This may come as news to you, but it is possible to have two projects on the go at the same time. If everyone in the world worked on only one project, we'd still be in the dark ages.
I can't believe you people are taking that seriously. Do you really think the submitter thinks the two are related? Lighten up. Sheesh, any excuse to have a dig at somebody.
What major industry, company, government agency, etc has to go down in a giant ball of fire to get people to do something about this and not continue to use a sub-standard product?
The thing is: when was the last time any company did "go down" because of IE? I'm sure if a Fortune 100 company "went down" because of IE, we'd hear a lot more about it and more people would switch.
We will see applications being delivered on the internet. Not web pages. They would run on a.Net sandbox with as much security as a webpage or the once-upon-a-time java applets.
"IMHO the labels/music industry are just trying to create yet another format in order to try and get everyone to buy all their music AGAIN."
I think CDs are good enough now, and unless SACD/DVD-A is absolutely fanfuckingtastic, there's no way you'd get me to repurchase all the music I already have on normal CD*. However, if a producer were to make new material that took good advantage of this new format, and the price were equivalent, then I'd be persuaded to buy SACD/DVD-A.
Apparently when I bought all my CDs, I just bought a license to play it, the music is not mine to do with as I please, so why shouldn't I be able to send in the old format album and get a free replacement album on the new format for a minimal cost of labour+postage?
The UK government uses the electoral register to sell your data (regardless of whether you "opt out") to third party marketing companies to get revenue.
Back in the day, a browser's default colour was light grey. This was and is a good neutral colour for developers to use. In Photoshop and other image software, the default colour of an undefined colour is light grey, ableit checked.
One of the first things any developer should learn is to never, under any circumstances, assume that a user's viewer is set a certain way. Setting the background colour of your web site is the very first thing one learns, and is most simplest of things to do. Not setting a background colour just shows how incredibly lazy and ignorant the author is. Unless, of course, there is a notice on the site that says "For x browsers only", in which case, well that's plain shit.
"It's a free society, and we're supposed to move as we like without the government tracking us everywhere,"
In a free society you should be able to track whoever you want, without punishment. In a free society you should also be free to prevent anyone from tracking you, without punishment.

LOL. I think somebody modded this informative instead of funny ;-)
Man, it is only a web site.
No it doesn't. Developing for 100% of the world's PCs makes sense.

You mean like 'apologize'?
But that doesn't write a user.js, so how else is one to port those changes to another computer?
Same with Opera. In fact, by default, Opera identifies itself as MSIE.
Why spend time typing nonsense emails like someone@somewhere.com and noone@nowhere.com when you can just type 1@2.com?
I wish Squid had that built in.
Note: I think I had to use Catalog 1.01 because 1.02 didn't work.
Same here. For me, Microsoft make a good games OS and that's it. Oh and good hardware. They should stick to what they're good at.
You have a six-foot senile iguana who doesn't give a shit in your house!?
I don't see where the spam is.
Because the article is about KDE, not Prescott.
Quick, somebody patent this!
According to the link, the latest release is 0.8...

How do you know?

Wow, it's only a matter of time before someone makes one of those IRL!
Why do you or anybody care about 'karma' in this way?
Since when were Microsoft on any ship but their own?
