As a sidenote - it's good to see Firebird as a lightweight browser that does NOT require the installation of Mozilla.
It's a bit pointless to install Galeon because it requires Mozilla.
IMHO, why bother? I don't want 2 browsers on my machine...if you can use Gecko as a stand-alone component without the Mozilla baggage, you should do it.
Has anyone logged the bug that we're unable to control the CPU use of flash/Java applets? IE can handle 50 pages of flash applets with no problem since the applets themselves are "reniced".
15 or so Yahoo News pages would bring my Mozilla down to a halt.:(
Also, If you leave too many Flash applets open Mozilla will grind to an annoying halt. While the same load in IE continues to run. The difference? IE controls how much CPU to give to the Flash applets. Mozilla doesn't.
Is "applet nicing" possible? It should be one of the features urgently needed for Mozilla to be usable today.
Set a precedent so that the lawmakers will not buy into an unrelated but sure-to-happen future legislation - the consideration of open FORMATS, which is the real deal.
Somewhere here on Slashdot there was a story about it a few days ago. Could someone dig it up? It has to be announced loud and clear that open FORMATS, not open sources, must be considered - at least it'll silence these "procompetition" groups.
you can go on an ocean liner and see the curvature of the horizon out in the middle of the water
Even if the earth were flat, you'll see the "curvature of the horizon". It has nothing to do with the earth being flat - just a limitation of the human visual system.
However, I'll remain sceptical towards US space policies until I see Galileo (the EU GPS alternative) up and running without kowtowing to Pentagon pressures based on unfounded fears.
I have an alternate proof too, and it is considerably shorter than yours, since it fits in the submit box. However no matter how I change it the lameless filter always says "have you cut your tongue?" someone please help
If one of your product's main selling point is to make as many "convenient" features as possible to a non-technically alert population, you cannot escape from security problems.
If I were in charge I'd stop the practice of feature-bloating the products and dumbing down the user interface.

Yes, the power is in the applications, if they are the applications Steve or Bill wants you to run.
Say, if 3 years from now, movie ripping applicatons would only be available on one OS. Which one do you think it would be?
That's why I run Linux.
The H-BOMB? It fits the patent pretty nicely, and is a clear prior art.
That might be true for india but would not quite apply to China.
First, China is already considered a "power".
And, they *ALREADY* have rockets that can deliver nuclear weapons with pinpoint accuracy to any spot in the world.
It pretty much leaves the advancement of science as the biggest reason of their space program.

What can I say except that I'm sorry to learn about your full size keyboard skills. Practise more.

Artist, Celine Dion? They belong to the same sentence? This is blasphemous.

Any issues of MS buying the patents of RAV Antivirus, which would affect others who develop security software for Linux?
I'm still looking for a way to break encrypted ZIP files without bruteforcing the password.
If you think "Zip encryption has always been a joke", that means you have a good way.
Please share it...
True that.
However, I'll remain sceptical towards US space policies until I see Galileo (the EU GPS alternative) up and running without kowtowing to Pentagon pressures based on unfounded fears.
Holy batman calmdown.
Maybe I misplaced a word. Try to replace "dominance" by "monopoly". You'll get my idea.
Do I hate the US? Hell no.
Do I hate its space policies? Fuck yes!
Look at what happened to Columbia, what happened a few years back to a probe that was the result of not using metric.
Look at what the pentagon is trying to do when Europe is planning a GPS alternative.
There are enough reasons for at least me to not like what US is doing with its space program, and calls it the "pinnacle of human technology". Bah.
Good thing that the rest of the world is putting up a good fight against US space dominance.
I can't wait to see the Europeans make another important scientific discovery before US does.

Problem is, Open any magazine and you'll learn that Microsoft is on a rampage advertising campaign to preach that its products are secure.
When in fact it is far from the truth.
This false sense of security is exactly what makes their product very vulnerable.
MS needs to admit the security flaws publicly, loudly, and stop preaching bullshit.
Cannot agree more.
If one of your product's main selling point is to make as many "convenient" features as possible to a non-technically alert population, you cannot escape from security problems.

Don't you think it's just a workaround so that people can still use inch everyday while officially claims that the US uses "metric"?
Americans have never missed anything by not using the metric.
Turns out that the meter is screwed. Ha, told ya!!
Disclaimer: I am Canadian, and use metric.
We should be expecting to find water spots on all bank notes resulting from people dropping water on them to see if they're from inkjets.
Companies like Farrari, Porsche and Hyundai are shining examples of great auto manufacturers too
Investigate on what? On how to make up excuses "this is an unexpected irregularity of the driver"? This is ridiculous.
It's clearly a deliberate attempt. But it looks like NV's going to deny responsibility on this one.
Shame on them...
Nope, but probably played word games a bit TOO much nowadays
