    Because IE5's standards support is even worse than IE6's, perhaps? (Not that IE's great at anything anyway...)

    Depends what the limited time is though; AOL IPs can change within one session as they use proxies.

    Of course, maybe blocking AOL isn't such a bad idea...hmm.

    Yeah; I wasn't trying to imply that Transgaming weren't fulfulling a licencing requirement.

    They have to release all of their changes to the WINE tree (under the LGPL - they use the current tree), and they do. They also hire developers to work on WINE, and this can get merged back into the public tree (depending on whether it's accepted into CVS).

    That's true, and I do hope/think that the developers should at least get some money from any sales; but the law's the law, and they're the copyright owners...

    Use about:config and set the options in there, it'll do it for you.

    Considering that's the comment number, highly likely ;).

    (The layout of numbers isn't the best I've ever seen; if you just glance you can often get the wrong one...)

    The Googlebar's been around for Mozilla for quite a while now; I think I first used it back in 2002. See its site for more info.

    Surely die hard Linux users wouldn't buy the Windows version because they don't have Windows?

    Anyway, I've just got round to ordering it. So that's at least one ;)

    1) I often find PNGs to be smaller than GIFs.
    2) Who cannot see PNGs? IE supports them, Opera supports them, Netscape/libpr0n-based browsers all support PNGs. Hell, even Links 2 when run in X or svgalib supports PNG.
