So I'm not sure how Chrome is somehow more noticeable to the mainstream, especially since it doesn't add any of the bells-and-whistles type features that typical people notice (security and performance isn't exactly exciting to the average joe).
Chrome got a line on the Google homepage for a while.
I am having a hard time deciding between the following:
Cowboy Neal -- Jonathan Pater
CmdrTaco -- Rob Malda
Kibo -- James Parry
NewYorkCountryLawyer -- Ray Beckerman
Linus Torvalds
Richard Stallman
Eric S. Raymond
Funny, whenever I state I am not supporting someone's favorite candidate, they very quickly reach a conclusion on what candidate I must be voting for. There is a very strong "us-vs-them" mentality here in the US (at least my little corner of it).
Slashdot Mirror
... served as a wake-up call about the risk of software bugs, and it set the stage for network security...
Calling it a wake-up call would imply that people actually woke up and fixed things afterwards.
I will often go back to sleep after my alarm clock goes off.
How much disk space does that mirror require?
Good point. But non-security updates would still benefit from this.
Debian should just accept the fact that they've become some kind of a headless living organ donor for Ubuntu...
And Mepis.
And Knoppix.
And Xandros.
And Linspire/Freespire...
You are assuming a linear adoption rate. I am hoping for an exponential one.
If Canonical tanks, I hope their changes will have been integrated upstream.
Yes. 21/100 on Acid 3

If you believe that the Beagle 2 found aliens, then you must perforce also believe that the Beagle 2 *was* a NASA probe.
Beagle 2 found aliens, but Beagle 0.3.8 finds everything else.
But that might result in even more work hours!
Think "X-ray vision"
Either that or Sony had some serious dirt held over Adobe's head...
Patent warchests ftw!
Your what filter?
His ********* filter. Duh.
Being a decent human? I don't need your scare tactics to act civil.
And who gets to define "decent human"? Rare is the individual that does not think they are not a good person.
some of the worst

if my door isn't locked, or is even open
Or in my case, not in the doorframe for the time being.
How long would it have taken the Storm botnet (when it was at it's prime) to crack a decent password?
No, that's Linux's area:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Yellow Dog Linux
Bluewall Linux
2. Why doesn't Microsoft just fix XP and Vista instead of spreading their viral programming practices into a cloud?
It isn't wise for a business to avoid a market that they think will be taking off in the near future.
Are we settling on Flying Cars or Landable Planes?
105 years later and we still haven't figured out how to land?
Some of you old timers may remember this and timesharing in the years before personal computers.
But now MS are the ones saying it.
If there was no DMCA, we wouldn't need the safe harbor.
