yawn, whenever there is a linguistic topic in slashdot someone trots out this bollocks. i see someone tiresome has also done the "if there are mono-lingual they are american" joke too
i use iCab all day but i bet at least once a day i'll need to use IE, usually for some commerce site. much of the time its because the site uses JS that was nice to add but not essential to using the site but they didn't degrade the site properly so u couldn't use the site with a browser that didn't support the (non-essential JS). its just laziness and arrogance. as a web developer i like to check pages i do in at least 3 different vendor's browsers. it doesn't take that long to check a site out.
why can't people use the OS they want, without something new being a threat to what they are using now? we're talking about operating systems for christ's sake! OSX and Linux will both prosper, i use both (though my Linux box is dead at the moment)
also to all those people who bitch about apple being overpriced, slow blah blah. give it a rest already. if you don't want to buy a mac then don't and don't criticise those who do. whatever computer u buy is a free choice, its not a status thing. having a faster CPU doesn't mean u have a bigger penis.
perhaps not, quite a lot of people in places like southern china, m'sia, s'pore et cetera who have a siff first language but who have learned mandarin too
aiya, when i first started looking at web sites, around late 95 i found popstar websites with thumbnail galleries already. a quick check finds that some of them haven't been updated since then!
or like i did, accept the promotion, get a few people below you into a sub-mngt role to take a lot of the responsibility then you can keep an overall eye on stuff while you pick and choose the technical jobs you want.
being good at a technical job and a management job i have found are quite different, just because someone is good at one it doesn't follow at all they would be good at another. at my place our boss used to be a guy who as a programmer could maybe hack out some GW-Basic but as a manager he rocked, we also had someone who was a great programmer but when he took over a load of programmers he sucked as a boss. if someone doesn't want to be a manager then they won't make a good manager in my experience. and managers are much easier to find than good technical people.
employers have too many rights and powers already, its right that employees should have rights and protection as well. if you think there is something wrong with that then thats your problem

in short this topic is pointless and smeg
naa all in one units are the shit. its so great not having that much spaghetti crap hanging behind your computer
u mean it doesn't make a click noise when you press it and something happens on the screen?

is someone going to repeat this bollocks every time there is a topic on slashdot about languages? if so can i quote this crap next time please?
oh that old chestnut again, just because someone can say "hello mister" doesn't mean they can speak english!
peugeots rock! my dad has driven one for 12 years without any probs, even though it was made in coventry!
M$ owns apple? i didn't know M$ made photoshop, director, flash, icab, bryce, fireworks blah blah
why handicap a great OS by putting it on Intel hardware? X86 is a total piece of crap. sorry just trying to be flamebait as much as u r
OSX PUBLIC BETA is the key, one presumes that the OSX full release in a few months time will be compat w/ 9.1

the majority of mac users? seems opposite to me, some vocal opposition but there was when we had to move from OS 6 to 7!
