[SpikeFriday] Looking at open source code, Next FireFox beta ready, Ssssh maybe people won't notice
Assuming you haven't been living in the secret underground lab at Microsoft, then you will have no doubt have heard about this whole open source milarky. This is ability to see the source code for any software that claims this mantra. Precious few people actually bother to look at the source code because it would probably be meaningless to them. However have you ever wondered what it does look like? You ever thought of toe tipping into the unknown? Linux-Mag is running an article that takes you through obtaining source code and how you can download it and see it for yourself and wonder in its glory. File this in the "stuff to do when you are really bored one Sunday afternoon".
The latest FireFox beta is ready for you to take for a test drive the Download Squad reports. I have been using the last beta 1.5b1 for a number of weeks now, and on the whole its been a lot slower and the Javascript side of things a lot more buggy. Running my eyes down the list of bug fixes I note a number of fixes in this area so lets see what this one does. They also report more performance and faster rendering. You can be the judge of that.
Phew! That's what a blogger is thinking this morning as the Delaware Supreme court upholds his anonymity as he blogs about an elected councillor. It's fair to say the blog probably wasn't bestowing the great public work Patrick Cahill was providing in the town of Smyrna. At any rate, this is a great piece of news the world of personal opinion is once again set free. Although, it sill amazes me how stupid these people are. Don't they realise that if they were to keep stum then the matter would be lost in the 1's and 0's of the internet. But oh no, better to make a big song and dance and be the one that shows them they can't be tackled and get themselves the wrong sort of world publicity. Go Patrick Cahill - you are truly an inspiration.
