... and so far it's working great for me (RSSOwl).
I also tried The Old Reader, and quite liked it except for its inability to mix all feeds into one continuous timeline.
I hate how a lot of this history has been rewritten to make Jobs the genius and Woz just Jobs' partner. Woz built the early Apples, designing some components (like the floppy drive controller) from scratch, and Jobs just did the stuff that no self-respecting hardware guy would want to do, namely marketing and style.
Besides fail to edit this jibberish: "Some Linux users think that this is a win-win situation for Linux users as it will brings good game titles on the Linux system that haven't been there and it will protect steam business model from both Apple and Microsoft."
Soulskill: at the very least, when you're writing for a large readership, you should set a good example and take the time to proof your writing. Otherwise your errors are magnified. I'm begging you.
Sorry Soulskill, but you need to have someone proof your captions, as they are consistently of poor quality. This one got the subject's name wrong, and appears to imply that the number 73 was an engineer.
I've worked with Windows 7 in various contexts, and I've yet to see any compelling reason to switch. Once Microsoft stops patching XP, I'll switch. By then Windows 8 will have been out for a while and hopefully some of the inevitable early bugs killed. Windows 7 does have some cool new features, but they don't come close to offsetting the network, interoperability, compatibility and user interface issues that send me back to XP consistently. When I'm finally forced to switch away from XP, if Windows 8 sucks, I'll be switching more systems to Linux. Dear Microsoft: if you really want us to switch: a) lower the damn price; and/or b) relax your rules about running multiple copies.
That's my prediction, anyway. Why is it always the people at the top who think a company would be better off without email? It has a lot of advantages over the alternatives, as this idiot CEO will soon discover. Basing company policy on what children think is cool is a very bad idea, unless you are making toys.
First problem: if I'm running Vista or 7, why would I care abut the impending loss of support for XP? It would make more sense if it only ran under Windows XP. Second problem: assuming that the lack of support from Microsoft will somehow 'kill' XP is ludicrous. People will keep using XP until they have no choice but to switch, and while losing support will certainly be a factor (because new security holes will no longer be patched), it will be only one of many. Until Microsoft develops a useful alternative (which Vista sure as hell isn't) that's reasonably priced (which 7 sure as hell isn't), or someone creates a new, Windows-compatible O/S that's actually good and reasonably priced, XP will remain. If Microsoft really wants people to switch to their latest offerings, they should lower their damned prices. Low enough, and everyone would switch. The money Microsoft saves in support and the increase in sales volume would easily offset the loss of their greed-motivated margins.
Dear Mr. Capps: You hold in your hands the ability to compete with the dollar games. In fact, this problem is very easy to fix. What magic can this be? The same thing that businesses have been doing forever, when competitors are undercutting them: LOWER YOUR DAMNED PRICES.
Nothing new here. These effects have been studied since the Comet, several of which exploded at altitude due to metal fatigue. Passengers suddenly found themselves in the open air, where they died rapidly due to the extremely hostile conditions up there. Arms and legs flap wildly, causing numerous fractures. Breathing is impossible in the rush of air. Unconsciousness ensues rapidly. The flight attendant who was sucked out of the flight in Hawaii was standing almost directly under the hole that popped open. The hole was large enough for her head to get through but her body blocked it. The 'fluid hammer' effect added enormously to the force on that area of the fuselage, causing a huge section to be ripped away. The attendant's head exploded as well, as is evidenced by large amounts of blood on the outside of the pieces of fuselage recovered.
Does he have a hidden agenda? Was he elected under false pretenses? Is he really a bad guy? I don't think so. I prefer to believe that he's a good guy, overwhelmed with work and following some very bad advice.

I said something negative about iTunes on Windows a few years ago and have been labeled a troll here ever since. Just saying.
I think that's what you meant to say. Otherwise much of what follows makes no sense.
The alternative is too ridiculous to contemplate.
why does soulskill use his FIST to type with? And why doesn't he ever seem to re-read what he types before posting it?

Sure, but it's easy to ignore mod points. A punch in the face? Not so much.
...as soon as someone invents a way to punch someone else in the face over the Internet.

Hint: you'll look less like an idiot if your tagline doesn't contain obvious grammatical errors.
Like many RPGs, Morrowind was loaded with bugs, many of which were never fixed by the original developers.
Help restore Slashdot to its former glory of comments by people who can actually spell. Oh wait, that never happened.
Who is Rutger, and why does he own a student? (samzenpus: back to school!)

Worse, do the Slashdot editors ever read what they're about to post? What is this gibberish? "has found new findings odd features"
Which, as far as I can tell, seems to be that if something is brief enough, we can pretend that it no longer occurs at all. That's what she said...

I've never been comfortable with the idea that paper can somehow beat rock: http://www.cslacker.com/images/funny/signs/billboards/paper_vs_rock/. Also, there are strategies for winning the game consistently: http://i.imgur.com/F2r3V.jpg.
Because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate: it is no longer possible to elect good leaders in the USA, and the country is doomed.
