Don't forget Powerpoint. Business people love Powerpoint for some strange reason, probably because you can spend lots and lots of time on a presentation and look like you are doing something productive.
I wouldn't implement it via UA-sniffing. If another Browser implements this feature and you didn't update your page users would have a problem similar to IE-only sites today.
Do you by any chance mean the kind of people that take a 4 line poem and write a 40 page interpretation if you say "literacy geek"? I don't think those people understand authors better than your "computer geek" who didn't understand the important message between the line of the book. They are usually as far off from a reasonable interpretation (as in "what the author would tell you if you asked him/her") in one direction as the "computer geek" is off to the other.
I think what "keeps Linux from breaking through in the Desktop" is mostly the fact that the people who primarily want it to break through are the ones only talking about software and the people who develop it and have the power to change it in a way to break through don't want to sacrifice their vision of a good operating system, application,... (depending on what they develop) for mass-acceptance.
Could you please post some links. I would really like to play a good game again after all those years of EA-shit (+games from companies soon to be bought by EA).
It definitely isn't the most modded game because the original game is that good. It is the most modded game because the modding interfaces are actively supported by Valve but no Shooter can compare to a good deep, complex, story-driven RPG IMO. Actually the praise of the physics engine of one of the other posters in this thread just shows how easily people fall for engines with feature-bloat. Sure it might be fun in the first few minutes when playing around with the possibilities but physics engines won't make a boring game fun to play.
It is simple. I read a bought one just the other day. When they praise the (checkpoint in that case) save-system and the graphics of the game but don't lose a line to write something about the gameplay it is bought.
Think of Harddisk usage as a ressoure and you have a perfect example. Even with only 10 MB of disk quota it shouldn't be hard to kill hard disk performance for all other users.
all without human intervention or direction. The advantage of such a system lies in its ability to expand its own capacity rapidly and without additional human effort
In related news 100% of all manual labor has been fired in response to these news.
Actually IMO the fact that you are able to sign away rights on something you create in your free time in the first place shows a severe flaw in the system.
...at which point your situation is only slightly better than with commercial software as you then have to pay for development but can still make infinite copies.

I think what he meant is that the public perception is closer to the truth now which means it has improved.

Ok, so you say it isn't the game industry, it is capitalism that screwed all this up? I tend to agree with you on that one.
See, that is the reason why consoles are, ever were and ever will be a Bad Thing (TM).

Yeah, that worked fine for ICQ, AIM, MSN, the Microsoft Website, Hotmail, ...
1. True geeks don't spend much time outside the basement so telling the location is easy
2. True geeks won't have kids

Usually schemes like this are rendered useless one week prior to their release...
I could speculate now how difficult it would be for women to get a sperm sample to authenticate...
Why not UbuntuK?
I meant IE 4 was the last version of IE I used not that I used Opera since the release of IE4
Actually I use Opera since IE4 times and in all that time I didn't find more than half a dozen Websites that did not work in Opera.
