Delphi IS 800 pound gorilla in all the places where decisions on tools are taken not exclusively by suits (based on journal ad sizes) but by developers too. And I'm not even mentioning single-developer projects like most shareware and stuff. Reason - you named it.
Actually there was one incident when the ship lost the air through a micro-crack on re-entry. All three men have died. T'was long ago (early 70s?) and since then they (well, we, me being Russian) put just two people there instead of three but they wear sealed suits (akin those used for spacewalks).
.. is the lack of _good_ alternatives for _personal_ computers.
Linux (and any other developed Unix) is way too complicated (too). Period. I, personally, have spent many, many man/months trying to find my ways (and that pays off), but well - one's time is not a renewable resource. You don't take a multi-user server OS (by nature) with GUI that's running over sockets and make it.... Uh, whatever. Move along.:)
I'd say it's Windows that's loosing out. From day one it was clear (for me;) that Windows is *NOT* in any way a good gaming platform. I am (used to be at least) a great racing sims fan. And I tell you - all of them for Windows suck without exception. I mean when it decides (and it does) that it wants to swap a piece of RAM you DO get a lag (a split second) that is enough to break your rythm and plant you into the wall or sand. I believe other games are similar. And we are not talking about times when it decides that that popup window requires your urgent attention.... And hanging... And (much) higher HW requirements (compare w/ consoles)... No - it does not make a good gaming platform. You need a bare metal or realtime for that. And no again - Linux is usually no better here, sorry.
But why do they have to make them of that stupid size just to fit the word "Image" into it? Breaks layouts like nothing else:-| If an img tag has sizes specified why not use them leaving blank space? Beats me.... Ahh... A minor issue anyway.
"But ultimately, Hurd concluded, Opera and other Microsoft competitors would do better to support the technologies that the market-leading Internet Explorer browser made available, rather than focusing on industry standards."
I don't know who this Hurd guy is but he is stupid, don't you agree? If you think some feature is cool/useful you standardize it. That's how it's supposed to work.
Having said this - standards compliance may be _bad_thing_. Example: earlier Opera's have been happily ignoring many "cache-me-not" headers/metas. Now they are taken into account. Guess who's using them most? Good thing, I use Proxomitron but many people do not. At least that should be an option (ignoring "no-cache" instructions).
One more issue - does anyone really need "no images at all" mode in Opera? I could've been more happy if I could switch between "images"/"cached images" without that third mode (which is badly broken BTW, IMHO). Anybody thinks the same?

All in the favor of banning them, say "Hey"!
"a country in the midst of a volatile conflict with a growing nuclear weapons program ..."
That's US, right?
Here, here....
And don't you even mention card punchers. Nowdays they are just horrible.
Any such software?
Just one note: GUI/CLI debate is not about speed but (as I see it) mainly has to do with task automation. Which is virtually non-existing w/ GUI's.
Sounds like a great demo of Windows troubleshooting algorithm.
Wow... news for me. But "Total Commander"? Sounds shitty. I would've advised the guy to rename it to "Linux Commander".
... they should call it just "Internet 7".
Also helps building the user-base.

Add to this SQLServer, Office programs and that leaves you with... what?

Easy to develop?!?! Oh, man... You SO don't know what you're talking about.
What are the odds? None. In fact, isn't it the core of the idea: "not to share"?
In other news - Julius Caesar stabbed and died.
Anyway - for how long 1.1 draft has been out?

The question is how much real are all these users?
Yes, you're missing "a consumer gene" :)
... if cops have nothing to do except listening to other people's phone talks.
I wonder who will ultimately win?
Or better make it this way - for how long peer connections will be possible?

Someone please mod that up!
(And yeah - several OSs based on some nice standard would've been great).
