RTFM. It says right in the changelog that more swing has been added.
"There have been many improvements to the class library. Here are some highlights: Much more of AWT and Swing exist. Many new packages and classes were added, including java.util.regex, java.net.URI, javax.crypto, javax.crypto.interfaces, javax.crypto.spec, javax.net, javax.net.ssl, javax.security.auth, javax.security.auth.callback, javax.security.auth.login, javax.security.auth.x500, javax.security.sasl, org.ietf.jgss, javax.imageio, javax.imageio.event, javax.imageio.spi, javax.print, javax.print.attribute, javax.print.attribute.standard, javax.print.event, and javax.xml Updated SAX and DOM, and imported GNU JAXP"
This is a blatant lie. I have a 300 Mhz laptop, 64 MB ram, running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE with Gnome 2.10, and i have no problems at all. Sure booting up takes a bit of time, and logging into gnome, but after that it flies. I am still using the latest and greatest software, freshly compiled from the ports tree.
I don't see why old hardware should be left behind. I still have a 133 Mhz, 64 MB ram, in the closet doing SETI, and other work i want it to do. So what if it is slow, it can still encode my DVD's into MPEG4.

Opera 8 Released

· Score: 1
I did not know that Firefox was considered to be precious. Being a Safari user myself, who has used the latest Opera (On Windows), i must say i am impressed.
However, there are short comings on all fronts, including Opera, Firefox, Safari and Internet explorer. There is no good way to compare them all as they all offer their own special way of doing things. Thus i feel that making comparisons between the three/four (If IE is still part of it), is unfair, and should really not be done. I am neither an Opera, Firefox, or Safari fan-boy, and will never be considering the fact that on all the projects i have worked so far the requirements were that it work in all four browsers seamlessly, and if at all possible, in links.
Please do yourselves a favor, and stop picking sides. It won't help your argument, and will only cause the other to post more idiotic replies which don't make sense.
As for the issue at hand, the HTTPS not working behind a proxy, i have had this issue myself, however i am unable to reproduce the problem with the latest version of Opera, so i can not really comment on that.
All i want to say is that Safari, Opera, and Firefox are extremely viable web browsers. I currently use Safari and Firefox for development of websites, with occasionally Opera and IE, but that is because Opera on the Mac has never "felt" right.
Have a good day gentlemen, and enjoy your flamewar. Every browser does what it is supposed to do, all of them differnent with different feature sets.
Ye might want to consider getting that HTML page up, or doing something about that flash. The balls take to long to get to the bottom, and your avg. internet user will have already closed the window.
Americans are so uptight about what they see. In europe we do not like violence, movies on TV can have all the nudity they want, but violence is looked down upon.
When I go back to the netherlands and i come over with a set of new movies i got in the US, most people i go to visit won't let their kids watch the movies. If i brought back a normal film from The Netherlands people in the US would be disgusted, and probably sue the crap out of me.
We were all born naked, it is our natural bodies. What is wrong with that?
"Assuming that this particular software has it, and it works as you expect. Every one is different. And often this option isn't available unless you pay for an account (more on that later.)"
Eh? Pay for an account? There are SOOO many forums out there where you do not have to pay, that you will probably easily find a forum which contains the topics you like to discuss.
"Most is a stretch. Some is probably more accurate. And generally they don't offer you that unless you actually pay them for an account. Which makes sense, as images do suck up the bandwidth."
There are a select view that force you to pay for attachments, the 10+ forums that i frequent, they all have it enabled, and there is no charge for accounts, and even then, is it that hard to use imageshack, and then link to the image via imageshack?
"Paying for an account to get access to the features that Usenet has given me for decades is even worse. I wouldn't mind paying $5/month or so, but that $5/month only covers one board. Alas, I don't just follow one group in Usenet, but instead a few dozen. If these all moved to web forums, that would be probably be like $100/month just for some of the functionality I have now with Usenet. "
Find free forums. There are multiple's out there. There has got to be one which suites your taste, and has the topic you enjoy reading.
"It's not easy to run a spell checker. Perhaps they offer some java one, but what if you don't let your browser run java? And every forum is different..."
There are extensions for browser that enable this feature. I agree with you though that it is harder to do this. Some web forums support the ability to do spell checking for you when you submit your post, http://broadbandreports.com/ is one of them.
"How do you save a thread to your disk? Make a bookmark? That might work for a week or two, but sooner or later, the forum will get upgraded, or moved, or shut down, or the content will be expired -- and the link you saved is dead. Same goes for trying to keep a record of everything you've posted. With Usenet, it's trivial."
Save it? Easy. If this forum type has a print button, hit it, then go to file -> save as, and select the options you want. Saved:D.
"Suppose you recall seeing something on a forum a year ago. But don't recall exactly where. How will you find it? It's probably expired off the forum, if the forum still exists at all. If so, google probably won't find it. The Internet Archive might have a copy, but that's iffy. With Usenet, you just hit google and enter some phrases and you'll probably find it quickly enough."
Again, from experience, most forums will save all the old threads, and google will index them just perfectly.
On a forum i frequent, we still have threads from back in 1999, which is when the forum was started, and since then we have never lost a post. Google can still find them with no problems at all, and most forums have a search feature.
BTW, you are relying on Google to keep a perfect archive of all the usenet posts, what if they lose an email, or the group dies out and the archive is lost? Would that not be the same thing as a web forum disappearing, google still has a cache of an old site i did, eventhough that site has not existed for the last 3 years now. (Scary really, the bad HTML i used back then:P).
"Suppose the forum administrator doesn't like you or your views. So he deletes your posts, or worse -- edits them. And there's nothing you can do about it but go somewhere else. Perhaps open your own competing forum?"
There are mostly multiple forums for the same topic. Find one that you like. On the forums i frequent, the only reason a admin would step in and delete a post or move it is if it is blatant spam or a flame war. But that would be the same as using a moderated group on Usenet, sure some of them can be deleted, but don't piss off the admin and you should have no problem. Most admins ar

Slashdot won't do you no good for new vulnerabilities. They are always a few days late with the news, and most system admins will have patched by then!
I can not RTFA even if i wanted to, unless i can find a mirror:P But by the sound of it, all they are doing is generating an magnetic field to let the battery charge.
My toothbrush, a braun Proffesional care, allready does this. It is completely water proof, but yet when i stick it on the charger it charges. There are no connectors or anything.
if google were to go into the telecommunications business they could make a killing if they did it properly.
What i am thinking though, they want to build their own private network which links their many datacenters around the US, so that we can get our search results even faster, or any of the other things like gmail.
Storing mail in two seperate locations is possible, but it would make for a pain in the ass if it takes to long to sync the changes between the servers in different datacenters to get people even faster response times from gmail.
This is off course all speculation.
Google in the telecommunications being a competitor to Verizon, T-Mobile, bell, Comcast, OOL, and other internet providers would be a good thing. They would be on of the only companies that would know how to do VOIP the right way.
I want my games way past their origional release date. Most of the time updates have allready come out to fix most major bugs, and game play has been further updated.
Working people extremely hard only introduces bugs and causes your product to have flaws which for the first people to play it will make it an experience that is not worth it.
