Regardless of the reasons why - For a software company to release a patch for a product they released 24 hours ago is , to say the least embarassing. I would imagine there are quite a few red faces around netscape today
Are you sure? I thought it was the Germans who invented rocket propulsion ( ie Nazis with the V2 ) , and the English who invented the jet engine ( ie Frank Whittle ) War no doubt has been about LONG before america was colonised:)
I think the Americans have invented "The compensation culture" personally.
The MPAA must really hate the BBC then:) No commercial ads on it - at all. Mind you, its paid for through a license fee, so wouldnt it be reasonable to assume that since its been paid for already through the license fee, that UK people have a right to watch anything on the BBC however they choose. Even torrents of the shows.
whoever modded this a troll - turn in your badge of geekhood.
Flawless sourcecode is useless when it comes to trying to use it to do damage.
Only if there are flaws IN the code, will it be possible to damage routers by exploiting it.
I laugh at how religion is being pushed further and further to the right and extremism, but I dont restrict it to americans alone - even though the biggest concentration of the christian-right is probably there.
Go around with a pair of wire clippers and cut the network cable of those with affected computers - refusing to fix it for them until they get their computer sorted out.
How on earth do the bought-and-paid-for senators in the states think they can make laws for other countries - without invading them.
America, at this rate is well on the path to destroying itself through either corporate corruption - or alienating the rest of the world against it.
Agreed. Strapping yourself into a rocket composed of tons of highly explosive fuel carries with it a certain degree of risk. After all, its nothing other then a carefully controlled explosion which gets them into space. If an astronaut thinks its all of a sudden, dangerous work - then they really shouldnt be in the space program. Astronauts should be mentally competant as well as physically, and I would be extremely suprised if they were not.
if it favours iis machines, it makes it that much easier for virus writers / script kiddies to play about with them if it displays them in preference to other web servers.
and here i am, in the UK, stuck on 512k atm, with 2mb being the fastest affordable choice i can see:(. 1 gigabit tho. Thats an obscene amount of bandwith - not even bittorrent could consume that much.... surely
in the UK, theres the "loser pays legal fees" thing, which also helps to discourage the frivilous lawsuit from even being filed in the first place. Is there no such system in the US for this?

To have to patch the browser, so close from its release date.
Im sure a lot of the netscape devs and managers have red faces about now.
unfortunately, the average user is still clueless and continues to both click on, and buy things from these emails :/
Each browser has its uses.
Saying one is better then the other is silly.
However saying both are better then IE is truthful
you'd have thought they have competant sysadmins which have a max filesize limit set on emails wouldnt you?
:/ Pity slashdot doesnt let you define a regexp for text to ignore
on another note - the " im an open proxy, ban me " things are irritating me now
Are you sure? :)

its the one disk, partitioned into two drives.
If the dealer said you have two hard disks, he lied. Otherwise neither did.

since when has slashdot feared bill, OR microsoft for that matter?

heh I think it was more through luck then prediction :D
That said i suppose it was inevitable another SCO story would pop up again
+5 fanboyism Ofc
ofc if microsoft copy the idea, it'll be -1 Troll for them.
also forgot the occasional sco-bashing story.
could just be isp/routing issues.
Works for me, and i'm in the uk also.
if it favours iis machines, it makes it that much easier for virus writers / script kiddies to play about with them if it displays them in preference to other web servers.
the most my local phone exchange can handle though is 2mbit :( so im stuck with that as an upper limit for adsl
and here i am, in the UK, stuck on 512k atm, with 2mb being the fastest affordable choice i can see :(.
1 gigabit tho. Thats an obscene amount of bandwith - not even bittorrent could consume that much.... surely
if it worked correctly it wouldnt be a joke :D
In soviet NASA....
no.. the joke just doesnt work.
it'll take much longer then 20 years
