  4. Re:it's true on Digital Generation, Analog Retro Chic · · Score: 1

    My alarm clock is quartz, but it uses an actual bell for ringing (first clock that could wake me). I can hear that I need to change the battery (only once so far) when the ringing frequency gets lower.

    The "minute" hand on my $5 watch moves every second is that ticking or sweeping?

    I seems the one who "would sue this guy to kingdom come" is quite an antisocial asshole as well.

    There is no one one step. There are many steps in many directions. MS isn't ahead in every direction.

    It's BS anyway. Increase of production spurs economic growth, not cycling money.

    I would think they build from source (don't know if they count that too). But still disribution downloads are not in the 1 million.

    You'll understand this better when you hit 40 or 50 and find yourself walking around muttering under your breath that you don't understand a damned thing kids say these days.

  22. Re:Hmmmm on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 1
    Let's look back.
    Again, you've got a warped sample group there... wikipedia was originally promoted in geek circles (most particularly, right here on /.), and there's still a strong bias toward the technically literate on there... meaning more people who don't use IE.
    Is this fact or opinion? If it's an opinion what facts do you form it from?
    Try to spell it right though.
    If you are going to complain about my spelling at least say what's spelled wrong, otherwise the comment is useles.
  23. Re:Hmmmm on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 1

    No I just don't see where you get your facts from. How do you measure the bias of Wikipeadia's figures? How do you know that the people wisiting "mainstream" sites are a "more reasonable representation of 'most people'"? What is a mainstream site anyway and how do you differ between a niche site that has general information and a mainstream site that has specific information?

  24. Re:Hmmmm on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 1

    What facts would those be? Why are "mainstream" sites a better representaion of everyone? How do usage patterns influence browser stats? What you should see is that if you are dismising every figure that does not show 90%+ IE that you are biased, or backwards biased or whatever.
