On a potentially multi-user system, the best place to store application config files that should be user-specific is in the (single) application folder?
Teaching kids to assume that everyone is stealing, and that no one might actually want you to share their media?
And of course, completely uncustomisable interfaces on something that's meant to be a personally-customised tool?
Sounds pretty wrong to me.
Granted, I'd be much happier with something that lets DX10 run on Linux.:D
Or on a similar level of difficulty, if all games developers were persuaded to use OpenGL.
Seeing as hell's not frozen over, I think DX10 on XP would be more likely.
1) Proprietary system that is only in small part, OSS Even so, it's a step up on Windows.
4) A secure coding and patch release methodology that is *years* behind MS Considering what the last few years have brought in terms of Microsoft's secure coding and patch releasing, WGA and "You are clicking the mouse. Allow / Deny" for starters, I'd consider this a plus.
6) Apple uses Solaris and Windows (Apple china ran it until 03) because of their superior stability compared to OS X. If the latest figure you have is '03, shouldn't that be "Apple used Solaris and Windows..."?
Your other points are valid, but overall I'd say although people moving to Linux would be my preference, a move to Mac for the above reasons is a step in the right direction.
I use gaim^H^H^H^H pidgin and kopete. Kopete has some nice features that have yet to be put into pidgin (msn status messages, for one) and integrates nicely with the rest of KDE, mainly KMail and KAddressBook, but at least on my system there are some annoying bugs and missing features.
File transfers sometimes work, more often than not they download v e r y s l o w l y, and then for some reason save an empty file. With regards to sending, there's no indication in any way that you're sending a file until it's accepted. Given the hit and miss functionality of the requests, there's no way of knowing if the request got through.
The IRC module is sadly lacking too, many commands (/whois, i mean come on...) don't work and for some reason it sometimes doesn't register nick changes. The statistics plugin, enabled by default, also slows down the startup time by an increasing amount for some reason. A while ago it got to the point where the program actually started doing something useful about 5mins after it was called.

And if you can't write "propper" English, perhaps you should work on that instead of flaming people for using creative license?
From the 43 selectors 13 have passed, 0 are buggy and 30 are unsupported (Passed 308 out of 578 tests)
Apparently including the basic E, .class and #id . Something is amiss.... :/
As a more fitting name, it's now called the intertubes.

IMO, kopete is good, but lacks a lot of polish.
Out...side... America's borders?
I'm sorry, I don't think I grasp the concept.
I'm only 20 and my first computer had a sort of ascii gui, and a whopping 16KB hard drive. :D
I still have it sitting in a cupboard
Now I'm upset that I can fit so little on my 120GB one.
Lucas is making another Star Wars travesty?
Good good good, let us counter-attacking.
