I'mfollowing close behind you - I've been doing some designing and tinkering for around 5 months now and have only just released the source code on the Internet. I had the website there a couple of months before the code was ready to put online. I've got some demos of what my project can do, and people can now download binaries and source. I'm thinking of what to do next... it may involve a Wiki or moving the source to somewhere more central like Sourceforge (as I already have an account there).
Agreed. All security holes should be fixed. I realise that with the testing effort involved in large projects that it may not be feasible to get the fixed product out instantly and may require waiting until the next planned release - if the problem is a small and unknown-to-the-public one.
If it's a problem that people know about and could be serious, then I think it should definitely be fixed ASAP.
I'd say it's more like requiring websites to be available in HTML and CSS rather than some proprietary format.
ODF is an open standard, as is HTML. You can read about how to parse/interpret it on the Internet, and anyone with the time and know-how can write a program that reads/writes it.
Hopefully more office applications will start supporting ODF, just as all web browsers support HTML.
Are they really competing with Microsoft at this point? As far as I can see Google offer replacements for an increasing amount of desktop software at the moment (Word processor, Spreadsheet, Email, Calendar, Photo management, IM, and various browser integrations such as their note-taking plugin for Firefox. That's a bit more than Microsoft has to offer at the moment.
OS X is my operating system of choice (with Ubuntu coming a close second). I like C# as a language, and the.NET framework is pretty good. It's not ideal for everything (I often fall back to Perl for handling text, and I prefer PHP for web development), but I like it (although I'd love to see deterministic garbage collection).
I've never developed desktop software for OS X, but if I was to do that, I'd probably go with Mono and Cocoa#.
I have my bookmarks available in every browser, and can sort them in multiple ways, and search them.
I use Firefox when using Linux or Windows, and I mainly use Safari on my iBook because it feels faster. I do have Firefox installed though, purely for the Firebug extension.

I thought I'd never hear that phrase. In fact, didn't Ballmer say something completely to the contrary?
And with a DS3 connection, he can access seven of them simultaneously!
You mean this Bob ? /ducks
I don't see how this looks like a PR stunt. Making ODF an ANSI standard isn't exactly making Office Open XML more popular is it?
There's a simple wizard that helps you get rid of BITS. You can download it here

Yeah, and as an idea or implementation, SCO should have a patent on that business model :-)

Yeah, because your email address is automatically sent to spammers when you view pictures/videos online.

If you don't like it, you don't have to watch teh Disney.

If Sun "debuted" it, where are all the good photos? We want to see it!
I thought it was Summer of Code.

I missed a few including Remote Desktop Client for OS X and Virtual PC for OS X.
Office, MSN Messenger and RDC are still available. MSN Messenger had a recent update which includes compatilibty with Microsoft Office Communicator.
Not dead yet.
What would you think of if I mentioned Samba?
In this age of social networking and Web 2.0, is your Google ranking as important as it once was for driving traffic to your website?

That would read better as:
"In Socialist Serbia, Jadar contains Kyyptonite"
(AFAIK, Serbia was never a Soviet state, but was allied with Russia)
A religion is:
"a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sect"
Surely the belief that there is no god is still a belief?
s/Windows/Internet Explorer/ - let's see more people switching to Firefox
Any way that's on Apple hardware.
