  11. why i'm not solely running Moz... on Mozilla 0.9.4 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    note: i'm predominantly running windows lately on my desktop machine. don't start with me. it's the curse of being a gamer.

    last year i ran in to NetCaptor (http://www.netcaptor.com), which, uses IE and, among other things, is "tab-able", and i simply can not go back now. (i'm addicted to tab-able apps. PowerShell rules! having 20+ windows open at any given time doesn't). so, my suggestion to developers is an add-on app that incorporates Moz for this. i'm sure i'm not the only one that would love to see this.

    just my .02

  12. compress them pages! on Financing Growing Websites? · · Score: 3

    note: i have no ties to this product whatsoever, it's just a kick-ass module.

  13. Re:good question on Why Isn't BSD a Desktop Operating System? · · Score: 1
    i partly agree with you... both forces *should* pull together... but saying it sucks LESS than Linux and then saying that the focus should be on Linux is just wrong!
    i firmly believe that MORE focus should be on freebsd as it's often perceived as "the other Linux" (read: the OTHER white meat =)
    the point is: as a freebsd advocate, i'd love to force my windows friends to use it, but the fact is, it'd be better for them to play around w/ Redhat first.
    i vote we leave people's options open... i became a *bsd advocate after years of running Debian... they're both gaining recognition, so whoever wins, wins!

    let's get over the "distro-wars" and focus on the main objective...

    the point is to detract as many windows-users as possible and open their eyes to open source whichever way works most effectively. which means "options". in my opinion, that's the most important purpose of the "movement", let's keep it that way...

  14. Re:Easy answer: on Why Isn't BSD a Desktop Operating System? · · Score: 1

    there ARE nVidia drivers for *bsd

  15. good question on Why Isn't BSD a Desktop Operating System? · · Score: 1
    i've been using it as my desktop for years. i don't understand this "server-only" mentality. i believe that that misconception is the only thing holding it back from being a desktop os as it's really no different than using any linux as your desktop.
    the better question is: how does the freebsd community create awareness of this fact?

  18. Re:FreeBSD can't keep up on The BSDs in the WSJ: "Help Build the Web" · · Score: 1

    as far as the license, it boils down to: "Give us credit for our work, and don't sue us if something breaks".
