I'm not saying that we should support Microsoft. I don't think we should, and yes, they are keeping their promises because of FF, but that's not a bad thing.
All I'm saying is that an outright boycott of IE7 won't help anyone. Pushing for more usage of FF will help everyone out more than boycotting IE7.
I hate to be on Microsoft's side on this one, but I think that Mr. Thurrott is a little overboard.
I agree that more people should use Firefox, Opera, and other non-IE browsers, but I don't think that requires an outright boycott of IE7. If anything, we should all be looking forward to IE7 since it seems that Microsoft is making good on its promises for this one.
Let us remember that Microsoft and Google have taken fundamentally different paths from their beginnings. That does not portend towards the future of either company, and so to say what will happen in ten years is fallacious. If Google does become monopolistic, as you predict, then I will be just as upset with them at that time as I am now with Microsoft, but don't somehow believe that such is assuredly the future. I see Google for what it is now, and will deal with that when/if it comes up, but it's not a sure thing.
I'm sorry Dave. You can't move that way. No, I'm serious Dave, your arthritis is getting worse, and you haven't taken your arthritis medicine yet today.
I think I might know who the original hot grits guy was, sort of, possibly.
I used to frequent a site called LinuxNewbie.org back when it was still under the watchful guidance of a guy who went by the pseudonym of Sensei. I remember there being a member called Craig (I think) who posted these zany pictures all the time, and one of them was a Photoshopped picture of Natalie Portman as a statue. People commented on his amazing petrification skills. I think that he may have been the original hot grits troll.
Anyway, take that with a grain of salt because I'm not absolutely certain. It's mostly speculation.
The Terminator and the Matrix aren't all that different if you think about it, and it's not to hard to fathom that the Terminator could be considered a prequel to the Matrix.
In the Matrix, the world is controlled by the machines after the humans lost the war to them. In the Terminator, the machines are in war with humans to gain control of the world.
Old machines are good learning tools, even if only on paper, although they were easier to work upon in my electronics class.
Hardware concepts haven't significantly changed over the years. What has changed, significantly, is that everything has become smaller. Once the basics are understood through learning of these old machines, the more complex concepts of more modern machines can be more easily understood. Good Computer Architecture classes will start off on the hardware of these old machines first, and build off those concepts as the class moves into understanding newer machines.
One thing I remember from history classes is that pictures of survivors of the atomic blasts were censored.
Makes me wonder what else has been censored within the last century, particular for historically significant events. Was there anything censored that could have been historically significant had it not been censored?
Perhaps you're right, but the research done for this database was done using tax money, not private money. If the database was managed by a private institution, that would mean tax payers would pay for it twice.
Thanks slashdot. Did I mention that I'm a former Catholic? Yeah, trust me, the kind of imagery created by this title for me are not good. That was the last thing I wanted to think about.
Just imagine the Spanish Inquisition in tights. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, would expect that.
Any developer who is so limited in that manner isn't a very good developer. A good developer should be able to learn a new system quickly enough to program for it.

I want the extremely personal advertisement with the supermodel standing next to the booth.
You must be of the "let's merge KDE and GNOME" camp.

For those curious about why Rutan was in a small city of 40k, EAA is the host of the largest air show in the world.
Living close by, I can say that it can be a bit of a clusterf--k.
Not in a link to Google. For all Google knows, you could mean Space Research Institute.
Thank you, Mr. Crystal Ball.

I'd really like to see some of this free-as-in-beer beer that everyone talks about.
Easy enough. Go to a frat party when everyone is drunk.

Sorry, but I gotta ask. Why would you marry someone so concerned with such frivolity?
I care...because my hot grits have been waiting for such a long time. Shoot, I gotta reheat them.

Personally, I do not believe that three days is time enough to allow the magnitude of such a calamity to sink into one's conscience.
Psychological shock is just as paralyzing as physiological shock.
Sorry, I made a mistake. It was Truman who ordered the bombs to be dropped, not MacArthur.

This isn't meant to be flamebait, and only meant to be a serious question.
Why did MacArthur give Japan only three days to respond after Hiroshima? Why not at least a week?
