Not all of them; mine is doing fine.
As is the beige G3 I still have (apart from an empty clock battery) and the PowerBook 1700 (apart from the adapter which had one of the cables pulled one time too many).
Ah yes, old hardware...
The EU has deadlines for new member states to get some things in order (corruption, law and even the macro economics) why can't a huge country like Russia to do the same
Because comparing a group of nations to one country which recently switched economic model and mindset from communism to "that free thing" is problematic at best.
Not saying that Russia gets a free pass because they had a bad childhood or something, but you can't compare it with Europe. I think their size is actually working *against* them, as well.
Mind you, I have the newer alu keyboard, that really flat one. It's more like a laptop keyboard, so no stickyness there. The previous version (the white/translucent one) is not that bad, but it doesn't come close to the alu one. The cup of coffee I fed mine once probably doesn't help either =]
If POSIX is a subset of UNIX, I'd expect every POSIX is UNIX.
That's like saying "if a rear view mirror is a car part, I'd expect every rear view mirror to be a car"
(See how I nicely worked a car analogy into that one? I'll be here all week!)
More seriously, though: subset means exactly that. POSIX means that the system does part of the UNIX spec, but not the complete thing. Therefore, every fully spec'd UNIX system is also POSIX, but not the other way around. It's not "subset" as in "POSIX systems are a part of the UNIX landscape", which I assume you think the sentence meant.
The session *is* saved, and you can restore it using History - Reopen All Windows From Last Session.
If you want this to happen automatically when Safari starts up, you could install SafariStand, which does this and a whole lot more for free.
As for the memory issues... I don't know which browser uses more memory, but I sure know which one feels slow and unresponsive on my machine, and it's not Safari.
OMG SIGBUS LOL
I wouldn't go as far as to use this data: sillyness to point out a browser's instability, but it is a bug allright. The fun part is that it only crashes with %80 (128 in dec) and higher, when I replace that with 7F it just displays a semicolon.
K, thanks for clarifying that. Of course that also means that the problem is even bigger...
So the wisest thing would be, put simply, to add / split routes, so that we have less "single points of failure". Not terribly likely to happen because of cost, I suppose.
There are a handful of peering hotels that if they were all taken out simultaneously would basically cripple the Internet [...]
Cripple it world-wide, or just in the US?
This is not meant as a "omg ignorant americuns lol" kind of comment, just asking. You could very well mean a handfull of peering hotels around the world.
I was. But imagine my surprise when I started getting 8 mbps instead of the 2mbps I pay for. The speed went back to normal after about a week. I can't think of anything that would cause this increse in speed. But it was great for some time.
Less botnet activity. Or rather, less of it reaching you.
He ended up with a steak dinner for two from the head office for not allowing the PHB to browbeat him into allowing the bug onto the network.
Ah, happy ending then, good.
He managed to bork it so bad it wouldn't boot in less than a week. How in the fuck did he manage that? I hear you say. Simple. He went to Google and looked for "Linux Programs" and downloaded a bunch of crap off of freshmeat and ended up in dependency hell. So now I have him in a limited account in XP
So why on earth did you give him root or sudo privs on the linux install then? I mean, that's the only way I can imagine that Doug managed to fuck up stuff -- it takes root to fuck up booting. With a Known Dumb User, you just don't give 'em that rights, ever.
Mind you, I'm not just saying that it's JUST Windows, I'm not. I totally agree on the several kinds of stupid users (I'd change #3 into "will click anything anytime" and perhaps add a #4 "doesn't read dialogs, ever"). And yes, we WILL see this shit crop up on OS X and Linux once they start to get a serious user base, but I believe we'll see LESS of it than on Windows. I also think Windows itself will improve.
I agree with most of what you say, but I think you underestimate this part:
That is why my business customers and I can run for nearly a decade as admins with no bugs. We keep the stupid people away from our computers. For those of you that can't, I'm sorry
I think a lot of people actually *can't* keep the stupid people off the system, but on the more modern ones allow you to make sure your stupid users lack the privileges to fuck up the system with their stupidity. Some of these systems have been "more modern" for decades, some of them are a bit new to this game. Yes, common sense is important, but enabling the sysadmin to make sure the stupid users don't hose the complete system plays a role as well.
How did the Melissa-loving PHB story end? Did your friend get fired, did the PHB get to talk to Melissa, or did a miracle occur and was your friend able to explain the PHB why he *shouldn't* go anywhere near her?

I'm using Windows, you insensitive clod! (no, I'm not, but I couldn't resist)

mmm, double d.
Only if the user is in /etc/sudoers, that is.
Government have no shame.
FTFY.
I think this situation calls for a solid, heart felt *woosh*.

I wonder what that guy is doing now...
Last thing I heard he was leading the Windows Vista team.

Ah, so Linux is like terrorism, then? =]
Here's one.

AFAIK, the latest MacBook has an Intel processor, therefore it meets the requirements.
I could be wrong, of course...

Nice. Webkit is based on KHTML, and there's no way to get a Linux build.
Sure there is, and that's just the browser that's been named in the comments on this article a dozen times. Also, this.
Not natively, but SafariStand allows you to do this, amongst other things. And yes, it still works under Safari 4.
This real billg rant has already been posted on Slashdot over half a year ago.
K, thanks for clarifying that.

FTFY. The general populace doesn't give a damn, they'll just follow the rest of the sheep.
That's nice, but the sheep are stationary. The sheep like the status quo.
So you lure or force some sheep over, and the rest will still follow.
