General Software Discussion / Re: Anybody Here Use SeaMonkey (2.0)?
« Last post by rgdot on October 24, 2009, 09:43 PM »
Yes 2.0, since the day it was available:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0

No stability issues that I have seen and I do use it daily, however not as primary browser. I held out longer than most but did eventually move to Firefox.

I am not sure where the lack of flexibility comes from?
I remember back in the early days Firefox (Firebird) when the decision was made to separate the apps every one was talking about bloat but I never understood why two programs instead of one is less strain on any system. Seamonkey wasn't and isn't hogging my memory/CPU any more than even Thunderbird by itself let alone Firefox which...well the memory usage of Firefox is well documented.

To answer the OP, I have very few extensions installed on my Seamonkey but anything I have tried has worked.

There is little reason that software should be treated differently than other commodities (unless you want to get into the open source and FOSS debates  :P ) DOpus is, if not the most expensive, among the most expensive of its kind. Whether the feature set justifies it and sets it apart from others of its kind is only up to each individual user.

Insightful and interesting, thanx.

I got to say that in 2009 after years of spam and malware fight it is somewhat amazing to see 'All sorts of people have put stuff in my inbox already'. One thing that I think should have been perfected by now is the balance between collaboration and privacy, but we are still failing at that. If catching spam or closing accounts based on suspicious activity is our best shot then we haven't come as far enough as we should.

Emailed them.

If the AVG warning came up it must have prevented an actual infection I think.

Clicking the 'GemX Forums' link on their front page popped up the AVG warning. Assuming AVG is not being paranoid or plain wrong someone likely attempted to inject a script  in their forums and/or site.

I will email them the details, even if it is nothing good if they at least know

Tried to see if there are any new updates, got an AVG warning when trying to access their forum (I copied the warning text, it's a hijack/cgi script)

General Software Discussion / Re: Who should judge Win7's success?
« Last post by rgdot on October 16, 2009, 08:04 PM »
Less CPU hogging is always good but shouldn't be the only issue, I know nobody here says that it is but I am just saying. Even security shouldn't be the deal breaker in of itself. Of course if I write an OS which practically attracts viruses and uses 100%CPU all the time no body would use it but in a stable computing environment something that 'fits your needs' goes beyond 5% less cpu and less chance of this or that.
Success of Win7 should be measured on how users individually adapt to it.

I, as well, don't recall early Vista reviews being very positive and 7 has been as near unanimous as I have seen from any MS product.
Who should judge? each end user and DON'T judge only based on security.

Some, even with substantial backing, just fail. It's not necessarily marketing or lack of budget but finding room for acceptance.
A slightly off topic example would be Yahoo's twitter equivalent, meme, it opened to the public very recently and I have seen less coverage for it than Apple bugs.

How many tech blogs featured that bug discovery? Especially if a similar bug was found on Windows how would the coverage and resulting commentary be? This mac just works thing is really silly.

General Software Discussion / Re: On free speech in forums
« Last post by rgdot on October 10, 2009, 09:53 PM »
The thing is if someone is seeking 'opinion' and 'expertise' what else can he/she or do? Downloading shareware trials are a software thing but other products?
Snow ball effects, information cascades or the perhaps derogatory sheep mentality have a valid origin in them. Even if there are numerous examples of them as exploits. One can have an 'independent' mind and not follow or fall into traps but the need for seeing 'what others have done' always exists.
Personally I would define falling for beliefs (insert_politician_name is the best or Apple_products_rule) differently than following the masses in buying a specific product. The broader is at the different level of thought than the narrower in my opinion.

Free speech is not harmed or rendered useless so long as everybody realizes that one person, anonymous or not, does not wisdom make.
If I read one negative review of a product it doesn't and shouldn't turn me off the product but when 100 people, who may be anonymous, repeatedly say negative things about a product it is more likely it's true.
Even if you account for spam posts or comments or even competitor sabotage on the whole still 100 negative do carry more weight than one negative review and by the way that's not exclusive to the web. Marketing ads on TV and other media regularly and by design tout a product over another while implicitly and explicitly discrediting the other.

Thanx, always on the look out for good and/or alternative CMSs. cmme looks promising and I will try and test it.
I know size should mean little or nothing especially if the features required are there and also that in cmme's case there is an images folder at 1.55MB, but a (non-DB) CMS approaching 10MB in size? Don't flame me but that's huge.
