Personally, I think it's annoying when I have to scroll through a days worth
of discussion to get to your sig quote. (likes reading them me) So Netscape does that you say? hehe...silly, silly Netscape. As for it getting in the way, I don't think 3 lines of minimal text will hurt anything. ;-) -- - Syntax - http://www.swcity.net http://forum.swcity.net <--- OE all the way, baby...

Mozilla 1.1! Netscape 7's been released, but it's based on an earlier version of Mozilla (1.0.1) and bloated with extra (useless) features.

Features that are easily removed/disabled, btw. Nothing against Mozilla,
but having the Netscape name attached to it at least gives it the appearance that it's a tried and tested browser (even if it *is* infected with AOL) rather than a relatively untested open-source browser. Then again, 6.0 sorta disproved that theory, didn't it? :P Just call it loyalty, then. :P [View Quote] -- Goober King Brand loyalty is a fading trend... robrod at prism.net shredAug 30, 2002, 4:49pm
True, but why should you have to go to the trouble of removing all the AOL spam and other junk? Besides, you can download the Mozilla 1.0 trunk if you're concerned about stability: it's the most stable release of the Mozilla browser. Netscape 7 was based mostly on that build.

Its easy to knock out the thread deletion, just use the registery to take it out.

Reread my last sentence. :P
[View Quote] -- Goober King Give me Netscape, or give me... something else! robrod at prism.net goober kingAug 30, 2002, 6:23pm
The point is, you shouldn't *have* to touch the registry. Why OE even
bothers to delete threads is beyond me. :P [View Quote] -- Goober King Do programmers actually *use* the programs they program? robrod at prism.net goober kingAug 30, 2002, 6:25pm
KAH, I beg of you, before it's too late: Just let it go, man. As if you
weren't already Eep enough... :P [View Quote] -- Goober King Where's *you're* sig delim, huh? HUH?! :P robrod at prism.net shredAug 30, 2002, 7:21pm
I did read it. My reply was unaffected: I just stated that if you were concerned with stability issues, you could try the Mozilla 1.0 trunk.

Must be a relic of old teletype writers that didn't have
"insert" capabilities *g Newest information on top so you see it at once vs. old stuff on top so you can read through the chronology, I think this is just a matter of taste, both have advantages. As the follow-ups usually follow quite fast, the reference post should still be available in most cases - easier to read than the quoted text, so the quoting becomes less important - except you reply to specific parts of a post - so I prefer the reply on top. Some make their posts even more unreadable than bottom- repliers by placing a lot of crap above the original post, well, their style. Let's not be more catholic than the pope.

One advantage Netscape has over Mozilla: A spell checker! :P
[View Quote] -- Goober King Very important tool in this most hazardous of environments... robrod at prism.net shredAug 31, 2002, 8:29pm
Actually, Mozilla does have a spell checking module for download, which I have installed. There are no spelling errors in my post that I am aware of.
[View Quote] goober kingAug 31, 2002, 8:34pm
Yes, but Netscape comes with it already installed. :P
[View Quote] -- Goober King Guess that's part of the "bloated" features. :P robrod at prism.net shredAug 31, 2002, 8:40pm
Why should it come pre-installed? Customized installation is much more efficient, especially for those of us with severely limited bandwidth. Unless you can't specify which components to download and install during Netscape's installation, I wouldn't bother with mindlessly downloading *all* of the installation files.

Actually, the NS installer isn't like most installers, you download a small app that downloads the components you want and then installs them. But lets stop fighting over what's best of Mozilla and NS, they're family lol. KAH shredAug 31, 2002, 9:43pm

That's the kind of installer I was talking about. I was assuming that the NS installer came in one gargantuan file - like many (if not most) do.
goober kingSep 1, 2002, 2:36am
Like you said, Netscape is based off Mozilla, and that includes the
installer. Netscape just gives you more stuff to turn on or off. [View Quote] -- Goober King Too bad it doesn't include that verdammy AOL icon. :P robrod at prism.net |
