  2. Re:Chrome / Chromium on Mozilla Leaves Out Linux For Initial Web App Support · · Score: 1

    [citation needed]

    i've frequently found FF and chromium to be fairly competitive when executing the sunspider bench. sometimes FF is faster, sometimes chromium

    with pgo, chromium has never been FF though,

  9. Re:Who is paying? on Mozilla Announces Long Term Support Version of Firefox · · Score: 2

    Mozilla needs a high market share in order to convince search engines to give it a better contract.

    meaning Mozilla will try to get a larger userbase for firefox, so that the next round it needs more money, It can ask for more money from bing/google/yahoo or whoever is willing to pay for the defualt browser spot for firefox.

    so do they have paying customors outside north america? no, it doesn't matter, its the market firefox is trying to expand into to get money later

  10. Re:How does this change anything? on Climate May Be Less Sensitive To CO2 Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

  11. Robots will replace blue collar labor on Is American Innovation Losing Its Shine? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/11/mobile-farm-robots/

    this is not even the first step

    blue collar labor in america by and large has no future. The government needs to change the economic model to start developing our children's mind from a young age. and i mean, like making educational material -- like chemistry sets, cheap enough so that it's almost free

  12. Re:Yawn... on Mitsubishi Hack Stole Nuclear, Defense Data · · Score: 1

    Mitsubishi has plans for making the f-16 and the f4-phantom from the united states. they have legal liscenses for this.

  22. Re:One Of The Best Things About Being A Mac User on The Recovery Disc Rip-Off · · Score: 1

    apple's business model revolves more on the hardware, rather than the OS

    there is a reason why i can buy windows 7 pro for $170 (virtually any PC) and snow leopard for $30 (and can only be installed on intel macs)

    and to reply to the topic, you can still download the iso from MS or sometimes (use the label on your machine as the key), the manufacturer.

  24. Re:Wow... on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    These lightsabers are toys. Not real inventions.

    The concept of this non-functioning object is taken from the movie....

    Helicopters, communication devices, and other thought of ideas became inventions that could not really be disputed. It's because those inventions were a concept the -author could not make- into reality

    I'm pretty sure george lucas could have financed and made the same/similar toys if he felt like it.

    Now I'm not saying that i agree with this action. Consider it like this: you have to pay the owner of the "Gundam" name in order to call a humanoid robot machine a "Gundam" the same probably is going to be argued with these lightsaber toys.

    As stated in the article, the company has made similar devices before. Only this time it was intended to look like a lightsaber.

  25. Re:Now hopefully... on Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Don't they still have loads of pop-ups on those websites?
    If i recall correctly, all of the major web browsers by the time IE7 came out had anti-pop-up software in them.
    It wasn't that those advertisers decided not to send them anymore. It's that they lost the ability.

    just my 2 cents... correct me if im wrong.
