The story you Geeks rave about being a classic is nothing compared to what children over here in India read in some of the magazines for children ( or atleast used to read ).
And these stories are nothing compared to the other story that you have a low opinion of. Even if a little loong with 6 hrs of screen time, sparking the view that what you think/see/feel might not be real is definitely cool compared to the fantasy crap
(Karma be damned; I am no better than an AC anyway)
and don't forget to mail (from some non-spam-catchable blahblahblah address) your boss proof-of-crash links that you find in the latest IE vulnerability reports nicely disguised as 'click me to view your fortune today'
and if you have the access, install a few of those weird, extremely irritating toolbars that can eat up the window space in no time
To be honest, that your boss doesn't even think of suggesting you to switch over from IE let alone compel all you people means that he deserves to lose business; so why bother?! let the IE rampage continue

Well I am not going to install the shockwave plugin ( actually "can't" because I use a linux distro that doesn't yet have a shockwave plugin. Lindows or linspire has i suppose)
But what should I do with the "Default Plugin" dialog that pops-up saying This page contains information of a type ( application/x-shockwave) that can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in. Click OK to download Plugin.
everytime it finds some object tag for shockwave
Please try browsing through a site with some stupid shockwave animation in all the pages using firefox. You would switch over to something else saner like Opera in 5 minutes. Firefox would be a much loved one if the developers remember to put in a "Pester Me Not" button along with OK and CANCEL.
I atleast need an option to tell the stupid browser that I don't need a rich web experience ( Or may be I am too retarded to find out some option hidden in some config file )
The downside is they sometimes trash your hard drive
If the government does such a thing as part of some anti-pron drive you people laud it but when a good hearted plugin does that it becomes a downside!?!
Not that I would support it, but if there existed applications similar to squid or some p2p caching apps for the telephone networks, I am dead sure there would have been some or the other discussions like this regarding telcos as well
Disable loading of images by default which is the best thing to do
and when you get to a page where you need to view the images, just press 'g' (without quotes;) ) and voila there your images appear That you can enable this per-tab is an extremely good option in Opera. In IE and Firefox enabling/disabling images seem to get applied to all windows/tabs which is quite annoying to say the least. I guess there'd be some plugin available for both those browsers but needless to say people like me would be too lazy to search for things
Had switched to 0.9 from 0.8 only yesterday, just renamed the 0.8 directory to firefox0.8 and extracted the 0.9 tar.
And the switch was a breeze, 0.9 imported all my bookmarks and settings from 0.8. The only problem being that the theme I was using earlier isn't available yet for 0.9 officially, so I just placed the old theme jar file in ~/.mozilla/firefox/default.6mx/extensions/{36C 13C8 F-54F1-412e-8177-2E411719162D}/chrome and renamed oldTheme.jar to Qute.jar It simply works:)
But after an hour or so after doing this, a little '0' (some icon in my oldTheme's missing) started appearing on firefox's statusbar and when I click it the 'Firefox Update' dialog pops up. But it says "Firefox was not able to find any available updates.\nFirefox encountered problems when trying to find updates for some items. &Details"
Even after this/. story about the update, it's still the same:( I guess I'll have to check where exactly it's connecting to to check for the updates and verify that that address is correct
You can find a similar one named Task Gallery that MS Research has been working on
They atleast have done a good job saying NOTE: This web site is only meant to support the video. Watching the video is the best way to get a feel for this novel user-interface. You can't do justice to something in 3d with screenshots. Sun seems to have lost the point and placed just screenshots in their site ( you can find the links for the videos a few posts above this though )
Inspite of all the efforts going into such things, how effective do you think would such technologies be with our current input devices like the keyboard and mice and output devices like the monitors? However these I guess would be the standard interfaces once we jump into the *real* 3d world in the future. (Proof: The Virtual Control room of Zion in the Matrix Reloaded;) )
Recommending explorer users to use mozilla/firefox is fine.
From the article The attack takes advantage of several recently discovered security flaws in Microsoft's Internet browser and Internet Information Services Web software. Microsoft released a patch in April to fix one security hole in its Internet browser; the company is still working on a patch for the other flaw, which security researchers publicly detailed less than two weeks ago.
But a recommendation for the people running web servers that are vulnerable to this attack would *really* have been more useful. Excuse me if there's already some recommendation (Having a link to that in the news item'd have been better in that case)
So you take your original HP 128 Meg sodimm card, mail it back to them, get a new one, and a 32Mbyte USB flash memory key with an HP logo on it for the cost of postage.
A really greedy cheap bastard would have sold it as soon as the card was out of the box
I am sorrry but I wasn't specifically referring to openBSD which, to be honest, I have never even tried
It certainly might not be the case with openBSD. Hope this doesn't sound like flamebait, but another OS, that is the favorite of many a/.ers here, that we use generally gets a kernel upgrade patch every next month. And this is not with the latest and greatest version. Not that I have any cribs about the OS but making sure that the update doesn't break any of your custom modules or something else working properly now and then upgrading the actual systems even if only 4-5 would be a real pain
"Notable achievments include a kernel compile in around 80 seconds."
Hope that such compile times on the developers' systems would result in kernels that wouldn't need a recompilation/replacement for years on systems in production
You can check this for info about some bacteria that survive in vacuum and some bacteria that have actually been declared "living" after 30 million years
The article says about spores, "In terms of our computer analogy, a bacterial spore is like a handheld calculator that has repackaged itself into its original protective shipping carton and turned itself off."
You can definitely not rule the chance of some unknown volcano or thermal source down there, inspite of the ice over the surface
Who knows, may be some organisms are out there surviving on the very little heat from the earth's core (that's a little too imaginative but you can't say it's impossible)

( Or may be I am too retarded to find out some option hidden in some config file )
they will only need to create 2 plug-ins in order to cover the majority of the browsers.
Why 2 plugins!?!
Because it's going to be open-source, we only need to wait for someone to create an ActiveX control that can load these plugins
So plug-in creators need to create only 1 plug-in to cover all the browsers (ok! excepting ones like lynx)
The downside is they sometimes trash your hard drive
If the government does such a thing as part of some anti-pron drive you people laud it but when a good hearted plugin does that it becomes a downside!?!
"Where" is equality!?
No one can get rid of us fanboys
Atleast so long as we to stick to our current version 2.8.3 of lynx

I guess the main difference is that in the MS products, viewing images is turned on by default (atleast in the ones I had used 2 years ago)
I don't remember the default in the one I use now, evolution, but I don't think it was enabled out of the source.
Exactly the same thing that struck me when I read that
But a smart extortionist would be browsing the net with links/lynx or opera with images turned off
but this guy doesn't seem to be a techie stupid; only a non-digital-real-world stupid
