The reality of the matter is that solid state is simply more reliable** than mechanical electronics in most cases. Great to have your opinion onboard. Some links to factual data backing up your anecdotes would be nice. [CITATION NEEDED]
Thats because google do things differently. They release stuff as beta and constantly improve it. That similar to the OSS way - release early and often. MS are used to competing with other proprietary software (there are exceptions, notably Netscape) companies and their mantra is pretty much take your time and release it when its ready, then slowly release fixes when necessary. MS can beat this proprietary attitude with money and manpower. Against the release often and early crowd, they are screwed.
People still donate money (campaign contributions) to politicians? Don't they realise that a large part of the tax they pay every day goes towards the bulging wallets and fat bank accounts that are political salaries?
Voting doesn't mean anything when all the voting options lead to the same end result - far right or a bit left of far right (or the left and slightly right thereof if thats what they have convinced you they are today). Modern politics is just a media circus. Important issues always get sidelined to mudslinging.
Basically, either you are a highly bribed politician or you're no one and you opinion is of no consequence. Public consensus hasn't been involved in the process for a very long time.
And he cannot get phone line DSL since he is so far away from central terminal, so he relied on painful 22k/sec dial-up for access to Internet. Basic utilities may be a legal requirement but broadband certainly is not.
Its not exactly going to be a 100% mortgage. MS make money - a lot of it - from OEM OS sales and Office. Financial institutions will be falling all over themselves to get a grasp of that empire.
Google make a hell of a lot of money from ads, and this is what this buy-out is about in the end, competing for some of googles ad money. Financial institutions love money, so how exactly can they lose here?
Hey, its not easy keep every blade of grass within 0.3mm in length and maintain cross-colour length rules while keeping a close watch on weather-judged per-species expected length margins, you insensitive clod!
Keep off my lawn too, you pesky kernel hackers^WWkids...

Correct. One is a huge waste of time and bandwidth, the other isn't.

Constantly, without ever being turned off ?
My bad. You were referring to PHP in particular, not PCRE in general. Sorry about that. Please ignore.
Eh. You'd advocate replacing: if (/something/) { ... } with: if (something) { ... } ?
:)
Similarly replacing: s/this/that/; with: sthisthat; Ok, that ones a bit obvious
Just to be clear, I'm referring to PCRE wrt perl, not PHP, so I guess this is off-topic.
