Yeah that Google company hasn't been able to make it work at all. I mean I'm constantly having to wait _microseconds_ for my search results. That's just unacceptable.
Agains, completly false, there are even 3 apps developed by google (not to mention a youtube client that is included with every iphone/ipad/ipod touch).
If any of you have actually read koran, you will know - it is not only a religious text, intending to govern inner space of an individual. It is a fully laden constitution, complete with civil and criminal law. Everything, ranging from how to distribute inheritance to what 'rights' minorities can have in an islamic society, is tied to concrete rules there.
Sounds a whole lot like how another book reads to me. Except its adherents feel that it's okay to pick and choose which bits they adhere to. You know, gays bad, pork good.
How can we check the published program is the one running ?
How can we check paper votes are counted right? How can we check the ballot results are added correctly? Have you ever tried to track how your paper vote is counted?
In Australia, and I'm sure most other democracies, we have a position known as a "scrutineer", appointed by the candidates who are allowed appoint one per polling place. The scrutineer watches the voting process and watches the counting process after the polls close.
I've been a scrutineer, so yes I have tracked the paper votes and how they are counted.
WTF are you doing riding in the door zone? If some idiot road designer has painted some bike logos within a metre of car doors, that doesn't mean you should ride on it!
I've never been doored because I don't ride anywhere near doors.
We've had web-based word processors for fifteen years but Google's web-based word processor is different because it's from Google?
It's not different because it's from Google, it's different because Google is behind it. Remember "nobody ever got sacked for choosing IBM"? Well that's Microsoft's biggest lock-in method now. It's not like Office is good at word processing, spreadsheets or presentations. In fact it's lousy at all three and hasn't improved in nearly ten years.
But try getting your boss to move the company across to a platform from Gee Whizz Inc, market cap $20,000. But he's heard of Google. His business magazines constantly gush about them, so they must be good.
Too bad Logitech canned the best one they ever made: Logitech Trackman Marble FX. I owned four of them, but they all eventually died. Now trying the Kensington Expert Mouse (which is, actually, a trackball) but because it's flat, I find it makes my wrist and shoulder sore.
The beauty of the Trackman Marble FX was that it didn't use the thumb on the ball, and the whole thing was tilted at an angle so your hand sat flat, no tilt in the wrist. I'm thinking of putting an angled block under the Kensington device to do the same thing.
You don't get it. No, you charge $5,000 because nobody in their right mind would buy the cheap and nasty version. Oh no, your version is CERTIFIED. (includes certificate on fancy paper)
Yeah because FreeBSD really has an enormously valuable and well-known brand out there in the consumer marketplace. I'm sure Asus have been getting calls all the time from grandmas saying "I'd buy your Eee laptop if it came with FreeBSD."
All your points comparing FreeBSD to Debian are completely bogus. There are very good reasons why Debian decided on the design it uses.
Methinks you don't know what you're talking about. Java is nothing to do with JavaScript, beyond the name which was something that came from Sun's marketing department.
Actually, there's ways you can make this scale. Your blacklist does a DNS lookup periodically, and modify the ISP routing table so that any IP that matches an entry in the blacklist is routed via the filter. So that means only IPs on the blacklist need the filtering logic.
A massive host using thousands of sites per IP is going to be slower, because somewhere on that host is bad stuff. But if you want to ensure you're fast, make sure you get your own IP for your host.
Not advocating for the plan, just that any technical problem, given enough resources, can be solved. We need to stop arguing that it's impossible in case someone makes it possible. We need to be arguing it's something we don't want.
Really? I wasn't aware we'd had the ability to splice random genes into the genome. Perhaps selective breeding is a more advances science than I expected?
Sorry, how will herbicide resistant soy grown for stock feed be useful to these different coloured people in different countries?

Google Chrome, Day 2

Google Chrome isn't a browser, but a template on how FireFox, Safari, and other browsers should behave.
I take it you haven't actually used Chrome then. This isn't some proof-of-concept or kite flying exercise. This is a seriously-polished candidate for day-to-day browsing.
As soon as there's an ad blocker and an equivalent to FireBug, I'll be switching. It's that good, on launch day!
You have all the freedom you like to write and release software and hardware under any license you care to use. The FSF also have the freedom to include or exclude it from their own releases according to any criteria they care to use.

Seems like every day there's a story about AT&T, Verizon, "cable" and "digital switchovers". It's just one country, right?
I swear my first thought when reading this summary was "Of course, NHS dentistry!"

As we all know, the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution covers the United States and the United Kingdom. Hell, their names are similar.

No Linux version here in Australia. If it's accounting for 1/3 of sales, why the hell isn't it available?
I certainly won't buy the Windows version, but I'd definitely consider the Linux version.

You know when Java first came out, I saw some job ads asking for five years' Java experience. I don't think Bill Joy applied though.
