Well, it sounds like a good idea, but some faults, too.
One thing it said was that it could not be flown where pilots fly- this cuts down the number of places it can be flown by a lot.
And 27 foot wingspans ??? Hope it doesnt fall on any
cardboard houses!
The article talked of trust (ie. can you trust the code of firefox), i replied with, yes you can.
If you have knowledge to read the code- you can read it, therefore trust it, or if you cannot, ask one you trust that can understand the code.
Windows Update fixes a lot of code, very true, but do they seem like they make a real effort to do so?
I do not think so.
Santa, Ha Ha
I know this Jewish guy who, every year goes to the movies and then orders a roast duck from a chinese restaurant, all on Christmas day...
I find this hillarious...
Merry Christmas all you/.'ers
Here is what i wrote on his site....but strangely, none of it appeared..after that i have posted a test message
("LET THE SLASHDOTTING BEGIN")...
and my other test message of
("Hmmm...my comments have not been put up yet....i have posted after that too.....very interesting....
my test message to see if my posts were goin thorugh
"LET THE SLASDOTTING BEGIN!!!" ")
very strange indeed.
Anyway here it is for all your veiwing pleasure..
Face it..all your arguments against FireFox have been bashed by evidence show by the people who have posted above.
IE has not been secure for a long time, and the security threats keep on piling up. When FireFox came out, Microsoft came out with the huge SP2, which made IE a little better with its pop up blocker, but still it is the worst browser you can have period.
The Mozilla team has worked hard to correct any of the small number of bugs that exist on FireFox. It is updated periodically (Heck, you can get nightly snapshots!) and is very secure. It is also secure, because it is open source (download the source, read it- if you feel it is secure, compile and run it!!).
Besides the security issue, FireFox is the Best browser that i have seen (features, ability to customize,etc..).
Microsoft is a company that loves to make something and then charge everyone a lot of money for it and then not update it in the least and then flame another product for being better instead of actually doing something to fix the problem (Please-dont tell me about the new pop up blocker- so lame, it could have been coded years ago..Oh wait..there already have been pop up blockers made by people years ago because it was a problem..)
FireFox is a much better product in every way than Internet Explorer.
BTW, I am writing this from inside Firefox.;)
I think This technology wont take off too well...
Way too small - "Oh, nuts..I dropped my Unreal 2008 DNA vial..There it goes spewing all over the floor"
Or maybe..."Oh no..the cat, it ate my DNA processor!"
I dont even remember how many email addresses i have..maybe 6? Whatever, i dont really check some of them, unless i give it out and need to check it to log on or something...
I dont get email cause i have no friends;)
Oh, yeah...sorry for double posting, but...my roomate will click anything that pops up just to make it go away. It could have said "DOWNLOAD A VIRUS NOW, SO WE CAN DESTROY YOUR COMPUTER." if clicking the ok meant it would go away, he would do it. Arent most windows users like that, though?
huh...I dont get spam because i dont give out my email to any random person/site, etc...And if i need to give out an email, i have a couple of yahoo emails that are pretty disposable...
Actually, i dont really get any mail at all...yeah...
My roommate (college) gets lots of viruses. I cleaned up his comp one day and discovered a virus which had installed with his permission. It was actually in Add/Remove programs (windows). It had a readme file that said that it had installed after the user clicked OK to allow it.
Yeah.. So Funny...
Sharp develop was the first and only IDE i use for.net programming. True, i am a college student, not known for having much money. And, add to the fact, i am a fairly new programmer (about 2.5 years now (some c++ , java, c#)). But, yeah...good for making windows applications fast and easy.
Also there is a sharp develop linux port (not official) at Monodevlop.com http://www.monodevelop.com/ [monodevelop.com].
This port has started quite recently and uses GTK#.
Screenshot to a sticky note app i made.

I bet you feel better after cursing a lot...you might want to try this..http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/24
And, yes, I will try not to swallow my tongue
Please ignore my earlier reply.
I was a little peeved at something else and my judgement was obviously shot.
anyways, yes it was either the precipitation, aliens , or santa sprinkling snow on it!
Cheers!
What extraordinary claims do i make with no support? Feel free to be verbose..I thought it made sense.
I was kidding, you know...
Hmm maybe the aliens will give the probe a good wash too? http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/2 3/1929201&tid=160
Hmm..well it might be cool to see the pictures from the surface of the moon (of saturn).
Merry christmas everybody!

Santa has been going fast ever since he installed warp engines on the back of the sleigh.
He also stops time, just for the heck of it.
He uses an RSS reader to update the naughty and nice list too!
Merry Christmas Slashdot !
But has it been signed with Verisign?
Can anyone say P2P on wheels???
Actually with SP2, IE does have a built in pop up blocker. A lame attempt but, it is in existence nonetheless.
FINALLY, my second posting of the same comments have been posted on the site..

Though it is wickedly illegal !!
He was so cool and so smart...and then he pulls in with microsoft.....well, i guess its a good way to get a lot of money for nothing.
I dont even remember how many email addresses i have..maybe 6? Whatever, i dont really check some of them, unless i give it out and need to check it to log on or something... I dont get email cause i have no friends ;)

Very true, although, as you can gather from my post, i get no real mail..= no friends ... they cant get my email from anything...haha
Well, I scanned the comp again, of course.
huh...I dont get spam because i dont give out my email to any random person/site, etc...And if i need to give out an email, i have a couple of yahoo emails that are pretty disposable...
