"Some of you may have noticed that the Firefox 3 nightly builds have felt a lot snappier since a few weeks ago. There's an interesting story in that, one that I finally have time to write up.

However, I'm glad that there was a workaround for this issue for us on OSX, because the performance benefits are huge -- Firefox 3 on the Mac (everywhere, really) is going to be a kick-ass release!"
So, there was no issue w/F'fox v2, and 3, already 'snappier', will be a k-a release when it comes out of beta.
So, where does the crippling come in? And why does it seem like a dev w/beta software is shifting the blame, especially when the dev admits X contained a workaround?
After all, just what % of Leopard was written in-house by Apple.
The press release stated that Stephen Norris Capital Partners was doing the deal, that it was a limited partnership, without specifying in which state, and it listed Norris as "managing partner" of SNCP:
"We saw a tremendous investment opportunity in SCO and its vast range of products and services, including many new innovations ready or soon to be ready to be released into the marketplace," said Stephen Norris, managing partner for SCNP....

If you stood on your head and chucked nickels out of your ass, the street would be full of fecal-covered coins.
And yet, the download beat goes on. How sweet that is:)
Thanks for making my point. And thanks for taking a run at me, but better luck next time. I'm sure with a bit more time and perhaps a nap, you can do better. Go for it.
I'm guessing that instead of rejecting it first, and _then_ ripping submitters off by using roland poop-pah-meal, etc. they think if they just let it quietly die like a bloated x-groundhog lying under the front porch in the heat of the afternoon, maybe no one will notice.
But just like that motionless and maggot-ridden rodent, the wafting smell of a purloined post gives up the ghost hiding in the shadows.
"I mean pending is acceptable for a few days even - but then it needs to get sorted out."
Hey, it takes more than just throwing a dart at a board to steal an idea, you know...if they were smart enough to automate cherry-picking of submissions, they'd be smart enough to come up with their own. They are not. We get to deal with it. Life's tough, and then you get rejected.
Dismay, when contacted, said she was not even in the country when the photo in question was taken. Vista could not be reached for comment, but her publisher insisted that all struggling new talent has photos in the closet that invariably surface when they become popular. When asked, the man-on-the-street responded with a shrug and said "Good thing neither of them has dentures - someone could have lost a labia!"
And by so doing, they sold more licenses and thus _profited_.
That shouldn't come as a surprise...that's how it works...what do you think the thought process was? "Do it: profit from it. Don't do it...don't profit from it. Someone help me with this...." duh.
Sit down and we'll let someone else give it a shot. Everyone...feel free to point and laugh at 188401.
Every single time, it is the same thing... "this is so hard!"
"We have to figure out how to mount the drill??!!" Is this a new engineering issue? No, even with the lower gravity, the main 'hurdles' remain the same and the world is full of examples. Get over it.
Then, soon, the other shoe drops and all we hear is the pleading for money.
Why not just skip the BS dog/pony show, hand over the report and get on with it like (almost) every other govt. funded agency.
"Everyone is a lifelong learner", Storksdieck said, "but once people leave school, that learning becomes a voluntary matter that's largely driven by individual taste."
Thank Bhudda for lifelong learning driven by individual taste.
"Offer full scholarships to engineers, funded by those fees..."
I was with you up, to this point, sorry.
1.) Not all patents are submitted by domestic entities.
2.) The trend in America towards a service industry, like the patent system issue, is not a new development - fresh engineers will come in lesser numbers, not more.

Don't hold your breath - the $100 mil was more of a bailout than a future-booster.
so flattered that kdawson herself took the time to mod this down - luv striking that nerve :)

How many times does it have to be repeated?
The internet views restrictions as outages and routes around them.
Record companies benefit when you buy.
Musicians benefit when you listen.
So....what happens when you listen to what you buy?

As long as kdawson jr. gets a kickback, it doesn't really matter, now, does it?

Unless you're perhaps using it as a verb, the crowd doesn't think 'champ' means what you think it means, sorry.

So the kids stay and the parents go back out to the car? - no thanks.
