Good old times. I miss that naïveness... [troll mode off]
We missed the chance to avoid all this mess at that time. We should had ripped off the pants of the SCO for damages, and encouraged the "shareloosers" to sue the management for mischief.
A person can only rationally be held responsible for their own choices and actions, not those of others.
I failed to follow you here.
If I have a son not yet at Majority and the little S.O.B. steals my car, gets drunk and kill someone, I'm screwed - no matter how many precautions I had take to prevent the mischief.
I can not be held guilty of the fact, but I can't deny my responsability on it.
Chrome is eating into Mozilla's marketspace because Mozilla are trying to copy Chrome by producing an inferior clone of it rather than a browser which survives on it's own strengths.
If both are trying to be exactly the same thing, why use the cheap knock-off when both cost the same?
EXACTLY
I was a Firefox user until the day they abolished versions and started to do updates in the Chrome style.
My Net Banking goes nuts, the security plugin stopped working and I endup being forced, AGAIN, to use Internet Explorer (aaaaaaaaaaargh) to pay my bills.
And you can bet your sorry arse I'm pissed off. This stupid decision to go Chrome style forced me to use again that god cursed half baked browser made by Microsoft.
If they're going Chrome style and I HAVE to use IE again, what the heck I'm doing with Firefox anyway? I'm using IE and Chrome now. I'm not satisfied, but the thing works.
Care a lot more about your own network infrastructure and security, and a bit less about the console control and security.
PS3 is open cracked despite all your efforts, and the stolen information (credit cards, for God's sake!) and downtime from the PSN will be a stain (not to mention all the money this costed!) on your image for a long time.
Government is forcing private business to do his job: competes to the government collect taxes, instead of crying "not fair" over his borders.
Collect the tax on the end point, and take the heat for his own decisions.
Sometimes, Brazil do the right thing. Last time I buy something from overseas, FEDEX gave me, also, a tax bill emitted by the government and explained that they only could deliver the package if I pay the tax (money, checks or credit card accepted).
I hate that tax, but Brazilian taxes are MY problem, not vendor's.
On the other hand, if use videogames for playing and Open/Libre/BR Office for working, I don't have any serious lockin on a X86 based Windows on the short run.
Since I do not believe that Microsoft would commit the übber-mistake of not porting MS-Office to ARM platform, the real question is: why I would buy x86 for my small/medium business?
Home computing is not the real incoming source of revenue for Microsoft. The real money are in business clients - big corporations, to be more exact.

Man, don't push it.
It's far more complex to send people to space (and bring it back) than to send them to another point on earth using an airplane.
I'm not saying there was no (stupid) problems on the Space Shuttle, but the damn thing didn't crashed and burn on its first flight!
what you will, and then restrict them to see only the safe content.
It's a bitch, but can be done.
Easier on Google+, however.
I would understand a "redundant" or perhaps a "troll".
But 'offtopic?'
Can I suggest the moderators to effectivelly READ Slashdot a little often?

Or dupe advertising?
(first post, also?)
I never thought that one day I would be modded down for saying that... =D
Shoot the idea, not the messenger!
Phase 2 would not be a problem without the Phase 1 at the first place.

Blame SCO Group.

Shoot the CEO in the head, and you'll get a similar effect.
Nope. The CEO is just another puppet. They're plenty of replacements.

Sue all them. The Oracle company was built on exactly what Oracle wishes to kill off.
here, I fixed that for you...
Why am I responsible for the other 532 representatives that I can't influence one way or the other with my single vote?
Because you live in a Democracy.

Had you ever considered moving to Guam?
As a matter o fact, I did some regular test-driving in the past - it ruined my marriage, by the way.
What? A car? I never owned one...
No?
So why all this fuss?
As I said before, he's not stupid to bash and kill his cash cow.
Given the current state of affaris, I'm afraid he's doing more than I would do in his place.
(I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I'm not wrong too!)
I second that.
Please read further about the guy and what he did in the past. He had never commanded the company - all this patent shit is not his decision.
May I remind you this Steve Wozniak poses with his new Galaxy Nexus at Google Building 44 ?
He still gives Apple a bit of a break: "Apple is the good guy on the block of all of them,”
And I would do the same.
I'm not stupid to bash and kill my own cash cow.
Anyway, I always liestened to what this guy said all these years.
He is a good engineer, but not just it: he likes and encourages good technology no matters from who.
Better safe than sorry.
There's no evidence that his app will not be the next blockbuster neither. I would cope with his preocupations than with your lack of it.
EXCELENT.
It's nice to see that "normal" people (or at least, some of them) are realizing that U.I. is not that marvelous panacea for all the computer problems.
Indeed it makes a lot of things easier. But not all of them, and not always!

eMule? It`s you?
Again! :-)
I think I do.
