that's irrelevant -- web logs aren't "independant newspapers" and web loggers aren't "freelance journalists". even amateur papers have an editorial process and fact checking. web logs do not. web logs present a fascist model of information, with a single individual dictating a generally distorted presentation of information, unchecked by reader responses or professional guidelines.
the linux megaraid drivers are pretty terrible. we have a couple of machines at work with *unbelievable* throughput problems due to the poor linux megaraid drivers.

you should consider the cost of advertising and rethink your position -- regardless of whether all those TV spots and full-page magazine ads figure into the cost of physically manufacturing the chip, Intel is buried up to its neck in advertising costs that they have to recover before their chips can turn a profit.
people keep saying that all my Unix/Linux apps work "just fine" on OS X -- but have you tried them? Gentoo/MacOS is horribly broken, and Fink is not too far ahead -- probably because OS X's filesystem layout is so bizarre (not to mention the strange executable formats Apple have grafted onto the OS).
apple's X11 implementation is sluggish and flaky compared to native offerings, and its default Aqua toolkit is not exposed to developers except through apple's non-standard Cocoa and Carbon frameworks.
certainly, OS X has a nice kernel and they've got most of the BSD userspace tools working fine on it -- but for a serious Unix, OS X is just not quite there, yet.
it's not so much astro-turfing as just plain search spamming. webloggers don't contribute anything of value to our culture. i want them gone, and i don't care what the cost is.
you're thinking of the genie effect, which despite being patently unpatentable, has nothing to do with the swelling icons effect.
honestly i wasn't even aware this page had something to do with os x. i just thought it was nice to be able to type in a query, and *then* select which google engine i wanted to use.

Again, it's not that K3B isn't competitive. It certainly is, but it's not there yet.
have you actually used k3b recently? or ever? or are you just on some sort of linux-apps-are-not-there-yet autopilot mode?
there are numerous, perfectly good operating system kernels available for them to download on the internet -- with source code -- to use as the foundation of windows.
i need to have several terminals open to shells on various servers, a web stable, tabbed web browser for our monitoring software, various internal wikis, and google, as well as a robust IMAP mail client for the listservs etc, and miscellanous stuff like rsync and mysql that i can abuse locally without breaking something important. obviously it would be a pointless waste of money (and time) for me to use anything besides Linux at work.

also.... no /proc filesystem. seriously, wtf...???

all my tv content already comes through the internet...

you can't have it both ways.
and seriously, i don't care what the cost or reason is if bloggers stop posting.
aieeee, my eyessses!
honestly, I feel it would probably be worth the death or repression of millions if we could quickly clean the internet of bloggers.
now go upstairs and help your mom with the dishes.
you mean windows viruses.
by my calculation, from 5.59% to 6.17% is a 10.3% increase for firefox.
actually, by including a tabbed interface, they are taking a page from OS/2's book, same as mozilla and opera did. credit where it's due.
over 70% here. 280,000 hits/month.

Well, the writeup does say it was "blogs" referring to this. It's obviously not even worth considering.
he's not just some random guy -- he submitted the story to slashdot. of course he's going to link to his own miserable web log.
ett-see
Come back when you've got a /proc filesystem.

PS: nobody gets paid to post on a web log.
of course! why didn't i think to look there??
