It is blasphemous for non believers to say the name without adding said comment, but what about for believers? What makes you think I'm a non-believer?
If my name wasn't a giveaway, I'm from New Zealand (NZ).
What do you people have against homosexual men? I specifically mentioned 'men' as I suspect you have sufficient quantities of lesbian porn hidden away somewhere. Bloody double standards...
Windows Mobile is vastly superior to Windows CE from a developers standpoint, even though they supposedly use the same core. For example, the function SHChangeNotifyRegister only allows one registered notification at any given time on the entire system on Windows CE (and they don't even document it) but it works fine on Windows Mobile.
And users care about that distinction because...? The average user does not care. This is partly why Linux hasn't been widely adopted by end users. If they don't care, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I'll use what I want to use for whatever reasons I choose, they can use whatever they want to use for whatever reasons they choose.
Looks like the next service pack of Vista will ship with Bitlocker turned on by default That would only cause a whole bunch of support issues and leave the home versions unprotected since BitLocker is only supported in the business editions and Ultimate.
Odd, IE Tab is working fine here on FF 3 RC 1 without any modifications. That said, I find a safer way to get your favourite extensions working is to edit the version number in install.rdf which is inside the.xpi file (xpi is just a renamed zip file). That way when the extension updates normally, the hack doesn't stick around ready to break something later.
I'm not sure whether to take that hostile response seriously or not. You want more details? Boot Camp will help set up the partitions and boot loader so you can install Windows, and once Windows is installed you use the Leopard DVD to install the drivers. There isn't really anything more to it than that. I assume you want the hardware to work properly, so yes, you do want to use it.
Hmm... I wonder if I can put Windows on it (without the Mac OS) and not need bootcamp. Do you even know what boot camp is? It's pretty much just drivers for Windows and a bootloader to allow you to choose Windows.
Psystar/Open Computing is reselling a full (read: fully-licesned) copy of MacOSX Leopard. Exactly how are they doing this if Apple aren't providing Psystar with the copies? If Apple isn't providing the copies, Psystar is pirating the software and hence it isn't fully licensed...
and prohibiting you from accessing and modifying your own kernel, even in memory With the number of incompetent users and various different hardware configurations making supporting the OS hard enough as it is, how is preventing tampering of the core of the system a bad thing?
Quite simply, if MS wanted to keep customers they would create a product with zero problems (or as close as they can get) and push it out at a VERY competitive price. That simple, huh?
I wonder what happened to their "beta" Silverlight version of the download center. They don't bug you to install Silverlight anymore, but there's an inconspicuous link to install it at the top left hand corner. They still do. It is randomised though, you don't get invited every time you visit the page.
Adobe has finally opened up the spec for Flash. That means anybody can write a player for any platform. Before they opened up the spec it wasn't "perfectly ok", though I'll grant you the proprietary problems of Flash weren't as well known as the problems with Microsoft's proprietary formats. And notice how they did this after Silverlight came along? The added competition probably made Adobe rethink some of the problems with Flash and saw that opening up the spec should help to alleviate the Microsoft invasion. I'm glad Microsoft gave it a go, now Flash might actually be usable on non-x86 hardware...
You mean like how iTunes and Safari look completely at home on Windows? Apple fans have double standards; they expect uniformity on the Mac and allow Apple software to stick out like a sore thumb on Windows. If an OS X user rejects my applications because the toolkit only looks 95% at home compared to other applications, it is their loss, not mine.
How much effort can the PR department really put into fixing this vulnerability? The group putting in the effort to downplay this is not the same group that fixes the problem. How about you let the PR department downplaying the issue while the software engineers develop a solution...
...although the ongoing tirade of jokes about fat, ignorant Americans is beginning to wear on me, and could very well be construed as outright racist. "American" is a cultural thing, not a racial thing. People have a choice about what culture they are associated with. People cannot choose the colour of their own skin (Michael Jackson is an exception). How can it possibly be racist?

Given that it only gets 40fps for Quake 3, it is unlikely that WoW would get past the loading screen before running out of batteries...
There are already ARM friendly distros out there, why must it be ported from Ubuntu?
My guess is the Flying Spaghetti Monster from the Pastafarian religion.
Except you need physical access to select the option at the boot screen...
Most expansions cost as much as a full game. Also, Blizzard have already released an expansion and another one is coming this year.

Fair enough, I must have missed that part. Stupid GMA 950 holding it back...
Try the digital version instead. Goes as high as dual 1920x1200.
