Do you really expect to be able to build a single base OS that 6000 millions of people will like? 6 billion people? It'd be great if that many people even had a chance to see a computer.
I can understand why people only use Windows, because they don't know any better.
However, I don't understand why people aren't screaming at Microsoft for all of Windows' shortcomings.
I believe that Microsoft has done a supreme job at convincing everyone that they are the victims of security problems, and its users are simply casualties of war.
To me, that's akin to a home security company claiming to be the victim, and its customers are simply collateral damage.
So, wait, you're describing a completely non-traditional installation in Xandros' and saying that's a reason most users would be scared of the installation? I doubt that a typical Xandros user would even attempt to go that route for such software. More likely, they would go through Xandros' traditional means for acquiring software.
Articles like this keep making me think that if there is ever a desktop revolution, that it will happen in a developing nation like India. They aren't quite so tied to Windows.
Sure, but we're talking about IBM here. That comment is like saying that most people prefer Coke over Pepsi in an article explaining that a lot of Pepsi employees drink Coke.
I hate to break it to you, but I get the feeling that hot-swapping processors is a feature rather specific to Sun hardware. It will likely do little good on hardware without this ability, which composes most of the population of Linux machines.
Of course, there are other hardware brands that do this as well, but the one for Solaris is likely to be written specifically for Sun hardware, and none other.
But you're not the kind of people we criticize. In fact, we hold people such as you near to our hearts. It's the fundamentalists that refuse to believe that the Bible has any flaws.
I read both articles, and to me, she doesn't seem at all apologetic in her second article. If anything, she's tacking on more concerns she has about this rendition of her book.
I don't know about you, but I remember characters in movies or videos for their characterization and what they did, not their name. Whenever someone tells me " was the best," I respond, "Who? Tell me what they did or what they were like, and perhaps I'll agree with you."
Truthfully, though, that's true for me in general.
Or it's just related to my difficulty of putting name to a face.

Addware? Is that software for adding stuff together? I think I've heard of them. I think they're called calculators. Or do you mean adware?
If it affects this many browsers, it's most likely a security bug in some standard. It could be something in HTML or ECMAScript (a.k.a. JavaScript/JScript). The only other possible explanation is that they all use the same code.
Konqueror 3.3.1 with smart pop-up blocking. I'm not sure if that changes anything, but their example didn't work here. Maybe it only works on 3.2.x series and previous?
Yes, but the NYT is a private organization and so is allowed more leeway in their definition of "too commercial." We can argue about it, but ultimately the answer to that question is up to NYT.
Why is this news? Such "tech digeratis" do this all the time. Why is he an exception? Is it because he works for Sun? That doesn't make him a technical person.
Screenwriter Dave Callahan claims "everyone was keen to keep the game's atmosphere", though there are some "minor" changes done to the film's concept: The monsters have nothing to do with hell, the plot is not taking place on Mars and "space marines" are not well "space marines" as their outfits are more like SWAT team members.
Sorry, but these are not minor changes to the Doom story line. Looks like we're in for some cross-media craptacular.
Don't bet on it That's only one example, but there are many others. Just do some searching around on the KDE lists (hint: search for WebCore, not Safari.)

WIth a name like that, I expect to see pictures of him eating those Cell processors, and describing how they taste.
For a moment there, I thought ASIMO was going into space. I was thinking how cool that would be to read about. You can imagine my disappointment.

6 billion people? It'd be great if that many people even had a chance to see a computer.
Perhaps you meant 6 million?

I don't understand what you're trying to argue.

Perhaps, but IBM gives more freedom and leeway with their patents.

Netcraft confirms that in Korea, only old people use the number 666.
Unfortunately, this is not Strict XHTML 1.0 compliant. The XHTML Strict 1.0 manner of doing the same thing is much more complicated.

I tried it without pop-up blocking on at all, and it did work. I guess Konqueror is more secure with smart pop-up blocking.

The answer to this question is in the slides linked to in the article.
So, yeah, RTFA.
Really, the slides only take about three minutes to go through, if you read slowly.
I'm not sure I even want to comment on this one. Let's just say that I could find this on the internet for way cheaper than even $41...

I think Joe has gone to such an extreme that he even wants his opinions to be secret!
