    Microsoft ActiveX for Netscape plugin is installed maybe?
    (It works with Mozilla and Firefox too, but MS always likes to call them Netscape...)

    Yes, but getting "CHEESE STEAK JIMMY'S" for grep -i cheese is not understandable.
    Especially since Google says it's a cheat for Age of Empires II, a Windows only game that I don't have...

    Any idea where all the junk you can find with that commadn comes from (apart from spam filters)?

    WTF?

  8. Re:Stealing Windows customers? on Accessories for Mac mini · · Score: 1

    Much of Gentoo can run on OS X using portage for OS X.
    If it was at all feasible for me to buy a Mac, I would be tempted by using OS X and portage.

    It would be like GNU/OS X instead of GNU/Linux...

    Is the important thing the kernel or the rest of the OS?

  9. Re:Stealing Windows customers? on Accessories for Mac mini · · Score: 1

    While I doubt that is true about API incompatibility, it would be interesting to see Wine ported to Longhorn to run XP software...
    Also, where is your source for the allegation that windows update will be restricted to subscribers?

  10. Re:Looks like iCal... on Mozilla Sunbird's First Official Release · · Score: 1

    This is in Seamonkey too. This was probably in Mozilla (or even maybe Netscape) before 2000. So what? They must have got the idea somewhere as well.

    It amazes me the way some people think that all innovation comes from Apple.

    Correct, but unnecessary :)

  12. Re:Is it integrated with Thunderbird yet? on Mozilla Sunbird's First Official Release · · Score: 1

    If they went down that road, they would be in danger of just reintegrating everything, and might as well just abandon the standalone applications and devote resources to Seamonkey.

    Of course it is unstable now.

    That customization interface has been in Mozilla suite, Firefox and Thunderbird for a *long* time. Who cribbed from who, troll?

    And what is wrong with copying interfaces? Where did Window's, Mac OS's and X11's window manager concept come from? (Hint: it wasn't Apple, Microsoft, or X).

  15. Re:"Run WindowsUpdate first thing Monday morning" on 13 New Windows Security Vunerabilities · · Score: 1

    This kind of counts as installing a new kernel, methinks.

    You don't HAVE to restart for each one. They just don't take effect until you restart.
    Like installing anything on Windows.

    Does anyone know of any updates/installations that actually need a full restart under Linux, excluding the Kernel?

  17. Can Microsoft Beat Google? on Can Microsoft Beat Google? · · Score: 1

    No.

    Because Google is really, really good. Netscape lost because it sucked more than IE for a time. Google is better.

    That said, I see this being used by people who's lives revolve around MSN instant messenger, to find flash games and ecards (which it will probably be good for). In other words, the people who use the old MSN search already.

    Damn sound bug with alsa/VIA chipsets results in silent Quake for many...

    Yes, this still happens to me if I slow down my connection a bit.
    It is not just slashdot, but we are the worst affected.
    Also a bit of optimisation/lower memory usage would be cool.

    How about bug 217527?
    They say it's fixed in the trunk build, but I think that it still happens to some /.ers in Firefox 1.0. It is promised to be gone by 1.1.
