IE7 For XP Beta 2: Has Firefox Met Its Match?

Next year at this time, if you find yourself using and liking Internet Explorer 7, thank the volunteers at the Mozilla project.

European nations met yesterday to decide how to carve up ¤10-billion ($16-billion) of spending needed to maintain the region's activities in space and tackle new security initiatives amid rising pressure on budgets. Science ministers from the 18 members of the European Space Agency and Canada meet every three years to agree on funds for the agency, which is beefing up ambitions in exploration to catch up with attention-grabbing initiatives from China and India. The agency's ¤10.4-billion funding request comes in the midst of a financial crisis and fears of recession, but is likely to be almost entirely approved by politicians, officials said. "Ministers were very positive," ESA director-general Jean-Jacques Dordain told a news conference after the first of day of talks.
