The $100 has always been target that can only be reached once more than 6 million units are mass manufactured, that was always the original idea.
Than why bandy it about? It's an unrealistic number. They might as well say the can offer it for $50 if the make 20 million of them... It's a number pulled out of the sky that has no relationship to what will realistically happen.
By the way, I bought 4 of the original version (2 for me, 2 for Africa...)
OLPC was founded in 2005 with the "$100 Laptop" idea which Bill Gates, Intel, everyone imediately poo-pooed.
And they have yet to come close to delivering a $100 anything. As well, they can talk about the specs of this latest version, but they have not yet actually built any.
The clamAV engine is designed for scanning incoming email. These days any sensibly configured email system deletes all email with any forum of executable attachment before it gets anywhere near the end users so email scanning is a bit of a niche market.
Maybe end users WANT the freedom to be able to attach executables? Who says all email users (or even most) are like you?
Now, of course, I'm not talking about the rubes that clicky on any linky or attachment in their email, but you know, *I* want the ability to send *any* type of file I choose to a recipient that might be expecting said file...
And, I wonder if this is the same company discussed in an "Ask Slashdot" yesterday that wants their employees to work 10 hour days 7 days a week without overtime?
My current boss asked me what I thought of asking all employees to work 10-11 hour days until the company is profitable.... None of the employees have ownership/stock and all are salary...
Hahha ha ha ha haaaaaha ahaaa... Chortle... Yes. Well.
Please tell me where you work so I can avoid having anything to do with you folks...
No. If FF4 as of beta 8 is any indication, they broke parts of it entirely. Bits of it are slicker, but it has mechanical issues and memory leaks.
Sir, what version of FF have you been using? As far as I know, it has ALWAYS had "mechanical issues and memory leaks", that's not a new feature in FF4.
Indeed, the "Amber Alert" program is very much like the DARE program: Huge amounts of money are tossed at it, yet not only is their "success rate" tiny, but the program itself has serious political problems. Like DARE and its questionable association with the "War On Drugs", the Amber Alert program is seriously in bed with the Man Hating Feminist movement.

It's a US project made by the good people at the US MIT...
Again, this has what if anything to do with US wars?
US spends billions dollars every day on useless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This isn't about the US war in where ever. And the US ins't the only country neglecting "2 billion kids".

...OK...
I'm sorry, what? Who?
Why did you wake me up?
I'm pretty cheap too, but run Linux, so there's no software to pirate :)
I assume, then, that you don't use Wine?
Something tells me that MS and Apple (and especially, Apple) will do all they can to break the plugin's functionality.
Apple might be able to get away with it, but MS will always have that "monopoly" monkey on its back.
For the record, I'm cheap.
I could care less means that you care and could actually care less, someday...
No, "I could care less..." does not mean "you care and could actually care less...", it means *I* could actually care less...
What you actually meant to say was...
I could care less means that I care and could actually care less, someday...
Get it straight...
Photoshop still costs hundreds and Gipm is... not a replacement. PS is the only pirated software I have.
Do it and you will be happier.
And, I wonder if this is the same company discussed in an "Ask Slashdot" yesterday that wants their employees to work 10 hour days 7 days a week without overtime?
I wonder if they have a turnip to sell me.
Or how about this honkin' radish (being examined by Kim Jong Il himself!)
...grossed more than the CEO because of the companies overtime...
Did you not even read the summary? They *are not* paying overtime. These people are salaried.
My current boss asked me what I thought of asking all employees to work 10-11 hour days until the company is profitable. ... None of the employees have ownership/stock and all are salary...

FF4 gets there after a couple of tabs are open, and grows.
It's still "beta"...
No. If FF4 as of beta 8 is any indication, they broke parts of it entirely. Bits of it are slicker, but it has mechanical issues and memory leaks.
Sir, what version of FF have you been using? As far as I know, it has ALWAYS had "mechanical issues and memory leaks", that's not a new feature in FF4.
but once they got a good market share and user appreciation, it became bloatware.
Some people call it "bloat", other people call it features that they asked for and find useful.
Seriously, if you want a stripped down / light-weight browser, there are other options.
