What the hell is this? A well structured, informative, and easily accessible statement of reasons why IE8 isn't rubbish? Clearly, you must be new here!
Nobody said IE8 isn't rubish. It's just better than IE6.
That only proves that I know what the names of the tracks are. That's hardly a crime.
Of course. But if the RIAA is deciding who to investigate (and hopefully sue) next, guess who they'll choose—a guy (who seems to be) listening to ten old albums periodically, or a guy with a new album twice a day, usually a few weeks before the album's release.
Of course nothing of this proves anything, but it is a valuable information for RIAA nonetheles.
If an Intel salesperson came to me and said,... "You may only have 20% of your computers at NBC be powered by AMD", I'd tell the salesman to go fuck off.
What if an Intel salesperson came to you and said "If you only have 20% of your computers at NBC powered by AMD, we will sell you all of our processors at 50% the price we sell them to your competitors."?
This must be the first time a comment correcting a previous comment got modded higher than the original comment. Let's see how this comment, which comments on the fact that a comment correcting a previous comment got modded higher than the original comment, fares.
The fact that some people need/want to be registered on 120 social networking sites at once means that something's horribly wrong here.
There should be a single social network that is flexible and open enough so that there's no need for any other one. In fact, there already is such a network. It is called the Internet.
We just need to utilize it the right way. Distributed social networking is the future, not a service that tries (and very probably fails) to manage your identity on 120 different centralized social networking services.
I don't know about other formats Apple uses, but AAC has patent problems, although it is an "open standard" by definition. Still, it's way better than Windows Media, I guess.
Too bad the only e-shop that sells OGGs I know is/was allofmp3.com, which is only legal in Russia, and most people doubt that too.
Uppercase-only text or display messages. Some archaic operating systems still emit these. See also runes, smash case, fold case.
There is a widespread legend (repeated by earlier versions of this entry, though tagged as folklore) that the uppercase-only support of various old character codes and I/O equipment was chosen by a religious person in a position of power at the Teletype Company because supporting both upper and lower cases was too expensive and supporting lower case only would have made it impossible to spell 'God' correctly. Not true; the upper-case interpretation of teleprinter codes was well established by 1870, long before Teletype was even founded.
There's not much fanfare, because most Linux distributions (and Ubuntu in particular) have regular release schedules.
And this isn't even a release.
By the logic of TFS, we could as well celebrate the coming of spring (the beta version of summer 2009).
The advantage of this new system is not that you can view your e-mails offline (that's what IMAP and POP are for), but that you can use Gmail interface (which many consider better than most standalone e-mail clients) offline.

All issued cards must be replaced
...why? Unless they (along with everyone else) have lost their public key, there should be no problem verifying all previously signed cards.
Oh yes, the year of the HTML 5 desktop is coming!
Perhaps it will have a nice web portal with reviews, in-depth descriptions, and decent screenshots?
So kind of like Ubuntu's gnome-app-install?

2025 is the year of the Linux desktop!

I wonder how fast he would be if he imagined a Dvorak keyboard.

IE is practically part of an OS. There, fixed that for you. (Oh, that must be my favourite Slashdot meme.)
Can't wait for the butterfly xkcd reference.
Supposedly Debian (from Sid onwards) also does not allow 'rm -rf /'.
Can we please have a source on that? I don't dare try it. (Last time I did, well, it worked.)
That being said, the author is not really responsible for billions of dollars of mistakes, the programmers are.
Who am I to argue with someone that is taking resposibility for my mistakes?

Something doesn't seem right here.
your information is just as easily available as if you were an active member.
Only more interesting now.

Didn't you read the memo? According to a recent post, GGP might be suffering from dementia.
Yes, they're probably running their own proxy server for this.
If you RTFA you'll also note that the only one known CA that is really vulnerable to this attack fixed it the next day.
