LXRAD, ect...?
No Body uses them. No body. not IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Corel.. ect... no body uses them. I don't know any corporation who uses LXRAD, PerlQt, ect... the fact that I never heard of those names proves that no body uses them.

Borland Kylix is the biggest and best implementation of RAD but no body uses it either. The "BORLAND" made a RAD tool and no body uses it.

Tab browser isn't a significant advancement. It's a simple programming technique. all you do is add Tab control and TabControl1.Add(param). Since Windows 3.11 days. Microsoft doesn't like MDI and that might be the reason why there is not TabControls.

there is no "new" in browser technologies. Name one? Firefox has not added anything new that hasn't been implemented by others.

firefox will block majority of pop ups but some pop ups will escape the popup block features in firefox. believe me, i wanted firefox to block them but it didn't. I was really disappointed. I use firefox but not as much anymore since it doesn't block all the popup features. i certainly don't go to drudgereport.com with it.

Har har. With sub-par English you expect me to believe that you are personally acquainted with the development preferences of every American progammer? Sorry to burst your bubble, but the fact that you have "never heard of them" is evidence of your ignorance, not that they are unused. I will say that it's pretty blatantly obvious Microsoft doesn't use them, because, *gasp*, Microsoft runs Windows! And this is somehow evidence against the acceptance of Linux RAD tools?

Live bookmarks. Name one other browser that has implemented live bookmarks.

Tab browser isn't a significant advancement. It's a simple programming technique.
And the wheel wasn't a significant advancement, it was just simple transportation technique.

The significance of an advancement is measured by the effect it has, not how difficult it is to implement.

I have never once had a popup in Firefox that I did not specifically request to open.

i certainly don't go to drudgereport.com with it.
Well, then you're just silly. In fact, I'm inclined to say you are making it up. How silly is it to say that you "don't go to drudgereport.com" with it because of a popup? Are popups really that scary?
In case you haven't noticed, everyone else in this thread who uses Firefox has no problem with it blocking popups @ drudge.

That brings up a good question. I wonder what IBM used to develop its hundreds of thousands of lines of Linux code.
