Additionally, it looks like Firefox is actually starting to lose support even from the Open Source front.
I guess it lost support by me. Strangely i switched to Chrome for "support" of math. Now that seems really odd, cause FF supports MathML and Chrome does not. But FF (3.6) both doesn't render the digital edition of my Bronstein-Semendjajew (it's from 2005) and the new NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions.
This is very sad, 'cause i would want to switch from a LaTeX/PDF combination to XHTML for editing my notes. But without a good editor and viewer MathML is worthless (and let's be honest - writing MathML is a PITA).
...I can still let my browser render all websites with only 1 font and don't get a fucked up layout. If we are really lucky, there's a good font inside these packages to render math in a nice and readable way.
I pretty much doubt that your P1 could play HD videos, render code with highlighting in a useful speed or display unicode with only 16MB of RAM. Hell, I'm not even sure you could encrypt a harddrive with AES 256bit without greatly reducing it's speed.
That's no video card, that's electric heating. Would be interesting if this gtx 470 gives one more computing power than a (beowulf;) cluster of dual core atoms for the same TDP. Transistor count is close enough.
...Steve Jobs announced that the final product will be banned from the Apple Experience (TM) due to war being a violent business. "If you want your children to wage cruel bloody virtual war, buy a PC!". He also pointed out that Kerrigan is depicted completely naked in any promotional material he encountered.
The GP's argument - code quality of closed source code projects vs. code quality of open source projects - was based on a wrong premise. That's a rebuttal.
Choose freedom first and interested parties will take care of attributes like security, ease-of-use, and compatibility over time.
Maybe if you measure time in decades. I'm tired of waiting years for hardware support. Years in which I can't use hardware I bought to it's full potential. And I'm tired of wasting countless hours in those years with trial and error testing to see if support actually exists.
If its not in your repository, it could be a pain, this is true, although you can easy make a Debian package for a Debian system that you can remove as needed.
I tried that several times, including a try at updating a package and failed utterly every time. It may be easy if you already maintain a Debian package and know the process.
... Dolphin being faster? Last time i checked it was slow like hell. Especially deleting files and resizing it's window. And does Okular(?) now have an implementation of annotations which isn't braindead and actually usable? Is it comparable to PdfXChangeViewer?
The UN isn't just "some authority". There are enough governments involved that a matter decided upon by this body doesn't turn oppressive. And there are points in this declaration that i disagree with, but my disagreement doesn't make my version international law.

EVE.
The Falcon 4.0 manual is an inch thick :)
So Steve Jobs was wrong, you CAN get porn on your iPhone ;)
Now if you only could find an iPhone that's yours and not Steves...
Art is anything that has the ability to inspire emotions in people.
So my kitteh is art? Interesting.
So i have to state explicitly that an argument based on a wrong premise must be wrong? I thought that's common knowledge on /.

Wrong premise: closed sourcecode is only written by paid developers.
...my XP box didn't crash on reboot after applying these latest updates.
Scientists are people who know more and more about less and less
Well, that's actually true. The more you know, the more you know what you don't know. So it feels like you know more and more about less and less.

I don't think you can take the limit of this process. But you may come to the conclusion that in principle you know nothing.

Install a rolling Linux distro and live problem free.
ROFL. YMMD.
You may be surprised how many people use Windows for important things and succeed.

Gwenview: Well. I look at Gwen with it. Amongst others. Obvious. ;)
And i always wondered what the "Gwen" in "Gwenview" might stand for. So, not obvious at all.
I really wanted to reply to your post in a constructive way, but I'm simply to bored with this kind of marketing excuses.
If there were something like Google Translate is the recipe for the world's universal hilarity.
