KDE is not a part of the linux OS any more than lightstep is part of the windows os. That's just bananas.
We're not talking KDE + YaST, we're talking KDE. KDE installs on many systems, even windows. What happens when you install KDE on a LFS system or a FreeBSD system or a Sun box? I'm glad you love your packaging system, but it isn't developed by KDE.
It wasn't a 'who has more free stuff available to download/install later' comment or a 'who has better software' comment. Get a life you sycophant, feel free to join the discussion after you lose the OMG LINUX IS RAD agenda and actually read what people write.
Supercomputers have never been a huge market in terms of volume. By your reasons the supercomputer market should have collapsed long before many of us first used a computer.
Let's say you build a large supercomputer that someone buys for an obscene amount of money. Now you hit him with a yearly maintence fee to keep his shit up to par. Not to mention any other types of fees you can slap on customer (consulting, development, upgrades...). This is all depending on the contract.
Now extrapolate a dozen or so of these computers and you're really pulling in some regular cash.
Really, it's not that hard to put 2 and 2 together.
Read what I wrote. I never said it was used incorrectly, I just fail to see the irony.
Aladdin popularized.sit as a mac compression format, it's program to compress/decompress is basicly free..zip is a pc compression format, also basicly free in it's many programs.
How are they competitors? They're two similar tools used almost exclusively on two different platforms.
Again, how is this even the least bit ironic?
Here in the US, you have a greater chance of winning the lottery than catching, say, West Nile disease...
That's pretty misleading.
In the US you probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than being caught in a tornado - but ask anyone who's been in a tornado how safe it was. In the US you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting sick on a ride at disneyland... but for everyone at disneyland that blanket statement no longer applies.
On the other hand, I think that the PS2 has it's lead just because it was the first in.
The only problem with your theory is that the Dreamcast was the first next-gen console to the market, and it failed.
i would wager that any time a program becomes the most used mail reader in the world, it will attract the most attention for things like virii, worms and spam.
not really that hard to figure out. if everyone abandoned outlook and suddenly started using The Bat! or mutt or whatever, they would run into the exact same problems that outlook faces.
I'm really tired of people equating the Matrix with christianity. I think it's a disservice to the movie to compare it with a thousand pages of confused hallucinogenic gibberish.
I'm really tired of people, in a flash of teenager-esque omnipotence, dismissing something they don't understand as worthless.
Mod me troll if you want, I'm not christian in any shape or form, but to marginalize a belief system is pretty ignorant. If you think the bible is 'confused' or 'hallucinogenic' (the bible causes hallucinations? wouldn't that make it really powerful and meaningful?), you really should quit your amateur theology now before you stumble upon anything outside western culture.
This isn't news. It came out a while ago that in their pre-Catalyst drivers ATI had heavy optimizations for Quake3 Arena. Fortunately, ATI seems to have turned thigs around. They are releasing quality drivers on a regular schedule. Drivers that run games (including Halflife) at a good clip.
'Had heavy optomizations for quake three' is quite simple compared to 'half the preformance code'. That's pretty shocking.
As for halflife, my rivaTNT ran it at a good clip. I can't see why you're praising a company for releasing drivers that run a 4 or 5 year old game well.
So increasing hardware sales, and getting massive PR points among the technologically literate don't matter?
Original, legit psx games can already be played on the psx, ps2s, and above average computers.
If you're technologicly literate and don't have one of the three, and rather dish out money for an xbox, solder, a modchip, and invest the time to dump and transfer every game you buy, I'd be incredibly suprised.
So basicly the market is for nerds with shitty computers, who haven't bought either of the last two most popular game systems, and who have more money and time then brains to pick up a $20 ps1.
I'm guessing this demographic could be counted on my toes. You're really, really reaching.
The irony is: *I* will probably be the one marked as a troll.
well, in terms of porn spam, you just link analfistingsluts.com members only backend to some fake addressed/sketchily homed fistingfistingsluts.com signup frontend. now you have this 5-10 meg frontpage hosted with some little old lady in iowa who has no idea about what the fuck is about to happen. if you get shut down, who cares? the only way for spamhunters to find out your real address is to sign up for your services, and no one will do that that yet.
Spammers are currently pooling thier efforts into making 'anonymous for us' proxies. Groups will split the cost of a T1 on a failing provider and spam the fuck out of it for a few days, then buy another one or two.
Seriously though, these people are still sending out millions of spams a day per company.
Who knows? Maybe tomorrow UF will become funny to me.

I'm lucky enough to live in Canada and be able to choose from all the major US networks, the major canadian networks, and the public networks CBC and the BBC.
I can tell you from first hand experience from handling of major news, the US media lacks a certain amount of professionalism. I'm not a 'US SUCKS' parroter, but your news media is incredibly weak.
when a major story breaks out, their seems to be a need to put a sensational headline on it (Heroes in the Sky/Our Nation Under Attack/...) and then play it up in a frantic manner. Once the real news stops, focus shifts to constant 'reaction' updates (Our Emergency Workers, American Heroes/School Children Prepare for the Next Attack/People Still Fucking Terrified of them Crazy Snipers...). I find that american news is more focused on ratings and getting the most heart-wrenching anecdote then actually reporting the days news.
Every peice of news is going to have a spin on it, but in my comparison of all 3 countries, I have to say the BBC is my favorite newscast to watch. At the end of the day I get the most news and the least amount of national bullshit. Seriously, I can't even watch cnn anymore. If its not BBC or CBC then I personally can't stand to watch it.
the gba is not a pocket-carried device, unless you want to walk funny. i'd prefer to cary my gba, my digital elph, and my nokia rather than have one device that does a shoddy job of all three.

Do you want to get started on the path of what window comes with working, out of the box, compared to KDE?
Not a troll, but something to ponder.

deliberately obtuse or just fucking dumb? the jury is still out.
ps: omg ms sux.
well, any version of outlook updated in the last year+ doesn't automaticly exec scripts, so your first point is moot.
if people can't update thier software in a reasonable amount of time, then the blame can hardly fall on the software maker.

What if the Chobits wallpaper is made from an image that he isn't legally able to have modified and displayed?
DEAR GOD NOT ANIME!!!111!!
The legality of the situation just BOGGLES MY MIND. The ghost in the shell figure on my co-workers desk is GOING TO GET US ALL FIRED.
I better go report his Chobits wallpaper now!
