Netscape is more than just a name. Netscape has integrated AIM/ICQ instead of Chatzilla, and if you do a custom install you can turn off "Add AOL on Desktop Icon" etc.
While Netscape doesn't mean much to use, users and developers who trust Open source, it means a lot to my father and many other users who still see open source as more developement-ware or beta-ware. Those users see Netscape as a browser that has a technical support team they can call and feel a little safer with since it is backed by a coorporation, and not just a bunch of geeks.
More-over, don't forget that AOL still pays for Mozilla developement and Ex-Netscape employes develope for the Mozilla project with AOL pay checks. I prefer Firefox (more so when you fix it) but AOL and Netscape still mean a lot. (At least until more people find out it's really just Mozilla with limited ActiveX)
You can use the Mozilla Active X Control to embed Mozilla. I've actually converted a few apps that I use with embeded IE to use the embeded Mozilla instead.
Unfortunately it increases the size of your distribution a little, since you can't assume Mozilla exists on the end user machine.
Why the upload? Because having an FTP brower integrated into the webrower is quite useless if you can't upload. Never requiring a full ftp client, I've always used Mozilla for browsing FTP servers and downloading and IE for uploading.
Yes, the download manager needs to do something other than sit there (most pointless tool ever) but FTP upload is also a long needed feature and I applaud the mozilla team for releasing it. Time to try a 1.8a based build of Firefox!
I have a Committee on Energy and Commerce. Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality transcript for the 2001 Energy Policy (specifically our policy on oil) that says
And I have a document here that says you're wrong. It doesn't matter what subcommittee of what commission wrote it. There's no link to prove it exists, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
But I have it right here, opened in the next tab and boy it's a doozy! It says you're really wrong.
Because TCP utilizes above-ground organic waste streams to produce a new energy source, it also has the potential to arrest global warming by reducing the use of fossil fuels,
Aren't we still burning the fuel that results from the process? Isn't burning oil what has a negative environmental impact? If this stuff's just like oil, why doesn't it hurt the environment when we burn it?
you will need clearance through the US Fish and Wildlife Department and or National Marine Fisheries Service
I was going to suggest environmental concerns as well, but.. after 3 mile island, I'm not sure there are any endangered species left in that river! Check out the wiki!
Use AvantSlash. It's not a replacement for CSS on the/. page (which is seriosly overdue) but it will help make it readable on your Palm's and CellPhones. Just try and host it yourself if you're using AvantGo. Even Custom Channels can be expensive for providers.
Ha! I remember back in 6th grade sending around a petition to ban the same thing... got more than a couple of hundred signatures. That was when I decided most people who sign petitions don't really know what they're signing for.
Well, they forgot a doctype and "/head" . That clears up most of the 6 errors. Then there's also an alt tag missing from the image (why THAT'S required, I really don't know..) There may have been two other errors, I don't remember...
Still doesn't make the Gecko engine any less standards compliant. Just means whoever wrote that page made between 4 and 6 mistakes. (The webstandards page often marks 1 error as multiple errors, as some errors put code out of context... like putting the BODY inside the HEADER...)
Mozilla's not built off of Netscape. When Netscape went opensource and started the Mozilla project, it was quickly decided that Netscape really, really sucked.
The code was so inflated by work-arounds and bug fixes it was like trying to work on the MS Office Code -- Rather pointless and impossible.
That said, Mozilla is a started from scratch endevour, and that's why it took so long to hit the 1.0 (That's also why it's so much better than the competition.)
"will be against companies that hold SCO Unix licenses"
I thought we were all supposed to buy licenses so we DIDN'T get sued by SCO... So they're trying to turn the open source community into paying customers by SUEING those who play by their rules...
I don't know... The economy was running into a downturn BEFORE Bush took office. I think the bubble Clinton was riding just happened to burst (as everyone expected it to).
Don't put too much economic credit on the president. While you might not agree with it, war is ALWAYS helpful for the economy. There is never a time when borrowing money will not create jobs. Once jobs are created taxes can be paid and money is given back to repay the debts. When the economy dips, it's the governments job to borrow money and spend, regardless of what they spend it on and regardless of how large the debt already is. It's a big debt, sure, but it's also a huge country. Compare the debt to the American GDP. It's tiny. Not even a fleck.
If a countrys citizens would allow their government infinite debt they would be one of the riches countries on earth (and probably have a worhless currency, but America isn't in infinate debt, are we?)
So maybe there are times that debt is bad, but not many. The economic slump spreads many more factors than any single administration in any single country can take credit for. Sorry!
McKinsey Global Institute is a US company. They're the ones who did the research.
Ask Alan Greenspan, ask the Adam Smith, ask John Forbes Nash, Jr, ask the Italian Merchantilasts who failed misserably (along with all the rest of the Merchantilasts).
Tarrifs bad, Free Trade Good.
It's good when your customers have money. That's how we sell them things. India is soon to be the largest country in the world. We damn well better give them jobs so that they can buy the products that we manufacture and develope. That gives money back to America and allows for more jobs on the home front.
Take an economics class. So we loose a few US jobs. US companies are making those jobs, which means US companies will be reaping the profits.
The US for years has had a massive trade deficite, yet we have continued to further our riches. Labor is a resource and fits in the economy in a very similar way...
Think about it, instead of american workers, we'll have American corporate managers while all of the labor is done somewhere else. Sounds like a higher paying deal to me!
Maybe if people stopped paying for it and turned to alternatives it would be more affordable.
Adobe is making money, so obviously they're doing something right. Economics controls the price in the end, though, not Adobe.
Sure, they might sell more copies at a lower price, but they might not make as much money (just as if they charged a higher price they wouldn't sell as many copies and might make less money.)
I'm sorry if the equilibrium price is more than you can afford, but then again, you should be a corporation and this wouldn't be a problem;)
I don't think it matters. He makes a really compelling argument and he isn't threatening to do anything if it doesn't happen. He's merely stating that by utilizing region coding, playable DVDs are released in some countries before other countries and that durring that time pirate's sell hundreds of thousands of pirated copies free from region coding.
It's extremely easy for a computer to read a DVD from a different region. That movie can then be saved, modified, and re-encoded either to a DVD-R or to a large machine press like the Hong Kong pirates use (so as to create a DVD-9 disk.
If there was no region coding and movies were released everywhere at the same time, pirates wouldn't have months to sell advanced copies and consumers would be less likely to purchase an illegal copy when a legal copy was already playable. (People are extremely impatient, but not everyone will steal if a better, albeit slightly more expensive option, exists.
Oooh.. don't exhaust heat into the atic. That's bad. Always cut it through to the roof. That air in your closet is going to be quite warm. As we learned in science back in middle school, warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. That is to say, when the warm moist closet air cools in your atic it's going to provide you with moisture problems.
This is especially true with bathroom-mounted bathroom fans (since the air is likely at 100% humidity from the shower) but I'd definately run the closet fan through the ceiling, too, just to be on the safe side.
Bah! They're just local exploits! Only trusted people access your machine anyway, right?
Woah, that was weird. I just had the strangest dream that I was an ex-Microsoft Security adviser working on securing version 2.4 of the linux kernel.

a $0.25 disc and 4 minutes later, and I've replaced it.
How can you afford $0.25/disk?!? Buy your disks on rebate, man! Talk about breaking the bank!
Nevermind... Should have googled first:

UnFuq does the exact same thing for WMA files. If you have rights to play them, you can turn your WMA's into un-encrypted WMA files.
Search for UnFuq.exe (or perhaps it's spelled with a "ck".)
