Let's all denounce KKKapitalism! Even the russkies get it. Just nationalize Microsoft, vote to make Windows XP the People's OS and enjoy the glorious World of Next Tuesday(TM).
It isn't native, it just looks kind of native. I read somewhere that the swing "open" dialog offers like 20% features of the real windows one. SWT can do native widgets though.
No one installs windows or installs drivers themselves. You buy the whole product as i did with my ThinkPad and it just works out of box. In any case, for windows drivers are not an issue. Hell, how can they be if everyone supports windows?
could it be that the demand for an OS which ist fast on 512MB is not great enough? could it be that to make such optimizations would cost more than the increase in revenue and hence a resource misallocation? i don't know the answers for sure, but microsoft employs probably the smartest guys on the planet who make decisions based on exactly this kind of questions, so i suppose if they do something, they have a reason to do so. contrary, if you base your decisions on anything but the market demand (ideology, gut feeling, etc.), what you get is 1% market share.
MS is not a charity, if people are willing to pay for Windows, why give it away? If people are willing to test your software free of charge, why pay for it? Nah, this has been repeated here over and over, but some people seem not to be able to grasp the principle, by which the market and businesses operate. To do anything other than profit maximization ultimately leads to resource waste.
You see, some of us plan to study hard, work hard in order to be able to own that dinosaur you speak of, or a couple. As for me, i would like a big one. You can put more effort in whatever you want as well, for instance buy stocks of public transport company of found a one.
How good i got my Thinkpad which costs $1000 in the US for â1500 here in Germany while those "large rebates" were still in place (this is in a country where people on average are 30% poorer than in the US ). Hope those legislators of ours impose some "fairness tax" as soon as possible so that next time i can pay â2K and get rid of all those guilt for buying superior products.
I have been using Logitech VX revolution for over a year now and also tried this cordless mighty mouse on couple of occasions and for me logitech is far better in terms of build quality and ergonomics. You may also want to look an VX Nano if you are left-handed or want a smaller usb receiver. Another great thing about logitech is that when i managed to damage my usb receiver they sent me another one free of charge without asking any questions.
Wrong. The colored mom destroys wealth while AC creates it.
Reminds me of Keynes's idea of making everyone wealthy by digging holes in the ground and filling them back in. Keynes is bankrupt for like 30 years already, still some buy into his snake oil "stimulation".
"giving you very very strange ideas about socialism"
as if 100 million lives lost on the XX century were not enough. with the right version of socialism they'll surey get it right. hold on tight!
yeah, guys here on slashdot know what is better for everyone including artists. if artist were so fascinated of this whole torrent thing, why would they sign contracts with labels? why don't they release their contents directly on torrents instead of the iTunes store?
also could it be that people here on slashdot are predominantly socialists/commies/leftists?
If i don't return purchases and don't get my account blocked, why would i care about DRM? I do care about price though and if say DRM makes books cost 50% of what the would have costed without DRM, then i am for it.
most problems you complain here on the slashdots day in and day out are not really problems for the vast majority of consumers.
If the internet is too expensive for you, get out of your basement and go find a job which pays better. Why all this permanent moaning and complaining?
well, that's only too bad for them. even bible says that stuff is there for us to take advantage of it, so they better learn to appreciate their mission.
As far as I know MS has got the best nerds out there (along with Google and Apple and other serious businesses). Is it possible then, that Linux got the leftovers?

Better yet equality in everything. Who cares that it goes against human nature, laws of market economy and is not fair.

the 10-20% users of "all browsers" won't have to download anything extra.

Yes, it is a moving target.

a thoughtcriminal! please report to the nearest ACLU office for reeducation. have a shovel and warm socks with you.

Yet another blow to KKKapitalism. Hopefully it will soon be completely eliminated. Now let me see if the welfare check is already in the mail...

If anyone is harming the market it is the EU bureaucrats.

people in "poorer" countries tend to be stupid so probably not. poor countries are poor for a reason.

free-market evangelists never mention anything about it
Yep, they surely don't: http://mises.org/story/2190 http://mises.org/story/2259 http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=1020

Should? Should not? How do i know? Guess this is why we have contracts - to know what should happen and what not.
