Yes indeed. If Internet Explorer 7 has full support for XHTML, CSS and PNG, none of which it has right now, then it's actually a good thing for web standards. It means we can finally develop web sites and never have to think "wait... will this work on IE?" If it validates, ship it. If it doesn't work, the user can damn well get a browser which supports the standards.:-)
Can you name one game nintendo released that was on the top 10 games world wide?
It's a bit retarded to ask such questions in an environment where there might be people who actually know the answer.
Pikmin 2 was on the top slot for several weeks in a row, and there were at least two other titles through the course of the year which were at the top slot, and far, far more in the rest of the top ten. If you want I can get a complete list.:-)
And yet with all that theoretical graphical power, they still fail to maintain image quality as good as the GameCube in pretty much every game available, bar a few exceptions.
What if the particular gene you're trying to screw with is the one which you need to screw with in order to cure something like cancer? Is that still bad?
It's not like there aren't several open source message queueing systems around already. But then again, you can't expect Slashdot to notice such things.
Native-looking, yes, but portable? Not likely. Qt gives you an environment where you develop the application once and it works with less effort on the other supported platforms.

Use IE7 The Script, perhaps, instead of waiting for IE7 The Browser.
I guess it depends if all those users also find sites which don't work with that default, installed browser. :-)

Mouse gestures suck. I think I can live without those for... about... forever.
It isn't IDN that's broken, it's users who don't read carefully before clicking a button.
Definitely should be Tau, but oh well... I suppose that might just be part of the whole troll.

I suppose you could always put some of your own copyrighted works on the same hard drive. :-)
I know. People who post slashdot stories really need to remember to use the tag.
Step 1: port to Qt, so that KDE users don't have to use a shitty GTK app when they could be using something which looks native.
Mostly, no. But quite a few people certainly have. I'm sure it would still happen with any new buggy browser they can cook up. :-)
Unfortunately not. Junk mail is worse, too, since there is no way to automatically filter it.
You forgot the bit about firing Rick Berman out of a cannon. :-|
What about chips like Transmeta's Crusoe? That doesn't exactly run like a ball of fire.

Whether it's super-cool or not, if it infected the computer with viruses as often as IE did, people would eventually stop using it.
Right. And what I was trying to say is that thinking in such a way cuts out a significant portion of the market for your application.
"Commercial" doesn't really give the right impression. The distinction they make is simple, you have basically two choices:
Native-looking, yes, but portable? Not likely. Qt gives you an environment where you develop the application once and it works with less effort on the other supported platforms.
MS Office is rarely compatible with MS Office, when the two aren't exactly the same version...
One combo box on even the shittiest consumer routers. :-)
I thought it stood for "Eighty Megs And Constantly Swapping." Maybe I'm thinking of something else. :-)
