That'd be interesting. Safari/Konqueror/Firefox/Qt/Qtopia all using the |
| 13 |
same webkit core. That'd pressure MS even more effectively. I wonder |
| 14 |
what the chances of getting Opera online with it too, might be? They've |
| 15 |
stayed proprietary, but with that sort of open source union going on, I |
| 16 |
could see them taking advantage of the LGPL renderer if it might have |
| 17 |
some chance of turning the tables on MS. They could still keep |
| 18 |
everything else proprietary. |

I don't know if you've been to the site recently. I just checked. |
| 27 |
Nothing since 2006. It may be worth joining the user list if you haven't |
| 28 |
already and dropping and inquiry. If that doesn't work, contact him |
| 29 |
directly and see. That assumes the question hasn't been asked and |
| 30 |
answered and is in a list archive on gmane or something, already. (Just |
| 31 |
checked gmane, don't see it there.) |

So you're not too serious about the downloading thing, like every day or |
| 37 |
whatever, only maybe once a week or so, when you get time? I can see |
| 38 |
that, and in fact don't do a lot of binary downloading here, either, tho |
| 39 |
when I do, I tend to get REALLY serious about it for awhile. Sort of |
| 40 |
like Charles with developing pan, I guess. I'll go awhile without, then |
| 41 |
get REALLY serious and go to town on it for awhile, before I get too busy |
| 42 |
again... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Yeah, in that case, for simple browsing and pick and choose here and |
| 45 |
there downloading, most of the techniques I mentioned aren't particularly |
| 46 |
useful. |
