    Umm, yes, that's why the USA whipped your ass in curling during the 2000 summer olympics (to win the gold medal, also), while more than 90% of all Americans don't have a clue as to the first thing about curling.

  7. Re:Interesting... on Mozilla's Major New Roadmap · · Score: 1

    yes, i agree with you. I tried phoenix when it was first released, and in some respects I am not surprised to see it replace mozilla development. for IE to crash even once per week would be abnormal for my usage and i use it everyday. i don't use it for anything else but personal use, however. i read also that the name phoenix going to have to be changed because of legal reasons, and they'll announce the already chosen new name soon. what would you say is the main difficulty when IE crashes when you doing web development stuff?

    I don't intend to diss Netscape, or the open source Mozilla, but when it comes to Windows 2000 / XP it has been my experience that IE is dramatically faster than either of the two you mentioned. I really don't have the patience to watch Netscape load for more than six seconds or so when I could just quickly click on the toolbar and have IE pop up in less than a second. I stopped using netscape as my main browser when the latest was the 4.7 stand alone (or 4.3, not sure but whichever). As for Mozilla, my experience with using it in linux has been this: slow, random freezing, random crashing, etc. Also, Mozilla to my knowledge doesn't do page transitioning, which can be a really pain sometimes. Granted IE has quite an advantage over projects such as mozilla and so forth, but i think the reality is that nothing is ever going to compare to the speed of IE. and the average computer user could care less what he or she is using, as long as they don't have to wait while it chugs away. though, if anyone does know of a very good browser for linux... do reply :)

  9. Re:CompactFlash all the way on Flash Memory And Its future · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    With my friend's digital camera, if the memory card has some free space but enough to store another picture and you press the shutter... all the pictures become corrupt. What gives? I can't think of the model (except that it's a Nikon) but is this a deal with the camera being stupid or some sort of thing flash memory trait?

  10. In console cartridges... on Flash Memory And Its future · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is flash memory the same stuff they'd use to allow you to save your games in old console cartridges such as Zelda for the NES or NBA Jam (TE) for Sega Gamegear etc in the same way the article mentions "memory cards for video game consoles"?
