You have a very interesting definition of "most popular".
MS Excel is indeed popular, but I think it's rather due to its level of polishedness rather than customizability. (Unless you consider cell formulas as customizability as well)
No, GP is arguing that the publisher should stop printing his books. Everyone else who's already bought the books can do whatever they want with the books within their legal rights. Likewise, people who've downloaded previously published HTML are free to keep it for future viewing. But they shouldn't be able to redownload it in case they accidentally cleared the cache.
No it doesn't. And heck no, why should it? Sure, given enough time and resource, it could be possible to run linux on Octave, but I don't see any sense of it.
Because the context here is its use as a desktop OS.
It's like you bought yourself a dock that comes with a motorboat and a bicycle. And the latter is bundled to provide "immersive" experience in the waters
And, no, giving a motorbike as an option makes no sense either.
Wait, if you don't care people adopt it on the desktop, why do you even care that Ubuntu exists? In what way does its existence harm your Linux experience?
I'm pretty sure GNOME shooting itself in the foot has nothing to do with the introduction of Unity.
Upstart did get adopted by Fedora for a while, but that's just Fedora being Fedora (even now it's replaced with homebrewn systemd). I doubt hardcore Linux users were affected; the distros they use didn't adopt them.
If there's anything you might be annoyed with, maybe it's the Eternal September effect: forums getting filled with noob questions who by people don't RTFM, or the pollution of search results of the keyword "linux" with mostly Ubuntu-centric stuff. But a simple google-fu takes care of that.
Athlon or Athlon XP? (your mark seems to be from the latter)
An A7 (iPhone 5S) has a CPUMark of 35274.
You workstation is slow by any standard. Modern SoCs are much faster than you imagine.
Even your Geforce 4 is so abysmal slow compared to modern mobile GPU that you assertion is simply laughable.
Welcome to reality. Phones annihilate you ancient workstation and blow it in the middle of next week.
Indeed, this page gives the same results too. It dwarfs even the current state-of-the-art workstation class CPU, Xeon E5-2687W, which could only net 14630 CPUMarks!
Killer app here refers to "killer appliance", an appliance which you can't do without that necessitates people to find, or produce, more people just to put it on. (I'm just following Wikipedia's definition)
This is a game changer for countries with falling birth rates, like Japan.
I don't remember how it was in NoScript, but in ScriptSafe (for Chrome), even in whitelist mode, a preset of known URLs are blocked before requests could be sent.
And how do you think the Chinese script is input on the devices? Right, IME.
And the IME uses what transliteration system? Pinyin. And pinyin is in what language? Right, Mandarin!
Sure, you can use handwriting as the alternative, provided that you remember how to write them (it's easily forgotten especially if you don't write on paper often.
Nevertheless AFAIK dialect users use latin when writing messages, so I think the discussion is moot

Now I know where Frosty Piss's username came from.
I'll take that term as an addition to my vocabulary, thank you.
Wouldn't they come to shop at the supermarket more frequently then? It's just that the market becomes more liquid than ever!

And this reader has been crossposting in how many threads already?
Cool! One day we could ourselves play the role of GLaDOS while the AI finds its way out of puzzling mazes!
No, but that wasn't the point of contention. You see the word GGP used, "unique distinction"?

Is the bandgap of graphene zero, or is there no bandgap on graphene?
Is that why everybody's moving away from Ubuntu these days?
BULLSHIT.
An Athlon 2400+ has a CPUMark of 357.

"heat up a spoon with duck tape around the handle then put it in cold water"
I wanted to call out on that, but then found it the thing actually exists.
But what's so special about this tape compared to a generic unbranded one, that you chose it particularly for this prank?
what are they hiding.
Patent infringements, perhaps.

I thought this was a ressurection of those Gamemaker meme comments. But looks like this time it's genuine Gamemaker stuff.
*sigh* okay. Galse, like false, except with infinitely more typos!
I don't remember how it was in NoScript, but in ScriptSafe (for Chrome), even in whitelist mode, a preset of known URLs are blocked before requests could be sent.
I wonder why things runs on batteries too.
But that would put a strain on the state coffers, and in the long run, hurt the economy. Then everyone suffers.

A step closer to singularity laser mounted shark!
But everyone else is adopting agile, so if we choose to have longer architecture phase, we will fail to adapt to the evolving market, and lose out.
I suppose it's a tragedy of commons, with time-to-market as the abused resource.
