Which programming language helps you write (and maintain) useful code the fastest?
Which programming language COMPILER helps you compile code the fastest?
Which programming language COMPILER produces the fastest binaries?
Three different questions about performance. Only the first one is about "programming languages" per se.
I find that I can whip up a prototype program faster in PHP than in C (using PHP in its command line mode). But C binaries run much faster than PHP scripts. So it depends on whether I want faster development time or faster execution time.
MacOSX is also pretty hard to install on any machine that it didn't come already installed on.
That stops a lot of potential users from trying it out. Apparently you have to buy special MacOSX-compatible hardware - it doesn't just work "out of the box" with standard PC hardware.
Plus that one download could be used to install an unlimited number of computers, so even counting people that complete the download might not be correct.
Plus there's people like me who download multiple different releases of multiple different distributions just to try them out, or to use them on servers, but still use Windows on the desktop.
Plus there are people like me who use Linux 100% of the time on my laptop, work desktop and home desktop - but all of those machines came with Windows pre-installed, and counted as Windows sales.

You can also uninstall the .NET update with an Ubuntu CD.
Removes a few other Windows vulnerabilities at the same time.
And speeds up your machine.
I recommend it.

we used to take our wolves out to county shows, as they're socialied and enjoyed meeting people
I knew there was a reason that Slashdotters don't run with the wolves.
Not comprehensive.
It misses some major suppliers of pre-installed Linux boxes in Australia - e.g. Pioneer Computers and Kogan.
So even though we could've designed a better Space Shuttle, because of the limitation of Roman war chariots, the boosters are not optimal.
Damn those Romans and their lack of foresight!
You mean like this?
Scroll down to "Operating Systems" and choose between Ubuntu (+ AU$0) and Windows XP (+ AU$89) and Vista (+ AU$189) or Vista Ultimate (+ AU$349).
That is how Dell, HP, Lenovo and all the other vendors should be selling OSs. That is how a *free* market works.

"...your Mustang won't start because it needs a new distributor cap."
Communication is 90% knowing your audience.
I don't have a horse, and if I did, it wouldn't be wearing a cap.
Human sacrifice, cannibalism, savagery, pillaging, raping, - ... let's try to do better.
Try? Try? The law courts would like you to do better than "try".
"There is no 'try'. Do - or do not." (Yoda)
America = roughly 5% of the world's population.
American religiosity is not the *world* norm, no matter how many American statistics you quote.
I don't have the need to be out late every night in a desperate search for pussy.
You should keep your cat indoors. And anyway, they attack the native wildlife if you let them out at night.
(What do you mean "Slashdot nerd"? I don't understand.)
I could see more clearly what was going on if they just cleaned off those two little black specks in the picture.
We just unbolt them from the ground and they fall into space.
Well, it's well known that anything not bolted down in this country just disappears. It's been a mystery up until now. Thanks for clearing that up.
I thought Buddhists believed in reincarnation.
... my truck that looked like a bomb.
Yeah I've seen plenty of trucks like that too. Maybe you should buy a new one, then the police wouldn't be bothering you.
Police are probably just afraid your truck is going to fall apart on a busy intersection.
Great idea...
It's like Big Business saying "National Parks are not in use, so you should sign them all over to us..."
Yeah. I often like to wander through the unused areas of the spectrum admiring the peace and quiet.
FireProcs, of course!
Oh BTW despite calling them bird-eating spiders it's rare for them to eat birds.
As in "scores of 'bird-eating humans' descended upon a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet..."

If one thing exited people
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means...
That's what you get for traveling on an unnamed airline.
Well there must be a big market out there for an unnamed airline. Think of all the anonymous cowards on Slashdot that would use it.
As well capitalized and run as Apple is, they'd clobber Windows.
Under-capitalized: apple.
Over-capitalized: APPLe.
Well-capitalized: Apple.
By gosh! You're right.
Our buttocks muscles are perfect
Informative indeed.
!?!?!
You're very clever, young man, but it's no use -- it's turtles all the way down.
Down to what?
Just give me the 1s, and tell me where they go. I'll fill in the 0s myself. :-)
Hmmm. That was a silly move.
