Firefox had one critical feature a year before Opera did: It was free. For years, Opera had been "that browser you had to pay for (or get advertising with)". That kind of stigma stays with you.
The arctic ice cap has ALREADY displaced the amount of water it currently contains. Melting it would have no additional effect on sea level. I, for one, welcome the removal of that troublesome ice sheet up north. For too long, the Suez and Panama Canals have stifled global competition. Just think of the fuel savings!
Good thing we don't have to worry about all of that ice covering Greenland and the Antarctic displacing ocean water... oh. Wait a minute.
Last fall I did a Google image search for Jessica Lynch. There were no pictures of her, although Altavista and other sites had plenty. The reason is simple: Google's image spider hadn't run for a while. I suspect we're seeing the same thing here.
I wonder how GNU-NBC would report the story? Something like "Is Windows dead? Linux is the overwhelming choice of users replacing their pre-installed operating system."

"Parrot" is the development name for the internals of Perl 6, notably the interpreter. See, e.g., this explanation. Any similarity to a certain April Fools joke is probably intentional, but isn't to be taken literally.
There is no virtual machine. Code compiles straight to a Windows.exe. And according to a MS press release dated June 26, there's an "inline c" method to allow you to program straight to the underlying platform. So give up any hope for "write once, run anywhere".

'Cause I wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation to name it "Amazon Prime".
If it were named Amazon Prime, wouldn't it be faster than the regular Amazon?.
I'd mod you up if I could.
*whoosh*
Delphi pools in John Brunners "the shockwave rider" predates asimov.
Only if Brunner also included a time machine.
"Hmm. Perhaps, I should of used the preview function." :^)
Hmm. Perhaps, I should have used the preview function.

I saw the movie twice; the giant drilling rig goes in right next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
I just let it propagate via Microsoft Outlook.
Whu? Adobe has patented CMYK? My eyes! My eyes!
(Somebody's going to have to explain to my copy of Corel PhotoPAINT, which happily does CMYK, that it's violating an Adobe patent.)
Or Worth1000 (Photoshopping: it's not just for Fridays anymore!).
Five light years; you forgot to factor in the round trip.
You only use webmail? You don't use an FTP client, or a chat program?

I think you were going for "escargot".
