No Body uses them. No body. not IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Corel.. ect... no body uses them. I don't know any corporation who uses LXRAD, PerlQt, ect... the fact that I never heard of those names proves that no body uses them.
Har har. With sub-par English you expect me to believe that you are personally acquainted with the development preferences of every American progammer? Sorry to burst your bubble, but the fact that you have "never heard of them" is evidence of your ignorance, not that they are unused. I will say that it's pretty blatantly obvious Microsoft doesn't use them, because, *gasp*, Microsoft runs Windows! And this is somehow evidence against the acceptance of Linux RAD tools?

there is no "new" in browser technologies. Name one? Firefox has not added anything new that hasn't been implemented by others.
Live bookmarks. Name one other browser that has implemented live bookmarks.

Tab browser isn't a significant advancement. It's a simple programming technique.
And the wheel wasn't a significant advancement, it was just simple transportation technique.

The significance of an advancement is measured by the effect it has, not how difficult it is to implement.

firefox will block majority of pop ups but some pop ups will escape the popup block features in firefox. believe me, i wanted firefox to block them but it didn't. I was really disappointed. I use firefox but not as much anymore since it doesn't block all the popup features.
I have never once had a popup in Firefox that I did not specifically request to open.

i certainly don't go to drudgereport.com with it.
Well, then you're just silly. In fact, I'm inclined to say you are making it up. How silly is it to say that you "don't go to drudgereport.com" with it because of a popup? Are popups really that scary?
In case you haven't noticed, everyone else in this thread who uses Firefox has no problem with it blocking popups @ drudge.

I have never once had a popup in Firefox that I did not specifically request to open.

Granted, 'ideablitz' sounds like he works for one of Microsoft's overseas sales divisions, but Firefox is a little susceptible to popups. It does stop the popup on Drudge and most others, but a few slip through.

Actually, the killer browser would be Opera, if only they could break themselves of the habit of offsetting one feature that doesn't work by introducing another feature that also doesn't work.

I will say that it's pretty blatantly obvious Microsoft doesn't use them, because, *gasp*, Microsoft runs Windows! And this is somehow evidence against the acceptance of Linux RAD tools? No company uses Linux RAD, and Kylix is a commercial failure since no company uses the tool. Therefore, it isn't accepted by large body. Therefore, by I.H. Linux RAD tool isn't viable. How can a popular Delphi not accepted by the Linux crowd. Delphi is a such a good development tool compare to what's out there yet it is not being accepted and widely deployed by the prominent corporations. Yes, if no body hears about a tool, it's an evidence against the acceptance. Marketing 1301. Look it up.

Have you heard of RXRAD, PerlQT, what the hell.. have you heard of RXexR, REXI, IMER, ESSE, DTDS, DTPS, WIDK, AODK, WODL, ALLS, DKSL, BSND, EMSNNAMN... *gasp*, of course you haven't. Linux does not run them or may run them but Linux is so obscure that nobody knows whether these exists.. These Acronyms are like the band names.

I wouldn't call Live bookmark as technology? It's a different way of doing a specific task. It's nothing new. That's like saying the right click menu popup is a new technology. downright silly.

Tab Browser isn't significant. Tab isn't a wheel, you fool. You must be a some pajama computer user. probably a blue state fool. Tab Control is a Window panel with the button on the top where it hides the panels as the button is clicked. It's no brainer. I don't know why Microsot hasn't implemented yet but I suspect that Microsoft doesn't like MDI and the reason is self evident in the way Microsoft Office isn't MDI. that's just them. And that's fine with me and a lot of others. Again, having TabControl isn't like a developing a wheel.

There are popups that won't shut down, you fool. I had those, i end up having to shut the browser process down. This just proves that you are a complete fool.

brower loads up Java.applet, the script lauches the event of applet, then it perpentually loads one after another. soon, you no longer has control over your browser. Firefox filters less than IE. It's just a fact. IE, you have higher degree of control.
