Yup, they are different measurents Cheers, Ryan Jones

Good site, thanks for sharing it with it Chemfreak Unfortunatly another site that will not ship outside the US again, will just have too order some things through my friend again Cheers, Ryan Jones

I'd agree with you, most of the time just basic mathematics and algebra are all you'll need unless your doing somethign specialist then the more advanced stuff may be required. Programming languages tend to handle all the maths themselves Cheers, Ryan Jones

EXACTLY! That is the context in which it is used so you just defeted your own argument then? I don't recall anyone every saying "Firefox is 100% secure" - Firefox is secure compared with IE and so its a vaid statement. Ryan Jones
-
True but that does not stop us using the words more or less does it? When its defined as secure it is being defined as being relative too another browser, in most cases Internet Exploiter, and therfor is acceptible right? Cheers, Ryan Jones
-
It is secure in that it is FAR mre secure than IE and thats the context in which its used and so it IS correct for that. Ryan Jones
-
How can you prove there are? There have been none confirmed because no-one has reported them - thats how they find that out. And we are stating that Firefox is more secure and less vulnerable than IE is - there is no denying it. Ryan Jones

If this what you are looking for? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Information can be presented in one way or another' date=' the sources mean nothing. There are true sources out there. The one about Firefox being not more secure - WHAT THE HELL? they showed the firefox exploits yes it has some but did they bother too show the IE ones? I think not. http://secunia.com/product/11/ One down. One more thing, look for alternate sources as they guy shows ONE side of the argument and the suthor of the artcile I posted is not bias, his work will be used in a number of books in the future, a few about web development and a few about security issues. Using reliable sources and showing botrh sides fair enough, that guy shows thing too pick at FIrefox, nothing bad asbout IE in there and thats no co-incidence, in the link I posted do you see anyhting saying Firefox is perfect because thats basically what the guy on that artcile is trying too say. There is no point debating it the article is one sided and bias. The new Fx 1.5 version is much faster than it was and with an enhancemen that does too it what IE has done automatically, preloading, it if faster than IE. Once again, look for a non-bais article and one that covers both sides of the argument, no-one ever said Firefox was perfect but Firefox is shure as hell a lot better than IE. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Half the stuff in that article is a load of crap. If your looking for a more ojbective view then have a look at the better one: http://nanobox.chipx86.com/blog/2005/12/re-firefox-myths.php ^ That site is a brilliant resource and the guy who writes its content is a devoted developer People should really make more notice - trusing sources like that one could cause people more problems than are nessisary. I want to pick at a few of these in any case: I love the Firefox is a Solution to Spyware one, since I have been suing Firefox not one infestation of adware, I use the same sites, smae software coincidence? Myth - "Firefox was the first Web Browser to offer Tabbed Browsing" No-one ever said it was :S Myth - "Firefox is faster than Internet Explorer" Again, I've never heared it was even though it almost is. There are 2 reasons for this, 1) Fx is NOT intergrated into Windows like IE is so its less susspetible too DoS attacks. 2) Fx uses a system that, althougha little slower than hopes, provides the ability too have a full extension system - well work the delay I think. Myth - "Firefox is a Secure Web Browser" No-one ever said Firefox was 100% secure as its obvious that nothing can be but its far, far better than IE for many reasons that have been brought up in previous topics. Thats the end of my rant but read the other article if you really are objective and don't want to belive all that crap in the posted article Cheers, Ryan Jones

As Ilja has already said it sbecause the wavelengths of light the ions absorb varies, even the colourless ones absorb light but its notmally somewhere in the infrared spectrum Have a look on Wikipedia or Google for more informaiton on this subject Cheers, Ryan Jones

Here are some more that may help you: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ http://www.purplemath.com/ http://www.dansmath.com/ http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/ I have more but those are the more general ones I have Cheers & Good luck, Ryan Jones

That exactly the point, its toxic too those nasty bacteria too but not so much too us in a very diluted solution Amazing some of the uses for highly toxic and explosive materials, Cyanide is used to extract gold, Sodium Azide is used in air bags, the Armstrong mix is used in toy caps ...

Contemplating using Opera rather than Firefox
RyanJ replied to Cap'n Refsmmat's topic in Computer Science
It really makes no difference, as long as your not using IE that is. As long as the browser supports web standards people have no porblems with it Opera, Firefox and a few others fit this so are all great in their own ways Cheers, Ryan Jones -
Like it' date=' thats an important one. Added too the list. Interesting... I'll see what I can come up with http://www.allscience.spiralmindsinc.com/Testing/Shoutbox/Admin/index.php Its just the basics, its a few hours work Here are a few other features I'm thinking of.... RSS feed for posts. Enable / Disable UBBC codes and smilies, totally or individually. Wildcard IP bans. Admin can set a time a certain 'shout' will appear like an announcement. Comments anyone?
