  1. The web must cater to Apple on Is HTML5 Ready To Take Over From Flash? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I still don't understand how Apple can not include flash but then insist the rest of the web change to cater itself to their non flash products. Pretty arrogant if you ask me but again that is nothing new.

    Love that Saturday Night live sketch.

  3. Don't they know they just need the book? on How To Grow a Head · · Score: 0

    They just need to borrow my book called "How to get a head in Navigating"

  4. Personally I love IT on Confessions of a SysAdmin · · Score: 0

    But for some reason I my brain is wired for it. I love that there is always something new to learn. The way that everything connects and communicates the fact that there are multiple ways to do one job some being better than others and discussing with co-workers from around the world which solution is better. The thrill of being on the wire and bringing disaster back to normality. However I do believe I had more hair when i started better vision and a smaller waist line.

    Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ? That sounds preposterous to me. If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this. Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft. Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible. I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

    You obviously don't understand how a PC works. I can assure you my laptop running Linux has no Microsoft applications running on it. The BIOS takes car of half of the what you said and then it hands things over to the boot load in my case GRUB. MAC is not using Microsoft and Intel they are only using Intel hardware. They realized that the dev cost and comparability was better using intel.
