The Middle Click - Open Link in New Tab - is crippled on Mac OS. It seems there is some obscure voodoo related to the way messages other than simple click are processed on Mac OS. Mac is single button oriented so the middle click is not so simple to implement and Firefox still can't handle it. I managed to map my wheel button with the Logitech Mouse Driver as Cmd+Click that emulates normal Middle-Click. Now that is pretty!
Safari and Camino work well with middle clicks.
Middle-click is "the core" of tabbed browsing and tabbed browsing is the main feature of Firefox compared to IE. So having a crippled middle click on Macs pretty much makes Firefox not so great. Also, the Mac Firefox is much slower that the Windows version, and definitely slower than Safari.
Other than that, I a love Firefox and I've been with it since Phoenix 0.4. Remember those days ?
I'm sorry but the 1.0 release is worse than 0.8
on
Firefox 1.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
I am a Firefox uses since it was 0.3. I am sorry to say but the update to 1.0 was a downgrade.
Middle click doesn't work any more. Most of my extensions are disabled. I might revert back to 0.8:-(
By the way, does anyone know if they fixed the long standing Mac OS X bug with middle clicking ? Middle click "Open in new tab" option is the central feature of FireFox and it is not working on Mac. What a shame.:-( Maybe they fixed it on the 1.0 release.
In Romania we have this company called Zapp that use CMDA and they have a 10 hours (600 minutes) at approx 50-100kbps depending on the network load at the time for 15$ per month.:-)
I use it for my laptop when I'm away from home and as a backup for my main internet connection.
Seems noone observed that some people use urine as a natual cure. There is even a World Conference of Urine Therapy in Germany. Urine therapy is present in many folk medicines all around the world. Indians even have an ancient urine therapy manual called Damar Tantra.
So now the US Army talks about using urine to hidrate MREs, so it can't be that bad as NewScientist says.
I just think may people can't image someone drinking his own urine so they tend to find some kind of proof to reenforce their point of view to others.
The blinkx windows client automatically finds web pages, news articles and documents on your machine that are related to the content of your active window.
Or is it "The blinkx windows client automatically displays ads and questionable links based on spying what you do" ? Haha.
I can't recall a single order from Nigeria/Romania where the credit card was 100% clean.
I am a Romanian who has ordered 7k$ worth of electronics from B&H in the last year. Unlike your store, they are cool because they checked my billing and shipping address at the credit card issuing bank, thus clearing me to make orders when I like. And I just might place another big order soon. I'm so sorry your store can't possibly have me as a customer.:-)
You made your own bed, now sleep in it. A simple bank inquiry should be enough to clear legit customers, but you seem to be just too lazy to bother, I guess.
That's not true. Cutting off entire countries is never done to hurt legitimate users, it is done to protect legitimate users. The legitimate users just don't happen to be in the countries that are cut off.
That is just so insensitive and plain wrong. I am in Romania and I can't sign up for Pay Pal, most of the affiliate programs and can't order from most websites on my credit card because my countruy is blacklisted. A few rotten apples spoil the whole barrel.
At least they should provide a gradual, not a black & white approach. Blacklists hurt my business and also limit what I can do with my money:-( Punishing someone for someone else's deeds - it's wrong and so frustrating. I just wish those who practice this don't ever get the same treatment.
Well, I tried for 5 minutes to make the damn ogg streams work, finally I gave up. There should be an ogg player for Windows that would also enable Firefox to view the streams embedded in the browser, as Quicktime and even Media Player do.
Instead I am directed to try Real Player, who wants to know everything about me and tries to stuff their "upgraded" version on my throat. What a bummer:-( Every time I have to deal with ogg files it is a problem. Few players understand it.
That's it. At least I got to view the Steve Jobs keynote on Apple's site, that went perfectly:-)
Wow, it costs 20.00 Per Month for 25Mb(50Mb)! That is some expensive contract.
I live in Romania and out CMDA operator Zapp has 15$/mo contract for 600 minutes @ 128kbps ulimited transfer. Well, actually dependin on the signal, sometimes it is more like 56kbps but at least I could browse the net in the most obscure mountain village or province bacwards hotel where ppl never heard of internet.
So, 36000s * 5K (medium) = 17.5Gb of data for 15$
That is around 1$/Gb.
