Could that be because it really isn't? How many people have shoved Nintendos and things into weird boxes? What's so special about this project? Because a woman did it?
I also believe that the browser can be configured with more options via Edit->Preferences. A lot of these options disappear in FireFox, and about:config is not the most ideal way of doing things.
Yeah, what's up with that? Why did they spend all that time developing XUL to make it easier to create user interfaces, get it all finished and then not even use it in the most obvious place that it would be useful? Makes no sense.
Thanks for the reply! That was a serious question. I don't see why people would think it's a troll. And even if it was "intended" to be a troll, I mean, so what? Are we not supposed to talk about the browser or something? I really don't think that my question was out of line. Clueless maybe, but so what? Do we have to be familiar with every piece of technology that comes out? I've been using Mozilla since 0.93 or whatever and I haven't had a chance to check out Firefox.
Judges should interpret and clarify the laws on the books, not write new ones.
That's ridiculous. Anything they add is going to be new. To call it "interpreting" is a bunch of political talk to give their decisions more moral weight in the eyes of the public. In other words, it's a gimmick.
Yeah! Anyone that calls for any sacrifice that puts *my* happiness in jeopardy is an alarmist and should be ignored! Fuck the human race! I don't care if I die as long as everyone dies with me!
Yeah, 7 sounds like a lot. I guess it depends on the nature of the vulnerabilities, too. If I cared about web browsers I would probably go look those up, but I'd rather not waste my time.
I think the worst thing about video game addiction is that it makes a person more dependent on a static environment and makes them more sensitive to changes. Socializing becomes more difficult, to the point of being emotionally painful, for example. Studies have been done about this. This could be applied to a lot of things, though, not just video games. Video games are just more apt to be addictive than most other sedentary activities.
It's misleading though, to say that a.5 version OS boots in under 20 seconds. Just because it boots like that now doesn't mean it always will. Over time, it will collect compatibility and security cruft like any other OS.
Get real! Why do people still say this crap? With a modern linux distribution you do not *have* to compile anything ever. You want a server, install the binary server packages. You want a desktop, install the binary desktop packages.
It's not that simple. You have to find the right binary packages for your distro in order for it to work and they often don't exist. I run Debian and often have problems finding binary packages for it, and a lot of the time when I find one, it's a version behind the current version. Pain in the ass! I have to compile source all the time.
C is pretty nasty about implicit casting to void* in that it does it all the time.
You get weird things like void* to implicit int casts too. I believe that's why C gets this distiniction.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Learn C.

What I mean is, it's good, obviously, but I don't think we are morally obligated to acknowledge its "greatness."

What are LSD's long lasting bad effects?
Back in my day, the only cognitive enhancer involved by bare butt at the end of a paddle!
Thanks for the link! Here it is linkified: How Independent is the FDA? Karma whoring, of course! :-)
This is the most fascinating Slashdot comment I've ever read. Please mod it up to 6.

Geeks are shallow, too. All they care about is what operating system you're running!

Why the fuck did I get modded as troll? Are you guys a bunch of fucking assholes or what? THIS is a fucking troll!
Hey, it's a record. Get over it.
Why should I switch from Mozilla to Firefox?

That your vote has more power in the electoral college system is only an illusion created by the complexity of the math. That's a ridiculous concept.

I think it's a good name. People will get used to it. I thought Windows was an incredibly stupid name for an OS when it came out, but...oh wait.

What nobody told you? This is the afterlife!
I envy you. I knew I was missing something in my Doom 3 experience, and I believe that's it!
Well, I wasn't trying to say that it doesn't take a lot of effort to code like that. I just think it gives C a bad name to people who don't know C.
