All removing the widget will do is give people a false sense of security. Right, Chris - but your arguments apply to a personal firewall too. The only solution is not to install malicious software, especially not with root rights. GB

it is identical to the mail6 keyword! Let's analyze this. You say they're identical, if so, then why duplicate it? We don't need your keyword then. You neglected to quote me correctly annd mention that I had also (repeatedly) said the the mail6 should be morphed to include ALL components (not just mail)! You say they're identical, but who would make a keyword like mail6 mean that the marked bug is a low risk/high reward bug? Where's the logic? Ask the people who created the mail6 keyword if you want to know who. They're NOT identical. Using my secret decoder ring, I can tell you that the mail6 keyword is for NS people to track bugs for Netscape 6.x's mail news component. If it's useful to NS, it could also be useful to Mozilla. Lastly, you never replied to my statement that low risk/high reward is subjective, thus not easily able to be boiled down to a flag or keyword. Who said it would be easy?

Re: java plug-in doesnt work on this site
If you go to the above site or the parent page http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/ and select demos for 1.3 based applets it correctly uses the plug-in. If I disable java (ns) then I dont get the plug-in or the built in vm. I cant find anyway to force the usage of the vm. If you read the source on the above page it explicitly calls for version 1.3.1 java.

post-docs, etc. We used to have a bunch of referential materials and readings for them to get acquainted with our protocols. I can tell you that invariably, all of them always ended up ignoring that and going to the jr. or senior members of the group for help and guidance. The What happens if nobody's available? I'm sure that there's some reason that you have reference materials in the first place. If you didn't need them than why were they created? I'll bet that they're still being created too. The idea behind them is that they're good to have in case there's nobody around to act as a mentor, for whatever reason. (The person's on vacation, they've left the company, they're too busy at the moment to get involved in the educational process, and so on.) In addition to that, the group dynamic of the world visiting a set of Web pages as a starting point for a project, even the dynamic of online discussion and email interchange, is far different than that of in-person group dynamics. If you're working in a company you're right that your often better served by going to a person and asking something. But if you're sitting at home, staring at a computer screen, that option's not available. Some people might well feel better just clicking on an existing link to get to a source of information than feeling awkward writing to somebody they don't know and waiting for a response. There are a lot of other considerations, but suffice it to say that the psychological / sociological interactions in computer based communications are different than what you'd experience in a company with a team of people.

Mozilla 0.9.3 Cache/folder storage Woes... Help Please
Hi, I Need to change the mozilla cache/news/mail folder directories permanantly to some other than the default location. How can I do this? I would prefer to store nothing at all in the default location, and instead specify an alternate directory. For more info read on! I'm using Mozilla 0.9.3 on Windows 2000 Professional at work. My directory where all my user settings (profile) are kept includes the netscape cache as well as news and mail folders. This is fine, but unfortunately our network admin only allows 6MB for profile space. The disk cache alone maxes this out every time I use Mozilla, and it does not clear it at exit. I tried diabling the cache (size 0) this solves the caching problem, but I still have trouble with news filling up my profile space and lets not even get into mail folders at this point. I have no choice but to change all these folder storage locations, so I don't keep getting Profile Storage Space Exceeded error message. Thanks, Mike

Still, there are some people who do function better with reference material, and it's also the case that one person (Asa) can only do so much.

At such a point it would be nice to have a backup system such as the static link. I don't think that any of us who have been advocating a change in one manner or another have said that any of the existing systems must be discontinued.

The answer is NO. unless of course you pay hotmail money and get Pop mail access. Then I believe it should work. - Pratik. MeTwo wrote:
mozilla + fvwm: bug?
hello, when a pop-ip window is opened from my mozilla, the outline of that window is shown to take up the whole screen, and only when i click to place a window, the window is resized to take up a small space it normally occupies. i am running fvwm2, with ActivePlacement and NoPPosition, and mozilla 0.9.3 this is not how it used to be in earlier versions (neither is this behavior exhibited by any other application). is this a bug, or am i doing something wrong ? also, while on the subject of fvwm and mozilla, does anyone know how to make transient windows also behave as activeplacement, meaning to allow me to place them wherever i like them ? right now, both netscape and mozilla, when popping up transient windows (like a search dialog box, or an open file, or something) show up in the upper left corner, which is very annoying. thanks, denis
100,000 bug sweepstake
Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the date and time, in: 2001-01-01 10:10:10 [EMAIL PROTECTED] format, of when exactly you think bug number 100,000 is going to be filed in bugzilla.mozilla.org. Asa won a holiday to someplace near Yosemite at the picnic today, but the tight-fisted old so-and-so refuses to give it away, so the prize is merely a free next-generation web browser and a year's subscription to MozillaZine (a $39.95 value.) You are allowed to file bugs to manipulate the result as long as you honestly think they are valid ones. :-) Let the guessing begin! Gerv
