Not quite. Installing Firefox can be done just as it's done now, and will be about the same size.
But then when installing Thunderbird for the first time, it could detect you've already got XULRunner and just install the TB only components.
Keep in mind that the longterm plan is to have Firefox and Thunderbird launch from XULRunner. (I assume Nvu could also do this.) This will solve the RAM issue, and also mean that the underlying codebase can simply be updated once for all apps.
And most of the developers "diverted to Firefox" are still working on the same Gecko engine and underlying technologies that powered the Mozilla suite. The number of (paid) people hacking Firefox specific stuff isn't really that many.
Look up the definition of axiom. One of the basic axiom's we use everday is that our memory of the past is accurate, and that events we remember will influence the present and the future.
Certainly the same is true of playing the piano. The wrists should be get relaxed and in line with the arm for the best sound (and the least chance of damage to the muscles.)
And back when I played Counter-Strike, the best player on my favorite server was an art major...
Because previously, the server had gnomes which watched your monitor and told it when you had checked the box. And you're afraid that since the gnomes don't know XML, you'll have to modify configuration files by hand.
Luckily for you, I've heard that Microsoft will offer, for a modest fee, XML training courses designed especially for gnomes. ^_^
Firefox's keyboard navigation is actually superb. Ctrl+T opens a new tab, Ctrl+W closes the current tab, Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn cycles through tabs. Ctrl+L focuses the URL bar, and Ctrl+k focuses the search field. It makes it pretty easy to use firefox without mousing.
Apparantly I'm the only one who finds the Go menu useful. ^_^
The use case is this: I've just closed out of a tab on accident, after closing the window that contained the original link. The fastest way to get back is normally the Go menu; it lists just the last 10 things you visited, so it's easy to find.
The history, on the other hand, is quite cumbersome to bring up, and so not as useful for quickly finding the page you want.
Well, we know by symmetry that there should be 8 flavors. Presumably Microsoft hasn't achieved high enough energies to find the eighth, but it's always possible before release, I guess. Getting to the fourth generation is impressive enough, though. ^_^
When using Firefox, you can just drag the link onto the tab bar. It'll open it up as if you had typed the address, so it won't appear to come from slashdot.
Composition was once a sort of trance where slightly insane people wrote music down feverishly
Hmm, ever heard of counterpoint? ^_^
Anyway, one of the merits of music lies in how it provokes reactions in us. When you look at a beautiful natural landscape, does it bother you that it wasn't generated by a concious creative process? Or do you just enjoy the beauty?
Music generated from algorithms could ultimately be analogous. It might not be "art", but it could still be beautiful... with the beauty arising from the same simple, natural, relationships which underly a lot of how the world works.
Many open standards begin life implemented by only one vendor. Even HTML, for that matter. ^_^
The point is that, when this SEED thing was developed, the Koreans couldn't make use of the already existing standards. So they pretty much had to design and then implement their own standard. It's good that they're adding implementations to multiple platforms.
I'm curious as to how companies would actually prosecute a case involving a breach of a EULA. With the mailbox example, the signature of the person is right there on the contract. With a EULA, there can't really be a contract; there's absolutely no proof as to who clicked the thing. It could have been simply an object falling on the keyboard for all the prosecutuer can prove.
In fact, although I'm not a lawyer or even close, the fact that it's a EULA and not a EUContract suggests that arguing about how contracts work doesn't even relate to the issue at hand.:)
While that's true, it's not what the earlier poster was talking about; he wanted to use SVG to generate the text.
Additionally, mozilla hasn't implemented using HTML within SVG quite yet. The claim is that the spec is too unclear to implement this. (Even though ForeignObject support was originally included, it is now turned off by default.)
One thing to realise is that SVG isn't as accessible as HTML, and when you put information in SVG you don't get the semantics of HTML. Using it for laying out a page probably isn't the way to go.:(
Actually, a lot of the anime you can download is in an ogg container, often using ogg vorbis for sound.
From what I understand it's easier to deal with subtitles and multiple audio tracks in an ogg or mkv container. ^_^

The same is true of manga and anime, where nothing is ever definitively resolved nor plotlines clearly delineated
That is just completely untrue of shit tons of anime. It's true that the "edgy" anime (Like Lain or Evangelion) which tends to make an impact amongst the US fanbase is often abstract, but a lot of anime is just straightforward story telling. Given that a lot of anime's are constrained to 13 or 26 episodes, things are "definitively resolved" far more often than in US TV series, which mostly just carry along until they become unprofitable.
Anime is a medium more than a genre, and I'm guessing your opinions are based on a pretty small sample. A movie like Millenium Actress has as much in common with Akira as Sandman does with Superman. ^_^

Actually, even now you can download precompiled binaries of XULRunner. Check to find out more.

To clarify further, by satire/joke encyclopedia it is meant an encyclopedia which is itself a satire/joke. Not an encyclopedia of satire and jokes.

Yes; of course it is. ^_^

I'm glad we're all clear on what a mature gamer QuantumG is. ^_^

There's a blog post here with a link to another presentation from the conference.
Actually the mozillazine article clarifies that the code has been present in Firefox for a while; work started on it about a year ago.
It's making the news now because IBM just started promoting their contribution.

The poster clearly doesn't understand that, if the grandparent was true, and thus worthy of being modded up, it would be impossible to do so. ^_^
