Fine. If we could go back in time and wipe out all 20th century music, that would be just great. Imagine living in a world where people actually appreciated Beethoven.
(Okay, we'd want to keep jazz, but you can't really notate that music anyway.)
what type of priority creating a standards-compliant web app is in other companies, and if that priority is being raised given the benefits of creating pages that separate structure from style from behavior.
Extremely high priority, and yes.
One big reason: lower total cost of maintainability.
I watched part of the NASA press conference today on CSPAN-2. One of the NASA engineers stated that they have reason to believe it is not a hardware problem.
Ergo, it is a software problem.
Next time, I hope to hell that NASA uses the world's best and most reliable RTOS. That would be QNX, of course.
It's a power game. Executives are the titular heads of the company. The IT people are the ones who really run many of the most important operations of the business. The executives want to know what the IT people know so that they can control the IT people and hence their business.
If all the IT people in the business get together and say: "We'll help but first we want more managerial authority and higher paychecks," you will have them right where you want them.
If you don't like that, do this.
Executive asks you for specific information on IT.
You start talking about your low salary, the fact that you don't have a managerial title, the fact that you don't have an office yet, the fact that your salary isn't as high as you like it.
Executive again asks you for specific information on IT.
You repeat what you just said.
Executive makes promises of rewards. Repeats question.
You say you want some rewards now for your long, hard service. Then you tantalize the exec with vague details that sound amazingly important and yet aren't specific enough to do more than whet exec's appetite.
MozillaFirebird runs almost anything that Mozilla runs. If Oracle has something that works with one, it will work with the other, and if it doesn't, Oracle can make it work on both very easily.
As someone else pointed out, the Mozilla Application Suite will continue to exist, even as MozillaFirebird emerges as the premier product of the Mozilla Organization.
If you have Microsoft Proxy Server or some other NTLM proxy at work or wherever, take a good hard look at 1.6. It's the first Mozilla version to have a built-in NTLM solution.
For the first time, Mozilla will work on many corporate networks.

Mozilla 1.6 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
That is not quite right
If you plan to install 1.6 to the same subdirectory in which you have 1.2, yes, you should uninstall 1.2 before installing 1.6.
If you plan to install 1.6 to a brand spanking new subdirectory, you need not uninstall 1.2. You should always use different profiles for different versions of Mozilla.
BTW, you should uninstall 1.2 anyway. It has major bugs. In terms of stability, version 1.4.1, for instance, is to 1.2 as a granite rock is to gray goo.
American space station had mysteriously stopped communicating. Iron Man was called to investigate why. He donned his space armor, entered orbit, and paid a visit. Holes had been ripped in the hull. He found a few dead astronauts. He was attacked by a monster. Out of nowhere its shark-like toothful maw nearly sawed his head off. Firing his repulsors, Iron Man defended himself. It was ten feet tall, green, moved like lightning, and strong enough to rip apart steel beams. It could live for days in a vacuum. A terrifically intense battle involving wits and guts. Iron Man figured out that the monster was created by the government. The government wanted to create an invincible super soldier. Shell Head was running out of air, fell to the ground, and was about to die. With his last breath, he tried to restore air pressure in the station. The monster was about to smack him with its gnarly claw, but then it was surrounded by air. It started choking to death. To the monster, oxygen was poison. It landed with a thud. Iron Man took off his mask to breathe the frigid air. Through his misty exhales, the unhelmeted superhero muttered, "What I don't understand was 'Why? Why?'" An eerie, wavering voice said, "I was just doing my job." With that, the monster expired.
The reporter, Miles O'Brien, may not be a rocket scientist like you, but as reporters go, he is very science-savvy and space-savvy.
When he said "15 watts of information" I of course winced. Yet, as his voice trailed off, I became convinced that it was just a misstatement. If you regularly see Miles O'Brien cover space for CNN, you would understand that he basically gets it.
To mock him for one minor misstatement in the midst of great celebration and emotion would be the ultimate in elitist geek exclusion, and is just the mirror reverse of what happens to geeks in their youth. It is cruel.
Furthermore, those precious few journalists who take an avid interest in science and space should be encouraged. If they need to be educated, educate them. Don't mock them, though. We need them.
Dude, when our grandkids watch Star Wars, they should be able to watch the episodes in order, I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and still get the shock of Ep V: ESB. If Darth Vader is revealed as Anakin in Ep III, future generations will have to watch them in the order of: Episode: IV, V, VI, I, II, III. Isn't that right?
That script needs to be criticized, however. We should not see Darth Vader in Ep III at all. That would preserve suspense on who Darth Vader is until the end of ESB.
BTW, I still like the plot idea talked about on Usenet a while back. That would be more of an emotional scene between Anakin and Padme.
I always liked ion engines. Back in the star frontiers, when I was a ranger, my commando team would hide in a freighter's hold. Listening to that steady purr of the ion engine made the days before hitting down the warp pass quickly by. We played jimble-jack, and 3-D chess, sure, but mostly you just sat on your ass on a crate smoking sourweed. It was kind of rough, because one of my comrades was a Vrusk, and the other was a Yazirian. They didn't like one another. Plus, the male and female Dralasites kept humping. It got to smell pretty bad in that hold. Eventually, we unwarped. We sneaked up to a Sathar and pirate base. They thought we were just smugglers, but they wouldn't have, except for that ion engine. Old, but reliable. We lost a lot of men that day, dammit all. And the Vrusk. Had to mercy kill him with a laser pistol. It was worth it, though. Disabled their chemical rocket system. We killed or captured the entire lot of bad guys. There was dead worm everywhere. The vibroblade was whirring that day, I'll tell you. It was beautiful. At that point, the base was about to fall into an event horizon, but with our trusty ion engine freighter, we got out of there, right before a dual star system was sucked into the black hole, which created a supernova.
Yes. Nigeria has such a reputation for obsolete browsers. What is with that? Equatorial Guinea regularly pulls the latest CVS of MozillaFirebird, for gosh sakes. Why can't Nigeria?

Hmmmm. That's weird. I can't see any aliens. Where are the fricking aliens?
Yes. That would be a political misjudgment stated in a cool and collected way, not a scientific misstatement made in the heat of celebration.

Once you've gotten used to 20+ tabs and flipping between them instaneously, watch out. Mozilla is like the crack of the Internet. Highly addictive.
Or the Vrusk, from Star Frontiers.
Starbuck is NOT a woman.
I loved this show.
Now they have taken it and ruined it.
Damn those &#&#^#@&#$*# to hell.
This is great news. Once we have the 42nd, we will know the secret of the universe.
