i mean wasn't the whole idea behind firefox to get away from the "hey let's jam everything we can possibly think of into one browser app" idea that was bogging down mozilla? No. The idea behind Firefox was "hey let's not jam not-browser stuff in with a browser" like an email client, an HTML editor, etc. The actual browser component never had any features stripped out.
firefox will eventually just turn into 'Mozilla NG', and become yet another bloated turd of a browser, given the direction that 1.5 is taking, IMO. Firefox is getting more browser stuff, but it isn't adding non-browser stuff. It may get bloated, but it won't be bloated for the same reason the Mozilla Suite (now SeaMonkey) is.
Sounds sorta like Texas, but they're more about continuing to prove that they ain't no potbellied city boys from the US Dallas is one of the fattest cities in the world, and I've never seen anyone get pissed about being referred to as a city boy. It's the hick stereotype that everyone hates.
they're fucking Texans, and if you mess with them, Texas will fucking kill you. Haha. Heck yeah!
Katrina was a category 3 storm when it hit new orleans.
Really?
Recent testing on the floodwall has shown...
Did nobody ever think before the hurricane that maybe testing should have been done? The city does kinda depend on it and all. But we'll just rely on others to handle it for us. Yeah, that'll work.
Well over a million people in the greater new orleans area, plus a bunch of parishes to the south and east evacuated on just a couple days notice.
Well over a million you say? That's interesting, because you gave a slightly different figure before:
... besides helping a few hundred thousand human beings who's lives have been so severely impacted by flooding. (here)
You're obviously twisting the facts, so it would be foolish of me to believe anything you've written.
most experts on the subject say that to have prevented that flood would have had to have started 20 years ago and would cost billions of dollars. Which obviously the federal government should have taken care of. And the residents of course had no choice but to live in such a place.
while waiting for FEMA Of course, of course. What else could they have possibly done?
I work with a dude that left New Orleans and he is doing decently. Know why? Because he left. He didn't sit around though a hurricane and then wait for FEMA to come save him. He talks kinda funny but he obviously has more sense that most people in New Orleans.
We were hit by a hurricane that we're were powerless to prevent Which caused the city to be flooded which could have easily been prevented.
New Orleans exists where it does for a lot of practical reasons, and those reasons are very important to the economic workings of this country. The extreme majority of the population had nothing to do with shipping, fishing, oil, etc.
The local governments are working pretty damn hard. That's complete bullshit. Yall just sat your asses down and waited for the federal government to come help you. Nobody in their right mind would seriously believe that the local governments were working hard. There were hundreds of examples all over the news proving this. Parking lots full of unused buses, etc. were a very common occurance.
I question if any city/state/locality would have the resources to deal with something of this scale. Like, oh, say... Texas? We did a pretty good job of hauling our asses outta there when we heard a hurricane was coming through. It helped that nobody was living in a hole in the ground surrounded on all sides by huge amounts of water.
Flooding which, by the way, would not have happened if the Army corps of engineers had actually built the system to the tolerances that they had told us they did. Just another example of relying on other, non-local, groups. Did you never think that maybe yall should handle it yourselves? Also, it was publicly known that it could only handle a category 3 storm, and guess what? A category 4 storm broke it. What a surprise.
You don't have to transport something on the same format that you ripped it from to pirate it, and you only need one person to be able to rip it, not "everybody".
yeah missing and misplaced breaks (if something has to be brought out of a switch for some reason and is inside a loop) can cause hell its kind of a design issue with the C switch statement that if you don't wan't fallthrough you have to explicitly tell it you don't.
They've stated that they feel that there are more important features to work on than passing the Acid 2 test. There has been no attempt to pass it, so I don't understand why people are continuously surprised that it still isn't passing it yet.
"Hurricane 2005-47" seems good. I don't see what the problem with using numbers is anyway. Why do we need names? Calling a hurricane "Cutey Pie Susy" doesn't make it any less destructive.

Haven't we been through this enough times yet to realize that it doesn't work? All it does is encourage leet speak.
Google is your friend... Then why doesn't he ever call anymore?!
Not only that, but it's being sent as "text/html" and has presentation mixed into the markup. Quite nasty.

Liar. It's only 50 pages long. What kind of person could grow tired of uber exciting CPU charts after just 50 pages?

Why choose? Firefox can give you both!

It's possible that they wanted to show off just how much data they could fit on a disk.
It's only a matter of time I suppose. Banks have owned crazier things. A local bank here owns a peach farm, and that's just the beginning.
Could you give an example? I can't imagine when something like this would be needed.
And we'll use millions of tons of fossil fuel to put all those gigantic things up there! Brilliant!

Hurricanes are bad enough, but when those cans start swirling around ...

That's quite a catchy title.
13 centimeters is only about 5 inches across, and that's plenty small enough to fit in a desktop PC or a laptop.
Didn't work. Too bad Slashdot doesn't have some sort of preview feature so that you could have tested it out before making a post.
You didn't check out Blender, which is open-source? What are you doing at Slashdot?
