  1. WHEN NECESSITY DICTATES A DESIGN, THE PRODUCT LASTS FOREVER. Eight (8) years later AND I started linear/multiple browsing in NotJustBrowsing® (2005-2006) {most recently "NotJustBrowsing Desktop" (2015)} and I hope my new technique will supersede linear browsing. Nothing lasts forever.
  2. I did blame myself for not investigating the vendor properly because I never come across such situation before. Obviously in my case paypal is a facilitator with the vendor in dodging customers. After my dispute submition paypal knows what is wrong in the product, they should stop co-operating with that client.What I am saying is that Paypal's "dispute resolution" is a fake and gives wrong expression that Paypal helps in dispute resolution.It is these kind of things that demage internet sales growth and industry as a whole.
  3. Real experience: There was a software that I tried and its help was disabled until you buy it. I bought it and paid using paypal. As soon as I installed it and looked for Help, I found it in another language (other than english). I asked the author to refund my money and I don't want his software. The author refused to refund and told me to have as much help from him as much possible (very kind he was). I tried to use paypal's "dispute resolution" and they refused by saying that it is a matter of software. Although you may never have seen a software in more than one language, paypal was useless.So, in case money is coming to you, paypal is good, the flow of money in other way is your risk (in my experience).
  4. Microsoft is a difficult nut to crack. Above mentioned is from http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htmMicrosoft changed everything including its web browser interface to kill the competition. MS changed its base of operating system to .NET (which is more like Java), re-defined its C++ and now abondoning it at all. In a year or two, we will see all Win32 things disappearing and that will hit very hard to all those leaning on Microsoft technology (including Gecko and the whole of Mozilla's Embedding API).So, practically Gecko ActiveX is usable for at the most two years from now. Keeping Gecko forward means re-writing it using latest .NET base and that may kill IE for good.
  5. This is one of my aims to initiate directness between parties of all kind. After all I was here to listen to what people say and I will act upon what I heard. I also found 39%, 26% and 46% (2005, 2006, 2007) of my visitors using Mozilla , which I should not ignore.What you are saying is within the design of my browser, not in its entirety though but it will be sufficient to pressurise all parties. Thank you for your loud and clear opinion, I hope the resulting product will be pleasent for all.This is one reason that I wonder arround in public and not for product advertisement.Now to show you that everything is not rossy, I am quoting Gecko ActiveX component's lack of implementation. I hope that you will pressurise other party to be active as well. Notice the amount of "System::NotImplementedException".
  6. If you want to keep track of what you have learnt in an organized manner, notes with each page. Have a look at NotJustBrowsing (dot com), it is designed for this purpose. You can save your links in the form of a book. If you may wish to ask any question from me, you are welcome.
  7. To tackle the companies like Microsoft, you should think smarter. Say, If in my software's next version I have two engines (Gecko, IE). And you people who are in terrible trouble, start writing web pages that are suitable for both browsers but can be seen best in the browser which support "Standards" (say Gecko). When people will see good looking pages in one and bad looking in another, they will use the one that gives them best result.Next thing "you people (the community in trouble)" can do is to raise the amount of money that you charge per page for making a web page compliant with (say IE). Because, it takes much more effort of yours.Pray that when Firefox become dominent, it may not play the same dirty game as the current dominent is playing.
  8. What I mean is that Gecko Engine in the form of ActiveX component, so I can embed it in my application. I have Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.7.12 downloaded from http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm which is more than a year old.If that version is OK for you guys, to be used in my next version? Or let me know if you know a relatively new version of it.
  9. I am working on providing multiple engines to choose from for each page, Can you please provide a link for Geck 1.8.1.2 ActiveX ?I like Firefox too but the question is that can I embed Gecko successfully in my application without compromising its advanced functionalities? If I am lucky, you will see both engines in next version.Don't give up, disagreements are part of life too. Now I know how much trouble "you people" are in, I will try to ease some of it in next version of my software, if I succeeded in embedding Gecko (here I am not certain).
  10. "... fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves"Does "are alwayws" in Russell's quote mean anything ?
  11. Being innovative is the word that I used for myself, "fanatic" and "thinking out side the box" are accusations that you are spreading of your own initiative.
  12. If IE is causing any problem for your work then you should think of some ways to overcome this problem and make your life easier. Is it appropriate to shout at everybody who is using IE engine for one reason or another?I have written a million lines or so to use IE engine for .NET 1 and Microsoft changed its WebBrowser model in .NET 2. Am I shouting at Microsoft that I re-written a million lines again with some extra functionality and improved outlook of my software?No. I initially designed this software to cope with such drastic changes by Microsoft. These things people learn from each other and not start bullying just because of some hidden agenda.In a previous post, I pointed out that here is a useful tool "The Web Tailor" in my browser that you (third person) should look into, using it might save you some time and effort when you are dealing with IE. What answer Have I got?
  13. You should try to remain within the boundaries of decent language and stop accusations. Are you trying to be better intellectual than Bertrand Russell? There is no harm in it though.
  14. Only name "NotJustBrowsing" should have been enough for some people to open up their minds.
  15. What are you going to moderate in a "Browser Discussion" if you are biased towards a browser that has a support from 80% of users? Is the owner of this forum work for Firefox? and he specially appointed you as a moderator because of your loyalty to Firefox?When did I promote IE? I am using IE engine only because it is most widely used (80%) engine available. Do you know when last time Gecko engine was updated for users who wish to integrate it in their applications? (15/12/2005 http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm).Why do you hate a browser that is used by 80%, and your job moves around browsers?Why did you join this discussion if you hate IE? Are you trying to be just a bully? Or are there only two people in this forum and you pretend that there are 6000 or so.
