    Konqueror was a faster and more HTML/CSS standards compliant browser than Firefox, at least until Firefox 3.0 came out. It doesn't have the enormous mountain of resources Mozilla, Google and Apple do so it's been left behind since then.

    I saw the whole trainwreck (bugzilla bug 18574) unfold over several years. The libmng developers deserve medals for their effort - every time the goalposts were moved and they were ordered to make the library fit into an (intentionally) impossible small size, they actually did it.

    Thanks for another useless, proprietary format that none of us can use, Mozilla. Open Web my fucking ass.

  23. Re:Super Students where are you? on Steve Furber On Why Kids Are Turned Off To Computing Classes · · Score: 1

    I wish my school was that good. Keep those Y7s away from Windows and they might even learn something.

    -- BEGIN RANT --

    My school's IT classes were a nightmare. We had a typing class in year 7 on 128k Macs. That was the high point of the entire 7 years. The next year they threw out that entire room, typing class with it, and replaced them with excruciatingly slow Pentium 3s.

    The only valuable computing skill I learned inside of school hours was how to circumvent the brain-damaged security systems they used -- in order to get a PDF of an essay printed off and handed in on time. I used to get to classes 5 minutes early just so I could find a computer someone had accidentally left at a high resolution and frequency, instead of the headache-causing defaults (which of course couldn't be changed).

    I did AS/A2 computing, but there wasn't really any actual computing taking place in it. The PCs took 10-15 minutes to boot, 5-10 to log in, another 5-10 to start the IDE, 500ms for a keystroke to have any visible effect... and there was this one time one of the teachers' laptops infected the entire network with Sasser and we wasted 50 minutes helping the class teacher to run windows update manually on a room of PCs.

    Thanks, Microsoft. You useless shitheads.
