most certainly neither. the patches haven't been applied to any release of safari, stable, beta, or otherwise. the headline is very misleading -- it should read "Safari Developer Takes on Acid2 challenge".
perhaps because iPods are among the only portable music players left which do not ship with recording capabilities -- recording lectures with a Neuros is run of the mill, but with an iPod, you've overcome the limitations of the gadget.
but garage band is not used by any intermediate or advanced musicians, and many musicians have migrated away from apple platforms. perhaps this is why mogwai included the instrumental tracks for their single in platform- and application- agnostic WAV format.
and no... this isn't huge. it won't "catch on", and although Eno was ahead of his time, neither musicians nor fans want music to become a "user-modifiable construct".
I would much rather see some attention paid to the very annoying bug 60307, which has been open for five years, and affects functionality on relevant OS platforms...
since Firefox does not have any code related to hibernation or PDF rendering, it is obvious that external applications or OS subsystems are responsible for the problems you're experiencing.
The release should hold for a few more days and we could also get bug 171349 (wrong icon displayed on Win9x) fixed
oh? I wasn't aware Win9x was worth supporting anymore... you *must* be trolling. I'd much rather have a security fix now than to wait for some ridiculous cosmetic bug on a 3rd-tier platform.
you will need to install the 32-bit emulation libraries. they are in app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* . the emulation libraries will enable you to run, for example, 32-bit mozilla binaries with the java and flash plugins; doom 3; acrobat reader...
you can do mental gymnastics all day long on the difference between real news and some "blogger" pasting garbage into movable type, but in the end you still know that they contain less accurate, less complete information, presented in a less impartial way.
sure, journalists keep web logs. this does not make web loggers journalists.
sure, individuals produce amateur newspapers. they're called 'zines' and no one takes them seriously, except perhaps as an artistic medium.
if you create a web log and call it "glass news" or something, then it's still a web log, and I still don't care to read it.
if you learn principles of journalism, hire a staff of writers, fact-checkers, and editors, and then help them to organize a process to verify sources and cross-check what's published -- well, then you have a newspaper that's worthy of public exposure.
and that sounds a lot like the so-called "old media", doesn't it? they do things that way for a reason. one person cannot provide a balanced perspective on the news, and no one person's web log should be taken seriously as a source for news.
"WE LOVE THE POLICE STATE" Pro-War Rally in Palm Springs, California
A huge group of nearly 40 Palm Springs fanatical pro-war supporters showed their patriotic spirit in a rally for President Bush and our brave young men and women on the front lines near Syria.
The demonstration occurred on Good Friday, April 18, on the opposite side of the downtown street where peace activists had gathered for an Easter candlelight peace vigil.
The "pro-war" supporters waved American Flags, chanted slogans in fierce support of war, death, and killing. Holiday traffic drove by and honked in approval of the flags and signs that read:
"Freedom Is The Enemy", "Bomb My Car", "Get A Brain Morans", "Iraq Out Of Iraq", "Draft My Child", "Send Our Infants", "Soccer Moms For Blood", "I Want More Meat", "War Is Peace", "I'm Pro-Life And Pro-Death", "Stop Reporting The Facts", "Peace Is For The Afterlife", "Bush Is The Savior", "This Is No Time For Thinking","Pro-Bush Lesbian", and "Ask Me About My Iraqi Killing Honor Student" among other slogans....which begs the question, who is more of a moron, this guy or the people that thought he was for real?:D
Slashdot Mirror
well, don't they usually? and also blogs?
most certainly neither. the patches haven't been applied to any release of safari, stable, beta, or otherwise. the headline is very misleading -- it should read "Safari Developer Takes on Acid2 challenge".
oh good. lemme just apply them to my safari sourc-- oh... wait... nevermind.
actually, none of the IT people I work with run Windows. it's the KDE users we're writing off.
yes! it handles such long long words!
this is what we refer to as "close enough".
alright, guys. redundant i can understand -- but flamebait? come on!
xine and mplayer have had this for years. pssshht
perhaps because iPods are among the only portable music players left which do not ship with recording capabilities -- recording lectures with a Neuros is run of the mill, but with an iPod, you've overcome the limitations of the gadget.
so, file a bug report. sheesh!
there are reliable statistics to suggest that it's less than 5%, actually.

whoa there friend ... you post on slashdot, and you run win9x?
it's a one-liner. it compiles. deal.

i'm not sure you'll be able to grasp it (since you are a web-logger), but it's kind of like the difference between a congress and a dictator.
okay. stop right there. why the fuck would i *read* a web log?

Fails silently on amd64. I will stick to gpdf.
