Watch it again. You see his face. It is obviously Fiona's Dad. And it sounds exactly like John Cleese.
I've heard that Farquuad may be coming back as a ghost? But he definately isn't in the trailer anywhere.
Whereas traffic accidents on the road can't lead to death? I'd prefer to capsise and hang on to the hull of my carboat than have a head on collision with another car on land.
I only use notepad. My problems always occur when doing complex DOM things. And it is often the case that even the w3c standards don't always do what they should on mozilla.... and often the same on IE.. neither of them are perfect, but IE is definately faster and better and doing rendering. Especially when it comes to using opacity.
Take a sum within a program, for example (a+b)=1000... now there are infinite possible combinations of what a and b can be... but without the correct variable names, or the commenting that went along with the code (assuming there was some)... the decompiled output is going to be pretty much useless / extremely difficult to understand
A friend of mine recently bought a server from Dell. The main thing he was looking at was the hardware side of things as he wanted to install the OS from the ground up. Dell offered the best hardware and support for the price and also they do price matching so he got quite a few things cheaper than expected.
Surely Sun can't exactly sell the hardware for any cheaper than it can already be bought for, so what's the advantage of choosing them over a company like Dell?
Unless of course they bring the power of Solaris to x86 and do it nicely? It's just the same thing from someone else.
I completely disagree. All my current work is based in HTML and Javascript and I always have to spend extra time working out how to make something work in Mozilla which already works in IE. And making it work in Mozilla always requires extra code and then it always runs slower in Mozilla as well.
Mozilla runs on almost anything which have the processing capabilities. Mozilla is always going to try to support everything new that comes out.. Just like how JRE's get made for new hardware... So why do it in Java when Mozilla is already doing it?
To be honest I do like java and have used it a lot. But the speed thing is frustrating, especially when developing. My original post was just comparing Mozilla's and Java's main common problem.
Yes it is a good idea. But why then spout the name Mozilla everywhere?
A good idea but just because Mozilla is all the rage now-a-days it's no excuse to just use it's name and then create a completely different browser....
It's as silly as if someone were to make a clone of windows in Java and called in Jindows
I don't just think geek, i live and breathe geek... But I can think of loads of things that "CAN BE DONE" which are also useful.... Like making a decent browser which has the lovely features of popup-blockers and tabbed browsing but using the IE renderer (which is a lovely renderer you have to admit)
I may be being a little harsh here but what exactly is the point in this?
Java's redeeming feature is that it is a cross platform environment. Which is all well and lovely.
Everything else about Java is horrible, like speed issues etc.
This project is to "make a mozilla clone in java". So by doing this you'd assume they'd be making mozilla cross platform (because that's the only logical reason for using java)... But Mozilla is already cross platform!!! Any platform it doesn't support you shouldn't be using for browsing the web with!
And anyways, you still need java to be installed to run it... Install java for a crappy browser or install Mozilla? I know which I'd prefer to do.
As soon as they introduce this it'll only be a matter of days (maybe even hours) before there's a program made which will just convert your downloaded payed for time-limited music into a codec of your choice.
And also it's always going to be difficult to actually sell the music to the consumer when the consumer can just download the music he/she wants from KaZaA or whatever file sharing program takes their fancy.
So people are either going to need to be either self-concious enough that they want to pay for their music.... or? Or companies are going to need to make a service that is vastly supieror to the free alternatives, or maybe perhaps you get a certain amount of months of subscription to the service every time you buy a portable player or something?
This seems to me like taking a step up a ladder which leads to a large, half eaten fish. It might be something to do, but what's the point?
well, just put some protection code in or whatever... although the further you take the concept you may as well make a whole program (web based or whatever) and forget using LPD
Well I found it amazingly helpful because I haven't been able to get onto the site yet...
I don't get why Slashdot doesn't automatically make mirrors of the stories for everyone to read and to avoid slashdotting poor people's sites.

i will be proved right when the film comes out :P
So by taking DMAE you can increase the effect of MDMA?

Nah, Rupert Everett is playing Prince Charming. It does seem that John Lithgow is playing Lord Farquaad.
That's John Clease playing Fiona's father. (King Harold)
1. Then don't buy one then.
2. Folks who bought their 800mhz PC machines at 1500 must feel screwed now with today's technology prices.

There has to be a point where we stop analysing things... I think even Freud himself admitted that sometimes a Cigar is just a Cigar.

That is such a great program. Cheers! :-)
Well I am... And notice how your post is at 0 points at time of this message

so we'll just have to rely on people posting the story / a cached version then ... god damn this commercialised world
