Many, many things. Some people care about one, others about another

What would you buy if you choose between Linux, 90 seconds, Vista, 
60 seconds, Syllable, 6 seconds?
Graham

DOS 2 seconds
Kaj

If Linux would have had our functionality in the first decade or 
so, people would have been delighted with what you can do with it
So you still buy DOS these days? That's what I mean: different strokes 
for different folks :-)

for me, I need a scriptable browser
Kaj

[842]
The reason that I'm always reluctant to answer this question is that 
everyone wants to hear something else
Graham

[843x3]
eg. chickenfoot in Firefox
printing .. eg ghostscript
and Rebol of course
Kaj

Events for our events system are being added to our browser. Never 
had that question yet :-)
Ghostscript: check

I want to hear that Syllable support low-latency audio ;)
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[849x2]
REBOL: in the works
ORCA: check
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[851]
what is the state of orca?  still in development?
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[852x2]
Lower latency than Linux: check (not perfect yet)
We have a new audio framework in userspace, but our scheduler still 
needs to be improved
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[854]
postgresql or mysql also pretty much required
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[855x2]
ORCA is dormant, but in use, so development will wake up again one 
day
No bigger databases yet. Someone tried PostreSQL and we ran into 
a porting snag for the moment being
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[857x2]
Anyone porting Firefox?
the thing is ... the browser is becoming the dominant platform now
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[859x2]
Been tried, but too difficult for the moment being. It's humongous
We need to do this step by step
Rebolek

Kaj that's great to hear about audio. I'm going to check Syllable 
again once my new GFX card arives (it's not working my my old one).
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[862x2]
But we have an announcement in that direction, too :-)
Still not working with your card?
Graham

[864]
is the Syllable LivePC being updated?
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[865]
What was it, again?
Rebolek
15-Jun-2007
[866x2]
it was matrox millenium 2mb, I'm probably the last one still using 
it ;)
but I should have a new one next week
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[868]
The LivePC, forgot about that one already. It's contributed, so I 
guess not. We are releasing a VMWare image ourselves, now, though
Graham

[869]
Is javascript fully supported in the browser?
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[870x3]
As far as I know, yes
But, announcement next week :-)
(There are always snags with parts of browser functionality)
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[873x2]
no antivirus software?
clam AV?
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[875]
We don't have viruses :-)
Pekr
15-Jun-2007
[876]
KHTML browser should be easier to port.
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[877]
Such as Linux anti-virus would probably not be hard to port
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[878]
No, you may not have viruses, but you also don't want to send attachments 
that do ...
Pekr

I wonder about your comment - REBOL in the works, Orca (check). What 
do you mean by that? Isn't Orca the only Rebol awailable to you?
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[880]
Our browser has been based on KHTML for six or seven years - years 
before Apple did it
Graham

wait for next week
LOL

Graham - it surely can't come with everything from the very beginning 
:-)
