There's probably no implication of preference, but rather a "don't care" / "don't know how to switch" mentality... I think. Either way, having a bigger share as a result is a good thing.
Even if they did patent this, how would it affect all the free Linux distros out there? The functionality is almost never crippled and if it is there's probably no price at all to pay, after all...
I'm the freak who doesn't have a dominant hemisphere...Go figure. Every time I test, it runs right down the middle. Supposedly it runs that way for about 2% of the population. Anyway, I'll throw my opinion out there...FOR SCIENCE!
Hey, how exactly DO you have that kind of thing tested?
Well, at least they got somewhere then... I had to spend the longest time with my somewhat crappy x1100 hoping it got supported a bit better. (Haven't used a PC with an ATI card in over a year now, so I can't really say much about it anymore.)
No, but I'm sure I have some kind of link where Microsoft acknowledges how unsafe IE6 is, and that's the main reason why they unlocked IE7 for everyone to download...
I wish that some company would combine ARM and x86 into one chip already, so that a complete migration to a more efficient line of processors becomes possible.
DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about the feasibility of this.
It's actually good that this is on Slashdot, because now people are continuously making fun of their site and hoping they'll educate themselves a bit. Slashdot is not ALL news, I expect some humor and outrageousness too.
Was that the one with the yes/no decision making while he was doing work for a nuclear reactor? It's about the only episode I've seen fully and remembered.:P
I'd like to agree on this point - Firefox can be unbearingly slow on lower-end systems, and I really wish that Mozilla would fix this. I mean heck, you'd expect the thing to run decently on even a 300Mhz machine with no extensions, but it doesn't - it's slow with only this much CPU usage!

Can't realize that something sucks when, in reality, it rocks.
Did they fix it on Impulse, though?
Heh, "on impulse".
That must have been one fat truck.
Luckily I run Windows, or I might have gotten a virus, too!

(Hey, Nvidia! I'm buying ATI for my next card. You can stuff those binary blobs where the sun don't shine!)
But, you know, ATI is worse with video card support in Linux than nVidia...
ERROR: DIVISION BY ZERO
That might be a bit too much shortening... How about kilometer?
Huhwa? Sorry, I wasn't listening.

Well, someone might recognize her if they didn't blur that part out!
You mean 4.7 GB, and multply that by eight. Sigh...
You mean like SD cards and USB keys?
VALVe games are the only games I buy without even thinking it through.
Hey, I have that with TellTale Games! Except their games are already amazingly cheap.
Yeah, see a couple of posts earlier. Leave the police to the ACTUAL crimes, not to someone refusing to listen to the teacher.

So seriously, what the fuck is this shit?
The answer is easier than you might think:
It's humor. Just humor.
Don't just keep it at flaws, name the fixes too. The security flaws list for Linux could be bigger because more were discovered by more developers.
