What else is new? Gmail v2 doesn't seem to work with Opera 9.5 either unless you tell it to bypass the browser check:

Seems kinda silly that these giant providers can't get with the program.
Ok shocking as it is, we disagree on the previous topic. However, I do agree with you on this one.
I personally like Lisp/Scheme quite a bit. Some of the assembly dialects of the past were a challenge to work with and fun at the same time. Did 68000 and x86 assembler myself, but still fun either way.
For casual business application development, I am sure assembly is not where anyone should be at this point anymore. Still helpful to know it. I tend to favor.NET for client side applications here, and a variety of backend technologies unless some need exists for it NOT to be so.
I would have a similar view on VB as you do on COBOL. At least older VB, alot of extremely messy apps out there built on that!
I've been pretty happy with the direction Firefox 3 is taking. Some really great work is going into this thing. Only thing I've thus far found pretty rough is the new default UI elements, those are pretty hideous at this point.
> 3. OOO is just as good as MS Office
For basics, but then so would Google Docs. Try loading up those crazy ass Excel workbooks you find in alot of companies and talk to me again about this.
> 4. KDE 5 will look just like Aqua
Looking further ahead than the KDE team itself, interesting.
> 5. Gimp and Adobe work alike.
Absolutely NO, just no.
Something sounds very wrong with those numbers, I would check how things are configured. Copying a 17 Mb file taking 20 minutes is way too long. I can copy alot more than that from my 700 MHz G3 iBook with it's inferior HDD speeds to my XP machine on wireless in less than that time.
Problems with file copying, iPod transfers, Safari lag, and "everything else has ground to a halt" sounds like perhaps it's time to get the hardware checked out?
I won't doubt you may have had better results with your Wintel machines, but it's just that, personal experiences. I've personally had great and bad experiences on Linux, Windows, Mac, Amiga, BSD, Solaris. Only constant I see is . . .
Mac guys say a possitive note, without fail a Windows fan will come on and slam that user.
New switch Mac guys many times sound just as ridiculous for their reasons for switching.
Linux guys pop on trying to convince everyone that the world will all come to soon and switch to it.
If all else fails, somewhere in there you just need to throw a "M$" to make the Windows guys feel uncomfortable.
I am sorry but let me ask it bluntly, who cares if you have Mac addicts, Windows addicts, Linux addicts, or any other addict. It isn't of concern to you what someone else chooses to use or trumpet. Be the better and learn to find what the various platforms do well and not do well.

Proprietary? ISO/IEC 23270:2003 Information technology -- C# Language Specification
Does not seem to meet the defenition.
Especially with other alternatives out there.

I would like to think Microsoft reads Slashdot. =)
