Because people fear change! A few years down the line everyone will have one or an iGlass. Personally I can't wait to have a go.
I've scanned the comments on here, given that a lot of opposition seems to consist of tinfoil hat wearers and conspiracy theory nuts (admittedly/. is a bit of a self selecting audience for this kind of thing), I don't think Google have too much to worry about.
You are best off asking this question on the mailing list/irc/whatever of the community you want to contribute to. They'll know what needs fixing, and nurse you through submitting a few patches to them.
Yes. I suspect though if ever google started to abuse the power then an alternative space could gain prominence. This probably acts as a motivation to keep google honest.
I may be wrong but I think some networks replace the google controlled market by default with their own offering?
Of course with Android you always have the option of getting software from sources other than the main sanctioned market. Unlike a certain other smartphone OS I could mention.
Whilst not perfect, the TV series was still hugely superior to the film despite it's Dr Who-esue budget. I think saying "it's hard" is just an excuse for poor film making.
To be fair the way this is installed is the same as it being invoked by a linux init script. It required root acess to install it. If you get root on linux you can do equal harm as you can with root on the mac..
Yeah.. I could write a bunch of distructive shellscripts. But
#!/usr/bin/bash rm -rf/*
Isn't an OSX/BSD/Linux vulnerability is it? It's just a shell script. The worrying thing is when you have some way of penetrating an OS's security to install these things.. The desctruction isn't the hard part gettin in to plant the bomb is.
"Radio 1, the UK's most listened to station" Yeah right! For the sake of our national dignity I would like to point out that radio one is only the third most listened to BBC station:
station / Share of listening % BBC Radio 1 8.0 BBC Radio 2 16.2 BBC Radio 3 1.1 BBC Radio 4 11.0
Actually, I agree with you about that sequence, swapping glorfindel for arwen at that point was accecptable really.
But the wasted time I was reffering to pertains to the extra scenes already added in the Two Towers, and no doubt in Return of the king. The impression that Arwen is crossing the sea, and aragorns whole seqwuence before going to helms deep added very little and they're wrting in pointless extra plot to raise Arwen's involvement whilst they cut in other areas of the original.
Well, much as I hate jumping for the obvious bait.. Lots of us already think mozilla is better than IE, and Phoenix is looking more usable still. Say what you like about IE loading quickly (except on macos which makes most believe that most of it is memory resident in windoze anyway..) but I wouldn't give up my tabbed browsing, popup blacklisting and easy customisations for the world. Maybe one day IE will be as good as Phoenix:)
Yes galeon IS amazing. This is what can happen when you can use oneanothers source code, the mozilla team write a fantastic rendering engine which leaves the galeon people to engineer an amazing UI. Long live the revolution:)
And if anyone mentions IE around here then pah! I have to use IE at work and at home I have Moz & Galeon & lynx & links and I think that the first two have definatly surpassed IE and the second two don't have to becuase they do their own thing. Oh and Konquorer is quite impressive as well. Basically with a choice like this why does anybody bother to ty and tell (linux, bsd etc) users that IE somekind of wonder product, when I think it's being left far beind. IMO. Sorry this has got horrably off topic and ranty, I am going to go have a coffee........
That is such a trollish thing to say. Mozilla si amazing, konquorer is nicew for people who choose KDE. Making all athoratitive statements like that leads only to flame wars and not better browsing.
Konquorer for windows could be a good idea but Mozilla is already there and personally I think it's all you could need (except possibly galeon!).
Slashdot Mirror
Makes Perl 6 look a bit rushed :)
Are both quite good, as they names suggest these are Perl modules though.
Who's that clip clopping over my bridge?
Might want to wait until there's a teensy bit more malware before safely being able to safely deploy this broadside :)

Yes I totally agree.
*checks* mine is working just fine thanks.

Just to point out, emacs doesn't need X.
Sounds good to me!
Given that it's based on WMV won't it be possible to hack something up which uses the mplayer firefox plugin?

Their only tracking it once you log on.

DO you not find operas UI over the top? It always feels like using M$ word to me, although perhaps it can be pared down a bit?
Yeah right! For the sake of our national dignity I would like to point out that radio one is only the third most listened to BBC station: Source rajar
Surely..
grep
sed
perl
find
xargs
Should be added unless you really like unnessasery finger excersise?

Glad people agree with me about the irrittating love story inflation. Why add so much when you have to cut out a HUGE portion of the actual book?!
Yeah but an x.x revision system is so confusing, far better to handle subrevsions the microsoft way!
Windows 95 version a
windows 95 version b
windows 95 version c
windows 98
windows 98 second edition
See thats far less confusing.. Especially if you want to find out say, if you can use usb, it's like umm 95 c. See, yeah that was simple..
