  1. Re:Umm.. Just a question... on Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing · · Score: 2

    1) dont care.. If anything I find this annoying.

    How long did you actually use this? Have you /ever/ used it?

    The very first time I tried it, I stumbled, closed the wrong windows, and thought "man, this is a step back." But I kept working with it.

    Now, I'm never going back. Middle-click mapped to "open in new tab" let's me browse articles with ease. An article has links to 3 sites that look interesting. I middle-click and it opens the tabs /behind/ the current one I'm reading; never obscuring what I'm currently doing. I finish the article, go to the next tab to see what the first link was all about, go to the next tab after I'm done with that, etc. It's fantastic. It's made browsing so much better.

    that would be "keen on" not "keeon"

  3. Re:No more .zip? on Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing · · Score: 2

    I was wondering about that myself. I'm not too keeon on the installers as I've had problems with them in the past (profile corruption when updating). The .zips are always nice for testing (as you pointed out).

  4. Re:No major news, and still a memory hog on Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing · · Score: 2

    It's pretty ironic that Kmeleon is so fast when development has been so slow :) I'm still anxious for 0.7 but this delay is just silly.

    You need 2 things.

    1. a physics class
    2. a photography class

    Then you'll realize that your small, handheld, point-and-shoot camera will never be able to do what you want it to.

    You'll be buying the digital SLR with the f/1.4 lens soon enough.

  7. Re:I don't see the point? on Old PowerBook + Hot Glue = Cheap Digital Picture Frame · · Score: 2

    Actually I was thinking that perhaps a firewall box hidden in the living room w/ a monitor on a shelf might not make a bad picture viewer too. With broadband, the firewall would be on all the time anyway, why not have it display images too.

    Of course, the monitor draws a ton of power making it more wasefull than a headless firewall box but it's an idea.

  8. Re:beauty of the BSD license. on Taking MicroBSD for a Test Run · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If it's allowed by the license, then it's not stealing. Someone obviously made a concious decision to release the software under the BSD license. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

  9. Re:mechanics of anonymous million dollar transfers on Million-Dollar Donation To Fight Abusive Copyrights · · Score: 1

    If the person that donated the money did so through legal cousel or other such representative they (the unversity) may not know. (I give money to x with the written instructions to distribute to y parties. Y parties receive money from x but not from me.)

    You can bet your bottom dollar that the Feds know who it is though.

  10. spooky and neat on Sony Presents Bluetooth Digital Camera · · Score: 2

    A friend of mine and I were /just/ talking about this sort of thing this past weekend. (Without any prior knowledge of Sony's work).

    The way figured it is that cameras can get smaller if the storage was moved off the device. I didn't really think about lugging a laptop around (though that is a good idea) but more a portable device like the iPod. Have your camera transfer pictures to the same device that's storing and playing your mp3s. I mean, with 20 GB of space, you could leave 3 GB free for pics for an afternoon. The iPod-type device is already on your person so range isn't an issue.

  13. Re:themes on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 2

    Ah, then I apply blame squarely on the lack of coffee yesterday.

    Orbit is fantastic, especially with the new smaller icon option one can add to the chrome.css file. Also, Lopburi Flat is a great minimalistic theme.

    It's amazing at how much faster Mozilla can be with a less intensive theme.

    There's a bunch of themes. And if you don't like the ones you see, then make your own! :)

    Well, I know it's not but you continue to live that way. Do you just like the irony or is it a lack of a frontal lobe?

    Of course people give a flying fuck. You do because you've posted how many responses now? I think it's great that you care so much, it proves my point perfectly.

    What's so funny is that you still don't get it. Even though I've never once mentioned the merits of the case, you keep going on and on. And as anon too because your Karma must be sooo important to you.

    Wow! You can read, Knox.

    And it's still 100% true. But your trolling, thank goodness, says nothing on the merits of the case, just on your lack of intelligence.

    To quote your own post:

    "Zilla means nothing, and is only used in Godzilla."

    I proved you wrong. I never said one thing about the merits of the case. I simply and quite quickly pointed out to you that Zilla does not, in fact, mean "nothing."
