I'm starting to wish somebody makes a descent CPU for modern programming loads, taking inspiration from Burroughs Large Systems B5000, only with a register mode, and a proper permission system so we can get rid of privileged instructions, on-stack object and array support via pointers, some more load/store instruction overloading for homoiconic programming support, and, most important - parametric types. Kill x86 already, please! Note to mods, if you think this is offtopic, look up the stuff I mentioned in wikipedia, and think again.
Anybody ever thought about a javascript compatibility layer library for IE6 markup/scripts? Possibly integrated with the ActiveX plug-in for FF (yes, I know it evil).
All I saw here was a lot of handwaving and no numbers. So what if there are ten times as many nodes, when, after risk assessment, the delivery path is more reliable than the old fashioned one? You did not assess risks, you simply assumed, making an ass of u and me.
It seems that the "Great leaders" have caught on that information is power, and the wielders of the Dark Art of The Internet are a threat to their regime. Consequently they marked it as a mental disorder, instead of marking them enemies of the people directly, though the net effect is the same, by leveraging the negative connotation of "addicted" people. Get ready for another run of Nazis, guys. Hitler didn't just hate Jews just because, they were a threat to his rule, due to their tight nit culture, and we can't have non-conformists, now, can we? I don't know about everybody else, but I'm scared.
I think that this site is getting to me. My earliest memories of using a computer was a 366 MHz PII, IIRC, and not only did I understand that lecture, I liked it. *worried*
Well, my wording wasn't exactly perfect there, so sorry for that. But I believe there is a grain of truth inside that miswording, come to think about it. Apple relies on trashy generic Windows boxes to repel people who have money but not intelligence, bringing them to their market. Ahhh, screw it, I didn't express myself properly, I have to admit.
Actually, driving with the windows down is less efficient than using the AC. Also, AFAIK the reason cars get so hot is that they create a greenhouse, which can be countered with special window coatings, which are already offered, and not all that expensive to produce, they are just overpriced because they are a "luxury" feature. Not any more they ain't.
OK, tell them to make swapping out HTML rendering engines easy, as per their own design. I don't care if nobody else does it, they are a monopoly, and Trident is problematic for web standards. Heck, keep iexplore.exe, just change the back end to something... acceptable.
Limited hardware support and cost concerns, for both platforms. Don't be short sighted, please consider after-store costs, in both money and time. Though they are of no fault of Linux and other FLOSS OSes, unlike Apple, but in both cases, they are not viable alternatives for the general population, solely due to Microsoft's actions.

What HTML5 sites do you know except demos, anyway?

Something XML based? Say, XSLT?
What does a local machine graphics performance problem have to do with remote access, if I may ask?

OK yes that's income, but I don't want my premium services depending on that kind of funding.
Why?

Mod parent up. This murder is really getting to me. I'm 15 and I'm writing my will. Whatever. Excuse me while I go get drunk.

Diamond is an insulator, nimrod.

Hello, Taiwan? Did you get that Verilog tarball? Great, start production at full blast, our databases can't keep up with with preorders.

I third that.

Somebody fix git's binary performance, and fire up the torrent back end.

You do realize that you would probably modded Insightful, and with good reason, too?
