Hey, _I_ like Vista. Does give me a BSOD now and then, and I had to use DosBox for a few things, but it makes me happy otherwise. Speedy, good looking, well organized, simple UI, good app support for what I use, and mostly just works.
Funnily, "get over" and "get across" always made sense to me (I'm Bulgarian).
There's the timeline of your life, and a bulge on it, meaning a problem. You need to climb over the bulge to continue, so, "get over".
Conversely, the brains of people are (still) separated by two auditory systems, two speech systems, and an amount of empty space. So, it seems right to say that getting your thoughts across those boundaries is called, well, "get your point across".
You don't actually know what you're talking about do you?
For starters, this would make the XUL overlay extensibility model impossible. The big gain of XUL is being able to control all aspects of behavior and look at runtime, which in Mozilla products manifests as extensions, themes, userChrome.css...
The national debt is now over 11 trillion dollars and there hasn't been a real budget surplus since 1969.
Hi.
I keep hearing about the huge US national debt but I don't understand what it means.
Does it mean Americans are poor?
Does it mean USA owes money to other countries but can't pay them back? If so, why are other countries not at war with the US?
Does it mean officials have stolen tax money for themselves, making the government owe money to the people and business?
Does it affect me? (I'm East European)
Whose fault is it?
Is this all related to the financial crisis?
I feel like I'm the only one not getting this... Thanks in advance!
In my office we use Ubuntu 8.04, 6.10 and 6.04. I can't for the life of me tell you the names of those, and I regularly stumble when looking for packages etc.
And I'm a geek...
A few things. Portability. Even something like Qt only gets you 5 or 6 major platforms. Baroque HTML+JS on the other hand gets you going on anything from BeOS to iPhone. If your app needs flash then this advantage is diminished somewhat.
A working sandbox model. Executables can do anything to your machine. A webapp can do nothing but sit there and wait for your input.
Startup speed. To check my mail on a random pc, i write "gmail.com" and i'm up to speed. Having to fetch&install thunderbird (and then maybe uninstall; this not being my pc) would mean i probably wouldn't bother.

What?
In a development environment, you run something like ProPolice, so your app crashes loudly when a buffer overflows.
Clearview is for production, where the safety of the user is at stake.

not being able to use the site
Er, how are you "not able to use" the site?
Damn. I'm feeding a troll...
Yeah you know what? no. Yeah.
Google's Chrome ads. Pretty damn good too.
I doubt anyone that uses Chrome cares about how it looks.
Speak for yourself. I dig Chrome's speed as much as the next guy, but if it wasn't for the incredibly good UI, I might not have switched...
No, they are hardly cosmetic changes.
(Someone had to call you out)
saying netbook is shorter and more precise than saying small laptop. thats all.
Ugh. If I got a cent everytime people misunderstand rvalues...
The following is valid code.
struct A { A operator++(int) {return A();} A operator+=(int) {return A();} }; int main() { A C; C+++=1; }
"I *used to* X" - "In the past I *was used to* doing X" - "In the past I had the habit of doing X".
Normal users won't dare install any thing called an operating system.
No, they'll just get it with their netbook.

Sure.
The reason is that the Novell-Microsoft deal was discussed in length the month after it took place. Little is left to say.

Great but you forgot to address his point about documentation.
MSDN is a pain to browse but damn is it comprehensive

eh? who said it was separate imgs?
Who the fuck is talking about firefox?
o_O
mplayer doesn't play everything?
Even SuSE, once a cornerstone of KDE's market share, defaults to Gnome now.
Errrrm. It defaults to nothing. Check your facts, will ya??
