Really? Had no choice? They couldn't have chosen some other browser implementation? Some other fork with some other license?
And the KDE team did 'most' of the hard work? Have you seen what Apple has done? Yes, KDE laid a great foundation, but Apple has taken it much farther, faster than the KDE team ever could. Just go look at the CVS - anyone can. And don't forget that Apple's fork of KHTML happened in 1998.
I was complaining about NCLB because it led to the fact that my kid (and most others) was watching movies in school for 2 weeks straight. Every year. In every grade from 3rd on up. That is a complete waste of a child's life.
I fully agree. Comfort (even healthcare) should not be provided by the gov't. I don't mind if they have some regulation that makes it fair.
Turn off Social Security, Medicare, Freddie/Fannie, Health Care.
But then where do you draw the line? Education? Natural resources? HUD?
We need to seriously trim ALL of our spending. But both sides of the aisle just complain about how the other gets their funding. Everyone just wants to make their power/pork/position larger, at the expense of this country.
But the social programs directly, positively impact most American people (try to get a retired person, dem or rep, to give up their social security). The defense spending is larger than the next 10 countries combined. That's a complete waste.
Regardless, I think that paying down the debt should be the first priority as it negatively affects all Americans, including future ones.
We don't need anywhere NEAR that level of defense spending. It's like we're trying to protect the entire world. In spite of the fact that most of the world doesn't want our protection.
If we cut the entire defense budget by 80%, we would still be the largest military in the world.
NCLB was the main reason I moved my family. Both of my elementary school children hated school because they were so bored. The teachers taught to the minimums. They got bonuses if more kids passed the end of year tests. Guess what happened the last few weeks of school. 1. First end of year test. 2. Reteaching those who failed the test. 3. Second end of year test for those who failed the first test. Do you know what the kids who passed the first test did during the reteaching & retaking of tests? Nothing. For 2+ weeks. I mean my older kid was watching 2 movies a day in third grade during this time. We couldn't see anything on the weekends because he had seen everything.
Now, I pay more in taxes and it's worth it. MUCH better school system - teachers & students trying for the top, not the bottom. NCLB is nowhere in sight.

Why is he following Walt "I love Apple" Mossberg?
Functionally, usefully, what do Win7 & Office 2010 have that WinXP & Office 2001 didn't have?
What functional difference would your parents notice?
No, that's "Developers!" 12 times....
I disagree. It looked like it was heading north-west. Towards Alaska, Russia, China.
I think that's a very big concern, hence my question.
I want to know one thing.
Where did it land?
Yes, it's definitely better than AVG, especially the older (7,8&9) versions.
Especially when that market is worth billions of dollars!
Symantec = $13B market cap
Trend Micro = $4B in market cap
McAfee = $7B in market cap
Same here. It's better, faster, and less ad free than AVG, Avast, etc.
Do they have double-width racks?
It's not the height, it's the width requirements that would kill most nerds...
It seemed like he needed to be beaten with a clue stick, and I was happy to accommodate!
Man, you KHTML nutters really get torqued about my sig.
Apple could have chosen some other implementation, some other fork, some other project with a different license.
Be happy that Apple chose it - that choice made it a popular standard and now it has become ubiquitous across all major phone browsers.
Really? Had no choice? They couldn't have chosen some other browser implementation? Some other fork with some other license?

No, Mr. I Completely Missed The Point.

Yes, they stole it. Some say forked it. And added to it. And shared it. And now others use it- people who use Symbian, Android, webOS, Kindle.
It's called 'how open source works'.
Moron.

No, there were lots of local jobs.
Look at how the airport was built.

Gear up? You think we need to gear up?
Our military spending is larger than the next 10 militaries ... combined.

DEMOCRATS: Tax & Spend. REPUBLICANS: Borrow & Spend. NEITHER: Fiscally conservative or socially moderate.
That's awesome. Because you can put either party in, and it works.
If you can't see that, you're too biased - one way or the other.

I see a red door, and I want it painted Thursday...
With Android, Google doesn't care about your personal information (again). Just ask Eric Schmidt. He'll tell you if you don't like it, don't use it.
