    Might be of interest: Text / Plain extension for Mozilla - "Treats selected plain text urls, and email addresses as links and adds options to the context menu on how to use these".

    Also, select plain text link in text and if you have tab bar visible then drag & drop the text to tab bar background, "Open a new tab" or "Close Tab" button. And dragging text to existing tabs title changes it's URL.

    ... and since Microsoft Internet Explorer is also part of the operating system it must be secure too, right? Unfortunately some rogue "experts" are tying to prove otherwise but don't trust them! Those infidel bastards!

    MSIE and programs embedding its MSHTML engine are totally secure and trustworthy, mkay!?

  3. Watch Google Zeitgeist on Browser Wars II: The Saga Continues · · Score: 1
    According to Googles User-Agent logs MSIE 6 peaked in March 2003, now see current Zeitgeist

    Soon enough we should see Gecko (Mozilla, Netscape, K-Meleon, Galeon, Chimera, ...), KHTML (Konqueror, Safari) and Opera based browsers start gaining more visible percentages from IE 5.x and some from IE 6.0 thanks to MSIE rotting into oblivion.

    Some stats samples: thecounter.com May 2003, upsdell.com gathered stats, sharereactor.com current stats (Gecko had 2.19% 2002 Aug 12).

    My own sites ~4 day distinct user stats with ~500 hits per day (not 100% accurate):
    00.25% - MSIE 4.0
    11.85% - MSIE 5.0
    06.88% - MSIE 5.5
    73.89% - MSIE 6.0
    04.33% - Gecko
    03.18% - Opera
    00.51% - Konqueror

    Yeah I can imagine how getting 350 kilobits out of 3 millibit line would be awesome but it aint much to write home about, trust me.

  5. Subtitles on Red Vs. Blue - A Halo Fan Flick · · Score: 1

    How about some English subtitles to go with those goodies, so much is getting lost if English isn't your native language and you don't recognize all the slang and the jokes in the audio.

    So how about it? Anyone got some subtitles for these awesome eps?

    > Have you ever, ummm... tried to rearrange the frickin toolbars in Mozilla? Impossible :-)

    Have you got like some weird must-constantly-rearrange-toolbars fetish or brain tumour or somesuch? :|

    |Back| |Forward| |Reload| |Stop| | about:blank | |Go|

    26 px high buttons with no text labels, IE 5.x theme... perfect!

    And as far as I'm concerned every other button and arrangement can go fuck themselves!

    And if you don't like it then u got the XUL, tweak it and STFU!
  7. Re:Looking forward to it on Introduction to 64-bit Computing and x86-64 · · Score: 1

    What if Intel slaps Yamhill tech (Intels version of x86-64) on Banias core instead of Prescott?

    I bet that would scare AMD shitless on some areas because it looks like Banias really slaps Athlon 64/Opteron around a bit at the same clock.

    To get Mozilla with MSIE touch & feel use Mozilla keyboard shortcuts and IE skin tweaking HOWTO - not for the dumbass morons but it might help someone figuring out how to get Alt+D, Alt+A working the way they want it.

    Currently IE skin doesn't work with 1.2a nightlies but AFAIK Bamm is working on it.

    > How do I change the various keyboard-shortcuts?

    My Mozilla tweaking page might give you some hints.

    As usual Google is your friend also.

  10. For those who miss MSIE look&feel on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For those who would like to switch to Mozilla but feel a bit uncomfortable by it's appearance I'd suggest you try out few of my pointers to get MSIE look & feel for Mozilla.

    The instructions shown on the page barely scratch the surface on how much Mozilla can be tweaked for your needs, no other browser comes close. For example if you'd like to use different keyboard shortcuts in MSIE - yeah good luck with that, but in Mozilla little fiddling with XUL and voila :) Power of OSS!

    Mozilla with MSIE skin & keyboard shortcuts - ultimate BOFH tool for getting some new users to our beloved browser.
