You ramped up the price to make Windows run and now look for excuses? Well, I think I'll root for Asus EEE (10" machine looks really really good as a replacement for almost all of the functions people's desktop and laptops do, but even 7" is not too shabby either). Bonus points is that by default it's KDE oriented as opposed to evil GNOME on OLPC/XO.
I never ever had sound breaking/stuttering in WinAMP for example. I do occasionally with Amarok. You know what - I don't care a tiniest bit. But people do.
... what about all those X1100 and similar in all these notebooks? And pardon my ignorance - are there already good, reliable, full-featured drivers for the likes of 9800 etc?
A serious question: how would Unix/Linux systems be immune to this kind of malware as they become more and more popular? Well, apart from lesser incidence of users running as "root" and more varied binary landscape (which would make it just a tad harder to spread executables, but still i386 exe linked against reasonably fresh glibc will run on majority of linux systems, right?), well, apart from that I don't see how one cannot make a linux spam-sending bot or whatever that would run every time a user logs in. We currently brag about linux being more secure and virus free but how much of that can be gone when illiterate users start prevailing?
Now that GSM politics is out of iPhone/Touch, can we please have an SDK for it? I mean - it would be a kick-ass PDA. I would've buy that in a beat over anything WinMobile.
Wanna know how to save your company? Just solve the quality problems and sell TX at $150 or less. You'll still have a ton of profit on them and these things _will_ be selling like hotcakes with proper edutisement. Including a decent pair of headphones wouldn't hurt.
I wonder - amongst 16-bit "real mode", 16-bit "protected mode", 32-bit mode, 64-bit mode - how many different instruction kinds / opcodes a modern x86 CPU supports?
I didn't think I'll see the day when browser crashing on something would be a newsworthy item. We - the industry - have made improvements in the last years I guess.
Yeah, like there's no graveyard (or hall-of-fame if you like) of technology... Amiga, NeXT, etc... Myriad of Linux distros are really or virtually dead now too. It's just that we forget about it and move on. Ubuntu, SuSE, RedHat, and of course Microsoft don't have the magic shield against becoming obsolete too.
Well, the now retired POSIX "subsystem" on top of NT kernel did yearn some proto-POSIX certification a decade ago. I wouldn't call _that_ Windows though. And as for why I'd like it (POSIX specs) is so I can code against it and hopefully FreeBSD, Linux, MacOSX, Solaris etc would be able to run it AOK. Standards are good.
Now can we have POSIX specs publically available (free)?

I own a shitload of self-recorded DVDs (and CDs) around this house so I do care. Damn - one could write the whole Ubuntu repository to a single DL BR disc! Ain't it cool?
Also - you can store all Bleach fansub episodes so far on a single-layer BR disc. Etc.

$SUBJ. Can you please drop that agreement with you-know-who so we can kinda like you again.
Well, I hope your company has better programmers/admins than Google has.

Ubuntu. (Will they please switch to KDE as primary desktop?)
You laugh but Windows indeed blocks some operations when no password is assigned. So - no password sometimes may be better than crackable password.
Most of benchmarks are on 32-bit code. Can we at least start considering that as "legacy" and use AMD64 when performance really matters?
... well, a new search engine will inevitable come up then. Google's algorithms were not _that_ great anyway.
Who the fuck says anything about gaming you fucking imbecile drooling idiot?!?!
No, they use X.Y versioning scheme and are at 10.something currently ;)

Sincerely yours...
I hope they would think about the children and peer connections will be not possible. All we need is a solid corporate content provider to user lines.
:( ... why not just switch to IPv6 finally?
Seriously though
Tabs or no tabs but Opera had an MDI browser back in ~1994.

What would _you_ call them?
... we are all slowly but definitely becoming inbreeds. And it shows.

And you know - I hated and still hate Java but I'll take a Java applet over flash/silverlight any day.
