Although Microsoft has not been openly hostile. They distribute OpenGL with Windows. And although there are concerns that they are "crippling" the implementation they are shipping with Vista (of which I, personally, am skeptical), hardware vendors ATI and nVidia will be shipping the latest versions with their cards.
I wish ATI would get off their butts and fix their pathetic drivers for Linux. They are so far behind nVidia it is embarrassing.
Yes! It was a battery failure that caused the explosion in Japan. Dell calls this a thermal incident but I call it cutting corners in battery safety to maximize margins. If there is a recall on batteries then WE KNOW Dell tried to skim a few cents buy sourcing cheaper batteries.
One of the failure modes of a Li-Ion battery is what the industry calls "vent with flame", or what everyone else calls, a fire. (A very spectacular one, at that - not just ignition, but the fire actually shoots out like a jet).
"In the UK the magazine Private Eye has traditionally been the whistle blower. The US has never had a true equivalent. Private Eye has dramatically reduced the amount of graft in UK public life by bringing to light many schemes that would otherwise have continued for decades."
In Canada the equivalent is "Frank Magazine." See http://efrank.ca/ for details. The scourge of crooked politicians and lazy bureaucrats across the land.
or.. their personalities could brighten up a dull, unproductive workplace. imagine a setting where no one knows how to socialize with others at work, whether for casual conversation or for collaboration. a lively personality may help the situation. of course, both of our ideas are possibilities and not concrete facts. so it's a toss-up either way, which i believe is what the GP was getting at.
No, the nastiest (and funniest criticism) was this;
Beta 2 is a good looking operating system with a number of new features, which will be familiar to you if you've played with recent versions of Apple's OS X.
Bitchslap...
This was done twice in the article. Why are they copying so many OSX features? One might come to the conclusion that OSX is actually good.
Why all the references to food? 'Cooking' Carbon Nanotubes Like Spaghetti....with the help of noodle-like polymer molecules. A biosensor layered like lasagna... I am hungry now.
You have to try ie (Windows Internet Explorer.) It is so cool I could shit my pants. No other software can pick up viruses so quickly. If you have a death-wish (tm) you will love it when your computer goes down from the weight of every known piece of fucking malware known to man.

They should have titled their report, The Reanimation of Dead Tissue just for a laugh.

The first thing I imagined was a bouncy castle. Those were the days.
I wonder if they are auctioning Seven of Nine's catsuit?
I vote for AVG too. I was impressed with its installation process that didn't require rebooting--unlike Norton whuch required at least three reboots.
Will this be available for download after it has aired or is BBC Radio the only one that has downloads?

Hey, mac dud,
