Colleges and such (mainly science departments) were using HTTP in the 1980's. This of course influenced a couple guys to make Mosaic. The rest is history. No they weren't.
Trolling I am sure, but I'll bite as you have been modded up a little.
Nice strawman argument (and off topic). No one mentioned any opposition to this in the article, or so far in the comments. There are certainly some kooky people out there with some strange religious beliefs, but it isn't biblical. Your story about how you have 'dealt' with some fundamentalists is regrettable. What they told you isn't biblical either.
As for your silly jump to Iraq: Here ya go from the liberal gods:
I guess you heard about Mick Jagger rolling his eyes as he sang 'Let's spend some time together' (rather than "Let's Spend the Night together") on the Ed Sullivan Show back in the 60's.
There is this thing called an 'off switch' and, failing that, circuit breakers. That reminds me of my parents trying to control our TV and NES time as kids. Our TV was a fancy multi format (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) model. It was a german TV, so you had to have those electric plug adapters to make it work in the US.
My parents would go somewhere and take the plug adapter for the TV so we couldn't play NES or watch TV (we didn't have cable anyway, so TV sucked). They thought they were so clever with that system. I would just go to the kitchen and take the adapter off the old coffee grinder and use it.
heh
More on topic, I don't let my 2 year old watch any TV. She has only seen a few minutes of baseball on TV.
--Remote Desktop: Check. Not as slick as the Windows one, but doesn't lack for anything important. Are you talking about Vino or Vncviewer or what? In what way is there slickness lacking? rdesktop and/or krdc don't provide the fancy drop down bar to minimize/disconnect from TS servers while in fullscreen mode. And maybe it is too hard to create rdesktop shortcuts rather than just saving.rdp file from mstsc.exe.
The situation is similar among wireless developers, almost 30% of who use Microsoft SQL Server compared to the 20% who use MySQL. What is a wireless developer? Cell phone companies? Programmers who use laptops?
But several tech trade groups and companies... Business Software Alliance (BSA) -- praised the sponsors for reintroducing the updated bill. If the BSA is for it, I'm against it. They are by definition anti-consumer and anti-business (not named Microsoft).
Many TV manufacturers have been pushing 1080p. They have even showed images of sports and TV shows to show off their TV's great picture. However, the fact is that it is very unlikely that anyone will be watching any sports in 1080p in the near future in the US. Television content producers have spent millions upgrading to HD gear that will only support 1080i at the most and 720p as the top progressive scan resolution. They are not likely to change again to go from 1080i -> 1080p to benefit the few folks with TVs and receivers that support 1080p. As others have pointed out, 1080p isn't even supported by the HD broadcast standard.
The only sports you will seen in 1080p will be some crappy sports movie on Blu-ray.
...and was pretty much sunk by the middle of 1999, leaving some people with worthless equipment... As I recall, the DIVX players could also play regular DVDs. They just cost more than a regular DVD players because they had the modem and other components to facilitate DIVX service.

As for your silly jump to Iraq: Here ya go from the liberal gods:
Bill Clinton calling for regime change in Iraq to end their WMD programs
Gore talks about Saddam's WMD plans
So I guess Bill and Al are also liars. Clinton should praise Bush for not being a wuss and doing the work Bill (or Bush 41st) should have done before.
Thanks

That's OK, nobody reads Business 2.0 anyway.

Sounds exactly like the CueCat.
Which, of course, sucked. One article about it from several years ago said something like:
"It fails to solve a problem that doesn't exist."
Why do you think it was disabled by default and later ditched? Intel was forced to make the changes because of public outcry due to some ugly PR.

This has bugged me for awhile.

Another 'innovation' borrowed directly from Opera (version 5 or so).
You said 3dfx, but you meant SGI. How would 3dfx code hurt them? They own all of 3dfx's assets.
