  1. hmm, os integration.... on AOL to Release Netscape 7.2 Based on Mozilla 1.7 · · Score: 1

    i am a mozilla user and i love it. i also use suse linux, so IE and windows are not options for me. now, i was just thinking as i read this article why do ms users use IE? probably because of how closely it is tied into windows. you can jump from your C: drive to google.com (or slashdot.com :) without opening and closing another window. now i use kde so i could use konqueror (which is great too btw) to do things like this. however i LIKE mozilla and its feel. maybe if mozilla was more integrated and was made a filesystem browser as well, custom tailored to the different OS's it supports, it would gain more users. think of it, one tab on your home directory, the other reading this article. and i dont just mean displaying your filesystem which it does already, i mean move able icons with drag and drop, file deletion, renaming..EVERYTHING konqueror (or explorer) can do. just a thought.

    no, the person that put that file on a public websever IS to blame. just because a file is not linked to, does not in ANY way WHATSOEVER mean it is private. it is still available to anyone who can *GUESS* the path to the file. at least put some .htaccess password or at least SOMETHING to protect your files. or, simply do not put them on a public server. email them, encrypt them, anything but put them on a webserver, free for the public to view if they just type the right letters.

  14. Re:ah.... on Black Holes No More -- Introducing the Gravastar · · Score: 1

    actually one of the only drugs which induce true hallucinations is Scopolamine. on LSD and other serotonin related "hallucinogens" users rarely report seeing true hallucinations. ie, things they saw that were not physically there, but the user believe it truly WAS there. typically, users know that what they are seeing is not there. life is all about perception, should you be dosed up on acid all day long every day for the rest of your life (*not actually possible*) ? no, that is not what i am saying. "I can make my monitor go all freaky too by installing certain screen savers. That doesn't mean I'm seeing any more information. " however on LSD you are seeing more information than you normally do. one of the effects is increased sensory perception of outside stimulus, this is no acid burnout claim, it is one of the MEDICALLY DOCUMENTED EFFECTS of the drug.

    also, some believe that there are infinite alternate dimensions. possibly you have tuned into a demension where there are millions of spiders crawling up your arms. now of course that sounds crazy, but some scientists do in fact believe in the possibility of an infinite amount of parallel universes, and if that is an infinite number, then it HAS to be possible that SOMEWHERE there actually were spiders crawling up your arms.

    i once read an article where our brains were described just as that...a filter. compared to a computer monitor, the monitor is adjusted, vsync, hsync and so on until a clear, human comprehensible image is displayed on screen. our brains do the same with the universe. this is where the fun part comes in, "mind expanding" drugs such as LSD, Psilocybin, DMT and others, come into play. these substances can act as sensory perception enhancers (which they are already described as...) to enhance our awarness. it is generally accepted that they have the ability to enhance our awarness of things around us, images are sharpend, colors are brighter, and the thoughts in our own minds are even louder still....now that is regarding the physical world around us, but possibly these substances unlock the ability we have to focus our brains and "tune in" on whatever we want. people with a stronger mental "will" can achieve these states via meditation...anyway i could rant on and on. just something to think about.

    a reason (out of a few) to switch from linux to bsd, or simply to just use one over the other, its a preferance of unix style. i personally use linux because i like the SYSV boot method, and i like the concept of runlevels, which BSD dosnt have...or rather implements runlevels in a different way.

    no this is regarding applications without "radical" changes in the UI; ie: winamp. the quicktime player DOES have the same look and feel as other OSX applications. MS-Word however, does have the same look and feel as windows explorer, and microsoft outlook. programs like GAIM, which dont have a drastically different UI (like trillian) SHOULD match with the rest of the GUI's apps, your mail client, and even though browsers other than the core OS's browser (explorer, konqueror ..) have different UIs, it is nice to have those match the rest of your theme as well.
