I don't think AOL cares about the OS community. I could be wrong, but I don't think that AOL has ported any of their own software to any *nix. and I don't think that Sun and IBM are much different in their support of open source.
what it looks like to me is a bunch of corporations see a good product that they can use free of charge and want to dump some cash into it to ensure it stays alive long enough for them to use it to their advantage, namely hitting MS and stealing away some customers.
they don't need to understand what they're doing. all they need to do is give them money (which they've done) and bundle moz with their products. if AOL starts shipping their silver spam platters with moz instead of their own browser, word about moz is going to spread damn fast and IE will instantly be threatened.
nyet, comerade. AOL and Netscape are still beingk supporting Mozilla.
The Mozilla Foundation will also promote the distribution and adoption of our flagship applications based on that code. AOL, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Red Hat, and other companies will continue to support Mozilla through the Foundation.

off the front page of the site. Moz continues to get its support, they're just polishing up a bat to hit Gates with a few times.

I guess Mozilla's ready to actively try to knock IE down.
you're assuming that because he's "the One" in a particular layer of the Matrix that he's "the One" in all the rest. he doesn't have to be. after all, if I load up Populous or Black and White, I'm a god. but in reality, I'm just a grumpy infantryman/computer geek.... or at least this layer of reality....
just out of curiosity, how? the closest thing to an easily navigatable movie that I could invision in flash would be one that let you skip back and forth between scenes, sort of like chapters on a DVD only shorter.
even if all of the crap installed as IE plugins doesn't get started, all of the other stuff would have still gotten loaded into memory. just because bullshit aps aren't doing anything doesn't mean they're not sitting there taking up resources.
Mozilla doesn't NEED Google toolbar. it comes with the ability to do Google (and other) searches as soon as you install it.

Anyone who gets seriously upset about something that happens in a VR game needs to find another hobby.
but that's precisely the point of making the games as immersive as possible, so that people WILL feel a distinct connection to their character. if you DON'T feel something when someone does something to your character, then the game obviously isn't doing its job.
that said, comparing actual rape to virtual rape is like comparing a simple auto accident with scrapes and bruises to a GTA-style mass hit and run; yeah, they're both wrong, but there's a significant difference in the severity.
get over it? bah. the main complaint that D&D gamers have over the price increase is that when TSR was in charge, you had to go out of your way to find a book or module that cost more than 25 bucks.
combine a price hike for each of the core books and you've got a significant change in cost for any serious players. at least when AD&D came out, we got a lot of extra content over the first edition to make shelling out the cash worth it.
I highly doubt that WotC would be taking a loss if they had left the prices alone, anyways. No, the price increase is because the bastards know that we'll buy it because we've been hooked on the damn game for many years now and we'll have to upgrade to keep pace.
I haven't seen the film yet, but if I'm understanding correctly, the cell detonated inside the bunker. Speaking as someone that's trained on explosives a fair bit, there's a significant difference between a bomb hitting the outside of a structure and one detonating inside of it.
when an explosion occurs within a building, the shockwave will rebound around until it runs out of kinetic energy, crushing or cutting everything in its path, depending on the type of charge used.
when it goes off outside, much of the energy is lost to the air. even a shaped charge will lose a good deal of force without some sort of tamping.
a better example would be the many sim dating games that have been made in Flash. you can find a hell of a lot of them on newgrounds. I think they've got an entire catagory for them. I'd post a more exact link, but I'm behind my work's firewall at the moment.
the assets do have real worth. the fifty bucks the player spent to play the game, plus whatever the monthly fee is. they didn't shell out the money to have some idiots harass them, they spent the money to play the game.
the changes are marked with asterixes. they're nothing very amazing or anything that we haven't already found out or figured out, but they're there if you feel like reading it.
I'm pretty sure mcdonald's doesn't have a game department.
they buy all their toys from other companies. so it makes sense that they'd just get with sega and do a cross promotion, as opposed to whoever the piddly little companies that usually make their toys.
that is a fucking genius idea. I don't drink much soda, but if I were to get some money off my next purchase, you'd better believe that I'd hold onto that can and recycle it instead of tossing it away.
there's also another factor at play: sense of possession. most men that would want a female character don't want some off-the-rack model, they want a specific type/look of character. there's only one way to get a character that looks like you want it to: roll it yourself.
face it, if you're playing in third person and you're staring at an ass for all of your game time, you want an ass that was made for you to stare at, not someone else....not that I've done anything like that before....

but I suppose if they get enough people sending them a grand and asking about a plushie dino, they might start making them.

it's still there. it still looks the same, too. think of mozilla foundation as mozilla's lobbyists. except they're fighting for marketshare, not laws.
if you donate $1,000 or more, you get a Mozilla Dinosaur plushie doll.

"... wreak havoc on visiting neighbors, or put an end to their tedious chores."
why do I get the mental image of a Sim looking at a neighbor and a sink full of dishes and then yelling, "VAS POR FLAM!"?
