The tab issue has been solved, thanks @roytam1! The latest New Moon 28 is still slower than the 0516 release, but I found out that the problem is a lot smaller with less tabs. So I uploaded the latest builds to the mirror! :) Do you have a plan to update the other builds like f.e. Retrozilla/RZ browser to version 2.3? ------------------------------------------- The mirror of latest ArcticFox 44, BNavigator 0.9, Firefox 28/45ESR, IceApe 52, IceDove 52, K-Meleon 1.5.x/74/76, MailNews 52, New Moon 26.5/27/28, RetroZilla, RZ browser and Serpent 52/55 builds by @roytam1 has been updated -> soggi.org - tools. changelog (since last such post in 2023): - added latest ArcticFox 44 20240330 build - added latest BNavigator 0.9 20260613 build - added latest Firefox 45ESR 20241221 builds - added latest IceApe 52 20260613 build - added latest IceDove 52 20260613 build - added latest K-Meleon 1.5.4 20240601 build - added latest K-Meleon 74 20241221 build - added latest K-Meleon 76 20241221 build - added latest MailNews 52 20260613 build - added latest New Moon 26.5 20241221 build - added latest New Moon 27 20241221 builds - added latest New Moon 28 20260613 builds - added latest RetroZilla 20241221 build - added latest RZ browser 20241221 build - added latest Serpent 52 20260613 builds - added latest Serpent 55 20260613 builds To don't lose track of things I want to update too someday... todo: - add various flash player versions - add FlashFix for WinXP - add VLC 2.2.8 (WinXP non-SSE2) done! - add polyfill addons Kind regards soggi

Thx @roytam1, so it possibly will never be solved? kind regards soggi

Hey roytam1, is it possible to make New Moon 28 work better and add the grey border of the tabs again? Here are screenshots of the 0516 and 0606 release of New Moon 28 (32-bit/SSE2) together with task manager and all 9 visible tabs (PCGamingWiki to EPoX EP-7KXA) loaded after exactly 5:00 minutes, nothing other has been changed except starting NM28. As you can see the 0516 release took 2:59 minutes and the 0606 release took 3:59 minutes CPU time (33 % more) on a dual core in those 5:00. kind regards soggi

What do you mean by "defaults to skinned GUI which froze VLC"? Sorry, English is not my native language. And what about versions 0.8.6e/f/g/h? kind regards soggi

I don't have a computer running NT 4.0, so I can't confirm it myself. Can't remember were I got the information from that 1.0.5 is the last version for NT 4.0. Did a quick search and found this post that also confirms 1.0.5 doesn't run correctly -> Resurrecting NT4 in 2016. I guess you also tried 0.8.6i and it didn't work!? I will change the download on my website then... kind regards soggi

VLC 1.0.5 should be the latest version for Windows NT 4.0, available from my tools section -> https://soggi.org/misc/tools.htm. You may find other last versions of some tools there (f.e Avira UnErase 1.4, CloneSpy 2.63, DirectX Media 6.0, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.22pre, K-Meleon 1.5.4 or RetroZilla 2.2/2.3). Please note: The latest version for Windows NT 4.0 is not always denoted as "WinNT4" version, sometimes the latest Win9x version etc. could be the latest NT4 version. kind regards soggi

I already posted this on VOGONS and now I will post it here to tell you... So, this (https://soggi.org/drivers/broadcom.htm) is a page of my website as some of you might know... You had the wrong guess on what the description with the product names (in blue) tells you. It just says that the products belong to the "NetXtreme" family and drivers for them can be downloaded below. It doesn't mean that the drivers for a specific OS support all the products! Maybe one day (very far in the future) I'll find a way to make this more clear. The Windows NT 4.0 driver is dated 2008/05/23, so it can be expected that any later product possibly won't be supported. kind regards soggi

Oh yes..."My Attachments" from the user menu on the top left tells me: "You have used 1.28 MB of your 1.95 MB attachment limit." - 1.95 MB is just enough for two hands full of PNGs. kind regards soggi

