Opera 9.25 scored a 46/100 for me, on PCLinuxOS.
Konqueror 3.5.8 crashed all the 3 times I tried to open the test on it.The initial message was that JavaScript was unavailable, after which the score started increasing, and the browser crashed as soon as the count reached to 1/100.
Notice the order of listing -
"Ultimately, there will be P2P-Next clients for the Mac, Windows and GNU/Linux, as well as a dedicated hardware Set Top Box client."
EU is anti-OSS?
"Red Hat and Oracle........ There are always one-offs, you know" {stammers, wipes sweat off forehead}
"Haven't you seem Stallman? He resembles the human predators. This automatically implies that the OSS is a thing of our ancient history and shouldn't be dug up now. You are hurting the balance of nature"
You think :
Wow! This is amazing for gamers!
This will help the disabled!
This is a new breakthrough in technology!
It would bring about a whole new era of gaming.
I think :
Guess what the FBI will use next?
OK, maybe I don't know what the situation is in NZ, but here's how it works in India. We have a ruling political party, and the opposition party (who lose in the elections, and are just next to the ruling party). The members of parliament put forward their suggestions relating to political stuff, and laws too. People of the legislative assembly vote in favour or against it. If it is passed by a majority, it goes to the president for his signature. After signatures from the president, the 'bill' becomes an official 'law'.
What I was suggesting that instead of sending it to the Prez, put it online for voting, and make it a 'law', if a majority votes in favour of it.
Consider the difference in situations. Formation of laws, governing the administration of the country and on the other hand an encyclopedia, a book of reference. Though Wikipedia is the largest read encyclopedia of all time, but it is most criticised for it's dynamic and unreliable nature. Laws cannot be like that. Laws have to be constant, same for everyone, and not open to discussion or question.They can only be modified when a need to do so is felt by a major part of a country. Vandalism on Wikipedia is harmful, here vandalism can be lethal.
A much better way to gather public opinion on the law would be online voting for passing of bills from the legislation. The masses can decide on that better than the President alone.
Opening a wiki for creating laws is insane. It would just invite vandalism, and instead of leading to formation of new laws, it would waste money and manpower involved in maintanence and moderation.
Being in a country like India, where the crime rate is very high, something like this was needed. Most of the criminals get away by bribing officers to destroy evidence. If a DNA test can be conducted within 25 minutes, and that too at the crime scene, it would be wonderful.
In a Ponemon Institute poll of more than 16,000 U.S. IT practitioners, 62% said they had accessed another person's computer without permission, 50% read confidential or sensitive information without a legitimate reason, and 42% said they had knowingly violated their company's privacy, security or IT policies. Does this mean Ballmer knows that Gates watches Lesbian pr0n on his iMac?
Slashdot Mirror
"We're the only console offering digital distribution of entertainment content"
What he really wanted to say-
"We're the only guys who can charge you double the amount that you should be paying for watching a movie at home on your XBox."
And here I was, planning a summer holiday on Mars this year. Guess it'll have to wait.

And what doesn EU have in mind? Educational television through Bittorrent?

Opera users are safe too.

How are you gentlemen? All your privacy is belong to me. You are on way to moral destruction.
What? I always voted for the CowboyNeal options because those options are the most sensible ones.
