The server is telling Fx it's a download, so you have to download it and view it locally. The reason it opens in the same tab is that you have set Fx to open links sent by external apps (including opening an HTML file, links in your mail client, etc.) in the same tab. You can change it with the Tabbrowser extension, or maybe their is a built-in way now.
I don't think I did... Gentoo with IPv6 turned off in whatever that protocol selection config file is and with the use flag -ipv6, so it shouldn't be doing that.
It does look like a DNS timeout though...
Is there a configuration option to not use IPv6 or something?
I would probably too, but Konqueror doesn't work well on my system. It takes forever to start loading the page (though once it's started it's quick). In fact all KDE apps on my machine take ages to open TCP connection...
Absolutely. I think part of the reason they are distracting is that they are hard to focus on. Does everyone see lines radiating outwards, like with a really bright light?
BTW isn't that one of the less sensative parts of the spectrum for humans?
They only use them because they tech to make them cheaply is new. It's a status symbol, this TV is really new; the blue LED proves it. I've even seen stupidly modded cars with blue LEDs in places like the tip of the aerial. Stupid. The worst place is just below the screen on a monitor. It makes it so hard to keep looking at the monitor.
I have looked at this, and I think they have stopped asking you to do that. My mistake for commenting on how it integrates with an OS I don't use much anymore...
So why not use a big touchscreen? I've used on of those, it has a projector, and you can click, double-click, drag, everything except right-click really easiely by just touching it.
The/. bug is infuriating, because it has been fixed in the trunk build since soon after it was reported. Are you saying that Seamonkey's Gecko branched from the trunk recently enough to have this bug fix, or is that still to come for both builds? (maybe I'll use the Suite for a while then...)
Mozilla will always be slower than Fx, or there would be no point in Fx in the first place. Are you sure you haven't enable Mozilla preloading? Or do you have 100 Firefox extensions or something?
With fix after fix IE could become as bug free as Fx. Your looking at it the wrong way round. Also, MS would consider many of the Mozilla Foundation's fixes too trivial to be worth doing in IE.
So it's probably not more problems, more like more problems being fixed.
Internationtal law usually says you need to get permission and check in with local air traffic control before flying over a country. The US would doubtless do the same thing the USSR did, and shoot down unidentified high-altitude aircraft trying to avoid detection deep inside their airspace.
No! Not "Funny", mods! This is actually true. There is also a catagory called "Gay and Lesbian interest" which blocks not porn (that's a seperate catagory), but support groups, helplines, etc. Could be grounds to accuse a school of discrimination (this is in the UK where we don't have a large lobby of people who want them all locked up BTW).
It's a base for testing experimental aircraft. No aliens, sorry. The really paranoid security is probably because what goes on there is largely blatently illegal; U2 is thought to have been tested there for example (also the reason for that ridiculously long runway).
Interestingly, there were reports of "strange triangular aircraft" before the Stealth Bomber was made public, which kind of discredits a lot of the UFO stuff.
You learn how to do things like compiling the kernel, inserting kernel modules (you'll probably need to fix something with one sometimes), deciding which daemons you need running at startup, learn to use the package manager properly, learn to use some of the important config files (OK I had to learn lilo.conf for Mandrake, but that wasn't their intention), etc. etc. I now know what all the processes running on my box do, and mostly how to disable them and why I want them there.
As well as learning, and don't flame me for this, you genuinely do end up with a good working system with only what you need installed/running. It's the first Linux I've actually had that will go faster than XP(!).
Um, I agree with your basic point, I can use both, and have customized both. I use the GUI for most tasks like word processing, emails, usenet, web browsing, etc. etc., but have a few tasks I prefer the command line for.
But I disagree that the GUI is best for repetative tasks. Repetetive tasks you do at the command line once, then make a script, then never do again (and no, I don't mean you write out a perl script that eventually becomes as intelligent as you, I mean #!/bin/sh and a list of the commands with 0-2 parameter).
Then you make an icon on your Desktop or a keyboard shortcut and use the GUI I guess:)
At my Sixth Form, Websense will sometimes give the catagory of banned page as "Alternative Journals", a bit more questionable than the "Bad taste" catagory.

It points to my NAT router. Non-KDE apps are fine though (except possibly Gaim); Fx loads Google almost instantly .
A true 3D windows manager would be cool. Ever used a WM where unfocused windows fade to transparent? Imagine if they moved into the background.
And imagine that bar in OS X, coming towards you as well as magnifying...

Why can't the installer do an "rm -rf" first?
;-)
All the more reason to have a package manager and get some developer to work it out for you

KHTML (yes, Safari is Konqueror :-) is faster but a little less error tolerent, they say...
I thought they advised you to uninstall the old one first?
(Or did they stop doing that when it left beta? I've lost track of the Windows version a bit...)

WTF? You think U2 was legal? The US government continued to deney it's existance even after the Soviet Union caputured one.
That genuinely is "Area 51".

That's just playing with words, really "resurrection" by your definition is impossible because IMHO "dead" means "cannot be made alive".
That you should use secure software like MS Word.
Oh, wait...
If you use IE, visiting websites does tend to involve installation of various peices of software.
Well, yes.

Better: use "Administrative Tools/Services" to disable the Security Centre service.
