I think that's due to sloppy focus in Linux rather than Firefox. Same visa versa, I'm quite sure the reason why it doesn't do it in Windows is because of Windows as opposed to Firefox.
I do love sloppy focus though - the lack of it always trips me up when using Windows computers.
I'm not sure that licensing costs would matter with a rendering farm - just a drop in the bucket. However Linux has a smaller footprint and you can remove *everything* that you don't need. It is also much better at clustering than Windows. So when your comparing the two removing licensing costs, Linux wins.
Gimp and Inkscape aren't direct competitors. One is raster (doing things per pixel), the other is vector (using lines and curves between point a and point b). Most distros already include both pieces of software.
Bitmap, JPG, PNG, GIF, TGA, et al are raster. SVG is vector. Vector can be changed to raster (with loss of information) but not visa versa.
If you're used to photoshop's interface then just look up GimpShop which is just a clone of photoshop's interface using Gimp. I happen to be used to Gimp's interface more now so I'll stick to how it is right now.
We're not trying to pursuade them of the politics of IT. People are naturally suspicious of a free lunch. We're trying to break that suspicion, for this case at least.
Microsoft Office 2003 actually requires a reboot. It simply doesn't work otherwise. I was flabberghasted when I saw the error message and it took literally five minutes to figure out that it didn't work because I was working on something while installing and pressed "no" for "would you like to reboot?". Same with installing most sorts of drivers. Not to mention the seeming need to reboot every single time Windows XP updates... The damn thing keeps bugging me as well.
Considering it had a profit of €32 million Q1 this year, but lets be generous considering that was down from other quarters and put it at an even €100 mil for a quarter. That means that they'd make about $500 mill a year.
They would only last 50 days before their entire profit for the year would be used up. 10 mil is a *lot* of money to *anyone*.
no, it caches the squares just outside your viewing. If your internet isn't going fast enough and you move around quickly enough you see blank squares.
Try loading bit torrent or a couple of downloads - you'll see *lots* of blank squares!
That's not so much of a damning statistic for linux as for windows. Linux's system clock only goes up so far (420 days? Something like that) so its uptime resets past that, one of the worlds stupidest bugs in my opinion (is it that hard to fix? It definitely hurts the cred of linux). However you're right - BSD rocks.
Yeah we don't need drivers. We don't need access to the video card or the motherboard or the network card (not that you'll ever need that in a server). It'll cause stability problems.
I'm sure you all know, but America isn't the only country in the world, and other countries have DST, including mine, Australia. All that happens is a message pops up saying "You have entered DST" and an hour is taken off, everything's automatic. I'm sure it'd take about ten seconds to copy similar settings for the US.
It is an article about an exploit in the Windows drivers for USB, the article itself is entitled "USB Devices Can Crack Windows". In fact I don't see any anti-windows slant in the slashdot summary other than a statement of the facts and a direct quotation of the article.
As to the lack of actual exploits in Windows, perhaps you should read the news. There's been *many* exploits that slashdot has simply ignored.
For your third paragraph, you're full of shit and don't understand the exploit in question. It says that you don't need actual access to the computer just USB access. Even if there's a USB mouse fed through a KVM terminal you could probably take it apart and connect the USB that way. You don't need to reboot the computer, and there's no way to lock it out. This is a serious exploit.
How many people say "Windows XP" as opposed to just "XP"? I'd bet that after "Windows Vista" comes out there won't be a single techie mentioning the name "Vista" in a conversation about computers without connecting it with Windows. I can't see how there *wouldn't* be confusion for the customers or potential customers of Vista.
but that gives permanant enabling of the site to install whatever they want on my computer. I'd like it just to install once...
The best solution in my opinion is to have the same context menu as blocked popups. "Install this software" when you click on the banner up the top that says it has stopped the page trying to install an extension on your computer.
Though the whitelist brings in its own problems when you want to install from a site that's not in the whitelist. Is there any way of doing a one-off installation from a site not in the whitelist? There are quite a few pages where I'd like to install a single extension but not allow the page to install whatever it likes on my computer!

yes read your contracts, and, if you don't like what's there, have some fun with them.

I agree in a way. I haven't used Photoshop 9 but the photoshop 8 interface sucked. The photoshop 7 interface was the one that ruled.

really? Perhaps it was Office XP.

To be honest, I don't see a *huge* problem with mandatory ID cards.
The question is, what about people who do see a *huge* problem with mandatory ID cards? Why do you presume to speak for them?
strange, I'm using it with Firefox on Debian linux! What doesn't work on firefox?
Bad link, here's a good one: Silent PC Review

Yeah, them calling their product "MacOSX Tigerdirect" really stuffed Tigerdirect up.

Uh yeah, generally a good ad is an ad that gets the product name in your head, and a bad ad is an ad that doesn't get the product name in your head.
