Yeah, with the way they have it set up, they're really trying to win over any of the users out there on OSX, Linux or just using a 3rd party browser for simple ISO download that benefits them more than anything. They should be happy that people want to beta test it for them, not detour them through all sorts of entrapping features that only work if you download X or use Y browser/OS.
If you're a webdeveloper, I hope one has access to at least IE, FF, Safari and Opera for testing and perhaps Chrome as well for JS engine differences to safari. Otherwise, one just have to assume that everything works out A-OK for everything.
In fact, people of high IQ do in fact tend to have larger brains.
But you do know that on average that women have smaller brains than men, right? Just saying that your statement and your username would imply that you just indirectly called yourself less intelligent since you believe brain size is a factor =p.
since they had bigger brains. Maybe not the same parts of their brains though.
If having a bigger brain was the ultimate measure of intelligence, then elephants would be geniuses
In fact, brain size does not matter in humans either. It's just an old wise tale carried over from the 19th century that still haunts us today (as seen here).
If Microsoft puts out an OS which allows people to write third party software for it, don't they have some obligation to make sure their OS can't be compromised by third parties?
Couldnt one say the same about *nix as well and all it takes to compromise it is allow an inexperienced user to run as root long enough and run the wrong binary/install a bad package from a third party. Running as root is ignoring the sandbox set up to keep such things from happening. Not running IE in a sandbox is a similar case I think though I think being closed source hampers IE somewhat (though not every closed source browser is full of holes [such as Opera]). Caveat Emptor I think plays a part in anything one puts on a computer after OEM.
IE7 is set to run in sandbox mode by default. If a user decides to take it out of that by force or installing addons, then I would gather they would be to blame directly or indirectly for the end result. Im not MS fanboy, but can they really be blamed for shoddy coding done by third parties?
And really, why use WebKit? Sure, its a decent rendering engine but no better than Gecko or the other OSS rendering engines
Really? Gecko is on par with webkit? KDE's benchmarks for the top rendering engines beg to differ on this (and these tests were done just a month ago). Off the top of your head (without using google) can you name a OSS engine that isnt a fork of KHTML or Gecko? Gecko is nice in the fact it complies pretty well with w3c standards, but in terms of performance, it has a ways to go to be up there with khtml/webkit. So why use webkit? Because you spend less time waiting for pages to load. If you don't like fast speeds, I'm sure I can refer you to other software tools that will allow you to fully "optimize" your cpu's usage:).
Her [Palin] basic political skills are awesome, her political instincts are sound.
I wish you had of said this sooner so, I could have disregarded your article instead of reading this at the end, darn you! =p
As far as her basic political skills, she can't even answer what newspaper or magazines she reads
NEW YORK Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin repeatedly failed to cite a newspaper or magazine when asked what she had read regularly before John McCain picked her as his running mate, saying only that she had read "most of them."
I guess if she's asked if she knows the names of the countries in the Middle East, she might reply, "Yeah, most of them." I wish I had those kind of political skills.
Who says you cant just go out and buy a copy of OSX and modify and run it via hackintosh? All that is needed to get around the install is to emulate the EFI on boot and there's a program out now that does that thanks to some reverse engineering by someone in the hackintosh community. With that you can even run the Apple update. This also works on AMD CPUs as well. Might have some problems running things that use PCI slots, but certain soundcards do have drivers out there. Honestly, I don't give a rat's butt what Mr. Jobs thinks (and his "oh no, you have to buy my overpriced [now pc hardware other than the EFI mobos Intel makes for them] hardware to run my OS). I should be able to do with the software once I purchase it at full price, so long as I am not distributing my copy to everyone else.
For more information, check out this site. Their faq will tell you the basics and they also have a list of hardware people have sucessfully installed OSX with here as well as a list of sound card drivers for pci if you do a search.
Im sure they spent plenty on marketing and determined what people wanted to listen to for it. If people who bought guitar hero (a large percentage, not a handful) wanted to hear a certain genre, then they would have included it or would release a seperate game for it.
He's going from talking about rendering engine (webkit/gecko) to talking about how great the features are in Chrome (not the rendering engine, the browser). Then back to rendering engine (gecko). What exactly is your topic?
Just a hunch, but the writer doesnt sound intelligent enough to know the features of a rendering engine.
According to The Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, ed. Brian Ash, Harmony Books, 1977: "... [Hubbard] began making statements to the effect that any writer who really wished to make money should stop writing and develop [a] religion, or devise a new psychiatric method. Harlan Ellison's version (Time Out, UK, No 332) is that Hubbard is reputed to have told John W. Campbell, 'I'm going to invent a religion that's going to make me a fortune. I'm tired of writing for a penny a word.' Sam Moskowitz, a chronicler of science fiction, has reported that he himself heard Hubbard make a similar statement, but there is no first-hand evidence." Hubbard himself was also quoted as driving his people toward financial results.
Here's a quote by the founder himself:
"Make money. Make more money. Make others produce so as to make money . . . However you get them in or why, just do it." and "Make sure that lots of bodies move through the shop,"
-L. Ron Hubbard
Aside from the above, if Scientology teaches purification of the body, why is Christie Alley so damn fat?

Is it just me or does this download break on every browser but IE?
I tried:
Anyone else get similar results?
I'm hoping some only accepted the phone to reverse engineer it. Nothing like a free phone you have no worries about accidentally "bricking."

forget not to use a line break when you post something like the above in html

have you tried mono?
It might be a previlage to drive a car, but they still need a warrent in the US to search it without probable cause.

Modded troll...hmmm, i guess i upset one of our grammar Nazis
Nazis were pretty sharp dressers, but the Italians gave them a good run
Rather silly to compare rendering engines (webkit) to browsers (IE) to begin with. Sort of like comparing apples to oranges
You do know that chrome uses webkit as well, right?
Was referring to the journal entry, not the arstechnica link.
He's going from talking about rendering engine (webkit/gecko) to talking about how great the features are in Chrome (not the rendering engine, the browser). Then back to rendering engine (gecko). What exactly is your topic?

You wouldn't happen to be a Scientologist (or recently taken a free personality test), would you?
If examples of scientology hurting others (or just being evil) is what you want, here's a few:
According to The Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, ed. Brian Ash, Harmony Books, 1977: "...
