That's if you're talking large numbers. There are certainly smaller numbers who are leaving FF in favor of Chrome because of problems with Firefox.
An example would be the old default settings problem in the file handling. If you click on a direct link to a CSV file and specify a program to open it with (e.g. OpenOffice Calc) and check the "always perform this action" checkbox it will work in the future. But if Firefox receives such a file as a header attachment the same setting will be ignored. This is due to a mostly academical discussion over security concerns. The arguments against it may be valid, but what the average user will perceive is simple basic functionality that doesn't work as expected. A few more usability/stability problems and users will look favorable to embracing alternatives.
Exactly. A console is a product that's supposed to stay on the market for several years. OTOH most people don't want to buy a cell phone whose technology is a year older than what the competition offers.
In truch the Russians probably are pissed because he got his hands on some documents without greasing the usual government officials' hands like the rest has to do. A bit like the MAFIAA, but on a whole new level.
It didn't help that the show had been canceled after the 2nd season. And by the time the show was renewed through international investors one of the main actors had already committed himself to a project elsewhere.
^^ Recently watched Due South again. It's a shame that his recurring character actually started out quite serious, but later episodes turned him into Drebin's Canadian cousin ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s9eV2ZBaO8 ).
That would pretty much be the death blow. "West Germany" is still paying to bring the East up to standard, even though those payments were supposed to end during the mid-90's.
Not that surprising. Germany would actually stand to profit a lot if they went on a more isolationist course and instead of subsidizing half of the EU simply pulled out. And once the rest comes crashing down, profit from buying up the pieces. Right now, the German administration's politicians are pretty close to career suicide anyway.
Sounds familiar. The last kernel update just prior to 10.04 suddenly caused serious problems with RTL8194SE chips, leading to kernel panic reboots whenever a user tried to switch between wi-fi and cable connections. Mighty annoying and the first time it happened to me I was right in the middle of a company-internal presentation.
One less toy for politicians to play bullshit bingo with whenever federal elections are around the corner. Back in the day the Bush administration simply took the whole thing too far.
Here's an example of how it's used in the entertainment sector: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhJauu_vB2A Basically linking a 3D suite up to a camera to get motion data, reference point positioning and other information to allow more seamless integration and even low-quality previews during the shoot. It's the technique from "Avatar", which was combined with two-stage motion capturing to make those shots possible ( http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/11/ff_avatar_5steps/ ).
Even with twin-hexacore workstations on the market and using GPU-based processing as well they're still in dire need for more.

People always say he's an ass but I've never seen anyone actually justify it.
If it's true what his lawyer has said about the rape allegations he IS an ass, although simply of the two-timing variety.
You didn't really expect anyone on /. to stay on topic, did you?

Now THAT's what I call service. They're even doing the car analogies for us!

After a while it simply gets boring. One of those "been there, done that" things. ;)

They managed to get gullible fools to pay a grand for a netbook. Business-wise that's a success.

At which stage do we have to prepare for Radscorpions?
* 10.10
And 10.04 was the reason why I put off upgrading the laptop for over a month. The joy of Nvidia graphics.
Typical Linux experience, I suppose.

Many people like the LTS releases for this reason.
Unlike the half-baked release of 10.10, where it was obvious that there was still a lot of critical stuff unfinished?
So what? Over a decade ago we had washing machines and fridges whose GUI was written in Java.
Kinda strange to see someone mention government agencies and "efficiency" in the same sentence.

True. CPUs like that would be a godsend for tasks like 3D rendering (entertainment industry, architectural visualization, ...).
You realize that "good guy" refers to the security expert, not the TSA goons?
