it will probably help the next generation wireless p2p (isp-less) internet develop quicker by providing more incentives to abandon the old commercialized censored malware advertising ridden cess pool that is the current interweb, so that's a plus
if there is any clever code in IE, microsoft probably stole it from open source
and the only place where every single watt counts is on your electricity bill, and not only because it is probably one of the few places where individual watts are actually counted
keep in mind that to run the IE OS you also need a vurs checker running
as much as i'm a linux fanboi with no sympathy for microsoft i have to call bs on this one
you don't need a virus scanner in windows and even if you have one it probably won't save you anyway... hardened IE security settings and disabling of plugins should be sufficient unless you're into warez and porn, and if you're dumb enough to click on links in unsolicited email you deserve a good infection
on a different note, lynx would be way more power-efficient than IE:)
just because accidents don't always happen doesn't mean they can't
it's also funny how when people read "kill thousands of people" and "nuclear plant" in the same sentence they most likely think i'm referring to some kind of nuclear explosion... these are the people that haven't been in nuclear construction
i could walk into any family home and identify a ream of hazards... i could fill a large book with hazards at a decommissioned nuclear plant, with a decent chapter on radiation
there are plenty of idiots working in all sorts of dangerous environments, and some are never involved in or cause any accidents... this also doesn't mean they can't or won't, or that there are any fewer idiots
dumb luck has no doubt saved large portions of humanity on more than one occasion
real women cook steak for men who program by cutting down trees, chewing them up into pulp to make their own paper and punching holes for other real women to validate and run as programs

does this mean you're narrowing the list of possibilities from "thousands of companies" to a mere 500? i feel like i've been ripped off
lol... no i think he meant google
ok... so name a fortune 500 company that has 10,000 windows licenses?

To me it smells like crap. I could be wrong, but the smell is awful.
will you stop shitting in your pants... seriously dude... you'll only be away from your pyewta for a couple of minutes
they're just trying to create a "green" browser and latch onto the government environmental innovation funding tit
how much are you losing elsewhere in lost productivity, insecurity, virus infestations, etc, because you are using IE
IT support contractors are doing quite nicely
then they would use linux and save real money
such as....?
It seems to me like you could have twice the cooling surface with a cube instead of a triangular prism.
i'm surprised they went with a mere triangle shape
cubes are lame... apple should have gone with a hypercube if they really wanted to push the boundary of nerdism
i imagine you could shape one of these into a triangle shape... http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/10/dyson-air-multiplier-review-lovably-overpriced/
if they were designing a case to be physically cool (rather than for aesthetics) it would look like this... http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/thermalrights-computer-case-is-all-cooling-all-the-time/
might make a nice porta-potty... there's even a hole in the top for you to shit in :)
What company is stupid enough to pay for 10,000 Windows licences?

what makes you think i was talking about a nuclear detonation?
get a clue
Python
any language where indentation is part of the syntax is gay
real women cook steak for men who program by cutting down trees, chewing them up into pulp to make their own paper and punching holes for other real women to validate and run as programs
it shows that women are attracted to shiny things rather than cool things
now now don't be so sexist... women loved brushed stainless steel fridges, which are cool in more ways than one :)
i've never used it, but the name sounds shit enough
but then again a lot of things that are even remotely connected with linux have some weird names
