>Microsoft has "Facebook sized development money" and it took until IE 9 to get a good browser out of them. Google has a lot of development money too, and Chrome has its upside (besides reporting everything you do to the Google mothership). Apple has even more money, but they aren't spending it on browser development.
And I disagree. Mostly because i have used a Atom netbook for 3 years, due it being the laptop for the class I attend in. Its basically a school computer, and you get a rental contract. It was also a year ahead of the countys county level rental of laptops, so my juniors got Dell i3s with good build quality on rental, and their juniors got Lenevo Thinkpads with i3s and good build quality. So yes, back to the post. Its a singlecore Atom CPU at 1.6 GHz. Nice, portable, and slow. IE9 works by assuming the GFX card of the computer is lightning fast and that the user wants to use 1-3 tabs. Chrome works by assuming either hardware accel is ready, or that the computer has a old desktop CPU(Pentium4/Athlon64 or newer), and the user won't attempt to load more than 2-3 pages at the same time. The browser is basically too slow and partially locks under load, but at the least the scrollnig on the webpages is smooth. Firefox is the slowest mess of a browser I have seen. Opera was basically perfect. Could load multiple pages at the same time, no tab limit that i reached, Turbo as a free proxy, and lightning fast. The only downside was that it only worked the first one and a half years, because the school was stilling running its own net. After that they changed to the regional net, and it was incapable of fetching the proxy list properly nor able to authentic(Opera has always had some problems with proxies). On the third year the school shifted them over to the counties system, which meant that Opera was also unable to get access to net while on the schools net.
Its just that the Antitrusts against Microsoft has not properly been done. In Europa they can't even make such a deal. In USA? Apparently they can, due regalatory oversight delux & fascist laws.
What scares me is that we need more people who do not accept bug workaorunds as a natural solution. Pentium has bugs with math,? Workaround! Entire OS API is undocumented? Use it anyway! Etc. Somebody robbing me? The police won't help me! While its a problem, for something like GNU/Linux and Windows, they are proper OSes, stop assuming they are running on "OS Alpha, the unstable".
Its not a good calculator either: Compare a scandinavia sentence with a number in it with Same text with the number written. This clearly shows us that the XKCD scheme is more than good enough. And we can still add in things like spaces, underscores instead of spaces, and replacing letters with numbers.
Well, a "common" dictionary is still 200-300 words. And you can also use the name of a pet. So that is a X variable that is fairly large. So basically we have 300*300*300*300*X, and X is most likely larger than 500. Its still a lot of passwords, and then we have the spelling mistakes, writing the words as their litteraly are spoken, and a lot more. Just replacing e with 3, i or l wih 1 and 0 with o is just more noise to the pattern. Basically: XKCDs multiple word scheme is secure enough if its long enough. Just like normal passwords.
Image if this was not a server park, but rather something a bit more close to life: How about a normal convenience store? The FBI barges in, confiscates something, but never identify themselves nor do they show the appropiate papers and confirm them. And then image what would have happened in 2-3 "lawful citizens" who knows what a citizens arrest is, and have been trained for it. I image they would have attempted a arrest, for it looks like attempts at burglary and property damage.
Then again, most of humanity never "evolved" to live long enough to experience cancer. We can't evolve a measure against it before it starts killing 90% of the population before breeding age.
The problem with sieverts is that its never used to a large enough degree that people can recognize its size. A example of a almost universally known unit: Seconds. 3600 is a hour, 7200 is 2 as some might spot, and anything over that people have no idea about the amount of time it amounts to. If i say 22 680 seconds, people have no idea about what amount of time that is, beyond that its a lot of time.
No, we will not. Fragmentation is a issue for the pseudo super user. Its a major problem. But instead of fixing it, lets hide it: Force a popular OEM to ship everything with Ubuntu, and require the BIOS/UEFI to be 100% working(ACPI, power management for the hardware, no "special drivers" for the GPU, etc). And then let the marked share start sky rocking by itself. Fragmentation will disappear over night, because when a distro has reached critical user mass everybody will start ignoring the niche distroes, effectively killing then. Fragmention fixed and gone.
Why? The assumption of a omnipotent "creature" with power to alter reality at will is one large assumption. Assuming its shape is just one variable of a guess.
I rather doubt that. Think about it: When was the last time you ever saw a human who truely understood just how much of a difference there truely are between 10^n and 10^(n+1)? Or how the square contra cube works..... If you have a extremely great understanding of how scaleing of gigant mechas works, you might point out that the amount of muscles contra amount of bones changed contra size changes proporationally. Linear measurement is also largely irrelevant to people. A day is eternity, but several days is just a unit of time. A hour is eternity, but a month is a rather fixed amount of time that will pass. Its also might be related to that the greatest problem of any task is to start working on it, but that would be dumping a hypotese onto a realwork phenomena without any research.
Flashing is a activity that is not to be done. It is a sympthom of a manifacturer and carrier leaving its users to the wolves, instead of doing a proper job.
Well, we who have quite the time to adapt genetically to the lack of sun for half of the year, I guess we suffer less from a lack of D3 than people with ancestry that is mostly from around equator, where the day night cycle is quite stable compared to our yearly changes going from permanet night to permanet darkness.

Indeed. Mod up.

Which is also why its allowed into Apples App Store, because it does under no circumstances execute any script by itself, its just streaming it.

The majority is in upper middleclass and is married?

Getting a new account and transfering everything is always a mess. Its hard to do. Human nature at its best.
A lot more, but publishers don't work like that. Just see the vid, there is a lot of truth in it. Just getting it founded from a publisher would most likely result in it getting clausules to include things that in in the "current most popular franchises", which may or may not include a joke about "The cake being a lie".

Mod up.
Just use the top 300+ most active torrents, and remove the clients internal limitations to make sure it does not choke itself. Could be fun.
>"The ongoing collapse of the European economy"...
I don't think you know what the word "Keynesian" means. Sweden is doing fine.
But what if I want Opera?

As far as I know, ZSNES is still the fastest emulator on Windows. What is it written in? x86 assembly.
I actually agree with this one. Just getting a normal mail thats not printed is so rare these days, that it usually means its always read.

Still, where?
