That's not strictly true. Google was the default search in both the browser and the search bar even back when Mozilla was still an AOL project. A deal certainly developed afterwards, but the primary reason is one of quality. Not everything is about the benjamins.
It's a pity that these comments will probably be overlooked because you're an AC, but both this post and its grandparent are spot on. Thank god there's some sense in this thread.
Maybe if the Open Source movement had succeeded in preventing their brand from being diluted to nothingness by the "technical" press and subversive third parties you'd have a point, but "open source" these days means nothing more than "the source is visible". For guaranteed rights to use that source, you're wanting Free Software (two doors up on the left).
This is probably the most divisive article I've seen on Slashdot this year. I can't believe that those losers who haven't actually heard of TPB are so vehemently denying that this article has a place on the site. Although I'mnot surprised that most of them joined after me.
That's Zonk officially plonked. The only possible reason for duping your own story within the working day and adding a bleeding disclaimer at the end is to show off how pretty Politics is.
For those who haven't discovered it: It's in your home page prefs next to the topic ratings radio buttons.
You seem to think that the people involved in this kind of work are at least as talented at hiding their plagiarism as 20-year-old CS students. They are not.
See further up-thread, where StarMessenger loads its adware using some fifteen-year-old deprecated 16-bit function call. These are not kernel hackers.
Errr, no. Serenity might very well be the best thing ever created, but it's not on a small budget. Part of the reason Firefly was axed was that it was extremely un-cheap to produce.
You're obviously not really in the UK. Theatre? Those are things with live actors, dear.
I'm getting the torrent. If the film's as good as Kevin Smith is being paid to say it is, I'm sure I'll have no problem shelling out to watch it again at the cinema.
This is idiocy. KDE is a great many things, but usable is not one of them.
KDE exists to be a superset of all other projects ever created. With the release of version 8, Opera finally has a sane UI, which leaves Konqueror roughly as usable as Mozilla Seamonkey. Less if you have to change any prefs.
I wish there was a "kool-aid" moderation category. There's no real way to reply to this except "you don't know what you're talking about, please try stepping outside for a few days", but I'm not going to pussy out and mark it Overrated.

What retard modded this up? Seriously.

It's interesting that you have this in the "impossible utopia" column. I don't have to pay for health insurance.

Could whatever KDE fanboi modded this up hang their head in shame, please? GNOME is about as lacking in i18n support as I am lacking in toes.

Oooh, lovely cracky mods this evening. HE DISSENTS! SEIZE HIM!

You have been trolled. Well done. Did you vote Republican last November to stop Ward Churchill from being installed as President?

What utter bullshit. So government servers shouldn't run Apache or use published crypto techniques in the name of "security"? You have been fooled.

TFA clearly states that postgres is supported, so it might be worth clicking the link at some point.

The one some ten-year-olds did with a zero budget. It was on here about four years ago.

Personally I found it rather shallow and pedantic.

You are. Gothdot is two doors down. Goodbye.

keep using that abbreviation. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Yay!

I've had mod points coming out of my ears for months, and now's the time I don't have any?

Ubuntu runs in this mode by default. No mp3, no Quicktime, no DVD.

Politics really is pretty though.

Whoever modded this funny should take a long, hard look at themselves. And never tell jokes again.
