  5. How British... on Biggest IT Disaster Ever? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Things here in the UK always seem to be thought of as failing or disaster before they're completed. I'm sure we hate success as a nation. We also have a huge obsession with celebrity and magazines that publish how fat celebrities are, or how their lives are in a mess always do very well.

    I say wait until the project's finished before kicking it to the ground.

    Sounds like bad hardware to me. Send your hard disk to me for analysis.

  12. Re:It sounds a loud and accurate message of spite on IceWeasel — Why Closed Source Wins · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, the version of Firefox with Debian has never used the official logo, and the compile scripts contain a flag to turn it off for community builds. The problem here is that Mozilla want to review all code in Debian versions, and given that distros like Debian and Ubuntu are supporting older releases for 18 months - 5 years, it is important that they be able to continue to release patches to older releases, something that Mozilla Corporation seems to be against - I'd say they want everyone on the latest version.

  13. Re:Err on IceWeasel — Why Closed Source Wins · · Score: 1

    Why ever not? I'd love my boss to read how a community facing a problem that in the proprietary software world would have left users without a web browser, came up with a solution to the problem, fixing some bugs along the way.

    I think your boss would actually be more impressed than you think.

  14. Re:Every package is a fork on IceWeasel — Why Closed Source Wins · · Score: 1

    why should they have to run everything by Mozilla? Linus doesn't review each distro's kernel, the GNU project doesn't review emacs from each distro..

    MoCo are being dicks. They're unhappy that Debian wants to maintain older versions of their browser.

  15. Re:I use Konq on IE Market Share Drops to Lowest Level in Years · · Score: 1

    I use KDE, I used to hate it, but switched about a month ago from GNOME - it's just way more consistent (on Debian, at least) however, I can't bring myself to use Konq for anything. It's just awful.. and I don't understand why. Surely, with Safari being free software, there's at least some stuff they can borrow? Why doesn't Gmail work? Why do all the widgets look fscking ugly?

    I'd prefer to use it if I could, especially with this whole Firefox/Iceweasel stuff going on - a nice sign of 'fuck you' to Mozilla Foundation, if you will.

    As an Amstrad CPC user, I am obliged to ask if C64 disk games will still be slower than molasses?

    This is kinda dumb.. but I don't think this is something that Microsoft is alone in. This is just an example of the problems with Digital Restrictions Management. We'll see a lot more of this to come.
