I agree. PulseAudio is amazing. It works perfectly on all of my machines. It just works out of the box on all of my machines with no fuss and great quality.
These statistics seem to a be a bit flawed. Windows has 90% of the market, Mac OS X has 9%, and Linux has 1%. However, Linux is heavily used in servers, handhelds, and other devices. Not to mention, the fact that there is no way reliable way to track Linux installs (100s of dstributions with users installing everywhere and no phoning home to report it).
I don't think this statistic is meaningful. I think Linux should keep chugging along and show the world that freedom, volunteers, and good will can equal money. Something to tip the scales...
I like the look, I like the layout, now lets just hope that it follows through as intended. If so, this could be a great resource for both experienced pros as well as new users.
I like the new look too.
Hopefully Linux.com amounts to something more useful than a news aggregator.
Maybe it could host video and image tutorials on how to use popular Linux distributions. That would be helpful for new users as I often have to sit down with them and explain Linux and how to use it. Then I start getting calls at odd hours of the night on how to install programs or why a certain program isn't working.
The one time I actually RTFA, the article is fail.
As other commenters have pointed out, the article is inaccurate, and the numbers and ranks they are basing they're crazy conclusions on do no even match they're own raw data.
Oh well, back to Nethack to find that amulet. (Actually, I should probably consider sleeping... nawww, that can wait. The Amulet of Yendor is much more important.)
No, they did not turn that feature off. The OP has no idea what they're talking about. Open Office 3.1 also has a fully functional grammar checker that works extremely well on ALL major operating systems (linux/osx/windows).
Give it to someone more deserving, like small business. Like the summary said, this is just pocket change for Microsoft.
I would say something about Microsoft being more interested about building bridges and software, but I wouldn't be surprised if they fail at this too. It seems everything Microsoft builds has shaky foundations. XP
1. The Olympics dated back to the Greeks. Not the Romans.
2. One Laptop Per Child is corrupt now. Yes, we should boycott it. If you would like to debate this, be my guest. You will be wrong.
I respect your opinion, but you really must know. China is trying raise its public image with the rest of the world. Much of the world does not like China. Unfortunately, taking away awareness of an issue is not fixing an issue. The rest of the world (or at least most of it) would like China to fix the issue rather than try and cover it up. The US and the UK are getting really bad too, but that doesn't make what any country is doing right. The only way to get justice is to show your displeasure. Boycotters generally choose to do it nonviolently. Or would you rather we attempted an invasion. Boycotting seems like a much better option, or have you forgotten Iraq?
Lisp implementations are very good. I have been programming for a while in many languages. My favorite implementation is Arc (or the community version Anarki). Lisp is inherently simple so the programmer spends more time planning and designing good code than working around the inefficiencies and design problems of the language itself.
who really thinks OSX has perfect security? Apple fanbois?
My either use Linux or Macintosh.
When I talk to my Macintosh friends about Operating Systems, they sit there and talk for hours about how much more secure it is than {any other Operating System}.
When I talk to my Linux friends about computers, we talk about security problems and how to fix them, rather than marvel at the seeming invincibility.
I may be wrong, but much of OSX's security is upstream. Apple fanbois tend to take everything for granted...
I have a PS3. It was a cinch to install Linux on. I use to do lots of processsing tasks, testing, and various other stuff. It is not only my computer but my gaming system. My PS3 on an HD TV is much better than my 17 inch laptop screen.
Have you ever noticed that PCs are so inefficient compared to gaming consoles? Gaming consoles are good for gaming and computing, not to mention compiling.
I hope that one day, everyone will have a gaming console (and that they follow a structured set of guidelines) and that we will mobile devices to interact with our network. Our mobile device will be our cell phone, our, music player, our web browser, our email client, and general purpose gadget. Things like this already exist, but they do not follow a structured set of guidlines that let each device perform in a similar manner with communication protocls and etc. that allow companies to pursue improvement and innovation rather than cheap business practices and vendor-locked, proprietary devices/protocols.
I wonder if any of this made coherent sense, or whether this sentence. Ignore me if you will, but one day I may be right.

They've had a while... What's keeping them? Do they WANT Mac OS C Server to suck more than it does already?
Seriously, people rarely use most of these.
KFU supposedly means "kisses for you". I always thought it meant "K, F*** You".

Darwin is not very open-source, and they use WebKit which was developed off of KHTML.
After we create all there robots to do our bidding, they will revolt and enslave us all!
NO! THEY BE STEALIN MAH FREEDOMS!
Downgrade to XP Pro? Don't they mean upgrade?
Or you could just switch to Linux. Then you wouldn't need to worry about Windows malware/spyware/virus stuff/incompetence
