  1. Re:Jason's design on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest Update · · Score: 1

    It looks good in Firefox 1.5.0.3 under XP, but has at least one issue when viewed in Internet Explorer 7 beta 2: For some odd reason the search box on top of the page wanders from the right side to the left (see here .)

  2. Erster Pfosten... on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    ... after /. came back onto its feet.

    And ontopic: The new GDS reminds me very much of the sidebar in earlier Longhorn/Windows Vista alphas.

    I'm not sure whether it's fully legal - on the other hand, MS ought to be embarrassed enough about having produced Bob to not sue whoever offers it for download.

    So here you go:

  6. Re:Have you guys heard about on Which is Better, Firefox or Opera? · · Score: 1

    No, it was IE 5. It ran under Solaris and HP-UX; for some strange reason it's installed on some of the servers running HP-UX here at the comp. sci. faculty. It's slow, buggy and ugly, and no one in their right mind would use it, but it exists.

    Damn, forgot a >... I meant to type Chief Event Organiser.

  8. Re:Linux changing in nature on Record Low Turnout in Debian Leadership Election · · Score: 1

    One of my co-students here is heavily involved in the Debian project (a certain Alexander Schmehl, (self-appointed?) CEvent Organiser for Germany) claimed that Sarge will be released before the LinuxTag 2005, i.e. before June 22nd.

    The rest of us are already preparing the humble pie for him.

  9. Re:Close Call on BBC Writer Tries PC Repair, Finds Poor Software · · Score: 1

    Having had to replace several cheap power supplies which came with a 40 case (including my own...) I have to agree with him. El-Cheapo power supplies are very prone to fail after, for example, a power surge.

    They're actually working on it. e17 CVS is usable (I'm in fact using it right now) and constantly being worked on - a release within this year is very well possible.

  12. Re:I have one positive remark on End Of Support for Windows NT 4.0 · · Score: 1

    This is one more reason for me being a German to be ashamed of this country. It's almost as bad as having David Hasselhoff top the charts back in 1990.

  13. Re:Ever wondered.. on AMD Plants Turion Line of Mobile Chips · · Score: 1

    The Pentium M is not based on the PIII. It has a newly developed core designed by Intel Israel.

    The 'information bar' newer Firefox versions display when a popup has been blocked was first seen in MS IE 6.0 SP2.

    Some associate Nov. 9th with not-quite-so-terrible events, such as the day the Berlin wall was opened (Nov. 9th, 1989).

    And others don't let the seriously twisted USian way of writing dates confuse themselves.

    Netscape 7.2 for Windows comes with the ActiveX plugin already installed. Sure surprised me when I looked at about:plugins after installing it.
