Chromium(Chrome) and Opera are eating their lunch in performance (even IE is kicking their ass), they have started emulating Chromium's look, and they have no presence in the mobile market.
Me thinks rough days are ahead for Mozilla's favorite project.
It's about having low cost equipment out in the wilds of anywhere. It's a lot cheaper to detect cancer in sub-saharan Africa and send one person into the city to get the real test vs the entire village.
Actually, it's cheaper to just let them die without anything, but that's not the point.
First. Weather you are for or against gay marriage. No matter. And although I can see your convictions clearly mind posting your real name, current occupation and address for anyone who dose not like what they think you stand for from this one post?
What petitions have you signed that required real name, current occupation & address? The most I've ever signed on petitions is my name.
Regardless of whether or not you put that on, it's a LOT easier to steal from me using information on the net vs stealing from me using information that was found on a petition..
I think Canada has maintained a good balance between free markets and social needs. This is evident with the lack of bank failures during the crisis. I think this is due to the politics, with more parties to vote for and more awareness by the citizens.
We had a financial meltdown in the 1920s which led to strict rules being put in place to prevent what happened in 2008 with the subprime mortgage mess.
Canadians won't stand for any sort of corruption, even if it's for a meager $1M of crony contracts.
We put up with far more shit then we should. The current federal conservative government needs to get tossed out on their asses for the amount of bullshit they've pulled in the past couple years. Unfortunitely, none of the other parties can get their shit together well enough to get it done. And this is the opinion of a former staunch supporter of the conservatives.
I like how you think, however the lack of depth control on a laser would be problematic. Personally, I would much rather do that sort of work with a CNC Router. Obviously it does have limitations - materials, item design features, etc - but it is a mature, well proven platform.
Three things:
1) Why call it Timberwolf? To avoid the Iceweasel debacle?
2) Timberwolf sounds a whole lot cooler than Firefox.
3) AmigaOS looks pretty from the screenshots.
As he likes to say, percentages mean nothing without harder numbers. Let's use one of the original articles for number basis:
Wage hike: $84 million per quarter over entire company (with a raise of 20%)
Workers: 300,000 at one plant.
Assume 300,000 workers are 1/4 of entire workforce
$84 million * (100%/20%) = $420 million
$420 million / 1.2 million workers = $350 per worker per quarter.
Assume 1 quarter is 13 weeks, with each week being 40 hours
$350 / (13*40) = $0.6731 per hour.
Assume that it takes 2 man-hours to build a motherboard
Assume $100 motherboard is marked up 70%
Motherboard Cost: $30
Percentage increase: (2*$0.6731)/$30=4.49% increase in costs
Assume price increase carried through the entire pricing package, The former $100 motherboard is $104.49 now. Not a world class problem.
1) ThreeHundredEight is an excellent resource for Canadian Poll analysis, much like the United States' FiveThirtyEight. Personally I think Rae is probably the only electable leader of the proposed coalition. I think Layton is too far left for Western Canada.
2) Search Engine has an excellent podcast up this morning on how the Conservatives are pushing to get this through again.
3) I swear the Conservatives are trying everything in their power to piss off the future political power base in this country. By 2020, everyone under 40 will have intimate knowledge of digital privacy, copyright, and barely remember a time when there wasn't an internet. Nobody under 50 will remember a time without videogames and personal computers. This legislation will hamstring the Conservative party for years to come.
Disclaimer: I used to be a diehard federal conservative-voter (I'm a social liberal, fiscal conservative), however with the garbage the Conservative party has pulled in the past few years, I would be surprised if I would return in the near future.
I've had good luck using Pana, which has continued development of Amarok 1.4 and continued to work on bugs. I use it on my 5 year old laptop (which runs Lubuntu BTW) and it's been flawless.
"A British scientist claims to have become the first human to be infected by a computer virus, in an experiment he says has important implications for the future of implantable technology. Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading infected a computer chip which was then implanted in his hand with the virus and then transmitted it to a PC to prove that malware can move between human and computer."
This is the first time a computer chip implanted in a human has passed a virus onto a PC.
And did we really need a proof of concept of this? File it under 'Fucking-Duh'
Actually, every game I ever tried worked on 2000, even the ones which said specifically for XP. In fact, I would never have upgraded to XP except 2000 wouldn't install on my Sempron rig when I put it together in 2006.
Then that fall I switched to Linux. And now I use Lubuntu, which looks a lot like 2000 did...
The two primary pieces we need to put in place are:
Support for many more applications, and adding / removing applications. Instant-on environments are locked down, while netbook environments should support anybody’s applications, not just those favored in the Launcher.
Support for file management, necessary for an environment that will be the primary working space for the user rather than an occasional web-focused stopover.
Emphasis mine. If this thing is going to fly at all, they'll need file management. It's that simple.
1) Moving the max/min/close buttons now makes sense.
2) Dash reminds me a LOT of KDE 4's start menu.
I generally like the idea, especially with the goal of allowing KDE apps to seemlessly integrate. I still have issues with using the gnome base when I think LXDE has a far better upside (in my opinion) with respect to low power computing but I hope that Unity does continue to evolve and prosper.
Dr. Egon Spengler: I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there and all my data points to something big on the horizon.
Winston Zeddemore: What do you mean, big?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
Winston Zeddemore: That's a big Twinkie.

Damn, you're right. My bad.
Thank you to Majel for not being a douche!
for not being a douche when Motorola released the StarTAC.
I'm waiting on an Android-based MP3 player.

If I hadn't already commented, you would be getting mod points from me for that. Uncontrolled fanatasism, no matter the cause, helps no one.

Unfortunately the RIAA and MPAA seem to be more interested in punishing normal people than actual criminals.
It's easier and more lucrative overall.

For still having the brains to use paper & pencils.
Now if we can get son of C-61 (Canadian DMCA) buried and C-389 (Gender identity & gender expression) passed, it'd be gold star time for us!

Guitar Hero on the iPhone. HOW?!? Kinda missing the guitar there...
And Farmville on the iPhone. I guess I should have seen it coming - they have farmville gift cards now at 7-11.
My boss would have a field day with the summary.

That being said, I want to try Clementine too.

Everyone talks about Chrome OS, but has anyone actually used it? Until we get to play with it, how do we know what it will do?
That was a horrible, horrible movie. Melanie Griffith was hot and the mustang was cool, but it was BBBBAAAAADDDDD.
Thanks for making me want to watch it again.

Can / Will this be released into Chromium since Flash is proprietary?
