Dunno about everyone else, but I regularly use Windows 7 beta, OSX 10.5 and Kubuntu with KDE4 and XP is starting to feel a little long in the tooth vs all of the above.
IANAL either, but as far as I am aware, if you don't license your software, your users cannot download or install it as to do so requires them to make a copy.
This is fine for an old NES game where its always used off the original media but on PCs most people expect to run stuff off their hard disk.
Probably even dafter . Neither is finished, so you don't know what extra logging or debug they're running (well, with Linux you could but you probably can't be bothered).
You also don't know how tuned they are - the dev teams may not have finished all the performance tweaking in the beta, so yes, you get some numbers but unless you want to run the beta in production they are meaningless when it comes to production.
To be fair to TFA though they acknowledge this and are pretty clear that you can't read much into the beta numbers.
We already have a pretty decent, well supported Webkit powered browser with a reasonable userbase. I'm not really seeing google bringing anything new to the party.

I used to run 5-CURRENT at uni. That was a little more excitement than I needed. Lately, 7-STABLE has been a similar experience.
Like it or not, Muslims are more likely to kill in response to perceived offenses against their religion
I hope you have some numbers to back that one up.
If you're a moderate muslim and you find that offensive, then you need to do two things
Unless you have some figures to back it up, Im a moderate atheist and I find it offensive, as I do all forms of racism.
get over it, since free speech is a right in the U.S.A.
Indeed it is, but as far as I'm aware the US has laws against publishing defamatory statements, and presumable laws against inciting racial hatred. Like I said, it would be good to see your numbers.
and therefore you're likely to find offensive speech living here, or on the internet
And when I do I challenge it.
secondly, you should be decrying the violence promulgated by extremist muslims in the name of Islam. Part of the problem with moderate religionists is that they give cover for the extremists under the umbrella of "respect for religion". If they want their religion to continue getting respect, they need to police their own.
That may be true, but MacOS X on the same hardware has all of the eye candy and none of the glitches.
That said, my KDE 4 desktop flies along quite nicely on my overpowered desktop, but then that's to be expected. The only problem is the occasional graphics glitch when menus or windows are popping up - looks like uninitialised memory being made visible before it's been written to. Not a major issue, but it look sloppy and that is the issue.
If only it was. I really don't get e-voting. Why do people insist on using these highly complex, extremely expensive systems when the simple approach (write an X in a box on a piece of paper) works well and has done for hundreds of years, in the UK anyway.
That's really not a question worth worrying about given that the questioner is already running Windows. If you're going to run that then you kinda have to trust closed source.
Personally, I didn't ever get around to finishing my personal audit of he Ubuntu code - I realise I lose some geek points there.
"In the past six years, there have been no production outages at the London Stock Exchange, and the new systems running on Microsoft technologies are critical to maintaining this 100 per cent reliability record."
Lets face it, nobody uses Ogg/Theora (Netcraft confirms it, Ogg/Theora is dead etc.). Nothing (except probably Gnome) supports it out of the box, so most people don't know what to do with it. The BBC would be crazy to use such an obscure format for iPlayer.
In my experience physicists don't make good programmers. They get by on small stuff to model their particles or prove their research, but you wouldn't want them building anything big.

You can't blend an Windows, its not free software.

Or does it STILL kill the box every time it receives a fragmented packet?

It is kinda odd that we're all used to using fibre for digital audio, but no for video, which requires more bandwidth.
Absolutely, they've made the GUI more responsive without affecting computational performance on the same hardware. This is good work.

I agree with most of what you said, but you blew it when you got to Sharepoint. Now fuck off back to Microsoft PR and leave us in peace.
Lets face it, nobody uses Ogg/Theora (Netcraft confirms it, Ogg/Theora is dead etc.). Nothing (except probably Gnome) supports it out of the box, so most people don't know what to do with it. The BBC would be crazy to use such an obscure format for iPlayer.
Or is that dead now?
Of course, but it would appear otheres haven't
Yes but equally, I could sell it for $100 a time without the source quite legally. I'd just have to give you the source if you asked for it.
There is definitely a business model there - the average person doesn't know their way around a compiler so the source is of no interst to them.
So the license "hate" between BSDL and GPL is mostly one way only, from BSD-fanatics.
That is completely not true. Both sides have their share of fanatics. Whether or not RMS is one is irrelevant.
That's not really what he said though is it. And you're right, using the same framework for the same class of product does make sense.
For totally different classes of product you need to pick the best tool for the job and stick with it for that class.

Which is fine, because I suck at physics.
I thought spider bots were used to maintain ventilation systems? Or have I been playing too much Deus Ex?
You gotta give those guys credit for planning their retirement:
1. Introduce Millennium bug
2. Wait till 1998
3. Become consultant
4. Fix millennium bug.
5. Profit!
The man has never said anything sensible, well, ever.
