That is completely irrelevant and an argument that's unheard of for systems where you can replace the software, like PC's. Of course, none of Apple's products really fall in that category. Fortunately many Android phones do, which is why they have such great third party ROM support and communities surrounding the scene.
That's cute. The Desire was released months before the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S1 was released a few weeks before the iPhone 4. At least get your facts straight.
Oh, and my mother-in-law's phone is running Android 4.1
Last time I checked the average Apple buyer was more susceptible to "upgrade mania". Except that, in fact, they don't get the top-of-the-line hardware they were expecting. And that at a premium.
The iPhone 4 was already obsolete when it came out, as the specs were on par with competing phones that had been released for months already (like, you guessed it, the Desire). The fact that it's still working for you doesn't mean a thing. My mother-in-law still has a Galaxy S1, which does what she needs and is just a bit too slow for my tastes, though I'm a power user.
I never said that it can't be true. I'm just saying that this study of itself can in no way be used to support a claim that using IE saves you money. Simply because this study only measured a tiny subset of the total cost of ownership of a software package.
True, but GP does have a point. What if the scheduler really has some inefficiencies (IE bugs that need fixing) that only MS' devs know about? But let's not go down that rabbit hole.
I fail to see how using IE over the other major browsers yields a net saving. Power usage is only one factor. And it still remains to be seen how objective this sponsored study really is, as MS doesn't have the best track record in that regard.
Not a Windows person, but in Windows you can do + + ESC to open task manager and then click to kill the offending process. Explorer will also restart automatically.

Interesting. I (lazily) tested one of our servers for this vulnerability using the script provided, and it wasn't vulnerable. I only later noticed that our Plesk version is not affected. Did you test yours before patching?
Are you kidding me? Define "more neutral", and what politician is in your opinion "more" neutral in such a way that he doesn't make biased statements?
So you equate uttering my belief - that for example my religion is the religion God wants us to follow - is hate speech?
Yeah, and when a mayor is jailed in North Korea for things which are not considered "protected speech" in that country, will you act the same? Or is it that you, personally, find that it is OK to put someone in jail for 10 months for what Erdogan said? Which, by the way, I don't find "extreme" in any sense. It's metaphorical. If a metaphore is hate speech because it contains words that correlate to military/war, then the saying "being up in arms" is equally hate speech.
Exactly. In every other case I would expect a full thread about freedom of expression, or at least one +5 (Insightful) comment. I don't see anything of the sorts here.
In every other scenario the Slashdot hivemind would be up in arms about someone being jailed for using their freedom of expression. I guess that doesn't apply to Muslims though.

Oh surely not, because

It doesn't matter whether you believe they have a reason to screw you over. What matters is whether they believe they have a reason to screw you over.

Yes they are allowed in most schools of jurisprudence. Anyway I wasn't interested in useless arguments such as this.
My comment was not intended an an argument for or against. I was just curious.
I'm sure nobody here's interested, but here goes.
In Islam, insects are prohibited as food. Locusts are an exception (the only one AFAIK), so they may be eaten.
What about the other major religions?
Well, to be fair, SVN branching is a big pile of Canis Merda
They could make IPv6 addresses as artificially scarce as they wanted, too.

And isn't FB chat XMPP? Meaning it has interoperability built-in?
I, for one, welcome our new vengeful feline overlords.
