Mozilla 1.7 Released
·
· Score: 1, Redundant
I know allot of people will bring up a ton of good reasons, but whats the BIGGEST reason to switch?
You can get pretty much anything Mozilla does by installing third party tools for IE, but the biggest reason(s) I switched from IE to Mozilla are tabbed browsing and built in popup blocking as a tie. I switched a long time ago, before there were as many decent popup blockers for IE.
Sorry, but you're wrong, I know amazing isn't it. Win 95 did NOT come with IE3, IE 3 didn't even come out until mid year 1996, I know, I was working on it. The original upgrade version of Win95 didn't have any version of IE at all.

Maybe because he doesn't want to take the time to burn 500+ DVD's, or store them or have to swap through them to get to that juicy bit he's downloaded.
KPMG is kind of funny. If you look at the code they tried to have alternate pages for non IE browsers but fucked it up. Mozilla displays nothing, but viewing the source shows a ton of javascript. Unless you change the user agent string, then Mozilla shows the page.
Opera 5 will display a page, until you resize the browser than it goes blank, but none of the links work.
You'd think if they're going to go to the trouble of codeing for other browsers they'd actually test to see if it worked.
The problem comes from my friends. One morning, I sit down in front of my PC, boot it. Something comes up full-screen, immediately. I've been spywared. By no fault of my own. My less-than-savvy friends have just cost me an hour of my time downloading, updating and running AdAware/SpyBot S&D.
That's not a fault of Windows that's your responsibility for allowing your friends to use your machine with an account that has permissions to do such things.
Would you blame Ford if your friend borrowed your car and wrecked it?
I am so incredibly sorry that you, someone completely unaffected by this instance in every possible way -- is angry at the correct allocation of funding.
How do you know he's completely unaffected by this? Where would the money have gone if it wasn't sent to the reservation? Maybe his community would have gotten it and also benifited from the cash.
And yes, it is all of our fault from past instances.
BS it is NOT our fault that they haven't been able to do anything with their lives 4 or 5 generations after the atrocities comitted against their tribes. I didn't do them, my father didn't, his father didn't, his father before that wasn't even in this country. I will not take the blame for something that happened 100 years ago, and the decendents of the victems shouldn't keep whining about how bad they have it because of what happened to their great great grand parents.
I'm not benifiting from it any more than any Native American born in the last 100 years. It's not like there are fences around the reservations keeping them in, they've been free to do as they please for as long or longer than my ancestors have been here.
Exactly how do I benifit and they don't? It's not like I can setup a nearly tax free business, fish as much as I'd like without regard to the laws, hunt when I like regardless of the laws and so on.
Playing the victem card is getting very old and tiresome.
You're correct, it's disabled by default so far. In SP2 MS claims it will be on by default. That will of course cause many problems for people, but it will hopefully stop the rapid spread of some worms too.
They'd probably have to pay *more* tax in an income tax state.
Possibly, but any state MS was looking at going to would also likely give them a ton of tax breaks to move to their state. Even here Washington was offering Boeing tons of tax breaks to stay, apparently the deal wasn't sweet enough though.
I belive the way it works is they can only copyright the presentation of the information, not the information itself. Data, facts, recipies are excluded from being copyrighted in the US.
Yeah right. Do you really hope that happens? Do you also hope that you'll win lotto and shack up with a nympho super model who digs threesomes? They have about the same chance of happening. Actually the second is far more likely.
Micrsoft IS NOT going to use Mozilla, any hope that they will is just delusional.
Seriously, with Win2003 the search really blows, I have better success finding files using the search feature in Ultra Edit than in the built in Windows search.
If you don't watch it why would it matter to you whether or not it is cancelled?
Because UPN is spending money and resources on Enterprise when they could be spending it on something better...like Firefly.
Actually I don't really care one way or the other, I watch it sometimes but it's far from my favorite show. If Enterprise is canceled I hope they replace it with something better, if it's not I'll watch it on occation.
Why do you hate linking to surveys as a general rule? Fear of tainting the results by inserting a large number of results that won't give an accurate sample? Like, say: a large amount of traffic from tech news site?
Any self selecting survey like this is tainted by design and not reliable regardless predictor of anything, whether it's linked from a tech news site or not. For example:
Self-selecting polls only report the results of people who cared one way or another to either call a particular number, reply by email or are willing to be interviewed in person in a public place (think of mall surveys). The results cannot be generalized beyond those who choose to answer.

According to the article a touch only made the person being shocked weak in the knees, and he's not a very big guy. So while this might be an interesting project and will likely be great fun for some people at frat parties it seems useless as a stun gun.
Alot of K-12 teachers still get paid essentially crap wages.
That's teachers union propoganda. The average teacher in the US makes nearly $42,000 / year. Factoring in an extra 35 days of work that the rest of us work every year brings the average teacher salary to $52,541.
If that's true, then the arabic computing world is a lot more computer literate than the US/American computing world.
Since the article said only 10% of households even have a computer I doubt that's the case. Estimates say 50% of US households have a computer. Owning a computer certainly doesn't automatically conferr literacy, but with 5x as many (percentage wise) owning computers it would be safe to assume that the average American is more computer literate than the average Arab.
A better hybrid could be produced that utilizes an electric motor for the propulsion, and a fixed rpm diesel to produce electricity, regeneration from coasting and braking, and an additional sterling engine to capture heat from the coolant and the exhaust manifold.
That's how a lot of the larger construction equipment and trains work today. Diesel engine to generate electricity which powers an electric motor that actually moves the vehicle.

Neither was IE when Win95 was first released. IE was part of the Plus Pak that was sold seperately. Look where it is today.
Now with that history, in spite of the anti-trust verdicts, what do you think MS will do with AV software over the next 5-10 years?
Of course this question has never been asked and answered with thousands of opinions on Usenet.
Maybe because he doesn't want to take the time to burn 500+ DVD's, or store them or have to swap through them to get to that juicy bit he's downloaded.
how do you google for a word you do not know exists?
Do you really not know how to look up new information? Ever heard of a Thesaurus?
That's totally irrelevant to being able to judge if code is well written or not.

I wonder what they changed (broke) in Firefox, it works fine in Mozilla 1.7b.

What are the copyright laws in Italy? I doubt they'll be going by whatever is defined as copyrighted anywhere else.

Whooo hooo, something for Kerry to raise taxs over if he gets elected in November.
