I think I found the solution (I was seeing the same thing you described)...
On top of the page is a link "Set your Location/Language", if you click it you get a popup. There you click "English" and then "United States", then you get redirected to the RealPlayer for Linux page.
No, now you read the headline as saying it 'endorses' the Mozilla family, which is not what it said. The headline said they recommend Mozilla. Yes, they do recommend against Internet Explorer and yes, they recommend Mozilla (among other browsers) as alternatives to Internet Exlorer. So, while the headline is quite Mozilla-centric, it is quite correct in stating they recommend Mozilla as alternative to Internet Explorer.
Well, those extensions are already there;)
Every application that is compiled with WineLib can be extended using the native Linux (or even KDE or GNOME) API's.
Those who make little to no money for it though and do it on the side I will just never understand.
Well, because it's fun. Why do people built their own cars/bikes/houses/etc.? Simply because they like doing it. Call it a hobby if you wish.
At least OpenOffice is an easy to remember and easy to speak alliteration. And the.org is only a formal suffix which no one pronounces anyway. Can't really say that for OpenSourceBrowser.
I'm seriously questioning the validity of this article. It says an IBM spokesman said they got access to parts of Microsoft code. Something I believe is very unlikely given the IBM's purpose. And on the contrary Microsoft denies any involvement.
Not that I don't hope it would be true...
Almost good. krfb is the server which, as you already pointed out, doesn't support RDP. krdc (KDE Remote Desktop Client) is the client which does support RDP (using code from rdesktop)
Why do none of the remedys require microsoft to release all APIs? This would solve the problems, would not destroy their business but would reduce their ability to harm consumers more than any other action.
Don't cry too soon, there's more to come: Microsoft could soon be facing multi-billion euro fines and other sanctions for breaking European competition law.
The framework, called Platform Innovation Framework for EFI and sometimes referred to by the code name Tiano, allows PC makers to write preboot software modules, which are similar to Windows drivers, designed to get a PC's hardware up and running before handing off control of it to the operating system.
Does this also mean we get universal drivers instead of OS-specific drivers? If this is the case, it would abondon the need for Linux-specific drivers and actually turn out to be an advantage...
Of course, the specification would need to be really open for that to work.
19% on the desktop? Uh, no way, that's just too unbelievable for me.
Please note they claim 19% of small businesses use Linux on the desktop. That's something totally different than 19% market share. Those 19% may have just 1 desktop with Linux. So actually, it still says nothing, but it's a start.
You should have known by now it is like Russian Roulette to base your job upon Windows. (Though the way you might get screwed here is quite an unordinary one.)
At the risk of being modded as a troll for this one, I would say that if UNIX had the marketshare instead of MS, then we'd see a ton of UNIX based worms/viruses. Or Mac for that matter. MS, who I agree has awful business practices, is just an easy target for rhetoric for those two reasons.
If I'm not mistaken, the majority of servers connected to the web (mostly webservers) are in fact *NIX machines. Servers are an easy target since they can't be entirely 'firewalled' because their services need to be available and they're not moving targets either. Still I don't see huge amounts of Apache (and the like) virii floating around...

That's why such businesses would really be helped with something like Novell ZenWorks.

I just reloaded the article on mozilla.org and now Adobe appears to be on the list as well... can anyone confirm this?

Why are you denying you demo'd Doom? It's one thing you should never deny. You should be proud you know your classics ;)
Yes, they would. But does that make it right Apple is doing this?

I heard it is also possible to let it randomly generate a new name everytime you start Firefox, quite funny :)

Probably GNOME 2.6 is expected to be out by the time the release their final version of Core 2. Then they'll be the first to have it.

A Linux version will be available as well.

(...) what would happen if they made the leap to linux and next year there was a judegement which gave SCO the advantage.
That's quite a big if you got there...
I'm just missing a big red arrow with the text "You are here."...
And you really think they will get all those students on board by trying to sell them content they can't share?
Until I can play them in linux, they're useless to me. And don't tell me to burn everything to a CD and then rip it.
Makes me wonder... Isn't it be possible to simply write an iso and mount that in Linux? It would save you some of the hassle.
Israel's politics are responsible for 9/11, according to Bin Laden.
At least we know on whose side you are.

And where can I find a link to download it?