Hey... Sorry, that I wasn't here for some ~3 years but mostly always put the new releases to my tools page (https://soggi.org/misc/tools.htm) as a mirror. The last two releases didn't made it to my page since they are both much slower than the 0516 release and (a minor thing) the tabs don't have the grey border any more. Here are screenshots of the 0516 and 0530 release of New Moon 28 (32-bit/SSE2) together with task manager and Blank / MSFN / WayBack Machine tabs loaded after exactly 4:00 minutes, nothing other has been changed except starting NM28. As you can see the 0516 release took 2:23 minutes and the 0530 release took 3:15 minutes CPU time on a dual core in those 4:00. Edit: Screenshots removed, see this post for the next screenshots! kind regards soggi

I'm on the side of natural sciences - but also with some interest for human sciences, I don't support any kind of war between the two of them (the only exception is business studies / BWL ). As you may know notations in natural sciences are mainly based on Greek or Latin and in my opinion it's not a bad idea, else this would have been replaced decades ago. English and German are within the same language family (West Germanic languages) and therefor they are very near and it's really easy to adopt words and phrases. Both languages have many words with the same origin and you can often guess the meaning of a word you don't know yet. There are more similarities then with Romance languages. And yes, both took a lot of words and stuff from Latin and Greek because ancient Greece and the Roman Empire are the basis of today's Western world (including moral values and imperialism - two sides of the same coin). The world is a complex place and the more we interact globally, the more the (living) languages will change. Remind, there are also German words in English like kindergarten (not "children garden"), iceberg (not "ice mountain"), rucksack, Blitzkrieg (Metallica...) or Dollar (from German "Taler" -> Czech/Slovak/Slovenian "Tolar", see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar#Etymology, BTW I'm also very interested in numismatics [including ancient Roman coins]). While speaking of coins... Did you know, it was common to write "IIII" instead of "IV" on coins in medieval times? Somewhere I read US English is just a collection of spelling mistakes*. Remind, the USA aren't "god's own country" - they were built up by people from some/many European countries centuries ago. It's mainly English, but mixed up with other languages, so where's the problem when things bounce back to Europe? *finally retrieved and quoted from https://www.webmasterworld.com/google/3945052.htm (great forums! ): BTW in every message board (especially English speaking) you can abbreviate "by the way" with "BTW". There are several reasons to abbreviate, f.e. back then in the early days of the Internet (especially pre-WWW) memory, space and time were a scarce resource and made it into what we call "Internet slang" today. Oh..."BTW" reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnfyjwChuNU (Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way, great band from the USA). kind regards soggi

Oh yes, same here... Maaahhh...school...we aren't at school here. I think at school it's the same in UK or USA. This wasn't extreme, it was (and is) correct to not use abbreviations in continuous text which will be handed to a teacher. The debates about Anglicisms are pointless - where are the debates about Latinisms, Grecisms, Gallizisms or Hispanisms? Language of living people is a living, developing thing, else you ride a dead horse with dead people (Latin is the most famous example). The most people who are agitating against *isms (especially Anglicisms) are using *isms day by day themselves and name words/phrases *isms which aren't. Nevertheless it's important - I think - to cherish/cultivate a language (and dialect) - there are wonderful German (dialect) words and phrases which are seldomly used, for example. No kidding, there were at least two accs just reacting to "PH". kind regards soggi

BTW this wasn't targeting you as you are known to read/post here (seldomly post, but you are). kind regards soggi

Did you notice? Just write "PH" and some members who never wrote in this thread leave a message... BTW Porn is still on of the the things which takes most internet traffic, no matter how prudish societies are... BTW I would really appreciate it, if the understanding of "pH" would increase - chemistry is a great and important subject. I had some semesters while studying chemical engineering back then. I wouldn't say "frowned upon"...maybe uncommon is more precise!? Sometimes I also abbreviate in German, especially when I'm writing and not talking - but yes, it's more common in English. Hell start's freezing? A cooperation would be great...but I don't believe until hell is frozen up! kind regards soggi

Theoretically it could also be "PistonHeads" (article 1 under "Arts and media") but none of the others as they don't make any sense in connection with UXP browsers. Hmmmmm... kind regards soggi

This is the wrong link as it points to the meaning of "pH" in chemistry... Here is the right one -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_(disambiguation). @AstroSkipper under "Arts and media" -> article 3. kind regards soggi
