    Numbers for Apple (all links in german, you can look for data from your corner of the world yourself, I assume):


    The numbers of Linux were pulled out of my hat, but they've been in that area for many years no without significant change, so I assume they're fairly on target.

  3. Looks like a Dell by doctor_no · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Live Picture of the Next Xbox

    The Xbox360 looks a lot like a white version of the Dell Optiplex GX PCs that can be found in office cubicles everywhere.

    You don't know of enough tech sites to claim that "almost every tech site" banded together on something. No one does.
    Considering that sites like Slashdot, Heise Online, Yahoo News, Wired, C|Net News.com, Golem.de, Plastic, Aardvark, New Order, Boing Boing, pssst!, intern.de, Christianity Today, Compulenta, infoAnarchy, ZDNet.de, tech dirt, Network World Fusion, Zataz, The Straight Dope, Exmosis, The Null Device, Bob Crosley's Weblog, The Ideal Rhombus, FACTNet, Sympatico, Google Weblog, Microcontent News, Hypocrites.com, Linux Journal, ONLamp, Userland, Kuro5hin, Drudge Report and Silicon Valley (and most probably more) have mentioned the case, I'd say it's quite a good coverage. Granted, it's not exactly "almost every tech site", and they definitely haven't "banded together" or anything. They just seem to share the same concern about censorship, which isn't that uncommon.

    "Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products N.V." ?!?
    Aren't those guys broke and gone by now? For those who don't know it: it's a Belgian company that promisied speech products already years ago. The founders have been arrested for fraud (see here in german or here in english. I don't think the arrests had to do anything with the technology tough.

    To stay on topic: I still use Netscape 4.76 and the reason is that I like the profiles that are stored *not* as a part of the user configuration but in a separated directory ([ProgramFilesDir]\Netscape\Users). This is very usefull if you have multiple computers and want to be able to use the same profiles all over the network: just share the directory and load your profiles on the central computer (the router in my config).
    I know what you think: hey, but just use a domain server where you store remote user profiles (W2K and NT4 workstations) and voilà, same profile everywhere due to the duplication at login. True, this works...at work....not at home where I do *not* have a dedicated domain server in sitting the cave and that we lay the network cables only when needed. Local browsing can still be done, you just need to add a "Local" netscape profile on the harddisk of each machine, and of you go.

    With Mozilla and Internet Explorer, I cannot use this setup because user preferences are stored as a part of the Windows User profile. Implementing a domain server is not an issue: I do not have an machine lying around to take over this task (can this be done using Linux by the way? Using Samba? Presumably!).
    I'm sure my family will get pissed off if when I tell them: oh, bookmarks will now be local to the machine: you'll have to update your bookmarks on every machine :-(

  6. Still available... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Injunction Against 2600 for DeCSS

    For the interested, DeCSS is still available from a reputable site: ZDnet Germany. Click 'download' on this page.
