Someone designing an open-source product doesn't need a flashy website - all they need is an informative website laid out in a sane fashion. Too often, open-source projects have only a couple of lines of text on their site that doesn't come close to even explaining what the software does.
We've seen enough of your government's actions over the last few years. We don't trust your government, legal system, and especially your idiot leader. As far I'm concerned, the UK should tear up the extradition treaty to the US.
Fuck them and the horse they rode in on. I will never buy an Apple product, and I ensure that the company I work for buys nothing from them either. Could have used used Apple servers... bought IBM. Fuck you Steve and your pathetic attempts to compensate for your tiny penis.
That's because a lot of that is organised crime. People investigating organised crime tend to be killed. Much easier to chase (more or less) innocent people.
The whole thing seems a little odd to me - people mostly brag about how quickly they can work in emacs/vi. When I'm programming the editor is pretty much trivial due to the fact that I spend 90% of my time thinking rather than typing anything. Give me decent syntax highlighting for whatever language I'm working in and I'm happy. What's the big deal?
Delist their servers, don't even give a link to their site for searches. Give a link to the competitor if it's legal to do so. These idiots should be taught a lesson about what happens to companies that start stupid lawsuits.
As far I know gmail is an AJAX app, so maybe it uses ActiveX for the XML request in IE? It certainly works just fine in Firefox where there is no ActiveX.
Well, it won't look ok anywhere without testing. CSS and JavaScript vary wildly (IE is the worst by a long shot, though I've come across quite a few inconsistencies between Gecko browsers and KHTML browsers too).
There are also those of us that don't actually care about the browser and it's features (not one of which I want to use) and are only reading due to boredom.
A central open source project can become unimportant very quickly if they start making the wrong decisions. Look at xFree86 - x.org forked their codebase and the distros followed. The same would happen with Gnome and Mozilla if they went the wrong way... though Gnome users are quite clearly insane to start with.;) (KDE user)
They are playing catch up. They were just recovering from the shock of having to be compatible with AMD64 when AMD announced dual core which the Athlon64 and Opterons had been designed to support. Intel's chips hadn't been designed for dual core and it had to be forced in without enough time to redesign. Hence, inferior performance and higher power consumption.
All you need to do is have an ASCII chart handy and you can deal with text on any platform. Plus, the special symbols aren't on my keyboard. If I have to go hunting through obscure key combinations I need a pretty damn good reason!
Bush & Co are denying that it's happening at all. The real issue that needs fixed is that we need a way to get off this planet before it becomes uninhabitable.
I can't figure the database purists out. I'm an application programmer and I can't say I really care what database I use as long as the client libraries are fairly easy to use. MySQL works well, the C API is easy, so I use that. I can't stand stored procedures/triggers because I want my logic in the application. Now, I can understand if they are DBAs, DBAs have lots of time to argue about different databases when they are pretending to work.

My biggest problem with the *AA is this: they are subverting our governments with their political influence. I consider that treason.

Easy! Simply run ps -ae

$400 is pretty cheap for a GPS tracker with geofencing.
Amen! I'm so sick of having to keep half a dozen chargers around when nearly all of it needs the same 12 volt DC.
I know I don't want to go there after reading that.
Why the hell do *printer* drivers need to be in the kernel anyway? Userspace is a much more sensible place for them.

There's nothing a government hates more than people that think for themselves.
Just goes to show, every cloud has a silver lining. :)
My MySQL system ticks along just fine. They could offer the whole thing for free and I wouldn't be interested - I don't fix what ain't broken!

You also forgot "Those RIAA/MPAA bastards will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes." Or is that just me?
We are all just going to start paying huge amounts of money for Oracle if MySQL is taken out? No, we'll switch to Postgres.
