I really don't think those bashing MS for too much eyecandy at the cost of high system requirements are the ones creating KDE, Gnome, E or the other eye-candy-heavy WMs. You know, there are other WMs that are just as functional that don't need high-end PCs.
during college such behavior was more or less encouraged by their peers (while being condemned by the authorities).
Perhaps the college authorities should start drinking pure alcohol from buckets or tubs in public regularly. I bet that would convince students not to do it.
You do realize that most of the time most users use known features of known applications (presumably in known locations on the screen) and thus it is totally irrelevant how long a user needs to react to the appearance of a random box somewhere on the screen and to click on it?
So basically both Americans and Chinese fall for the old "patriotism" propaganda concept. In moments like this I ask myself if we here in Germany are the only ones that learned something from WW2.
There was a time when your prices were true. In the last few years however games pushing the hardware to the limit are rare. Basically the only games doing that are some FPS. And even those rarely need more than a replaced graphics card to run reasonably well.
If you are a serious writer (as in: writes books or long articles) you won't use either Office Suite but instead use something like Tex or Docbook. That is the only way to stay sane when writing long texts.
Now, all this nanotechnology WILL likely translate into stronger, lighter, more durable space craft.
Unless you can make fuel from nanotubes this is bullshit as the main weight of a spacecraft is the fuel and even though the other 5-10% or so might be reduced by the use of lighter materials this won't help us to improve the performance of current spacecrafts by orders of magnitude (which would be necessary to allow spaceflight for normal everyday people like flight is today).
Of course they see no reason to do this. That would require seeing themselves as incompetent in maintaining a language as the rest of the world (excluding people knowing one programming language or less) does.
We all know that people like Ballmer are the reason MS is where it is. Most of use just don't like either (neither people like Ballmer nor the position of MS at the moment). If MS were a person and not a corporation one could call their behaviour anti-social (as in: "makes the world a worse place for everyone else").
And even if the human eye would be able to see faster changes it makes no sense to render more frames than the monitor refresh rate allows it to display.
Unix has a consistent API structure which allows e.g. Linux to run X11 programs from the time before Linux development even started (recompiling due to other CPU architectures might be necessary). The only thing it doesn't have is a high level, easy to use, eye-candy-heavy AND consistent GUI API structure.

Haha, some people still watch TV...
If you have no clue what he is talking about click here
Especially since Documentation can be useful on any system/architecture that can use the hardware, not just Linux/x86
I would guess he meant "reasonable to disclose the security hole if the company doesn't answer in 1 week".
Total number of calls to each kernel function should be more useful.
Opera preserves the content you entered too. So I guess the OP must be either using Firefox or IE...

No, it should not be fixed. Those things are good reasons for switching to a compliant browser.
I believe what he meant was that the card manufacturer was cheap and used one physical input for both mic and one of the speaker channels.
Perhaps we should push through a law outlawing clueless lawmakers...

Technically DNA is a digital encoding with 4 symbols (A,C,G,T), isn't it?

Won't work in all the countries outside the US where we still have a working legal system.
They had to remove it after they got sued by the MPAA (Moon Picture Association of America).
