OpenBSD _2.8_ was fairly bad in the test... but that's a pretty old version... as they say the CURRENT at that time was much better... and I think that is incorporated in the newer OpenBSD releases.. (as in at least 3.x)
I'm not so sure about that.... I've read that the ancient romans were fairly strict about this particular rule...
(This had some relation with how their abacus [tm] worked IIRC)
But yes, they did use some constructions that look wrong to most people these days.... Generally not using the subtraction rule much for instance.
(eg. Gate 29 on the Colloseum read XXVIIII)
The only rule that remotely resembles what you're talking about is that you can only put an I in front of V or X, only put an X in front of L or C, only put C in front of D or M. (that's the reason why MIM was invalid for 1999, MCMXCIX was one of the more correct options you had. 2000 was simply MM, 2001 MMI and 2002 MMII..)
Well.. for anyone with a decent personal "broadband" internet connection it shouldn't take much more than an hour to download that. (assuming that the serving machine isn't a bottleneck)
Isn't that pretty much a standard feature these days? (seriously meant question - my two last phones have been Nokias, so I think I can conclude that it's a standard feature on Nokias since a few years...)
And yeah.. that pretty much solves the typing problem (gotta LOVE this feature)... just that it takes a bunch of messages until you've added the weird words you like to use that aren't in the standard dictionary...:)
Huh? How is opening a new window a pain? Is hitting Control-N difficult? Or middle clicking on a link? Or clicking on the Navigator icon in the lower left?
No... not hitting ctrl-n... but waiting for 2-3 seconds before the new window appears... (Mozilla 0.9.3 on Athlon 700, 512 MB RAM)
With Mozilla 0.9.3 on my Athlon 700 (512 MB RAM) it takes about 3 seconds to pop up a new (empty) window.. (about 1 - 1.5 secs to open the load "open web location" dialog box)...
Am I missing something... I mean.. it's definitely not instantaneous to me?
What bothers me most about Mozilla is how long it takes to pop up the load page dialog and how long it takes to open new windows... (I'm a huge fan of "open link in new window")
Also I'm very interested in what you mean by "cheated by konqueror" (I took the liberty to fix the spelling)..?
The major problem with Mozilla is that it's so clunky that lots of people don't like to use it...
I mean... opening new windows etc is just a PITA with Mozilla...
I would have preferred if Mozilla would have been made into something light... not some huge-ass application that eats lots of resources and is sluggish on more or less any hardware..
Actually I think it would have been perfectly fair if someone moderated you down... You really are trolling... and I should really not reply to such obvious trolls.. but wtf...
The last version I tried was 0.9.3 (still current?) and that's the slowest browser I've tried in a long time...
I'm sorry, but Mozilla is not fast...
And not really any more stable than any other browser...
The only way one can get any benefits from the mozilla project is to use the gecko rendering engine with another UI... (like galeon)... but it's still a bit sluggish when opening new windows/tabs...
I'd actually say that for actual browsing Konqueror _IS_ superior...
It should be common sense to not open anything remotely suspicious if you're on a Win32 platform.
You should not open anything remotely suspicious no matter what platform you are on!
I mean... it's not like other platforms are immune to stupid users...
It's not like this was anything new at all when Asus introduced it in their drivers... (well I guess it was new that official drivers supplied this kind of feature.) --

Heh... Fortunately that is not correct...
Well.. the DMCA makes even unauthorized decryption of ROT13 illegal, right?
(For US citizens that is, of course...)
Geez... the consequences are really WEIRD.
Would "the same thing" be voting for their or the other company?
The ANSI standard declares that the official pronunciation is "es queue el."
Silly me, I thought KDE was a desktop environment rather than a window manager... ;P

There is no rule like that...

Half a second would be more reasonable... but it's not _instant_...
Instant is when the new window appears with no delay at all when you press the key combination. (by definition)

Do you ever use the "open link in new window" function?
Did you notice that's kinda slow in Mozilla?
Not to say very slow...
Some people (including myself) use that a lot... I personally find Mozilla unbearable for more than some testing at times...

Since when is Mozilla a stable and fast browser?

Why Y3K!?... you'd be facing the bug already at Y2.1K...
;)
Who did you say was born yesterday?
Important addition:
Also, never trust people on slashdot saying that this unofficial mirror is ok, the md5sums/gpg sigs are identical.. _ALWAYS_ check for yourself!
But how big is the overhead of the gzipping on a big website?
I just wondered... mod_gzip usually is a good thing, but this is the only major issue I can think of, from the administrators point of view...

Sure there is one.. just that you're not getting it!
How else would all the proprietary players exist and work as well as they actually do?

Is it just me or does this sound a bit like:

I know lots of "unix software" that has kicked ass at versions 0.x...

Same thing with lots of software for Microsoft OSen, just not any Microsoft products..
