I submitted a similar article from MSNBC (was rejected yesterday) the most interesting part is it calims that Firefox and other browsers are now at 18% of all adult US users. This was a random phone survey with a margin of error of 2%. I think it is some of the best data on the penetration of alternative browsers and something people could use to back up decisions to not just support IE. 20% if the market is not an amount that can be ignored.
No, you own the phone the moment you pay for it.
that is what i mean, you dont actually pay for it. The phone is part of the contract. With many plans that i've had, if you cancel the plan in the middle, they want the phone back ( they tell you that when you get the phone)
actually most people get the phone with the service plan and not independently. That is why in the US we get phones for free or for next to nothing and outside they have to actually pay. In all liklihood, he does not own the phone until the completion of his contract. Haven't you noticed that if you sign up for a longer contract, you will get the phone for less.
There is another way to look at it. I am sure there are more MCSEs out there than linux admins because of the way they are churned out. The MCSEs may know nothing, but they are probably good enough to do some basic point and click with the GUI. Keeping that in mind a linux admin who is probably far more competent is more expensive.
he just won a bush award. The first person to blame any unfortunate world event on Bush. Other winners are the europeans that sued the US gov after the asian tsunamis for not protecting them.
CNN had free video too. I think what happened was people have faster computers and more bandwidth now so they can send ads over with the video without consuming too much time/bandwidth. It is like wwatching a TV show, you see the ad that pays for the show.
I thought it would be interesting to compile a list of prominent media personalities and show what party they belong to. I won't say if there is a liberal media, you can draw your own conclusions. This is just a list based on what I can verify.

you can download Nokia's "safari" for linux here. It is the GTK port of webcore. Of course a browser is more than a rendering engine, but that is a really big part of it. The reference broser is very simple. Too bad more work is not put into it (probably could build it for windows too)
right becasue bush "banned" stem cell research (as oppossed to stop federal spending on SOME embryonic stem cells) . I would actually like to see evidence of that.
That would be great! If I could move my project to a free country"
only on slashdot. Only here would someone call china free in a thread about having to move blogs outside the country and fear of the repercussions if you are caught.. Amazing.
recatonary comes from those who reacted to the french revolution ie monarchist and the like. Neither the GOP or the Dems are reactonaries since they both have republican (small r) ideas. Its been peverted to mean right wing but thats not what it really means.

wow, ive never heard it articulated like that. Has anyone noticed how when it comes to communist governments like Cuba and china, they get an automatic pass, but if the US is even accused of doing something like "abusing" the koran, all hell breaks loose and USA=NAZI.
my argument was not that the japanese soldier fight to the death therefore the empire would, it was that the leadership in japan was "the japanese soldier" ie they had the same mentality and the people believed in an honor system like the soldier. In the end the people who make up the empire decide for it and if they dont surrender, then the empire wouldnt either.
to understand imagine the Bush administration was led by marines and composed mostly of marines. US marines tend to share the death before surrender idea. Then add on top of that imagine most the population was taught a similar idea ever since they were children and didnt rebel against the idea.

Hmm. I am looking at the verbose text boot screen for OSX and it clearly says BSD and has the regents for University or Califronia text displayed .
aaah the death star .. we are all doomed!
"the newly developed nation of China "
huh?
leave it to CNN to dan rather news.
they probably should have used bittorrent for the release. does anyone have a torrent up yet?

well you can run a native Koffice on OSX without java like OpenOffice. In OSX you just compile with Qt for OSX.

it was probably not a troll, the chinese gov has a dept who's sole purpose is to astroturf. I think we may have ID'd a few agents on slashdot.

you do know that chinese has no alphabet right? just words. besides, it is well known you can defeat these mesaures by putting a "," between the words
