business isn't INHERENTLY evil - ask the Quakers. Now, I'm not saying that Apple is run by Quakers, but they obviously aren't demons either. Microsoft, on the other hand...
If Clear Channel really are "the owner of every radion station in America" then just what the fuck are the US govt DOING with all that money you give them? Or do Clear Channel just pay 'em off like everyone else?
I think this serves to show what type of person posts on Slashdot. One who has no computer knowledge and thinks posting a comment is like belching up Budweiser and has more time on their hands than sense.
and you're right, the technology HAS been pretty much unchanged for 15 years, which is a fucking tragedy in itself. I work in TV, and legacy technology and procedure has been crippling innovation in our businees for EVER. If you ever wondered why we weren't all watching crystal clear HDTV 10 years ago the answer is LEGACY. Most people are still wathcing analogue TVs that have hardly changed since the 1970s. I say chuck out all the old standards - fit 1394, USB and gig ethernet to our machines and let's get on with it!
well, next time try researching your purchase BEFORE handing over $xK.
It's hardly Toshiba's fault that you're stupid, ugly, lazy, fat and boring. Or indeed that your breath smells awful and you've got a microscopic penis.
kudos to Dell? Apple dropped the floppy FIVE YEARS AGO, and I don't see that the situation has changed much since then. You need a floppy? Get a Teac USB FDD for £30.
I personally like to masturbate furiously while listening to the mellow tones of my personal phone bankers voice. if we had videophones, I'd hardly be able to keep THAT up now, would I?
"Uh, what? Yeah "opening behind" is okay but Safari does that and no matter what, it's not tabbed browsing."
If you need tabbed browsing, you're using the wrong window manager. Mac OSX may not be as good as OS9, but it's a damn site better than anything else (Living products, that is).
I didn't even bother going into Omniweb's other great features like it's excellent page junk filtration, voice control (try it! it actually makes sense), excellent source editor (lovely tag highlighting - where's that in Safari?). Face it - Omniweb is a true 'power' browser - albeit one that's undermined by it's laggardly standards support. It's certainly a better long term productivity aid than anything else I've used.
Omniweb DOES NOT suck. You mentioned the excellent cookie handling (agreed), but forget the incredible page rendering quality, awesome bookmarking system (providing constant feedback on redirected, updated and broken links), excellent window handling (fuck tabs - give me open behind and save window size ANY day), superb form filling (excellent rendering with aspell supported properly and now, zoomed text boxes too).
Omniweb loses out on IE and CSS support, I agree - but MY online banking still prefers it to any other browser, and Safari's timeouts really do BORE me now.
what do you mean? We've got a Powermac G4 Yikes! 400 (the original 400, before the humiliating 50Mhz reduction) which dates from early '99. Our PCs at that time were Pentium III 500s - and the G4 showed them a clean pair of heels in video encoding. 30%, 50%, 100% faster depending on optimisation - and with the promise of rapid clock rate scaling to come - an exciting computer all round.

no she hasn't, my EX girlfriend has the best tits in the world unless... wait a minute! what's your girlfriends name?
oh yeah, manga vs marvel? easy - you can't read a comic while you're driving a Chevy Suburban vs you CAN read manga while travelling on a Shinkansen.
God, am I clever or what?
...is better than ANY American OR Japanese comic. :-]

You're still using the internet? How very quaint! Here, there an everywhere we use direct peer to peer telepathy sans implants.
you do, of course, mean "Windows owns the market". And, by stating as much you're just another MS schill.
I hope that you're proud of yourself.
WHO's in control of your economy?

"Personal video recorder (PVR) Tivo has been pulled out of the Uk in a move which will cast doubt over the viability of PVRs as standalone devices."

that's my source, doesn't mean it's true though!
Fahrenheit? Why would you do THAT? Does this person also measure depth in leagues, do you think? Is Fahrenheit an SI unit these days?
...they've just pulled out of the UK. Don't back this horse, kids.
absolutely

60 degrees!!!!
I thought that the point was to cool the thing!
damn, that'd scald your skin!

"and by the time we got around to the first two, we couldn't find the third at a decent theatre"
Aah... I think I see your mistake! Next time, try a CINEMA.
"Not only is Star Trek your daddy's sci-fi"
Nope, because it isn't sci-fi at all.

How far we've fallen...
maybe the last iteration of the Motorola G4? From great white hope to total embarrassment in 3 short years. Oh, the humanity!

last time Slashdot mentioned any browser stats, IE's dominance was very similar to it's position for websites generally - ie, IE was over 90%.
