And they'd start SPAMMING the list by adding legitimate IP's. Why you think the garbage text below SPAM was created? To bombard the anti-spam bayesian filters. You think they'd be stupid enough NOT to do anything against a malware blacklist?
Sounds like a good choice. Obviously his performance improved A LOT from "Sleepy Hollow" as Ichabod Crane (1999), to "Pirates of the Caribbean" as Jack Sparrow (2003).
You guys just don't realize that if Microsoft loses the battle, then it would become a huge precedent for other software which could be in similar situation that Internet Explorer.
This is, people, either small or big, will start suing software producers around the world (either commercial or OSS), for stupid patents that got granted by an unfair patent system.
Maybe Microsoft or SCO could precisely cite this case against Linux. Don't you realize that? *one* single patent is all they need.
In this case, we need to support... not Microsoft, but the web community. Microsoft happens to be on our side of the fence (just by coincidence, but still). If we let Microsoft lose, we're practically letting all the stupid patent holders ruin the web, and maybe the entire Open Source efforts. Do you REALLY want that?

I'm just asking, because i got kinda disappointed whith Delphi when they stopped distributing Delphi personal. Actually there's an article on Delphi that a friend of mine wrote (hope he doesn't kill me when he finds out i posted it on/.:P), so I'm kinda skeptic on Borland now. But I guess "you get what you pay for":(
It's precisely the attitude of Linux elitist uber-geeks like you, that is keeping the chasm between Linux and Windows, uncrossable.
The REAL reason for people to have less reasons to move off Windows is because they DON'T find their favorite Windows software on Linux.
So, people need to adopt Firefox as part of their "favorite Windows software", and guess what, it's ALREADY on Linux!
What Linux REALLY needs to overthrow Windows, is a multiplatform RAD environment for C++ (and maybe *cough* Visual Basic *cough* equivalent), so Windows users will start developing multi-platform apps without having to code everything by hand.
Paraphrasing Archimedes: "Give me a cross-platform RAD, and I shall move the world".
So far, Firefox doesn't only give us a great cross-platform browser, but also XUL. And that does much more to help people build bridges between Linux and Windows, than your "screw windows users" attitude.

Four errors. One spelling (typo), two grammar (one omission), and one of sentence clarity.
If my corrected sentence is _NOT_ what was supposed to be said, then it's worse than I had thought!

Hmmm i can imagine a dialogue between a the wires and the electrons in a chip.
Electrons:Look! strained silicon! SUPER SPEED! 24% w00t!
Wires: NOT SO FAST!
Think about 10,000% faster, or even more.
Strained silicon is just one of the last tweaks of the silicon era. The future is either carbon, or optics.
I'm not saying that 24% isn't good (it is). But rather that it's just a short-term achievement.
+5, funny.

Someone needs to write a Firefox extension that filters any mention of his "overviews". Hmmmm....
;)
No firefox filter needed. Just add these lines to your HOSTS file

I think it's time people do it again.
Keep the change, filthy animal.
When I was in school, I remember using Netscape 3 to view webpages (after all, we were using Unix).
I'd rather say that universities are going back to their roots. IE was designed for home computers and the Joe User, not for universities.

It's a troll account.
And I bet he trolls everything which goes against his business i.e. Open Source, Adblockers, Linux, etc.

Try bruteforcing THAT.
I wonder what will use more bandwidth. TONS of instant queries to "suggest", or a simple query search result.
I think they should have considered it A LOT, concluding that the instant queries would save many search results listings.
I wonder if they have a bandwidth usage saving chart, or something?
Sounds like a good choice. Obviously his performance improved A LOT from "Sleepy Hollow" as Ichabod Crane (1999), to "Pirates of the Caribbean" as Jack Sparrow (2003).
My 2 cents.
We need to get this thing built and do real tests before we can even think about being "close" to having fusion plants.
I wonder if China will be holding a monopoly with their "build your own" fission reactors by then.

IMHO, the problem with this kind of engines is that they don't make a separation between speech to phoneme / phoneme to text.
:-/ )
If someone designs a good open source speech to phoneme architecture, I'm sure people would start working on phoneme to text AI algorithms.
They say: "Open source? Death!!! Where will our revenues for research go?"
But... what use is patenting/selling something that doesn't work in the first place?
Again, this is only my personal opinion. (I couldn't RTFA because... *slashdotted*

Of course, I happened to have A LOT of popup alerts ("Firefox prevented a popup BLAH") in my top-bar. Like a hundred :-o
I *guess* the vulnerability DID work in Mozilla because AFAIK... Mozilla doesn't have Firefox's popup blocker... yet.
Here's a vulnerability that works in ALL browsers. It's a DoS attack.
