You have clearly missed the point you moron. Most people always rely on the fact that someone else would have reviewed the code, and that they should be trusted, very few do it themselves.
Question is spelled with one "i" by the way, in case you missed that in school today.
I have the source code for Chrome (Chromium) and I can study it, make sure it's safe, or change whatever I want. Also, I know the community has reviewed it, and the company is not trying to hid anything behind a binary
How do you know the community has reviewed it? Have you actually studied it yourself? Personally, I'd be too lazy to do so, but then again, so would be many others.
Are you really shocked that Windows has a default browser? Same as every other OS? And they all take you to some default web page? And it has a default behaviour? And most of all, are you shocked about the fact that its default action for a mistyped URL is taking you to their website?
Lets see. Chrome and Mozilla by default take you to Google. (Mozilla takes you to their google formatted page). How dare they!!??!! Next thing you'll tell me that when you mistype something in Chrome, it takes you to a google search engine?
half of the video streaming sites I use (legitimate, obviously) break with "AMAGAD UR OS IZ NOT ZUPPRORTREAD." messages
Which, of course, are all thanks to Microsoft's monopoly, which you're supporting by still using Windows. Not trying to cause trouble, but there's no point complaining about a problem if you're still part of the problem.
And you are supporting terrorism, animal abuse, and global warming by using whatever the hell you are using.. Mac is it?
Yes, however with most RC toys, the person using it is usually in "total" control (unless it runs out of batteries/goes out of range) and it either plummets to the ground, or keeps flying into a really tall tree... It sounds like the OP is trying to build a set and forget plane, and there may be a few issues with that.. Don't know, just my 2c worth..
Its MIT - even the most mundane things sound exciting to the rest of the world. Just throw in a few more catch phrases - SPI interface, sigma delta ADC, and its already really really exciting!
I was raised on a Microsoft desktop. Well, on a Microsoft command line to start off with. I've been going back and forth between various flavors of Linux and Windows for years. First one I tried was Mandrake. I simply go back to Windows because it lets me play the latest games. I've been keeping up with Ubuntu releases and I even had a paid account for Transgaming. Transgaming experiences weren't the best. Poor fps, even on pretty good hardware at the time.
But certain things that you just take for granted in a Windows world take a lot of effort in Linux. Getting my wireless card in the laptop to work, installing Nvidia drivers, getting my work (windows mobile) device to sync, plus using software that I need for work which have no Linux versions available are just examples of things that pull me back to Windows.
Year of the Linux desktop will be different for everyone. Once I'm able to seamlessly switch without requiring too much effort, it'll be the year of the linux desktop for me. It may be 2009, it may be 2015, who knows. Till then, Windows is filling a gap that Linux cannot.
I find it works well, unless I want to type a message in a different language. Then it really goes bad. But, I've got a Nokia, and it works great. once you make it learn a few words by spelling them yourself (usually suburb names) its great. If you wanna use slang, hit the hash key a few times, and it takes it off T9, so you can free type.
But when typing a normal SMS, T9 predictive input makes it so much easier for me.
That is why they are great in torches, head lamps, and backlights - because you don't need complex optics to focus the light. White LEDs are still quite expensive though, so bulb made out of it would be a lot more expensive than a standard one.
My argument is broken from both angles of attack? Since when is posting my opinion an attack? Sounds like you have deep issues. Bad parenting? Your mother was too busy with her clients to breastfeed you?
No, they weren't. Funny that. If I do get any, I'll be sure to report the color. Though, it makes me wonder what kinda crappy hardware people run it on in order to get problems they get. People are happy to get new operating systems yet they aren't prepared to upgrade their hardware. (yet, in some cases getting software licences is more expensive than the entire computer itself).
Vista is hated? By.. who? The linux lovin' folk? Yes, you are right. But not many others. Vista is more stable than XP, looks pretty (A $1000 AUD machine (including 22" monitor) will run it great). My dad uses it, and finds it a lot easier to use than XP. He also never turns his machine off, and has never asked me for help with his computer (unlike when he was using XP). A few friends of mine are in IT, one does mostly MS stuff, the other does mostly linux stuff. Both use.. Vista on their home machines.
Slashdot Mirror
See, C++ dominates Objective-C by more than a factor of five. You can take that to the bank. You're welcome.
I don't think the bank would accept it. Your unscientific poll doesn't include C++... just C and Objective C.
Android is the new Windows...
Not FUD if its true.
Its not fairness, its $$$. They don't care as long as they keep shoving ads down your throat.
Yeah, it did, see I actually had things to do, I don't sit in my mamma's basement trolling slashdot like you seem to.
Go back to class before I call your principal.

You have some serious mental issues.
Are you really shocked that Windows has a default browser? Same as every other OS? And they all take you to some default web page? And it has a default behaviour? And most of all, are you shocked about the fact that its default action for a mistyped URL is taking you to their website?

This doesn't exactly solve your problem, but do you need to take a PC to school? What about pen and paper? That is how we did it.

I certainly do. And I've never had problems getting the cash back.
Jeez, some formatting would be nice...

Point is, how does that business model pay the bills? The fruit and veg shop wants money, not kind words.
Does it matter? Whether someone paid for it or not, they want to use it, regardless of the OS.
Halo is sexually explicit? what did I miss when I played it?
Try Arthur's pizza too. Bondi Junction, close to the train station.

Any info to back up that claim?
