It is if you treat it as an abbreviation for failure. This is the internet, communication mangling is its specialty on every level from the Link Layer to the Organic layer.
In Java you can still leak memory (by forgetting to delete references or having a logic bug allocating more than needed) and reference null objects. The only language that doesn't let you screw up is a language that produces no output.
Chrome (2008) came into the game much later than Safari (2003), Firefox (2004), and Internet Explorer (ca 2000 BCE). Furthermore, their market share is neither indicative of the technology present in the browser nor it's speed.
Aye, but Firefox has to deal with the challenge of running on a lot more systems. Also, I think all cocoa applications on Macs run on top of OpenGL anyways.:P
As much as it pains a geek like me to say this, I still must note that just because something can be digitalized doesn't mean it should. As posted in sister replies below/above me, this brings up many serious issues, like running out of battery power.
Nice. It's a good thing I only use my wallet for cash, and not frivolous other stuff like a driver's license.

Problem is that solar can't scale economically to meet global demand. The point is that no matter what we pick, it's going to have significant drawbacks. Assuming it's feasible in the first place. With our current proven technology, the only two heavy hitters that (I am aware of) can do for a long time that are coal and nuclear.
Touche, but is there a source of energy that can meet global needs that doesn't have considerable health/safety/environmental issues? Keep in mind those global needs are growing hugely as much of the world develops.
8000 years is grossly off. It was used for much much longer than that. Also, in navigation which played a huge role in shaping how we are today. Also in understanding orbital mechanics, which affects anything involving satellites (communication and gps).
I'd say no. Knowledge of astronomy was crucial for civilizations to even form as it was the way of marking time and navigation. Like for when to plant crops, which was vital for permanent settlement.
Actually, new research comes to show that Steve Jobs may have actually been not one, but multiple people carrying the same [objective c] message. Unfortunately, the historians are having a hard time piecing more together from the scrolls written at the time, since nature's elements and use of gotos have shredded the biblical documents into threads.

Oh so you think, Mr. Robert Brown from 3200 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. And yes, those two street cameras can see through your window.

And how is this a bad thing? :P
I think the parent was referring to Google +1 as "+1"s.
But that cake was a . . . you know what, I'm pretty sure somewhere an innocent kitten will die if I finish that. :P
So the Mayan's segfault the Earth in 2012 due to a dangling calender pointer?

Internet Explorer
And it is not the goal of Firefox to be for enterprise.

Pft, you still using that ancient Aleph naught version? The new Firefox Aleph 1 can do multi-multitab browsing. :P
Firefox isn't for enterprise.

Pick your poison. Cheers.

No in response to comparison between military medicine and astronomy. I didn't deny that there exists military spending that is beneficial.
Methinks you forgot delimiters. Those spaces are capitalized. :P
Once I get a patent on making shitty interfaces, I am *so* suing the socks of /. :P

But there's no money in shouting at other people over the internet.
