Where are all the Einsteins who want to be on the cutting edge for the Government? Well, I can promise you that no Einstein is working for DARPA or anywhere else in the military. There's a reason he wasn't in the Manhattan Project.
Many existing add-ons work fine with Firefox 3 but haven't been checked by their maintainers. Solution: override Firefox's compatibility check for that add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543
Will Wright has explicitly stated that they tried for lower system specs so people won't need to upgrade their machine. And now people say they're lying when they announce low system requirements.
They said Visa users needs significantly more RAM than XP users. In other words, they recognized the very point of your criticism and adjusted for it.
Everybody here already knows Vista sucks. We don't need to hear it again at any flimsy opportunity.
When I first read this, it sounded so strange that I was unable to conceive it in any meaningful way. Then I got really high. Now it seems self-evident. It may not be genuinely insightful, but it sure is fun.
Sorry if someone already said this, but here's what I think: All you have to do is write a patch that gets in *once* and you can forever brag about how your code is in the Linux kernel.
I don't understand how these things work. Can someone explain to people like me what this "recommendation" means in the immediate sense? Does it get rubber-stamped? Are there further hearings? When will the guy *actually* be disbarred?
Back when Gnutella and eDonkey were king, all the Simpsons episodes you could find had all the commercials in them from when they were recorded. It was a slight annoyance to have to manually skip over them, but I do remember laughing at commercials I hadn't seen in a long, long time.
I point you at NeXTSTEP. You can see the dock does just what you say. Apple did not invent the dock for os x, it was invented before windows 95 by NeXT. Others may have older references where the NeXT folks got the idea. Windows 95 caught MS up (almost) to NeXT, and got them ahead of Apple. I also got into computing at that time so it has special meaning to me. I'm not sure if you get my point. I don't care who invented it first.
You'll note that Apple's bar at the top doesn't show you a list of open windows (or programs or anything). Until Mac OS X added a new "bar" (at the bottom, you'll also note) you weren't given any indication of what was open.
I hate Microsoft as much as anybody here, and I think they stole from the MacOS, but I also happen to believe that "great artists steal", so to speak (please don't construe this as calling MS "great"). I don't care if stuff was stolen, I care about the end result. And Microsoft added some improvements - though the MacOS was still better overall at that time.
Apple, for absolutely no fucking reason, won't let you navigate many things with the keyboard in their OS that Windows will. Apple makes something wonderful and then restricts you from using it in any way other than that which they imagine to be the most "natural" way. They're a prime example of placing philosophy over reality (idealism over materialism, in philosophical terms).
Microsoft sucked at it, but their goal of usefulness for an interface over perfecting the "humanity" of it pushed them ahead.
Actually if you had done the research... Don't get pissed. I was just criticizing a flippant dismissal. If this story mattered anymore in Slashdot terms, I'd encourage people to give you an Informative mod:-P. So be merry.
Walt Disney, the gentle genius behind Mickey Mouse and Disneyland, loved and cared about almost all the peoples of the world. And he, in turn, was beloved by the world... except in 1938, when he was criticized for his controversial cartoon "Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors".
Back in the last related story, lots of people were asking what kind of capital (in not so many words) Microsoft would gain by purchasing Yahoo or a part of it. This story should remind those people of the answer to their question.
Microsoft is not thinking about income in any sort of immediate sense. Microsoft, from the very beginning, has made sure to have a central presence in whatever the center of PC technology is at any given time. This is a continuation of what Microsoft has done/been since it's origin, not a case of looking for immediate revenue.
Sigh... Just because my point was pedantic and so maybe uninteresting, do you *really* have to give negative karma for it and encourage people not to read it? Do you really think you're contributing to Slashdot this way?

Really, it was a rhetorical question. I was making a point.
Great artists steal. Forget how much credit the games credited creators deserve, forget if it counts as plagiarism...
All I want to know is, is it a good game? If so, I applaud them.
Now all you pirates will have an excuse for downloading your Windows XP disc image.

This summary was a little bit longer than most. I guess it's to be expected that some Slashdotters would skip it.

You realize that Panther isn't anything like "forever", right? I'm talking about the MacOS in 1995, and at least up through System 9.
Jesus, I already took a long shower after I sort of praised Microsoft once. Don't make me do it again.

How about right before Mozilla was released?

I fail to see the dichotomy between collectible and nostalgic.
You implied that he's in high school. That's all I commented on.
Actually, if you had bothered to read the summary, he's a 16-year-old college student.
