Windows memory management gets better with every version (bar possibly Vista). Plus they're obviously going to be better supported. You just have to remove all the guff.
Opera, still the best browser, is nowhere. Firefox got a ton of free media publicity, had zero costs and made a dent against a vastly inferior browser. Chrome, which is spyware, is only making progress because of the marketing power of Google Search.
It's not as simplistic as 'MS abused monopolostic powers' but they did and the internet was twisted as a result. Webmasters still have to code for broken IE 6.
Also, as a capitalist, I have to say that your belief in the 'invisible hand' is naive at best.
Doesn't sound like we're talking about the same system. As I understand it:
No court can get involved until after a de-anonymised statement is published along with the signed complaint.
Secondly, it's not up to the webmaster to reveal the anonymity. The anonymous commenter may simply choose to have the statement removed and go post it somewhere else.
If it's defamation then there should be a right to reply and removal if the defamed wishes.
If it it's not a complaint by someone who is defamed, it can be ignored by a webmaster who understands what defamation is. If you don't have such a webmaster you can either reveal yourself or allow the removal.
In Britain, we have a blogger called Guido Fawkes who used to be quite powerful, publishing inside stories about MPs. If anonymity was given immunity to defamation laws, he could call someone a child abuser with impunity.
anyone can make the accusation and force the poster to choose between the ability to be anonymous and the ability to communicate.
No, only the defamed can, and their complaint must be made public. Though it will be up to the webmaster to protect their anonymous users against spurious complaints.
It's cute for me to join in with this Big Bang Theory discussion (the first series before they all got laid).
I've never felt any real desire to join the navy but men also seek adventure, honour and glory. There are many Hollywood films glamourising naval life.
You also imply that men plan extensively, or even understand their sexual drives. I suspect an average man's sex drive can be satiated by sex eg with a prostitute once every two months. The problem for most unmarried men is that they get used to frequent sex for a few months and then have dry spells lasting over a year.
I personally find the thought of shagging a robot as creepy as necrophilia. But I suspect I'm in the minority.
Well Firefox isn't spyware. Nor is Opera which would win any speed test involving an actual user.

Intel Drops MeeGo
·
· Score: 1
I've been seriously thinking about getting a N900 2nd hand as it's easily the best thing out there with a keyboard.
Intel dropping support makes me worry about its longevity but I guess the N900 wouldn't last > 2 years anyway. Maybe the prices will fall to the point where it's worthwhile either way.
There are lots of rumours of management at ATI trying to cut corners on individual chip development so that their chips come out cheaper but slower than nVidia. I don't know if this would acknowledge that they can't keep up, that the innovations are going to run out leading to easier designs or merely bad management opening the door for another newcomer.
Two main reasons: 1. British Aerospace have almost as access to the PM as Murdoch. 2. The PM and defense minister were Scottish ministers ordering jobs for Scotland. They were also Labour ministers, spending money like no tomorrow 6 months before Bear Stearns needed a massive bailout.
Am I the only one still convinced that tablets are a fad? Apple could make any form factor, call it iBlah and fanboys will buy it by the truckload.
It's not that $100 is a throwaway amount (throw it in my direction if you disagree). It's that the device is ~80% off. Even hard-nosed geeks know they're getting $250+ worth of hardware there.
What can you do with it? Browse the internet as long as you nearby wifi and don't want to write anything. Watch a film that would look better on a big screen. For both of these, you need to prop the damn thing up or worse yet, carry it.
If an iPad was at all serious about being useful, it would have pen-based input.
For any competitor wanting to compete with iPad, design a form factor that isn't a big, heavy slab.
Even if my first point wasn't true, the supply-demand curve is a kinked oligopoly curve. If you undercut Apple in any threatening way, they'd simply cut their own prices. So there's no point anyone bothering.
Want to type something? Sorry one handed virtual keyboard only. Since you have to carry the device, hope it's something short you're writing.
Want to make a call? Sorry we cut that feature.
Want to watch a film? Here's a wedge for only $30 so you can see the screen properly.
iPads only sold because Apple fanboys will buy anything made by Apple.
Smaller devices are the new PC ie a 'platform' that can make a company $tens of billions.
It's interesting how great Nokia were only became well-known after they became Microsoft's bitch. If they sacked the CEO and went public about how it's all a bad idea and they're going 100% Meego, they could maybe start to eat market share.
Symbian is dying. Apple, Android and Windows Phone are all corporate platforms that a lot of people feel dirty using.
Whereas Meego had the interest of real developers. The best OS on the best hardware.
As a hypnotherapist, I hypnotised myself to not notice many of the flaws of Avatar 3D and perceive it as if I was there.
Opening scene, flying over the forest: my jaw dropped.
Within about 10 mins I was feeling massively nauseous. With all the panning, it was exactly the same phenomenon as motion sickness. The relatively frequent jumps in perceptual position didn't help either.
Took me a good hour to get my head past those. I had to close one or both or my eyes during that time in order to not actually be sick. But throughout, the 3D effect persisted and the film was made 10x better because of it.

Win2k was horrible if anything broke. Couldn't get in, couldn't access the file system etc etc.

Yes you can choose other social networks that none of the people you want to socialise with use.

Zoom zooms images as well and has done for 12+ years.
They recently converted it from a dropdown box into a slider.

Google has been trying to do this for how many years now?
The value in Facebook to users is ability to communicate with all their friends. How many of their friends are on Google+?
Whilst I think Graph API means G+ could be a better FB than FB, FB can probably block G+ from it.
I've never had that on Opera, used every major release since 3.60.
Opera does allocate a lot of unused memory to itself. That's by design. It also releases it.
The last rendering engine was one of the buggiest. There's a new HTML5 one coming, Ragnarok, which should be much better.

It's not meant to be better than 4x MSAA. It's meant to be faster.
FXAA seems to be faster still but needs to be implemented by the game developer rather than merely the drivers.
Not true. It does not include comments you've posted on others' walls, on groups etc.
Thirded. WoW is pretty but dull - apart from the battlegrounds.
LOTRO is much better, with less mindnumbing quests in a universe we know and love.

1. Run from any fight.
2. If #1 fails, it's because you were ambushed.
