ok, its somewhat valid (you should also simply say that you DONT support that browser and leave it to the user), but then why are you choosing a broken browser (IE) over better and safer ones (firefox and chrome)?
you have for some some MacOSX, so no IE in there... to standardize the browser you would choose again firefox or chrome, or safari
you are right now choosing for your users, people wanting other browser would be in the same place as now: "you cant" or "its not supported" the support and AD features are a lie, how many times you asked support for IE? what are you setting up in IE on the AD? the automatic proxy configuration? both the firefox and chrome can read the proxy setting from windows and can import IE settings if need other things.
Nope, you are simply a lazy BOFH... let your users install the browser they want and only support the one you want... this way everyone get the best of the 2 worlds, you dont have trouble supporting what you dont want and the users that want can use different browsers.
in the past i also had several problems, specially with flash, but right now FF is better than chrome, except on startup speed and when you have only 1 to 4 tabs
In Europe you cant waive basic rights. if your country law say you can do lawsuits, no matter what the ToS try to sell you, isnt valid. This warranty case is just that, the ToS says something that isnt valid as the above law already gave you that rights
>In other cases, other retailers have to get Apple to fix the stuff, but Apple isn't directly liable.
Apple still have to give that EU retailer the same 2 years warranty, that law isnt just for the final consumer, its for every electric appliance sold as new. (used equipment have different warranty times)
WinFS is the next big thing for the next windows version since windows 95... in each new release they postpone it... its just vaporware, its too slow to be usable
windows 2000 was both good and bad... at start, windows 2000 was horrible, full of bugs, lack of drivers and slower than win98... running windows 2000 was one adventure, you would never know what you would get......but a few years after, with service pack 4, windows 2000 turn the table and very good (as possible), it still had many security problems, but the speed, stability and the main security problems were solved... also, as time passed by, drivers and hardware got better, the only thing that windows 2000 was still very bad was the boot time. Windows XP when was lunched, it didnt had the speed, nor the stability of windows 2000, it only fixed the boot time problem as a good thing. Even after the winXP service packs, it was slower and demanded more resources than windows 2000
all that said... linux was and still is better than any windows;)
on this totally random test, chrome is good for machines with lots of swap and only one page... you add more pages and you need more virtual memory... so better have some swap so you can start other apps also
firefox is heavier to just one page, but adding tabs it doesnt increase much and used a lot less virtual memory...
i have also a steam account... but the lack of linux support made me migrate to desura
in desura i already paid for many linux games and the fact they choose to build a client first to linux instead of Mac shows that they believe there is market and that it open to grow faster than the Mac one
not all games manage to get the "mainstream" sells, even in windows... not even many mainstream games
ignoring 20,000 potential linux gamers, that are more hungry for good games, that can even pay more looks like "shooting the foot" and those 20,000 might be 100,000 instead by looking the previous humble bundle numbers in wikipedia
its already at $505,000 and this in just one day... you still have 13 days left of sales
now look that the previous bundles: in wikipedia.. the last one sold almost $2.4 Million
yes, WoW is a lot more... but many games can get that much? WoW is not just a game, its a monthly service and its the TOP seller... of all the MMORPG, not yet came close to it and most of them just closed after losing money for months
Not all games have success, even in windows... the humble bundle proves that if a game is good, porting it to linux will pay it self and will generate profit... the numbers of of linux a little behind of the Mac... and you cant deny that is a game market in the Mac people
of course, if the game is bad, its not the porting to linux that will make it profit... nor developing a game JUST for linux... but using certain technologies, apps and frameworks make possible porting a game to windows, mac and linux without increasing much the cost
well, i will assume that you are already using FF 9, not some old firefox...
show me a modern browser that dont eat ram... my firefox, opera and chrome are all using more than 1GB of ram and by experience, i get more tab open/MB in firefox than in the other two... but test it, open thesame tabs in the 3 browsers and check the ram usage
you might complain that after closing a tab, firefox dont release the ram fast enough, but in a few minutes it will release most of then (the rest it will reuse, its not lost)
but in today machines, web technologies and browsers, all of then use huge amount of ram.
if you want a ligher browser, disable javascript, plugins and images... or use dillo3 and links/lynx
finally, your problems is really that you have little ram and cpu power... and using broken things like flash will always make things worst... try flashblock to only show the flash you want, noscript to disable useless javascript in the background that might be eating your cpu and ram
But dont forget that there is many good open source games out there.
In many cases, graphics arent as good as close source games, but in many open source games are you have more fun time than in the close source ones (many are pretty, but boring or too short/buggy to be fun)
In Europe, they must at least give the 2 years minimum for warranties, dont know if there are already countries with higher minimum limit... so not all is lost:)
yes, it true... but that doesnt mean that it doesnt work...
but if you want to make sure, installl a slackware64, do a mkdir/chroot and install in there a normal slackware.. then do some mount --bind for proc, sys, tmp and dev and do a chroot on that directory to get a full 32bit enviorment.... if you need to use X, export the DISPLAY and copy the xauth cookie for the 32bit apps connect to the 64bit X11 server... problem solved!:)
Doesn't matter what browser is...... as long isn't not IE!!
i dont care how is the first or second... as long isnt IE. FF, Chrome, opera or even safari all support valid standards, dont tie the browser to the OS, work very well. IE9 is way better than IE6, but still support broken things, developed for "windows only". It it goes away, sites must update or will lose its users, and by that, everyone wins!
after all, isnt one of the ideias of chrome increase the pressure over IE... more browser, more fragmentation, more the IE lose by being non-standard
Fine, but nuclear is NOT environmentally neutral!! you forget that nuclear generate nuclear waste that take thousand of years to read safer levels and even in a mine are dangerous, water can enter, spread to the floor to the water fields and back to the human contact...
Also, a single big nuclear "leak" might produce more "pollution" than any of the other options... as history shows, nothing works without problems, accidents or evil doing can happen.
I think that the point is that they all require maintenance, but that once started up, the solar and wind don't require mining, transportation of fuel, or environmental cleanup just by operating, while solar and wind just require machinery maintenance... that the other also need. No only that, the others will need even more maintenance, because of higher usage of moving parts, heat, different materials (corrosion), etc
they are just trying to forget all the support machinery needed to operate a coal central
nope, as you can also change the your ipv6 address, specially if you use the ipv6 privacy extension... your ISP will not know when its the same device or another device
to do that, they would need to deliver just ONE ipv6 address for you... and that goes against the goal of the IPV6 and would probably force the ISP to have a lot more work to deliver ipv6 that way than to allow a normal ipv6 range to the user...

where is your bug report with a test case?
in the past i also had several problems, specially with flash, but right now FF is better than chrome, except on startup speed and when you have only 1 to 4 tabs
why is this modded as -1 ?
some people do want phones that work also as... phones!!
