Basically it's going to work like Debian or Gentoo in that the releases are really just milestones and the whole thing is instantly upgradable to "current" at any point.
I'd hope this will be fixed before Mozilla 1.5 goes out of beta. It's clearly a major hurdle to widespread adoption.
I'm fairly sure if they were worried about widespread adoption they wouldn't have the "not for end-users" warning firmly affixed.
Besides, the GCC 3.2 ABI changes effect everything, not just Mozilla. They broke compatibility badly this once, with the idea that they would never have to do it again.
Well, be careful. I have seen newbies with legitimate questions get RTFMs there; just not in that form. Rather, they're typically delivered in a less mean-spirited way. For example, someone posting "I got this error message: _______. What does it mean? What do I do?" might get a response of "Google is your friend for this sort of thing. I googled on that error message and got this webpage (________), which has an explanation and a solution." Sometimes a link to Eric Raymond's "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" will be provided, as well. Much kinder than an RTFM, but in the same vein.
User to #debian: "Just give me that fish and stop babbling about rods and reels!"
I thought it was clear that the message was that people are stupid and thus fear anything that is different from themselves. Oh, and we would rather have someone killed than to suffer loss of profit.
That's the real danger here -- consumer hardware that will only run Windows or a Linux kernel that delegates OS policy to whomever corporate America appoints as "trusted". Say goodbye to everything described in all the man pages in section 2.
What really confuses me about all this DRM/Paladium stuff is how their supporters expect the next generation of programmers to come into existence. It would be annoying if my "Hello, World!" program couldn't execute on my own computer without being signed by some external "authority", whom I would have to pay for the honor.

What I am saying is, it dosen't matter how good your encryption is if you hafto publish the source to your decryptor, wouldnt you be able to make a decryptor that dosen't require a key or something?
The version of this that was mailed out had no such warning, and got me for about 15 minutes. It's actually very well written, and it wasn't until after I stopped taking it seriously that I could laugh at how silly it was.
Actually the Senate is not disbanded until ANH. (Otherwise how would Leia have been able to be a Senator...)
There is a scene in ANH aboard the Death Star where Vader and Tarkin enter the room in the middle of a meeting and anounce that the Emperor has just disolved the Senate.

Linux Mainframe?
This is incorrect. It may very well be free if your institution is one of those beta testing MSDN-AA.

I used to use the old EGA graphics version of Prodigy. This was pre-Internet connectivity, however.
(release the hounds!)
I personally don't see how the words "research" and "robust" can't be together. Actually, I find it pretty strange people would make that assumption.

It is, however, a counterpoint to the "the machines are evil" theme that runs through the first movie.
Taken together they present a different picture than they do on their own.

Doesn't Mozilla already have a "move or resize new windows" Javascript restrict option? Phoenix does, so I would guess Mozilla would too.
Generating an arbitrary correct key would be a massively computationly intensive project- *For each key*.
Isn't DivX embedded in an OGM streamable?
I've always seen him drawn close to that. I imagine it's to enhance the image of Hulk as a monster.

Well, since the 'G' in "Gnilla Wafers" would be silent, I can see that being confusing....
Yeah, one difference was that in the novel, the final destination was a moon of Saturn, instead of of moon of Jupiter like in the movie.
What makes this interesting though, is that the second book (2010) takes off from the movie and places the final scene from 2001 at Jupiter.
