I'd rather have the solidity of a Gold system that can not destroy people's savings via rampant running of the printing presses.
How would it stop that? The Government can just change the exchange rate of their currency to gold whenever they feel. Which is what governments on gold standards have done.
Ownership of half an ounce of gold will buy 1 suit, whether its 2010 or 1910 or 1810. Gold has a fixed value. Paper does not.
Fixed value? Since when? Gold has had numerous booms and busts in its value.
But Ron Paul does not advocate return to pure gold standard, he advocates allowing competing currencies, some backed by gold, other by silver, third by "trust in US Government", and letting people/markets decide which one do they prefer.
Because multiple competing currencies worked so great during the Articles of Confederation days, right? Oh wait, it was an abysmal failure.
Yeah, let's all be running continuously changed alpha quality code because only idiotic dinosaurs want to stick with stable, tested code instead. Oh and while we are at it let's rewrite all code that doesn't use a programming language that is older than 6 months. I mean jeez, if you aren't rewriting everything with the next latest toy language that is coming out you are just so dumb.
You're whining about a performance problem that doesn't exist.
O rly? They even have knowledge base articles about issues related to performance and corruption of hte SQLite file that stores bookmarks. So, no, he was not whining about something that didn't exist as a simple Google search would show you more examples.
That's not even the worst of this "review" that is chock full of typos, grammar errors and is almost entirely devoid of any actual content. It reads even worse than a book report written by a 4 year old.
No. Nowhere is it said to be illegal by Microsoft or anyone else. Microsoft's statement comes from rules of the International Trademark Association for the prevention of your trademark from being diluted.
20+ years real-world testing and updates and bugfixes from pretty much the entire open-source community vs. something that was released last week
Actually the last stable release was 2 years ago. Then you need to add the addition 19 years of development that preceded that. So why exactly do you think we should not expect more from something that has been in perpetual development for 21 years?
Because I never see Comcast commercials on my Charter Comm network or AT&T commercials for broadband.
Those are national ads that were paid and broadcast from the networks not from the cable provider, numbnuts. Nothing stops your local provider from replacing those with local ads to block them.
No flashy graphics bringing your machine to its knees
Yep the shitty quality of the code and the JVM do that perfectly fine on their own. If the game actually had flash graphics on top of that clusterfuck it would probably kill even the longest battery life laptops in minutes.
Wow, what a deal! You can use your savings to buy a shitty tablet that will break in a couple of months! I can't understand why businesses aren't jumping out of their seats over such a grand idea!

If the populace want to have something ban, let them do it.
So the majority just gets to trample the minority? That's just as bad as these stupid ethics committees running the show.
And by "most of us" you mean a small minority of right-wing whackjobs, right? Because most of us don't want a government that does nothing.

Aww, it's so cute how riled up you get over my posts.
Maybe you should stop living in some backwater shithole? I have middle tier cable service and 4 gig downloads are nothing.
It's a 4 gig download so you better not be in a hurry.
Yeah it takes a whopping 30 minutes. That's like...forever and stuff.

Wrong:
Word Mark MICROSOFT WINDOWS
Didn't even bother to do the couple of minutes of research instead of making false claims?
Yes, and that is taken from rules of the International Trademark Assocation not US law.
Windows Operating System.
Nope. Sorry boyo:
Word Mark MICROSOFT WINDOWS
It is not a mark for "Windows Operating System" as you falsely claim.
Tough words coming from a pasty lardass who can only leave his parent's basement through the help of a forklift.
I've seen forums that are far less geek-elitist than slashdot, talk about facebook as the new AOL.
Such as? And please link to the posts as well.
Parent is a moron. Windows is a registered trademark and is not an adjective.

Or do you have proof that it will never be useful for anything?
The fact that it's still in alpha state after 20 years?

What do you think those oracle servers are running on?
Solaris.
Sun was.
