    Please read carefully, I never said dual core. I commented on the support for more than 2 processors. I even quoted it in my response.

    You want a 3ghz dual core G5 and we're still waiting for the 3ghz single core version we were promised for last year.

    Before you work yourself into a tizzy of excitement that requires you to wipe off your keyboard, remember that quad processor mac rumors have been around for a long time.

    If we ever do see A quad processor mac it will likely be in a server configuration such as the xServe, not in a PowerMac.

    then maybe you don't want your browser integrated with your email client...

    Isn't this the reason we hate IE so much, because of all its integration its opened itself up to so many exploits.

    Maybe the browser just needs to be browser... the popularity of firefox is a testament to that.

    Someone should check to see how many of these people have left the house in the last couple days. Or check their grip on reality by seeing if they still answer to their birth name (as opposed to 'Mordorf the wizard' and such).

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to here it, does it make a sound?

    If a developer only wishes to develop for the moz suite but no on is there to use it, are you making a difference?

    In addition consider these additional points: Many of your changes could wind up in firefox anyway... and MORE IMPORTANTLY>>>>> YOU ARE A DEVELOPER, IF YOU DON'T LIKE FIREFOX MAKE IT BETTER. If you abandon mozilla for dropping the suite you were never a true open source developer to begin with.

  14. Re:Google to the "rescue" on Mozilla Foundation in More Development Trouble · · Score: 1

    "Would that be considered good or evil?"

    Neither... it would be considered STUPID. If google wants to invest money and manpower to mozilla, they should do just that... contribute resources directly to the mozilla project. If google creates their own fork of the mozilla product line we wind up with yet another browser and another opportunity for 'interpretation' of standards.

    I'd much rather see them back the mozilla foundation rather than do their own browser. Remeber... just because it comes from google should not make something better...

  15. Maybe... on Mozilla Foundation in More Development Trouble · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe they should shit-can the Mozilla suite and concentrate all efforts on their most successful products... Firefox, and Thunderbird. Considering the huge success of Firefox as a stand alone browser and thunderbird as an email client. I see no point in keeping the mozilla suite around any longer.

    From a marketing perspective they've already put all their eggs in the firefox basket...

    Even netscape wants to ride the firefox wave to success with the release of the Netscape 8 browser.

    Actually, I'd like to know if you've sat down in front of VS.net recently... It's quite robust and very mature. You can have as much or as little control as you want. Other than the ungodly HTML it renders for ASP.NET apps its really not that bad, hardly worth quitting your job over.

    A geek would have actually hooked the lights into the webcam, An asshole would take the time to make a hoax of it.

    And maybe since you put so little effort into the 'technical' side of things you should have spent more time on your light display. It's easily one of the ugliest things i've ever seen.

    The color scheme is intentional. The billboards would say things like "We're number 1 not number 2" and "People are excited to meet us but won't shake our hands".

    The original website also had a toilet flushing noise play when you first opened it.

    1) You're correct, it does however support using space and shift+space to quickly scroll.

    2)I don't think safari or firefox does this either.

    3)As far as i know, none of the major browsers do this (IE, Mozilla or Safari) 'right out of the box'. In safari you enable the debug menu, and mozilla/firefox require an extension.

  23. Re:Competition is good on Interview with Camino Developer Mike Pinkerton · · Score: 1

    Because google could conceivably 'do it better'. It could be a blow to the Mozilla project as a whole.

    Look at Gmail. Adwords, Adsense, all things done before by other people but google did it better. Hell, Google itself is the biggest example of taking something and making it better.

    I guess an even bigger blow to Camino/Mozilla would be a Mac OS X google browser based on khtml...

  25. Re:Firefox is the best on Interview with Camino Developer Mike Pinkerton · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, he conveniently forgot to add that Firefox is easily extendible (extensions galore). It has way more options and functionality (some through extensions, but still...). It has a number of skins for people that feel the need to customize their browser. And It has some great features such as keyword searching, and the ability to search for text on a page without opening a search box.

    Camino is playing catch-up with more than just Safari...
