I'm a bit of a Firefox evangelist, and one of the huge problems I've had is that a vast number of non-technical types don't even understand what a "web browser" is. "Firefox? Uhm, no, I already installed the Internet on my Windows."
The problem is that these people form a large chunk of users, necessary for gaining large market share, but they don't even know that Internet Explorer is different from the Internet. What is Opera doing to get installed on the computers of people with "technology IQs" lower than their ping times? Is market share even a goal to Opera, or would it just be icing on the cake?
Other people have realized that this is just someone's rant on helicopters veiled as a commentary on persistent scoring. The "less mature" potshot he takes only serves to drive home the point that the author's completely uninterested in actually saying anything worthwhile.
If Blu-Ray versus HD-DVD has taught us anything, it's obviously better to have an overzealous, point-missing war over two completely incompatible formats.
Well, I'd love to play his game, Advent Rising, but they won't stop pushing back the release date for the PC version. I'm starting to get quite irritated.
I don't get why people want their phones to start playing "can you take me to funky town" when they get a call.
That's because you, by your own admission, are a geek. For example:
As a geek, I like technology to just do its job. It's a phone.
See, to others, a cell phone isn't just a tool, but a social outlet. Like people who customize their cars (or computers!) customizing your ringtones is just another way to make a mass produced product a little more "yours."
You hit the nail on the head. Ubuntu Linux comes with OpenOffice. But it's not an office suite, because it just so happens to be on the same CD as the Linux kernel.
Slashdot Mirror
it will move its digital archives program to OpenOffice 2.0, an open source implementation of ODF
Wow, OOo 2.0 supports ODF? That's great news, I've been using one of the other myriad programs* that support ODF.
*Note: Said software doesn't exist.
I had to play the PS2 version. I sold my Xbox to offset my purchase of a 360, which won't play this game at all.
Must be nice living in the next generation of gaming.
...oh, wait.
I've played StarOcean: Till the End of Time and Front Mission 4. Both kicked FFX-2's ASS.
The asterisks are wild cards. *n*x can mean Linux or UNIX.
What's with your .sig? It doesn't make any sense without the brackets...
Obviously this "lava from nowhere" phenomenon is a miracle, and proof of God's existence.
Right?
Please don't mod this down. I'm sincerely interested in the answer.

You can do than in Xcode, as well. OS X is like this silly operating system called UNIX, you may have heard about it.
> It seems that the G5 outperforms the Intel lineup on the desktop right now, for Mac users at least.
You're telling me; I bought Tiger from the Apple Store and tried putting it on my P4 Inspiron, and it didn't even boot up.
Maybe those G5 zealots are right, after all.
Yes, mod parent up, +1 Correct.

what a waste of a mouseclick
That's why I browse at -1.
That's why it's called "Vanilla Wine with DirectX 9." Otherwise, it'd just be "Vanilla Wine."
Link?
WiMax is 802.16. It's not intended for single household use, like 802.11.

And we all know that going out of your way to download a modification doesn't qualify as being part of the game. Oh, wait...
The preview video available at the official site features the music of Andy Hunter, a badass DJ.
If that's the direction they're going with the soundtrack (which, IMO, was the only real weakness of Burnout 3), then I'm sold.
2 minutes? Aim lower.
Hello, Neo....Can you help me with my data distribution problem?
I think it's his user name, poorly translated...
