As I said in a previous thread, Google has essentially "bought" Mozilla.
My opinion is that we are fast approaching a Netscape Situation, where due to politics brought on by the Google Takeover of Mozilla, it will die a horrible Netscape death. And also like Netscape, most Mozilla "products" are now fast becomming bloatware.
Lighten up, Troll. And even hardcore *nix fanboys draw the line at sucking RMS's vainy monster root. I know that's how you get your protein supplements, but really there are other sources.
adjustment layers, which are one of the most important editing tools IMHO and have been missing from the gimp despite years and years of people begging for them
Dude, come on. It's Open Source. Get off your ass and learn to code. Write the mod yourself if it's that important to you! It's not brain surgery, you know.
Armadillo Aerospace is already very close to meeting that mission profile.
And I'll bet they've spent a lot more than 2 million. NASA may end up paying out on this, but it will be to an existing established aerospace company that has already spent much more than 2 mil.
Never had an issue with XP Activation. I run XP Pro with Office, Visio, Visual Studio, and several other MS apps. Not so much as a hiccup installing any of them. Never been hacked either.
I'm not saying no one has problems with XP, but that has not been MY experience.
the only way Comcrap is going to lose customers is if there is some sort of competition.
Interesting comment. In most "markets", Comcast has the best connection, and it is DSL that sucks eggs. So if Comacst is "ComCrap", what are the rest?
All this hand wringing and bile spitting at Comcast is all well and good, but the fact is that here in the technologically advaced USA, exactly 100% of the alternatives suck as well.
Of course in Europe and Japan (and in Korea for old people), Iterweb in lightening fast.
Of course Google would say something like this. So would Microsoft. It's what's called "PR Spin".
"Of course we're happy our competiton is starting great new projects that compete with us in ways we are not able! Competition is good! Yadda, yadda, yadda..."
People, in less than 2 years, Google and Microsoft will be indistinguishable, both being IP whores (and I'm not just talking about network addresses...) driven by mercenary stockholders interested in nothing but cash, raping and pillaging the Interweb landscape at the mindless direction of their masters (look forward to major waves of state-side layoffs at both companies as even more of their Borg-like minions are out-sourced first to India and than to Pakistan and then to random dirt-poor Stans.
The IFPI is not a business. Pirate Bay is not its competitor. This clearly doesn't apply.
Oh come on! The IFPI is an outfit whose sole purpose is to protect intellectual property interests of their masters. Pirate Bay is an "anti-IP" organization, clearly there is a connection. Pirate Bay didn't just buy some random domain for no particular reason.
And who said they have to be businesses in competition? (IV) says "...intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain...". Last time I checked, Pirate Bay ran scads of ads, which they don't give away for free. If you're honest you understand clearly that Pirate Bay bought the domain because of its connection to IFPI.org, and a reasonable person assumes that such a connection exists and would drive traffic.
Facebook's move to 64 bits will allow it to have more than 18 quintillion (18,446,744,074,000,000,000) user accounts. Of course, there are currently only about 6.5 billion people in the world. Is Facebook setting their sights beyond Earth
Probably just means they don't have to worry about needing to reuse IDs of inactive accounts...
Exactly. The idea that 1.2 million people downloaded Radiohead's latest is not believable given historical sales data for the band. 1.2 million times, maybe. But 1.2 million people? Come on, it's like FireFox's numbers: If you say that each of the zillions of FireFox downloads went to a separate person, than everyone on the whole fucking Interweb is using it. We know that's not the case.

Now is the time to fork, people.
So, how does one get inoculated with your special seed?

It's a little late to start taking privacy issues with Google...
I'm not saying no one has problems with XP, but that has not been MY experience.
But it IS very amusing to watch all the Slashdotters WET themselves over this Apple story.
Well, it must not have worked very well for Greenpeace, I never heard of it before this.
And note that ElcomSoft is Russian, home of the Bot Nets....
Looks like Pee Wee finally found a new gig, after that sex scandle and all...
