There is one big difference: one locks you up on proprietary, patent riddled, "standards", to a level where one version of the application can't reliably open a different version's documents, while the other one entices you to use their products by being good, and to stay by staying good, having always a reliable way of leaving. I'll leave you to decide which one is which.
so i have ie, firefox, chrome, safari, and opera always installed on every one of my machines (work/ mobile/ home)
sometimes i'll randomly launch browsers just to get a feel for the user experience ("___ is not your default browser, would like to make..." ad infinitum).
Can't you bother to check the don't ask me again checkbox?
but after reading this post, i foresee the chrome pie piece experiencing a significant decrease in size
I think that you are overestimating the knowledge and privacy concerns that the average user has.
Actually, the free fall speed of an skydiver (max speed) is about 200 km/h. As 30000 feet is around 10 km, it gives you around 3 minutes of fall. (Back of napkin calculations, not considering the starting acceleration.)
Really, I like KDE. I like QT. I'm started to feel like Nokia is becoming something awful. I hope that if anything happens, KDE has enough developer power to keep QT going.
Yeah, I know: this is about Symbian, but really, does anyone think that Nokia is going to be working towards an Open (Source, not business) future?
B. You cannot, and MUST not assume that all users will read a howto web site, or take a class on Gnome 3 before trying to shut down their personal system. That is the only way to learn how to do it properly. (Hold the ATL key down while in your personal menu to see Logout change to Shutdown, and press Shutdown to see Reboot...) Sad... Other things like running and app from the desktop/window manager, need training before it can even be guessed at. (ALT F2) Just a bit arbitrary, don't you think? "Hey we need to allow a command input somehow. Lets just stick it on ALT F2, that's not used yet is it?"
Just one note, Alt+F2 has been a shortcut in both gnome-do and KDE for years. I actually set Launchy to that when I had to use Windows.
They are doing quite well for an advertising company that doesn't do hardware, and whose main pull are free products. I'd expect that as Google gets closer to the enterprise, that revenue will grow. Still, its profit is more than half, for less than half the revenue, and can operate with half the employees. Meaning (for me) that for a smaller company, it's doing better.
This reminds me of the process of one of the main early plots of Foundation, where a small, poorly stocked with natural resource planet in the outer part of the galaxy in a few generations had mastered incredible technology and miniaturization, far beyond other more naturally rich planets had accomplished.
I always thought it was an allegory of Japan, although now looking back it the original story was published in '44, and my impression was tainted by having read it in the early '90s. What country at the time fits the description? Or may be everything that happens has happen before, and will happen again.
I really think that the entire thing was an excellent way of teaching history to children. I know I got interested in Roman and Greek history after reading the saga as a child.
There is one incorrect assumption in your reasoning. You don't have to use one salt for all passwords, you can easily use a different salt per entry, and store it along side the password. This way, even if your database is compromised, and the salts are know, you still have to create a different rainbow table for each entry to be able to try and guess the password. This effectively kills the ability of the breacher to fish around for insecure passwords.

Real Agents use Semen.
My kingdom for a modpoint!
Yeah, zero penetration indeed. As in products that allow me to play the formats I want don't try to penetrate me.

What I find incredible is that people actually think that it is a good idea to mix Hot coffee/Messy hamburgers and driving cars.
So why should we put up with their theatre?
Because it makes money to somebody. I never said it was a reason you'd like.
Is it easier to learn than 3D Studio Max? Is it better suited for common workflows in the long run?
That an app is hard to use is not a problem. That an app is harder to use than it needs to be is.
May be you missed him proposing through /.

It is better that ten guilty persons go free than that one innocent person be convicted.
FreeBSD Ports is from 1993.
Are game companies going bankrupt at a higher rate than companies in other industries?
I feel there is a slight difference.

And taxable!
So your guys are sharp, but they can't use C#'s older cousin Java? They aren't sharp, they are #.

Just like high powered cars incite breaking speed limit laws and spray paint incite drawing graffiti on other people's walls.

What were we talking about again?

They still do.
Really /.? I know that dupes happen, but this is ridiculous!
