Thats not the only mistake in the article. He at one point talks about browsing and such, but yet mentions Thunderbird (a early version Email Program)
"I did test out some Flash-enabled web pages and found them to work flawlessly as well as any Java applications and web pages (as you would expect from Sun). The choice of Mozilla is good, but I would also like to see them try Thunderbird (it is just a tad lighter than Mozilla and does rock),"
I have the odd feeling this live demo might have been taken for a spin, but overall it smacks of just a quick overview, with no real guts to the test (understandable in some respects, its not an install environment). Still it would be nice to get a proper guts and stuff review of it.
Improve your reading skills. If the criminal is in prison, he cannot go out and commit any crimes, can he? Therefore, crime has been deterred. Any crimes that the criminal may have commited has been prevented.
Whether thats moral/ethical whatever view of it, is another kettle of fish.
No he didn't get anything right. He made wild random guesses and assumptions, and every now and then one turned out ok. The man was dilbert-like incompetent. Or even worse.
He was dismissing the work due to the person doing it was a final year undergraduate. I was merely pointing out, by historical anecdote, that this project has as much change to grow and become important as any other project, and shouldn't be dismissed due to its origins.
4. It's a final year project. Sorry, but this guy's just an undergraduate student, no offense but I find it highly unlikely he can come up with something superior to X, QT and GTK (all of which this system supposedly replaces) in a year of work.
I was under the impression Linus started work on Linux while an undergraduate student?
6. No smooth integration into the operating system. 7. No smooth integration of the window managers.
Granted, im not well versed in the x system, but I would of thought the 2 points there are merely side-effects of having the choice of open-source. Or in my blissful ignorance, is there something I have missed, either agreed on standards or something else which would explain the above 2 points in more detail?
You do realise by your obtuse statement you ironically pointed out what the parents were getting at.
You state that all mac users are elitist, but it really is a vocal minority that you hear/see, and therefore you equate all mac users to that zealotry. Its the same as the problem they are discussing here. 10.2.8 was a major gaff, but all proper evidence points to only a minority of people/systems are affected, yet it seems to all the world that every man and his dog is having problems with it.
So im my roundabout explantion, you actually supported the arguments of your parents, but you could likely be to conservative (for lack of a better word) to realise it.
Read the inquirer article, there are 2 links to other articles outlining why there is possible 64 bit functionality in the chips. The 2 linked articles (from Chip Architect) show with facts and logic why there could be (or is) 64 bit functionality in the Chips.
It might be fud, but there ARE facts there.
Let me see if i can understand this

Is Prescott 64-bit?
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
The "Prescott" has 2 32 bit cores, but the "secondary" core is missing an AGU, among other things, and this is pointing to the fact that most Prescotts have some sort of 64 bit functionality in them, but their keeping their lips shut about it?
So it seems to me that possibly Intel are waiting to see how AMD's 64 bit chip goes, and if its going better as a 32/64 bit chip then Intel's Itanium, release their Prescott with "fully" added 64 bit functionality?
Am i correct in my logic? I can't really follow why they're keeping tight about it.
I hate to tell you this, but the shells of the nuts are going to decay anyway, releasing the carbon into the biosphere. So why not speed the process up, and generate some cheap electricity.
Changing your status after the fact doesn't change the fact. Not realising there was an ad-free mechanism is really no excuse either. So in the end, were both right.
I still think your holier-than-thou. But you wouldn't (and shouldn't) give a shit.

I always thought Valve was formed from the mod team of the original tf for quake 1. Am i wrong?

So the economic and technology of the IT industry in Australia, at the cost of privacy. Yikes.
Thanks for those links. Very very interesting.
How about you give your source for those handy links, as you copied them verbatim from the news post at Whirlpool.net.au.
Please mod down the parent. He blatantly copied off Simon Wright.
Nothing like a good old first post to top off your evening. Night!
Well i couldn't find my kindling pile in the room, because the room was so dark. So i had no choice but to burn my karma.
You fail your failure!
FAILURE! HaHa!
Plus if you light your torch while in a dark room, your bravery stat drops 400 points. Thats a failure right there.
And you FAIL IT!!!

Yeah, that gave me the shits. Diamond Age is a great book, but it stops so suddenly you can't help but be pissed off.

Ok let me ask a more simple question. Would you prefer energy to be produced from nut shells, or coal?
I certainly know what I would prefer.
I hate to tell you this, but the shells of the nuts are going to decay anyway, releasing the carbon into the biosphere. So why not speed the process up, and generate some cheap electricity.
Correct. QLD has a very large macadamia nut industry, as the plant is native and our climate well-suited to it.
I read your above post at normal speed, and understood every word. Odd.
Thanks for the link.
