Now explain what any of that has to do with the "average Windows user" I specified in my first post. Do you really think they'll read any of that?
You just unwittingly shot down pretty much every linux-zealot's arguments that Linux is ready for the desktop.
How often do you read on Slashdot, zealots who constantly spout that "Problem x can be avoided by writing a simple bash script, such as.." or how "That's stupid! If you go to the CLI and type.." is a viable option for the 'average user'.
How about everyone just shuts up for a change, and realizes that both OS's have their various failings. I'm sick to death of reading these inane, zealot-dominated flame wars.
I honestly fail to see how this is a 'new paradigm'. You didnt mention paradigms once in your post, just praised Mozilla.
According to the dictionary, a paradigm is One that serves as a pattern or model. or A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline. Can you please explain what you meant by 5.5 million download being a 'new' paradigm?

Does the person who submitted this have something personal against the owners of the site or something? I hope they know where to send the bill after their server has been reduced to a useless pile of molten plastic.
I'm an Australian, so I'm not particularly sure what the 'status' of the election is/was, but could this mean the result may be overturned? This could lead to undesirable consequences such as new state/country level laws being made defucnt couldn't it? Please enlighten me if it was overturned, as this is the first that I've heard of them.
Cost probably wasn't their only constraint. Although the costs involved in developing such a system would be huge, an even tighter constraint would be time -- NASA (well, "the western world") seems to operate on the premise of "Sooner is better"; features may be minimised or cut completely in order to provide a quicker release date. This is fast becoming the trend in software engineering, with 'big players' such as Microsoft starting to cut features and release bug laden products in order to "please" their client with a quick release.
Aside from being used to reduce costs by limiting the number of astronaut EVA's on the ISS, I wonder if these robots could be sent to the moon/mars? I am not exactly sure of their entire ability, but surely semi-intelligent robots could be built on their framework that could be subsequently used to build bases and buildings on celestial bodies? It would be much cheaper than sending a human crew to do it, that's for sure.

Oh, and how the fuck is the SECOND POST in the discussion redundant?
I dont know, maybe i'm wrong? It just seems to me that most politicians wouldnt really *care* about what platforms their websites are hosted on..
