Mad scientists are way too nice and sweet-natured these days. We need more evil geniuses. Who'll do things like run the Large Hardon Collider on Vista.
(Okay, that's too evil. They can run it on Google Chrome.)
But really. Blaming everyone but Microsoft? The drivers, when they deliberately changed the driver model at the last moment so XP drivers wouldn't work? What?
Well, that's good. But I've yet to meet an antivirus I did like. (Scanning on the same instance of the same OS you're trying to protect is an inherently broken idea.)
For goodness' sake. They have your business data, your bank account details, your medical information, your DNA sequence and your personal preferences in pornography. Now they want your gamer chat?

It's the Windows job creation scheme mentality applied to OS threading: processes are heavyweight in Windows. "Process-spawning is expensive - not as expensive as in VMS, but (at about 0.1 seconds per spawn) up to an order of magnitude more so than on a modern Unix." More work = more hardware.
I am fully confident that Google will maintain complete confidentiality within the marketing department of whatever their applications access concerning your confidential business data, bank account details, medical information, personal preferences in pornography and DNA sequence. And they only take ownership of my stuff for good, decent and proper ad selection. They're not evil, remember. It said so in their prospectus.
Large, large, baybee.

Nah, a bully on the way down is always great comedy material. Gimme some for Apple and I'll see what I can do.

Wine is already more compatible with a lot of XP apps than Vista is. I heartily endorse Microsoft's continued journey over a cliff.
Windows 7 won't have these problems! It'll fix everything!

Obviously what we need is every tab running as a driver on a Minix microkernel.

They need to make a game actually called Red Ring, to follow up their earlier hit Blue Screen.

And freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

My hadron weighs a ton.
... What?
Also, time is actually cubical in nature.
It's really just a bit typo-prone.
(I am so very, very sorry.)
Hey, I cut my teeth on RSTS/E!
Yeah, I can see a huge bright future for ATMs running Java and GIMP and Firefox and Chrome.
Thank you, I'm going to have to scrub my brain with bleach now.
Odin tries to, but the project's been moribund for about ten years.
So has DOS and CP/M.
I know it was cruel. But fair. Or "fair but cruel."

All the JavaScript in Firefox, including the entire interface, runs in a single thread.
The big change for Firefox 4 will be multithreaded JavaScript, where one tab or bad AJAX app or UI bug won't freeze every damn thing.
