    So how long until its accuracy is disputed over things like WMD in Iraq and it is forked by a high ranking officer who goes away and starts Intellendium to be run by supposedly more reliable intelligence analysts?

  4. Re:How about fixing the memory leaks on Firefox Accepting Feature Suggestions for Version 3 · · Score: 1

    Come hither, let us reminisce.

    I am baffled as to why my dual core 2gb ram PC with 7800 geforce card slows down when i am using FF. I first glimpsed the web on a Pentium 90 with 16mb of RAM and a Tseng Labs video card with a whopping 1024k of video memory. And Netscape seemed just as fast as FF. When I think about this, the only thing that comes to mind is WTF?!

    "Barebones, browser only, users must install their own extensions. Most geeks will want this one."

    That's what FF is supposed to be. I don't know why they are putting in all kinds of profiles features and crud, but FF was supposed to be the barebones browser that wa included in the Mozilla suite.

    I find that the HTML Validator plugin with the new v0.833 is useful for checking if XHTML pages validate. The new version uses the same parser, OpenSP, as the W3C's web based validation service, which means it gives the exact same errors and warnings as you would get from the W3C service.

    Furthermore, it works in realtime, which means you get this validation just by viewing the page, so it works on web apps where you need to log in to view. No more viewing source, saving it as an external file and then sending that to the W3C validation service!

    I don't think we need a feature to cripple FF such that it refuses to load invalid pages, a gentle reminder in the shape of a red error icon is good enough to ensure developers are aware of the validity of their work without destroying the usefulness of the browser. Get HTML Validator! It's the goods.

    Look up. See that? That speck against the clear blue sky? It's my point. It was part joke, part political snide remark and it flew so far over your head it crashed into Hubble. But I'm sure you're ok with that, you don't sound like the scientific type.

    If you told a frequent flier 20 years ago about today's security procedures he would tell you that it was unlivable. Governmnets have realized that to seize control of society, you do it so slowly that nobody notices. You, my friend, don't seem to be noticing.
