Why is it still in development?

Mozilla 1.7 Released

Why are they still developing Mozilla instead of just developing Firefox, Thunderbird, and the core? Firefox, Thunderbird are still pet projects. That is why their development is so slow. Firefox has been in development for a lot of time.
Akamai, this is what happened? Akamai and the rest of the big bussiness that offer servers. Decentralized net seems to be comming to an end. Big server businesses claim 24/7 and no outages; this crap happens, and countless sites go down.
Also, add more threading. After you open a 3-5 tabs, Firefox slows down so much that it is unusable for a few seconds. That is one of my second reasons i use Opera 7.51.
We've seen what can happen to languages when countries get conquered. English is one of the best examples. Try to read some old English to see for yourself. With XPL (Extensible Programming Language), you cannot say anymore that I know C++, or I know C#. Someone will ask you to maintain some code, and you'll take a look at it and have no idea what is going on, until you learn the extensions. This will happen over and over again with every project you are supposed to maintain. This is BRAIN FRYING and huge possibilities for mistakes. It is just like waking up everyday and being asked to speak in another human language. Today English, tomorrow French, the day after tomorrow Bengali, can you do it?
It happened to Spain, it should happen to China too. I find this very weird since you would expect the Chinese to use their SPAM infrastructure to spread cummunist propaganda, not penis enlargment e-mails. The commies have the power to shut those servers down. What are they waiting for? They put a filter to monitor and and control the people's access to the net. They can do the same with SPAM. Or, better yet, raid those locations where the servers are, find the spammers, put them all against the wall and frag them!
I'm not sure on this, but I don't think that Daimler Chrysler ownes Mercedes. I think that they have a partenership with Mercedes to bring Mercedes to United States. By the way the European Mercedes are way cooler (larger, look better) than the US versions, but it costs a fortune to import one from Germany.
The project is cool, but unfortunetly it may never be fully usable. The target goal is for it to run at host/10 speed. For those of you who have used vmware (not an emulator) know that it can be quite slow, and its speed is way faster than host/10. Right now, it works at a speed host/500 or host/40. You know how people are, once the host/10 is reached he might just say to himself "I can do a little better," and host/9, host/8, host/7... One day, it might be usable.
I'd love for Apple to release OS X on x86. There are some rumours of an x86 version being developed inside Apple for the day that they might switch to Intel. I am quite tired of the beige computer that I have in front of my face. The thing is that I will never by their overpriced hardware.
For those of you that say that Apple will die if they switch to x86, I think that you are wrong. People don't care about the processor. When people buy a Mac, they buy the whole package:
- the good looking monitor
- the good looking tower
- the good looking keyboard
- the good looking mouse
- the good looking speakers
- the good looking OS X.
I believe that they can get a lot of the market if the lower the price and switch to x86. In the past few months they have sold more iPods than macs, this should be a red flag that they have to do something about those prices.
We all know that the hardware price is a ripoff. What I am wondering is if there is a scheme where the price from hardware goes to sofware. OS X comes with a ton of software for $130, while XP $300 comes with a crappy browser and notepad. They might be making the sofware look cheap and put hidden charges in the hardware. It is possible that I am wrong, but who trusts businesses this days?
It is normal for a story to turn this way

This is human nature. As much as we like "bad girls" or "bad boys", we always pick the good. In 90% of the stories, the hero (mostly good) wins.
"The price of Bugatti's?" What the hell? Damn form completetion. The title was supposed to be something else which now has been forgoten.

XVID 1.0 Released

I believe that there was an article a few weeks ago on Slashdot where DIVX was on top. Great effort dudes! Congrats on reaching 1.0. The truth is that I downlad more XVID than DIVX files, but I use the DIVX codec to view them on the PC, since it supports both. On the XBOX, I use XBMC, which uses the XVID codec to play XVID files. I still do not understand why there is so much difference between all this MPEG4 codecs. MPEG4 should be MPEG4, just like pure water is pure water.
Bloody hell, I am going to a law school. $3000/hour is crazy and sounds great. I do not understand why MS is bitching about the fees; it is still pocket change for them. Why should the consumers have to pay for their criminal conduct? They can't be so greedy that they will pass the bill to the consumers. They do have $50 billion in the bank. A few news stories on this, a few ugly bugs (security issues), and they'll lose many customers. The potential loss is bigger than the gain if they pass the bill to the consumers. Remember, this was the lawyer talking, not someone who makes the decisions at Microsoft.
When I have heard about it, I have said to mysef that I will be the first to sign up. No matter how much storage they'll give me, I will not sign up until they also give POP3/IMAP/SMTP. I love Opera's 7.5 M2 client. I don't care if they show ads from the data in my email as long as they don't use names.

Opera's M2 is still better than Thunderbird.

I'm not happy until they release 400 GiB (gibibytes) hard drives.
How does KDE and GNOME handle on FreeBSD 5.x? Is it just as slow?
This is may no be a new chip. This could be the same chip overclocked. That is why they have that cooler.
The US patent office needs to be shut down. This patents are getting ridicules. Tomorrow I'll probably see a patent on a new sex position.

Indeed! No one gives a shite about this. There are key generators for xp out there!

Indeed! IBM should also make SCO pay their legal fees. This should destroys some of their financial assets.

The reason why the do that is to rip people off. There have law suits launched against them.
1 terabyte = 1 048 576 megabyte This is base 2 people, not base 10.

I was talking about broadband DSL in United States.
Common, this is pure ripoff. Most ISPs charge $30 for a month of Internet access service.

How about "DO NO EVIL" to apply not only to Google, but also, to its users.
