to see what you do call "anti-[useful feature]".
You are welcome to add one or pay somebody to add one or do whatever you can to have one added.
Like posting that a spell checker is missing on blogs where mozilla developers are likely to read the post? Gosh, who would have thought of that?
Why is the mozilla project so anti-spell check?

That there is no opinion/post on this article from an obviously female perspective. Interesting that.

How did they catch you? Follow the Draganflyer back to you?
No, it ran out of juice right above the target. D'oh.
A wuss beer maybe. Give me a pint! Imperial preferably...
48 are ready to be launched at any one time (sub based).
Kendo is closer to "classic" sword combat, but I'd be curious to see who would win in a match up between a kendo master and an A ranked fencer.
I had a bad floppy drive in a 1000 once...talk about Proprietary hardware...

Or maybe Douglas Adams was right and we are on an unfashionable arm of the milky way. No one wants to visit us ;)
What next? Switching beer with whiskey?