Our CMDA operator used to charge the same and then suddenly got almost 1000 times cheaper. They also have a plan where 10 users can have unlimited talk minutes between them.
They take the content from my website, your website and everyone else's, they request sometimes thousands of pages per day, consume everyone's CPU cycles, bandwidth, etc to build their business. So yes, they do take, they take a lot! And they don't pay us for the bandwidth used by their bots.
In fact except for the keyword crunching system, everything they use is taken from the rest of the world.
Put Google on a internet with no websites and it has no value of itself.
Seems that the tracker is overwhelmed with requests and cannot cope. The bittorrent developpers need to work more on this.
Bittorrent lately dissapoints me a lot. I've seen cases when all my peers and myself trying to get a very popular file have very poor speeds, like under 10kbps. It almost never can reach the top speed of my net connection:-(
Yeah, it sometimes works. But slow starts and some problems in achieving high speeds spoils the fun for me.
Do the math. Gigablast.com said they use 8 machines (each P4 2.4, 2Gb ram, lots of hdd) and they handle an index of 250Mil pages.
So, of the search engine part of google has like 4.2 billion pages, that would scale up to 135 machines!
So with 200 machines they could do the job. OK, that is not completely correct because we didn't account for the difference in traffic.
Gigablast says it handles 50searches/sec on 8 machines - 6.25 per machine. Google has 200million searches/day that is approx 2400/sec so that would scale to 384 boxes. Still way lower that 45,000.
So I really don't get why they need so much power.
Imagine if someone incorporated in the next big MS Windows virus an exploit for this vulnerability and destroyed thousands of LG CDROMS - what would LG have to say, I wonder.
Canon 10D + Lens costs around $2500... $3000. Sony F828 will be around $1200. So of course Sony F828 there will be overall somewhat inferior, BUT the difference is very small. Also, they are in two different cattegories, Sony F828 is a digicam and Canon 10D a Digital-SLR (dSLR).
In many areas F828 will be better than Canon 10D and in some areas Canon 10D will be better.
The focus time is 0.19s on Canon 10D and probably about 0.39s (tested on a preproduction camera) for the Sony. Anyway, this Sony (F828) is the fastest Digital Camera ever made and ranges as faster than some dSLR cameras and slower than other.
The Canon 10D noise and the low light capabilities will be better than the F828's because the sensor is much larger.
Canon 10D has only an OPTICAL viewfinder and you cannot frame the subject with the LCD. Sony can.
This Sony unlike its predecessors is compatible with Compact Flash and IBM Microdrive.
The Sony F828 lens has 0.8x wide angle (28mm) and 7x zoom. This would cost you a ton of $$$ on Canon 10D because you would need two expensive lenses, one for tele and one for wide and also you'd need to carry a bag for them. Canon has a sensor dust problem because the lens is removable and when you take it off dust deposits on the sensor. Sony does not need to remove the lens. The Sony lens was especially designed for it (as a digital camera) while the Canon lenses are generic (not especially desiged for digital use). You pay more for the Canon glass because it is designed for 35mm film not for the digital sensor which is 1.6x smaller than film.
The Sony lens has manual zoom ring and "fly by wire" focus ring.
Barring some very specialised PRO uses, Sony is actually better (and cheaper).

2. a CuteFTP-like ftp client that can remember the accounts and is as *cute*
3. a SecureCRT-like SSH client with account list

5. make Cut & Paste work between all applications
By the way, until Flash, Adobe and Macromedia have some equivalent on linux, we are tied to Windows.
Until then I have a partition with linux desktop and I log in from time to time to play...
I think the copyright and IP rights are abused like hell today. We all have a moral right to disregard these claims because we must remember that nobody creates anything in a void.
Every movie, music or even software is based on the large pool of common knowledge. The creation process is 90% borrowing. All artists get inspiration from other works and from our common culture in general, so, as long as they use the culture to create, why shouldn't the culture reclaim what they create. Human culture didn't appear over night, and there is no one singe person responsible for it. It is in the interest of everyone to freely recirculate the new creations back into the common pool.
What do I propose ? A 3 (yes, THREE) years maximum duration of copyright on movies, music, software, books & patents after they are published. That would give them enough time to extract benefits.
