Graham 15-Jun-2007 [834] | but can't do much yet ... |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [835] | Many, many things. Some people care about one, others about another |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [836] | USP - boots in 3 sec woudl be better :-) |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [837] | What would you buy if you choose between Linux, 90 seconds, Vista, 60 seconds, Syllable, 6 seconds? |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [838] | DOS 2 seconds |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [839x2] | 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 :-) | |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [841] | for me, I need a scriptable browser |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [842] | The reason that I'm always reluctant to answer this question is that everyone wants to hear something else |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [843x3] | eg. chickenfoot in Firefox |
printing .. eg ghostscript | |
and Rebol of course | |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [846x2] | Events for our events system are being added to our browser. Never had that question yet :-) |
Ghostscript: check | |
Rebolek 15-Jun-2007 [848] | 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 15-Jun-2007 [861] | 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 15-Jun-2007 [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 15-Jun-2007 [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 15-Jun-2007 [879] | 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 15-Jun-2007 [881x2] | wait for next week |
LOL | |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [883] | Graham - it surely can't come with everything from the very beginning :-) |
