while a lot of new standards are a bit silly (Active-X and about ten different imcompatable implementations of JavaScript come to mind), but Opera 3.x had problems with things Netscape/IE 3 could do. Opera 3.x's idea of CSS implementation was a joke; instead of waiting for their CSS technology to mature, they released the buggiest implementation I've ever seen and, yes, it's even worse than Netscape 4.x's. At least Netscape is smart enough to ignore elements it doesn't understand, leaving the layout readable, but Opera likes to destroy the presented layout. Try specifying proportional table widths in CSS and see how Opera 3.x "interprets" it. Opera 4.x promises to fix these bugs, and the betas I tried were very promising, but how long does it really take to make a stable HTML 4 implementation? I mean the standard's been out for three years (well, since the original 4.0 draft, at least).
Perhaps off topic, but ICQ (99 and above) has a keyboard quick list to access most of the important functions. Actually, the "simulate system tray double click" is probably all you'll ever need. I always used tab+space to send messages.
I've never really had IRQ conflicts. The only "IRQ conflict" I ever had was when "Return to Zork" thought my Sound Blaster was on IRQ 7 when it was in fact on 5. This isn't really a conflict, though, just a software configuration. I say this, and I have (or have had) as many cards in a machine as any person typically has. Perhaps I just pay better attention to what my hardware is doing.
I am almost positive that the OSF released the first version of Motif in 1989, but it is now owned by the TOG.
What programs actually use Motif?

Motif's Not Dead

· Score: 1
Netscape and RealPlayer? Anything else? I'm not counting the porgrams TOG made out of Motif, though. I dunno, as far as I'm concerned, all I have to do is look at my current software library to see what's in and what's out. I see tons of GTK apps, some QT apps (I'm not using KDE admittedly), a few XAW apps, and two Motif apps, one on its last legs (Netscape).
I assumed that everybody knew that Mozilla was a play on Godzilla. It's not really plagiarism since the Godzilla movies and the Mozilla project are completely different products.
Come on, movies like Space Balls and Hot Shots are more plagiarism than this, and no one sued them.
The correct term you are looking for is "parallelism" which is legal (precedents set by Weird Al lawsuits), where one product is clearly not a direct competetor but an extention to an existing product.
I think you're about the only person that would argue that movies and a web browser are similar products, and thus, would "confuse" consumers.
You are also very late in complaining. Netscape has been using the Mozilla engine for almost a decade.
Well, I don't have the problems you described, but there is a dedicated ICQ module at http://members.tripod.com/~djsf/masq-icq/ . While basic ICQ functionality works fine behind firewalls, this patch makes the rest work.
hmm, my roommate uses the Windows Napster client and he doesn't have any problems downloading. I used to have atrocious problems with gnapster in Linux, but all those issues were solved (along with uploading issues). Are you sure you're using the latest versions of all applicable software (kernel, ipchains, napster)?
Well, the whole point of Mozilla was to magically fix all of Netscape's problems. These problems which never seem to be fixed are causing Netscape to lose more and more browser share everyday. A hopefully buggy beta netscape may prove to be disasterous to browser share.
The point of trackers is that one can compose high quality music without owning expensive studio equipment, aside from possibly owning a modest keyboard. While MIDIs certainly will sound better with better equipment, trackers are created with the modest budget in mind. While the tracking scene is predominantly trance and newage, some artists have shown that trackers are suited for other types of music, as well. If anyone who is interested or misinformed about what tracking can or cannot do, a good place to start would be Trax in Space, a large archive of "tracked" music.
However, the power and meaning of an outcome does not always come from its reason for obtaining it. It's the end of the 1960's; not merely a decade was it but a cultural revolution. America seemed to have been attacked from everywhere: the Vietnam war, the Soviet Union and it's allies threatening the US with nuclear technology, China - against us but not quite with our enemies, and all the way down to the youth who discarded their parents' ways. When masses huddled around their bright TV screens, what do you think they were thinking? Do you think they were thinking about how the Vietnam war was proceeding? Or whether or not they would soon meet their nuclear destruction? Perhaps about how wicked and defiant their children were? I'm sure all of these in addition to the fact that we were "beating" the Russians came into mind, but for a few brief moments, the gathered held their breaths as the men landed and stepped on the moon, with Neil Armstrong poorly uttering obviously rehearsed words. It was magical and inspiring. What was in peoples' minds was the fact that mankind had stepped beyond his creation and ventured into another world. We took something that was infinitely beyond our reach, and shared the experience with the world. The government got what they wanted, but the people got something amazing and priceless. No matter the reason, the experience changed the world forever.
They were pioneers of a new land and new, untested technology. Physicists and aeronautical engineers can only do so much with the information given, and it's up to testing and fate to decide the outcome. The chance of failure on the mission was astronomical, and it is only natural that the government was prepared for the worst.
The men had to know, deep down, that, in the event of technological failure and complete radio silence, there would be absolutely no way NASA could scrape together the resources required to save them before their all too short air supply ran out.
Either in failure or victory, the men would have been heroes, daring to explore new worlds with shaky means of exploring it. They knew in their hearts that the rest of their lives would not amount to that experience, and I believe they would have done it again, even if they knew they could have been stranded.

I think he meant that Corel has done a good enough job so far to deliver some more "porductive" apps. I could be wrong, of course.

Try Arachne. Its minimum requirements are an XT and CGA, though I'm sure it'll run atrociously on that.

You're confusing Creative and Ensoniq. The SB128 was nothing but a relabeled Ensoniq. It had no Emu chip, no RAM slots, etc.
