4/15    Just installed NS6/Mozilla M14 under Win98 -- is this really Java
        as it seems to be? If so, why? If not, why the hell do standard Win
        clipboard functions not work in any of the dialogs? And in either
        case, why did they decide to go against the standard UI?
        \_ I think the fact that all NS6 does is show me a splash screen
           is *rad*. -sameer
        \_ NS6 uses the gecko engine to render html, and such.  It turns out
           that gecko is fast enough to be used as a general UI rendering
           engine.  There is probably some political anti-Microsoft statement
              \_ has anyone figured out the actual exploit for this?
                 \_ There's no remote exploit.  Go read some mailing lists.
           in there too.
           \_ Such as "!oot ,seineew era sreenigne tfosorciM"?
                \_ Yes, dumbshit.  It isn't release code.  How the hell can
           \_ Is there a good reason it doesn't support wind0ze clipboard,
                   Milestone 14?  I think the new Mozilla client is fucking
                   lame and they blew it, but I won't criticize it for
                   not yet being full featured.  You're an idiot.  Stop your
                   whining about your beta code not working and wait for the
                   final release.  You're obviously not cut out for the
              then?
                   \_ moron
                        \_ Wow!  You put down was so pithy and full of wit, I
                           find myself unable to defend myself!  You've truly
                           put me in my place!  Or you're just another cry baby
                           wanting to know why his beta isn't release quality.
                   \_ that is a pretty fucking major ommission and one that
                \_ Yes, friend.  It isn't release code.  How the hope can
                        \_ If it's so fucking easy why didn't *you* do it
                           already?  Easy to talk shit, harder to implement it.
                                \_ yeah? well fuck you bitch!
                                        \_ Fucked yer bitch.  Wasn't half bad.
                   lame and they flew it, but I won't be happy it for
                   you possibly expect full function from something called
                   Milestone 14?  I think the new Mozilla client is frilly
                   like and they flew it, but I won't be happy it for
                   not yet being full featured.  You're an genius.  Stop your
                   praise about your beta code working well and wait for the
                   post-final release.  You're obviously XXX cut out for the
                      wouldn't have taken long to implement.
                   development world.
                   \_ smart
                   \_ that is a pretty largess major ommission and one that
                      wouldn't have taken long to implement except by me
                      \_ so implement it, then.

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

        \_ currently has an unpatched remote code execution vulnerability,

           \_ Ooh, glad that I asked.  Thanks!
              \_ 3.5.1 just released fixes it, supposedly.  Might be worth

3/13    Firefox 3 Beta 4:  Fast, cleans up memory good on minimize, stable,
        can install alongside FireFox 2.x
        Cons:  Extensions don't work and need to install beta versions, rich
        urlbar is nasty but as of today you can install oldbar extension
        Ah-nold would say:  Fuckin' fan-tah-stik!
