2) Feel - face it - mozilla just doesn't "feel" like a Windows program. I can't drag and drop the toolbars around and then lock them down like I can in IE (there might be a way to do it, but I haven't found it). If someone could just make mozilla "feel" like IE, we'd have infinitely more users out there. Not only because it would be one less thing to learn, but because people simply wouldn't notice that they were using "something different" which is generally a no-no for non-techies. Heck, I'm a techie and I've found that I don't like using mozilla for this reason. I just don't have the time anymore....
Um, I would hate Mozilla to 'feel' like IE in ANY way, shape or form. IE is slow, plodding, the buttons feel like mush, and it's just too damn big.
Why would I want any web browser I use to feel so bloated? Perhaps you like this, but I certainly don't.
And, the people I've turned on to Mozilla have never complained that it didn't feel like IE, in fact, they love the fact it doesn't feel like IE!
I used to use Maxtor drives, but found that while they were fairly quiet, they gave off a noise that was akin to a small buzz-saw.
I've since switched to using Seagate Barracudas in all my machines. They are almost completley silent, sometimes you can hear the thrashing but they make very little noise just spinning. In fact, I have never really noticed what they sound like spinning, since I'd probably have to shove my head inside my PC to hear...
Anyone else have favorite hard drives they use because of their lack of noise?
I wrote my undergrad thesis using WordPerect Suite for DOS, which came with lite versions of WordPerfect and a spreadsheet program. I easily replaced the lite version of WordPerfect with WordPerfect 5.1 (I found the spreadsheet program to do all I needed it to.)
It came with a task switcher (this was DOS after all), and did an excellent job of taking my tables from the spreadsheet program and dropping them into WordPerfect completely perfectly.
This was all on a 10MHz 286, too! I often wonder just how fast any of the old DOS programs would run on a modern machine.
I can't think of a good reason that any of these situations would merit booting a default OS from a hard disk, rather than formatting it, and installing what you want.
Actually, if I were building a new PC, it would be quite helpful to have an OS preinstalled on the hard drive in order to make sure the components like the sound and video card work properly before even installing a fresh OS. It would be pretty sweet to have that kind of immediate satisfaction.
And, I would definitely want Lindows if I were to give a new computer to my parents. I am truly getting tired of telling everyone that it's time to use Windoze Update or get a firewall or update your A/V, only to have them click on a stupid fake Microsoft email message that completely messes up XP and Win2K.
Another great enhancment might be to simply use steganography to have plausible denyability of contents... sure, I have 10,000 5MB word documents on my/mp3 folder:-)
5MB is pretty close to the default size of a new Word file, so you'd be safe.
If the Sobig virus can spoof email "From:" headers, wouldn't it make sense to be able to spoof mail server messages that get bounced back from a bad email address?
Sending a "mailbox unavailable" message right back to spammers seems to me to be a good way to have your email cleaned from spammer's lists. Or would it be?
When I was in High School my teacher knew some people over at ID and we got to alpha and beta test Doom in computer club. I remember the still monsters and walls you would fall through and the numerous crashes we would have. Even then the game was a total blast.
I'm still getting penis enlargement spam, but not as much as before. It's probably true that only a few spammers are responsible for most of the messages.
The big deal is that a) I *hate* Bell, and b) I am forced to have Bell's local phone service while I have a smaler ISP feed me my DSL, as well as c) I would like to have Sprint for local service, Sprint for long-distance, and my smaller ISP for DSL.
In other words, I want a Bell-free existance and this ruling allows me just that.
Box art is getting better because computers are capable of displaying advanced graphics -- back in the old 16-bit days, we weren't getting photo-realism, only blocky, un-artistic images. Now, video games require real artists and the bar has been set substantially higher.
I deal with 3 banks here in Canada: ScotiaBank, ING Direct and CIBC. On ScotiaBank and ING's websites, Mozilla works just peachy.
CIBC requires IE or an older version on Netscape. They say they are 'testing' the new Netscape, but then they've been saying that for about a year now. I've asked them twice why they, and no other bank I deal with, refuses to support a secure browser and all I get is a form letter.
So, this week I'll be yanking my (meager) cash from CIBC, even though the branch is in my building.
I doubt CIBC's shares will plummet as a result, though.
...that the guy downloaded any songs unless the RIAA was the one sharing them?
Did they break copyright to share these files, waiting to ensnare some hapless P2P user?
People who never download or burn their own... make up about 54% of the population and only buy about 39% of the CDs.... Those that do sometimes download and burn their own (combining the other categories) make up 46% of the population yet buy 61% of the CDs.
But, the ones who don't burn could be older and buy fewer CDs than the younger ones who actually know how to burn or download their own music -- and who spend more money on entertainment.

I guess I've been using Mozilla for too long -- I have no idea what all this talk about a purple monkey is.

Take a bathroom break during the scenes with Arwen and Aragorn and you won't miss a thing

And yet, somehow, you learned to read, write and learn.

Video games have come a long way, baby.
It's difficult to see why the good Senator is so concerned, in any case. No one is trading his songs.

Lemme guess... MP3s?

You missed "ahumana"!

Which hypothesis makes the most sense?
