I'm not young enough that you should disregard the above. Yes, some folks won't be rocket scientists(I assume that's what you meant), because they don't care.
Anyone with that aspiration can teach themselves what they need to, go to school or get training, and do it. Especially for that type of discipline(physics/math) where prerequisite knowledge is more important than original thinking.
This is as misguided as studying Einstein's brain.
It is very unlikely that a boost in intelligence or a unique way of thinking is due to a physical brain property.
Brains are just brains, an organ, and most are not that different -- certainly the differences are not the cause of the vast personality and thinking differences and intelligence disparities we have.
No, someone's intelligence or outlook on the world is a combination of upbringing, willpower and education. Anyone could be as intelligent and knowledgeable as they wanted to be, if they wanted to be.
Think bog standard PC's, that can all run different OS's on the same hardware, each with different behaviors.
You'd be surprised at the idiocy attributed to UID's in this place. Apparently your knowledge and expertise correspond to when you decided to make an account, and if you feel that you don't need an account because you only post maybe once a year then you obviously know nothing at all and everything you say is a lie.
Due to the variety of different environments some people will experience problems that others will not. You won't accept that possibility, bur rather blindly defend the product while accusing him of lying. Zealot.
This is a dealbreaker. Software should not updated without your consent or knowledge.
My chrome just updated and I have no idea when, and have not opened chrome in weeks yet it is up to date. It is installed to my userprofile so I get no UAC prompt to let me know, and apparently I don't have to open it for it to update. The fact that this option cannot be disabled is pathetic.
you're an idiot. Pray tell, what motive does he have for lying? I can certainly see zealotry being your rationale for dismissing his experience though.
The fact is OO is shit. Linux is too fucking different. The Ribbon is intuitive, and identical on every single install of office that uses it. Every Linux distro does things slightly differently, without getting into if they use KDE or Gnome or whatever.
The IE9 UI is pretty similar to the rest at the moment.
It is currently the most secure, the only one with hardware acceleration and is standards compliant. Do you have any problem with IE9 that isn't based on your past experiences, which no longer apply? Oh, and they have a 64 bit version. Big plus.

Maybe you're tone deaf or something, either way it wouldn't relate to the point I made above.

Firefox was the first with tabs, Opera had a shitty MDI -- the equivalent of the tabs in Office 97.

This speed is not specific to Linux, it is because it is a new system which has been optimized.
Had they switched to BSD, Solaris, OS X or even a a recent version of Windows and optimized the application, then it would be just as fast.
Sorry kids, thems the breaks.
Why oh why do people have a need to spread reverse FUD and give "linux" props it does not deserve?
No, it's a mistake. Retard.
and not at all stealing.
If you can, look at his further replies. Amazing.
Lol, now you're accusing me of lying. You're too much guy.
Would SELinux not protect against this?
I obviously meant windows, retard.
Mac is a homogenous platform, Linux and Windows are not. Idiot. Zealot.
Better, retard?
Mac is a homogenous platform, Linux and Mac are not. Idiot. Zealot.
Nice comeback, genius

A gathering is not a mob, kiddo.
It's kind of idiotic to ignore AC's, not everyone who wants to contribute needs to have an account.
I wish I had saved my modpoints. Sigh

USian is not a word, retard.
Fuck that, repositories are a step backwards. There is a reason only a few distros use them.
Actually, evolutionarily, the chicken came first.

The chicken would have had to have the mutation necessary to lay the egg in the first place.

Is 64 bit versions of browsers. Proper session management. Proper Adblocking. An extension framework. Configurability.
At the moment, IE and Firefox are the only ones with their head in the game. If Chrome and Opera want to get ahead, then fix what lacks.
I guess it was only a matter of time...but that kills card counting right?
