The tag of the ad is "Empower your people" (my bold). It's not likely that the Polish people would think that the ad is targeted to them if it includes blacks (when there are probably only 50 blacks in the entire Poland), but at the same time it's strange the that the Asian guy was left alone, I doubt there are more Asians in Poland than blacks.
Not saying that all Russians are criminals, but there's a big population there, and yes there are many cybercriminals.... this might explain somewhat the Opera numbers.
Do you really think that Linux adoption has anything to do with the number of desktop environments choices? If that would be the problem I will know and tell my parents "use THIS desktop environment". Problem solved, right?
Face it, the vast majority of time people spend on the internet is wasted in stupid, distracting ways.
Face it, the vast majority of time people read Sandra Brown and other crap, if you stop people to waste time in a stupid time on the Internet they would waste time in another stupid way (most likely not even opening a book, and if they do open a book it will be crap)
I've been hearing that IPv4 addresses are "almost gone" for maybe 10 years now.
That's why we will be unprepared when it finally happens.
exaggeration about Minix...

"But they may have come too late to stem a flood tide called Linux, the open-source operating system that grew out of Prof. Tanenbaum's Minix."
I think this is a bit of embellishment... Linux didn't grew out of Minix. Sure, Minix was useful, but to say that Linux grew out of it it's a bit of exaggeration.
Download Statusbar, FireGestures, ScrapBook, Secure Login, Simple Email, Tab Mix Plus, User Agent Switcher, Xmarks and some others (for example I could install one extension to mimic "Speed Dial" but I don't really need it, well if I think well I could do without download status bar too), but these are the basic ones and I like the features they offer, for example I couldn't live without FireGestures or Xmarks.
In the 'Viewing' tab there's a setting for 'Enable Dynamic Discussions'. If that's off, you get white on white. If it's on, things look fine. At least for me.
For me the choice is simple, neither Chrome or IE8 work on Linux, and Firefox is kind of piggish on Linux, on Windows is works pretty decently. I do find Firefox a bit more compatible with some sites but Opera feels more polished and I don't have to install any extension to get it work as I want, on a clean Firefox install I have to install at least 15 extensions to make it work like Opera.
I'm sorry, but I find very stupid this argument that "Apple is a hardware company", I bet there were people who said "Apple is a computer company" when they launched the iPod and then somebody might have said the same think when they launched iTunes store. Hey, the "hardware company" sold more songs online than everybody else.
Apple is a money making company, if they make money selling software (and they do sell software) guess what, they are a software making company too.
Sharing ideas freely and collaborating is not communism, is this statement clear enough? In the retrospect I should have used "communist" to make it clear for people with IQ in two digits.
I was merely making a point that wanting to sharing ideas freely and collaborating is not communism. Of course to get that you probably need IQ > 90 I'm sorry for being elitist though.
"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property."

No, it makes his line extinct (or in danger of becoming extinct) on the other hand if slashdot readers start to mate among themselves and can produce offspring then yes they constitute a new species. But for that you'd probably need to find the elusive female slashdotter who doesn't mate outside of slashdot community.

How about "Alice"?

Did it loose 73% of its core developer?
I dunno, but what I'm interested in is what they did with the other 27% of him.

Exactly, I don't understand why churches needs lightning rods if they have nothing to hide from God.
There's a simple explanation, they fear Thor.

Thanks, works perfectly.

I see one every day at my work place.
It wasn't intentionally, I just forgot it in my pocket.
I don't know if all this is necessary, I washed and dried my flash drives couple of times and they still work fine.
