More press for Gecko.

Landley writes "Here's an introductory article from developer.com about Gecko and NGLayout. Mentions Linux and Apache in passing, tries to comprehend "Open Source" but calls it "public domain" at least once, bit of speculation about the Netscape/AOL merger and future use of the technology... Not a lot new here, but worth a quick look anyway. " Gecko still seems to be crashing on my box. Ah well, Officially I want to make Slashdot work right with it- but really I just want gtk themes *grin*.

serious journalism?

[MagPulse]

"Tries to comprehend"? I like developer.com, do they really deserve an attack like that? I guess slashdot is equivalent to an editorial-only section of a real newspaper, but I liked the article..

"Only" a browser..

[Honeylocust]

Don't forget that web browsers are the best "clients" for database applications like Slashdot and these "enterprise" applications we keep hearing about. Forget the failure of Active X, Java Applets and Dynamic HTML -- Classic HTML and forms are here to stay, at least until Microsoft finds a way to embrace and extend...

Gecko release

[Rayban]

This release will mean a lot for a lot of people. OSS is slowly taking over. Imagine the quality after the world's users get six or seven months to pour over the source code and fix the bugs that make it crash!

Anyone else notice the hidden text?

[dirty]

I was just doing a comparison of how the page looked in Netscape vs. IE (i'm really bored). And in IE I noticed some text over that blue border on the left. It was collored white so it didn't show up anywhere else, in netscape the text fell completely within the white background. Here it is:

"The preeminent online programmers journal and resource for software developers, programmers, web builders and information technology professionals working on software development, web building, programming and need programmers news and updates. "

Kinda interesting.
