Someone should write a plugin for Firefox that modifies the text of a slashdot article to reflect the effects of a slashdotting. For instance, this article would be changed like this:
"...directly with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. They had tons of pictures..."
How do they come up with these statistics? Its not something that you can easily track. Are they calling people on the phone and asking them if they download tv shows from the net?
Why is it that everytime someone makes something from parts they have "lying around", there's always one part they just happened to have, that is rare and/or expensive?
Since FF is open source, they could have just created their own branding of it ("Yahoo Explorer"?) and packed their toolbar with it. But I'm guessing they want to ride the firefox wave.
I think this will be a good thing. And encourge other sites to be standards compliant.
I'm a VC++ user. But then I learned to code in C before I learned VC++ (amazing how many people think that VC++ is a language and not a compiler). I think I do about as much coding with a text editor and command line compiler (djgpp) as I do in VC++. They both have their ups and downs.
Now wait just a minute. When apple released the Mac Mini, it's critics here were complaining about how underpowered it was. Now they release a hundred dollar pc and everyone wants one?

....why does the WebTV allow an attachment to reprogram itself?
...they really have fired everyone but the lawyers.
(Not accountants left to file the report. The website stayed hacked for a day or two--no IT people to fix it.)
Yes, but having WINE installed doesn't mean you don't also have Windows installed too.
So these signs of life could simply be ones that probes from Earth carried there.
...Santa may be real because he leaves me presents...
When people ask me a question and I answer "42", no one seems to get it.
Then shouldn't he have called it "Me, Robot"?
Why is it that everytime someone makes something from parts they have "lying around", there's always one part they just happened to have, that is rare and/or expensive?
Shouldn't all their "deep links" be generated on the fly anyway? And why wouldn't they want all the links to the frontpage that they could get?
:-)
It doesn't matter what they say about you as long as they spell your url right.
"Microsoft has fixed 15"
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users have had to"
"SuSE Enterprise Linux 9 users have had"
Seems to imply that Microsoft doesn't have to fix bugs. They just fixed these because they wanted to.

Symantec Antivirus May Execute Virus Code
I don't care if Symantec runs virus code, just as long as windows doesn't.
Ummm....isn't this like taking a database of animals and then just printing the primary key out as a barcode?
Does any one else see it? It seems like BG is more of a soap opera than a scifi series.
It's sad. But at my last two jobs, I don't think the interviewers know what a makefile is.

profitable business
Then why do they need to cut cost?
I'm all for capitalism, but I hate it when people get greedy.
I worked for a company once. They made something like 3.2 billion one year. They were upset because they didn't make the 3.3 billion they wanted too!
I'm like "You made 3.2 billion dollars!!!!!!!!"
rant.end()
When I first read this, I thought they meant that they had added a 3.5 inch floppy drive to the Mac Mini! :-)
Who did you have lunch with yesterday?
So maybe we should turn off all the runway lights? Cause airplanes have GPS too.
Now wait just a minute. When apple released the Mac Mini, it's critics here were complaining about how underpowered it was. Now they release a hundred dollar pc and everyone wants one?
increased install base and XPI malware beginning to appear in some websites
:-)
So that's why Firefox extensions are so hard to write. They're trying to prevent spyware.
Do any of the PC (non-internet based) map programs have any of this?
