  Hey, Guts, W.R.T. the 'Topic for #SeaMonkey' header .... Is it possible to include some spacing between "Release: 2.53.20" and "Beta: 2.53.21b1"
• 12:17
  Maniel
  Because I was reading it as "Release: 2.53.20 Beta" and then trying to work out what the "2.53.21b!" notice was about.
• 12:17
  Maniel
  Maybe half a dozen spaces or something. ...."Release: 2.53.20" "Beta: 2.53.21b1"
• 12:18
  frg_Away
  better?
• 12:20
  Maniel
  Not noticing any difference, FRG. Maybe if I log off and then log back on.
• 12:24

  Ah!! The little vertical linesWould it be possible to have the "Release: 2.53.20" then the link to the releases site "seamonkey-project.org/releases" then the "Beta: 2.53.21b1" and a link to its D/L site??
• 12:25

  I removed one line becuae one link for both. If I add another link the header would take too much space imho. IanN an decide later
• 12:26
  Maniel
  Then, logically, the "SeaMonkey Nightly 2.53 b1pre archive" followed by its D/L site "archive.seamonkey-project.org/nightly "

  frg: In the Header, what does the "c-c (OPEN ) , c-253 (APPROVAL ONLY)" mean??
• 12:33
  Maniel
  frg: Alternatively, can the "Release 2.53.20' etc be clickable links like I might see on a web page??
• 12:33
  frg_Away
  c-c is comm central and 253 is the 253 repo. Only info for patch submission via bugzilla. 2453 needs approval.

  Sorry to be a Pest!! ;-(

  I really let IanN decide later. Personally I woudl cut it and just pot the versions and a link to the homepage to it.

  OK, here is a very atypical case: tealca.com/calculo-de-tarifas

  there is some CSS fail with a menu on top, and the form gives all sorts of weird JS errors (mostly undefined stuff), but it TRIES to work
• 15:04
  tomman
  ...but on FF128ESR, while the site renders fine, the form refuses to work AT ALL, giving another bunch of undefined JS errors!

  guess I won't be shipping anything with those folks, because it smells they only tested their fancy new calculator on Chromovision only...
• 15:05
  tomman
  in any case this is a first: a site that breaks even more on recent FF than on SM

  njsg
  eh, his reports of how broken some Apple things are at least keep me up to date on that
• 22:33
  njsg
  but, honestly, it isn't like I expect anything well designed to come from the house of "buttons are bad mmkay"
• 22:33
  njsg
  (Along with "consistency is bad")
• 22:34
  njsg
  I wonder how much of bad design in "smartphones" can be traced back to Steve Jobs.

  nsITobin: waitaminute check the newest apple one...

  If I weren't so exhausted, I'd be laughing.
• 22:49
  njsg
  although, to be serious, that could be a huge problem, if they didn't take into account the "humans are over this" aspect of stairs and steps and didn't include safety in the design...

  » njsg wonders what would an Apple Schaku look like

  "The units separate automagically whenever we play music", perhaps (I think this has actually happened in Australia, some grounding problem)

  Sompi: you can't have 32bit modern linux and $majorDistros won't let you have older style linux
• 23:36
  nsITobin
  if someone wants to rebuild my soon to exist rpm-based distro for 32bit they will be able to
• 23:36
  nsITobin
  i got rpm and rpmbuild working
• 23:38
  nsITobin
  if successful.. no WHEN successful it will be the first non-rh decended distro since Suse to be rpm-based.. Every distro that uses RPM other than suse is decended from Redhat.. including the mandrakes

  This is not just about 32-bit vs. 64-bit x86 systems, this is about technological diversity
• 23:39
  nsITobin
  what technological diversity
• 23:39
  Sompi
  There are also other computing platforms than IBM PC compatibles
• 23:39
  nsITobin
  what arm?
• 23:40
  nsITobin
  all the commerically failed architecures and riscv of course
• 23:45
  Sompi
  Everything that exists out there. And also the pointer size, which is significant when the system is low on memory.
• 23:46
  Sompi
  8 gigabytes of memory on the x86 platform is just not enough to justify installing a 64-bit Linux distribution, not at least without 32-bit compatibility libraries
