Put another way, in what product categories could you purchase a Google offering instead of a Microsoft offering? Google doesn't offer an operating system product and doesn't offer an office productivity suite.
Recently, I purchased an Apple PowerBook instead of a Wintel laptop. And recently I purchased an Apple iPod instead of a Microsoft-backed MP3 player. Then and now, Google did not offer any competitive products in either of those categories. In other words, Apple was a competitor to Microsoft for my money, but Google was not.
Microsoft don't make Wintel laptops, so Microsoft was not a competitor to Apple for your money. It doesn't matter to Microsoft whether you buy your laptop from Sony or Dell, and it doesn't matter to Google whether your browser is IE, Firefox or Safari.
Try Mac OS X. The whole operating system is written in PDF. Well, that might be an exaggeration, but anyway, the PDF compositing is fast. That's probably why Microsoft is trying to muddy the waters.
Actually I believe the name "X Windows" is officially deprecated in favour of "The X Window System", "X11" or just "X" -- perhaps to avoid potential conflict with Microsoft?
I like "administrate" for what you do with computers, "administer" for what you do with cough syrup.
Verbing nouns can be okay, but is sometimes ridiculous. For instance, he who burgles is a burglar. He who burglarizes is a burglarizer, he who burglarizerizes is a burglarizerizer...
What is popularly called Linux includes a userland mostly composed of GNU software. Therefore, it's not a strange question to ask exactly what parts of Debian GNU/Solaris are different from Debian GNU/Linux.
I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that it's probably not the GNU bit;)
I don't think there is a Debian NetBSD/NetBSD -- unless you would refer to Fink as Debian OS X/Darwin!
They didn't forsee one weapon that could kill millions of people at a time. Should I be able to have one? Common sense says no. The Constitution says yes.
They must have foreseen weapons like "one hundred barrels of gunpowder" though. Does the constitution allow for that?
Can't "just" protect your rights once every 4 years?
I saw a comment someone posted yesterday about Badnarick saying (in the context of voting for the lesser of two evils at the last election) -- "Vote for evil, get evil".
I was close to writing a pithy comment saying "yes but, 'vote for good, get evil' also applies" and asking when Americans actually plan to do something with the right to bear arms they've been so careful to protect.
The question still stands, today even more so. How many tomorrows with news reports like these will it take?
For instance, how many websites are genuinely hosted in the Caymen Islands? Does Slashdot really deserve its.org?
But it can still be useful to go to google.co.uk rather than google.com.
Anyway, the KKK will cease to exist when everyone is brown-skinned (presumably to be replaced by some other means of hating one another). But porn is somewhat longer-lived than that;)
The studios could just take the name of the reviewer, render it to an image through one of those distorters used to make it difficult for bots to submit webforms automatically, change the distortion slightly every frame, and place it, nearly transparent, right over the whole picture. The effect will be something which is easily visible to humans watching out for it, but no more distracting when watching the movie than something like "ghosting" from TV ariel interference. Don't know how well it would stand up to compression though.
First up, Ted is NOT an uninformed old man - he is the reason, along with Bush and Englebart, that you are all sitting in front of interconnected computers.
WTF? So, for example, if it's possible to get from any page in Wikipedia to any other page (through n degrees of separation), you're saying that Wikipedia, if it were "REAL" hypertext, would be rendered on a single page?!
I get an incredible amount of spam bounces in my GMail account -- from somebody sending lots of spam using my GMail address as the From: or the Return-to: address.
I really, really want an option for GMail to record the message-id of all messages I ever send through their server, and bounce any which are returned to me but which they haven't got on record as being sent by me.
I requested this ages ago, and it should be relatively straightforward. Does anyone else have this problem? --

If $10 million can buy you 40kg of cocaine, $250k will not buy you 1kg, for much the same reason.

No, read the post I replied to again. Debian GNU/NetBSD is not the same as Debian NetBSD/NetBSD.

I don't understand. How could the physical layer of a networking technology become the next operating system hegemony?
Does Google Desktop run on Linux?
Just because a media machine run by anorexic women and gay men tells you that curves aren't attractive, doesn't make it true.
Ceren may have put on weight but she is still gorgeous.

This is a good argument against TLDs altogether.

Exactly! Has anyone written AnonymousCowardFS yet?
The bit about Hawaii was only the half of it.
In case it has escaped your notice, this isn't America, it's the World Wide Web [emphasis mine].

1990 called, they want their webserver back.
Why not use Apache + mod_perl/mod_php, like the vast majority of souls in the known universe?
