Hang on, the article title is "AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox".
Companies like AOL don't donate money, they make bets. Maybe this one's about to pay off.
They just need to be told that a lot of very smart people made sure that you can't fake a passport and still have the green "verified" symbol show up when you get checked.
But you will be able to do that. There's always some way around it. The government doesn't need to make the system perfectly secure, they just need to make it sufficiently difficult to forge passports or defeat the checking process some other way.
And the people should get to choose how many of their tax dollars go to hardening that process.
If they can get electric cars to outperform others in Formula 1, that's when they'll break into public consciousness as legitimate vehicles.

Humor in Games?
·
· Score: 1
Zork really stands out for me here because it represents a whole genre of game that is genuinely funny most of the way through and continues to be rewarding when played again and again. The early interative fiction games are the forebears of other notedly amusing games such as Sam and Max and Monkey Island where the graphics visually support a similarly interactive storyline.
I don't know exactly what it is about these games that so many people give them such consistently high comedy value but I know that it relies on the delivery as much as the content. Just like Blackadder and Monty Python which I can watch over and over and still laugh until it hurts, I disagree with others saying that jokes in games always get old.
Allowing the developers of each application to choose their own language defeats one of the purposes of an integrated Desktop Environment. For each application in a new language, you may require a new set of libraries or perhaps a new interpreter. Having everything in one language lets you cut down on the supporting packages that you have to include.
As I said, you can have multiple login sessions, but only one human can actually be using their session at a time.
My family runs Linux and MacOSX but we can all use remote desktop to run Windows programs on our Windows Server 2003 machine.
We can all be mousing around on the server simultaneously. We usually don't even log out, so there are up to five desktops active at the same time. That means you can click on dialog boxes, start applications and whatever else you can normally do while another user is doing the same thing.

IN countries like Iran, overcoming and undermining the harsh edicts of the mullah is probably slightly more important than what version of SCO-Derivative Unlicensed(TM) *Nix verion they are running. I realize that talking about free software is important and innocuous, but whenever I see things like this pop up arbitrarily, I want to make sure you're not missing the point.
But most of us here are far more knowledgeable about OSS than iranian politics (let's not kid ourselves), so we should concentrate on what we know and leave the political power struggle to the experts.
it ain't AT ALL what it used to be. Try looking for "motherboard reviews" for example (even if you have a specific part number) and you'll be lucky to find an ACTUAL "review" on the first two pages of results.
I just googled for 'motherboard reviews' and the first four links were to actual reviews.
U.S. patents aren't as often recognised or enforced outside the United States, so wouldn't it make sense to develop your software somewhere else, for example, India?

Except they never made any move to Mozilla.

And when it's open, the bad guys can read it from around the corner without your consent.
Back to square one.

Oh no you don't. You're just trying to get us to switch foils so that you'll be able to read our thoughts!
Headshot!

is it ok to call the fire department?
I rent an office in OMD. Now the posters on the wall talking about the power of viral marketing are making rather more sense...
Viral marketing? OMD?
Office of Mass Destruction?
In that vein, tab-specific errors (e.g., host not found) should be displayed only on their tab rather than as a dialog box that interrupts other tabs.
So, nice to see IE's corpse being dragged along by others.
Netscape doesn't show pictures of naked women whenever he tries to browse the web? Broken!
Wouldn't that make it a great gaming OS?
That would arguably make it a sufficient gaming OS, but not a great one. It is still clearly inferior to systems that can run more than three.
However, I wouldn't mind seing a penguin or two while I'm ordering.
But what sauce will they come with?
Maybe you can use the smoke that's coming from your computer right now as a screen for looking at the Venus transit.
Or to implement a Native American wireless communication protocol...

For example, when mail (example: spam) is sent to 100 people, keep 1 copy of the message
Better still, when spam is sent to 100 people, keep 0 copies of the message...

It runs on 95, NT, 2000, and XP. Then you still have to pay Microsoft to use them.

Because it's a living language in which definitions change is precisely why it isn't pointless attempting to change how 'hacker' is used.
