Er, do you even know what XUL is? The *reason* galeon is so fast compared to mozilla is because it *does not* use XUL to build it's GUI. XUL is slow, and is essentially just a fancy pants way to do DHTML. Galeon doesn't use XUL in any way to build it's UI, it is a GTK application which links into the Gecko rendering engine.

The article asserts that the best way to block pop-ups in Mozilla/Netscape is to enable the option in the Preferences, or manually add this line to your prefs.js:user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);However, as has been pointed out, this only disables popups in the onload="" tag, and is simple for sites to work around.
The BEST way to TOTALLY BLOCKunrequested popups in Mozilla/Netscape is to add a line like this to your prefs.js:user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000); where 1000 is a number in milliseconds. Any window.open which takes place more than this delay aftera mouseclick will NEVER be processed. This type of blocking is pretty much impossible to get around; I haven't seen an unrequested popup in forever and a day. And requested ones work fine because they are in response to a mouse click. I really can't see how any sites can get around this block, short of using a window.setTimeout to try opening the window over and over again until it succeeds.
not a strict military-like society like Star Trek where knowlegde and research goes above all.
I really hate when people make this generalization. Earth in Star Trek is not "militarized" Starfleet exists totally seperate from the World Governmnet, just as the US Military exists seperattly from the US government. The difference between Earth in Satr Trek and Earth of today isn't the militarization, it's that people became enlightened enough to realize that property is MEANINGLESS. According to the timeline, this was way before they got replicators too, BTW( sometime in the late 21st cen, after WW3). After this revolution, people started just enjoying life, doing research and space exploration for the fun of it, not pointless material profit.
What the fuck? Of course it is sarcasm. Youve been able to do that since the 50s with timers you tool. Just like you've been ablew to program VCR's since they were invented practiclly.
A device that lets you program a VCR to let you record shows when you aren't there! What'll they think of next, a device to turn your lights on and off while you're away perhaps?? What a glorious technological revolution is ahead!
Do you have write access to your hard drive? ANYWHERE? to save anything? Then you can install Mozilla. It doesn't need access to any specific directory or your registry or anything, unlike other gay software. Download the zip file, unzip. Done. Install the IE theme from themes.mozdev.org so you don't get caught red-handed.
This is the old Mozilla behavior (pre-0.96). Since then it has evolved into not opening a ne window unless the call was made within a certain amoutn of milliseconds of a mouse click. This is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to fake out.
If you haven't used mozilla since 0.96 you don't know what you're missing, it has improved alot. I never use IE here or at work anymore. Download it then go to themes.mozdev.org and get some cool skins.
What verison of Mozilla was this on? The featre was changed drasticlly around 0.96 from "Block all popups" to "Block all popups that do nto happen within x millisecods (customizeable through your prefs.js) of a mouseclick or keypress". I seriously fail to see how you would be "missing a huge amount of content", and i have never had that problem. Any clicks to a window.open() event I REQUEST work fine, all others die.
Yeah I suppose a newbie might not understand it first off. Slashback revisits stories posten recently with some interesting (and sometimes vital) additional info or clarifications. They usually do around one or two slashbacks a week. These are the articles where replys to the editorial team like "Thats not true!!" or "You should have also had a link to this..." go.
The DOM between IE and Mozilla is almost exactly the same, the only major difference between them is the events model. Thankfully IE's event model can very easily be emulated in Mozilla, so this isn't even really an issue. Where did you get this idea that the DOMs are "completely different"? Assuming you have done any amount of work with them, I really fail to see how you could come up with this.
I still love google as well, but Teoma is decent and fast. Like Google, they don't shove banner ads down your throat, and the prominantly display sponsored links. They also have some cool unique features to refine your search to relavant areas, rather than you having to manually choose the narrowing keywords yourself. Give em a gander.
Ok, for one, that 800 mhz would blow the pants off that 2 Ghz any day of the week. You obviously A) do not know your RISC vs CISC, and 2) Didn't read the above post, at all, where he explains it quite well. If you wanted a machine that could match a 800Mhz G4, you are looking more at 2.5 or even 3 Ghz on an intel. Then add in a firewire card and try comparing your prices.
A large reason for the awful VM mess that 2.4 was in around 2.4.8 - 2.4.11 or so was largely due to the fact that a totally new VM was just kind of "thrown in" to the "stable" branch, probably mainly cause there wasn't a 2.5 branch yet at that point (as I recall). This is the sort of thing that branching earlier would hopefully prevent. While the stable branch may not have some of the "bells and whistles" it could have gained from keeping the branches together, at least hopefully a mess like that can be avoided.
Yes, There is an icon box - type Kicker extention very simmilar to the one in E, I was using it for a while. It shows only the icons of the open windows, and can be set to be transparant. I forget th enam eif it.. but just go through the kicker rxtentions and it is there somewhere. And you can simply remove the task list, it is just a Kicker applet.
Accomodate other readers eh... lets see... what accomodates more people. A plain text document that can be read by pretty much every computer capable of accessing the Internet, or a proprietary binary format that is only viewable by Windows AOHell users... hrmmm.... tough choice.
Wasn't this whole subject about web pages that didn't work anywhere except for inside IE? There is obviously something you can't do in other browsers that can be done in IE. (But since you asked, try embedding an ActiveX control in anything but IE. "So what?" you might say....well, this is probably part of the complaint that things don't work anywhere but in IE.)
Horrible example. ActiveX is OK for company intranets, where you can control the browser and security priviliges. But they are totally unacceptable for a public website. First of all, by definition you are shutting out not only all UNIX users, but all Mac users as well (even those who use IE). Secondly, you are shutting out all users who have ther security premissions set higher. Third, you are often displaying a nasty "Security Alert" dialog to your users, which to the non-savvy web user can be quite alarming, and cause them to go elsewhere. Quite frankly, anything you could possible want to do (UI wise) in the ActiveX can be done in client side script anyway.
Your hatred for Microsoft is clouding your better judgement. Look back at what has happened with standards bodies in the past. They are largly bureaucratic organizations that take so long to argue about the set of standards that the thing they were standardizing is almost useless by the time they are finished. Take a look at how long it took to define ANSI C and even get a proposed standard for C++. Look at what ICANN has done as a standards body. This is a good thing?
ICANN never was a standards body, they are a regulatory body, which is quite a different matter. The W3C has avery good track record with prompt definitions of standards, which are widely accepted, and a good forward-looking attitude. For the most part, IE follows the DOM stanrdards quite well, but not to the letter. The most significant deficiency is in the event model for IE. However, for anyone willing to put an extra 5 minutes into their client side script, you can make your stuff work on all W3C DOM browsers, as well as IE. People who complain that it is "too time consuming" or "you can only do this in IE" are just being ignorant. If they would spend a half hour and go read the spec, they would see that 95% of IE's DOM model is in the standard, and the rest are things almost no one uses, and everyone can do without, like DHTML behaviours.
Is there a viable alternative to PayPal? Yes. Its called the USPS, Canada Post, or whatever. Anyone who actually TRUSTS PayPal with their money is seriously derranged. I personally have been screwed to the tune of 60 dollars by them, and I wouldn't touch their service with a 10 foot pole. Thousands of others have simmiar stories. Just do a google search on PayPal fraud.

Hire Google to overhaul the USPTO prior art database.

Not really scary to me, seeing how their entire product line is useless on any of my Linux machines anyways.
