If you want to improve usability you can do it by using different icons for Mozilla itself and files associated with Mozilla (for example html-files). Currently I have Mozilla and a html file added to my Windows coolbar and they both use the same icon. InternetExplorer has the face "e" for IE itself, and a document with the "e" in front for associated files. Please do something similar for future versions of Mozilla. I really want to see from the icon if a file is a html file or the Mozilla executable.
1. Regarding MS03-041: I have a simple XP professional (32Bit) running on my computer. This OS is neither listed in "Affected Software" nor in "Non Affected Software". So is it semi affected or what? And where can I get the download?
2. I am running a German version of XP, so all services have German names. What is the "Messaging Service" called in the German version? The closest I could find is "Nachrichtendienst".
But no matter how much money you have, you can only drive one car at a time. So if I once happen to have the money I will buy a GT and wait in front of Bill Gate's house until he enters his 959. Then I will drive by, with my "959 sucks" bumper sticker prominently showing. I guess that's as close to world domination as you can get:-)
...that the new Porsche Carrera GT will be out, with 612 HP. That will make them look like a bunch of losers.
But seriously, can anyone tell me what you want with such a car on North American roads? Even on the German autobahn you really seldom have traffic conditions that allow going more than 125mph.
(IANAL, but) I have bought my Linux in "good faith", which means according to German law that I am not liable if the distributor violated any license terms (which I think is not the case). With me all other end users of Linux distros in Germany are immune to any SCO claims.
And hey, when SuSe 8.3 comes out I will buy it, although I am very satisfied with my current 8.2. Just to send a little "Fuck You" to SCO.
That clearly shows that CNN got it wrong. How can you extepct them to calculate from Miles to Kilometers, if they do not even know where Switzerland is.
I think from now on all Slashdot editors should justify for each news item why they published it and explain exactly what is newsworthy about it. Good start.
Maybe you heard about the school massacre in Erfurt/Germany where a boy killed 16 people about a year ago.
A British newspaper wrote that the boy was a fan of the band Slipknot, and one of their songs is called "School wars" containing the words "Shoot your naughty teachers with a pump gun."
All German newspapers copied the news about Slipknot and a real witch hunt started on the band. But it turned out that the news just was not true. Slipknot never had a song called "School wars" and none of their songs contains those words. Certainly, the newspaper never pubished their mistake.
And yes, some conservative politicians of course tried to blame computer games for the massacre.
Even Java had this before. Take a look at the demo of the Alloy Look and Feel and look at the menus. At least here (Win2k) are shadows.
Taking into account that Java-Swing framework is not the most effect-loaded GUI-framework around (but it is still unbeaten flexibility wise), I would say: It was about time that GTK got those shadows.
What's that SCO ad doing right in the middle of the article???
Just kidding.
German website down
on
SCO SCO SCO!

· Score: 3, Informative
SCO's German website is down. A German court had ordered them to stop telling that Linux contains stolen code or to pay a fine of 250,000 Euro. And since everybody at SCO is now busy fighting lawsuits, the had no time to remove only the FUD from their webpage. Consequently they removed the whole website in order to follow the court's order.
Oh, and a German artice about this can be found here
Methinks it's a Microsoft-is-too-huge-syndrome.
I totally agree. The same with the passport desaster. If you have millions of user depending on one piece of software, you can cause trouble to millions of people with only one bad line of code. And if the software updates automatically all users will have the problem at the same time. I propose the term "blue out" for this kind of situation.
The interesting thing is that Munich would be the last German city to be expected to use OpenSource. If they do you can bet that many others will follow, and Berlin for sure.
SCO now has to fight on two different battlefields. One is the IBM case to which US law applies. This can take quite a while, and maybe that is exactly the purpose of the whole case, because they may want to keep the FUD up as long as possible. And since we know how bizarre US law can be, this could take a long long time.
The other battle is fought in Germany, and here the rules (read the law) are different. The German court could really put a lot of pressure on SCO to open the questionable code ASAP, and this could have a huge influence on the case with IBM (or even make it totally irelevant), because it may show really soon if the "stolen" code exists or not.
Allow people to control a real car with their mobilephone. This way they wouldn't need to keep one hand on the steering wheel when using their phone during driving.
...was playing Pong on the Berlin Alexanderplatz. It was just bizarre to stand in front of that big building and being able to control the lights of the windows with a cellphone. Too bad it is no more...
The Japanese really use the fact that their country is an island (actually many islands) as an excuse for almost everything.
Not many foreigners in Japan -> because Japan is an island
People eat a lot of fish -> Japan is an island, you know
Cannot speak foreign languages -> Must be because Japan is an island
We really had a lot of fun in Japan, hearing this "shimaguni dakara" (because it's an island country) all over the place.
The USA is really behind in this issue. The Euro comes with loads of security features (including a hologram). Thoese features are explained on the webpage of the European Central Bank.
Now there are still a lot of counterfeits in Europe (the Bulgarians are apparently really good at forgin money), which really makes you wonder if the ration of counterfeits in the US is really only 1 in 10000 bills, considering how easy it is to forge (the paper, the ink, it's not really an obstacle).

Those people who cannot connect to the Internet anymore, how are they supposted to get the next patch that is supposed to fix the problem?
Even that isn't true. It's the beer, pretzel, and soccer capital.
First I have to say that you nationalist whining kinda pisses me off.
Second: Did you read the article? IBM will make the deal instead of Microsoft. You know what country IBM is from, don't you?
Missed business opportunity for Munich
1. Buy those 14,000 licenses with a 90% discount
2. Sell them on ebay
3. Profit

One thing I am missing is:
Low energy function that allows you to access the number stored in your phone even when the battery is really down.
Or do phones actually have this already (mine is rather old).
