    Is it possible you do not understand that "um" means "micrometer"??

    Millionth of a millimeter = one nanonometer. I don't think so. One micrometer would be a believable scale. Hard to take anything else in the article seriously with that gaffe.

    Like the Desire Z. Best handset keyboard ever. I still have mine, I still use it, purely because of the keyboard.

    If that was the real reason, then Chrome doesn't stand a chance against Internet Explorer and Edge.

    Rubbish. Google pushed Chrome into the market using tactics surprisingly similar to Microsoft's of old, and heavily subsidizes development using profits diverted from its search monopoly. And _please_ don't now act disingenuous, like you do not understand the definition of monopoly.

    The main barrier is that nobody has found a way to connect electronic circuits to neural tissue in a sustainable way. The body rejects that shit sooner or later.

    Couldn't be bothered to do your research before posting?

    You're a FreeBSD guy, not a Linux guy. Of course you are biased to Apple. Doesn't change the fact that Zemlin is completely tone-deaf. Well, silver lining here: it's high time his incompetence became widely known. Time to put this poseur out to pasture.

  11. Jim Zemlin is a well-known idiot who is more tolerated by the community than respected. He is found of boasting about how he "writes Linus's paycheck". In reality, Jim Zemlin is just a random no-talent enjoying a free ride by being at the right place at the right time.

    Microsoft didn't kill netscape. Netscape killed netscape. Netscape died when they went to release version 4.0 and it was late, and a polished turd that was slow and ate memory...

    After Microsoft had already "cut off [Netscape's] air supply", which came out at trial. Please take your revisionism elsewhere.

    I said then as I maintain now that the judgement was wrong.

    And why should anyone care what a self-appointed armchair expert thinks, long after the question was definitely settled?

  15. Re:Go on then. on Will Linux Innovation Be Driven By Microsoft? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    What killed Netscape was that it was a bloated mess.

    It is a matter of public record that Netscape was killed by Microsoft's illegal trust-making activities, for which it was found guilty and paid billions of dollars in fines. Enough with the revisionism.

    The desktop market is shrinking...

    And so Microsoft's data centers are becoming a relatively larger component of revenue. Linux is by far the most efficient way to run a data center, hence Microsoft's interest.

  17. Your link directly contradicts your claim. The linked article refers to a 2004 conspiracy theory about Obama's religion, not place of birth, which was due to Andy Martin, not Hillary Clinton.

    You should not have been modded up, quite the contrary.

  18. Nice to hear your spin Igor, but Trump and his gang are still on the wrong side of the law.

  19. Some Russians bought ads on the world's largest social network!? HOLY FUCK TRUMP MUST BE INVOLVED! PUTIN! NAZIS! #IMPEACH

    If the ads were partisan (which the general public does not know) and the foreign purchaser did not register as a foreign agent, that would be a criminal offense under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Whether or not Trump is involved is a question that is most certainly already under investigation.
