I can only say 'oh damn, another OS', when another Linux distro appears.
In this case, I read the summary and immediatly thought: Mini Tablet EEE PC!!!
It of course needs writing recognition, but if it runs faster than both Windows7 and Linux, with less resources (KDE seems to be a hog these days, nevermind the Vista^w Windows7 GUI), then it is THE KILLER OS for netbooks.
What about Opera with 60 tabs, Outlook, Word, Excel, one VLC (I can't really watch several videos at the same time, sorry), MSN, Skype, Gtalk, VMWare with gentoo, uTorrent, 4 virtual desktops, Diablo 2, Grand Prix Legends, Editplus with about 100 open files, and the occasional Firefox and IE for testing.
All concurrently and in XP. So I don't really know what are you talking about.
The ones who are raised to higher positions are the ones that can be lived without in the position they currently occupy.
That seems to me very much like their level of incompetence. In fact I believe that is in that sense that the Peter Principle is stated: we the good ones, have a very low level of incompetence, therefore we don't really rise.
Only if you drink the Kool-aid. This comes from Gates himself:
Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though, and as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.

Martinez-Conde still doesn't know exactly how microsaccades create the false perception of motion.
Aliasing at the retinal level ??
There's no way to make that test work unless you can make the buyers of one copy unaware of the existence of the other one.
Bah. Slackers.
The Portal puzzles I enjoyed the most are precisely the ones that made me think for longer than 30 seconds.
And no one can say that Portal is bad design.
I have seen people, mindlessly hammering away at the hint button is pretty much what I would expect from 70% of them.
(But as I said in another post, if you don't display that button for 30 minutes no one will try to hammer it, and no one will complain.)
Easy:
Don't show the button until after half an hour have passed.
The people that ask for the button is probably the ones that have invested that much time trying to solve a problem.

It just scream: energy efficient!
And that's good enough for me.
Infrastructural openness is the best we can hope for.
And it actually sounds a lot more pragmatic and less fanatic than a 100% OSS advocate could sound.

That's still the wrong question.

Until they try to install Outlook or Quicken or a new Game or any other Windows-only software that they consider essential.
And then the illusion is broken.
Press F12
Uncheck Enable JavaScript.
(you can then enable it on a per-site basis.)
No plugins required.
AFAIK it's just Amazon.
Besides that, I need the legit version in order to compete online.
And, it could be very good support, or it could not be a noticeable support at all for the company, but is the stablished and legit channel for that.
My favourite game, rFactor, I play with my pirated version.
And I have bought the legal, paid version just because I wanted to support the company. And I show it proudly to my friends.
But having the disc in the tray constantly just damages the disc and inconveniences me.
I think it is too late, and Oracle has beat them in the long term strategy by far just because of this.
I think my own GP comment should be modded -1 redundant.
From your post I can only conclude Firefox 3 *has* gotten pretty bloated.
Not a fault of XP at all.
At least in the racing simulation arena, it's consoles the ones that have a smaller selection of titles.
I mean, there's no equivalent to rFactor or LFS in any console whatsoever. And those games run amazingly well in a now outdated 8600GT.
If you can play HL2 well but playing a networked game is laggy, then disable all performance counters.
Well, it worked for me in XP.
Thank you, I needed to hear that.
*hugs C++ compiler*
Downloading is really self-inflicted advertising.
When more companies understand this, information will flow more efficiently.
(And we will be billed for services and other stuff instead of just the data.)
Well, the people at Google seem to believe that the browser is really enough.
I'm not saying they are right, or wrong, just that people in a big company believe it.
For me at least, if PC gaming is dead, then windows is dead.
OSX and Linux are more than adequate for my Internet and business applications.
AFAIK, in real life you have the crosshair in only one eye.
So, in games it should be the same.
And probably use in the right eye by default.
My 21" CRT can do 125 hz in some resolutions. It's usually at 85 hz all the time.
I just config the game with vsync on and it feels smooth and nice, and fraps tells me that I get 85 fps almost continuosly at 1600x1200.
It's sad (at least to me) that we still don't a display technology with the advantages of both CRT and LCD.
