It probably looks for the Windows bit in your user agent string. Since it probably sees "Linux" or "BSD" or something similar, it won't say you're supported. Spoof your UA to see.
I think it would have been a more interesting slide if he swapped Safari and IE's positions in the first chart to make the second chart, therefore putting Safari at 74%, Firefox at 20%, IE at 12%, and other at 2% or something like that. Now that would have been looking ahead! However, I'd rather we don't have any web browser taking that sort of market share ever again in order to promote open standards with an open process (which means the W3C has to open themselves up a bit to the public when developing new web standards).
Debian are the people who renamed Firefox to Iceweasel due to trademark issues; there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that they'd do anything cooperative with Microsoft.
Well, considering a lot of the complaints regarding Ubuntu I've read have all been GNOME-specific (e.g., clipboard issues, menus, Cancel/OK instead of OK/Cancel, lack of customisation, shitty (literally) default theme, etc.), I think they would have been better off with KDE as the default. At least Kubuntu is moving along quite well nowadays, although it still feels like it's more for experienced KDE users who want a Debian-based system with more actual KDE support.
Note the "they probably won't even read the modified contract" bit. Companies only care about larger contracts that cost them a sizeable amount of money...
I know they aren't the same, and I didn't say they were; I said they share a very common core (as in a lot of the code still is the same), and thus still act in nearly the same way in most situations.
For the reasons you state, I somewhat agree; KDE 4.0 probably won't be nearly as good on Windows (or Mac) as it will be on Free operating systems (i.e., ones using Xorg or X11 in general), but it's worth trying. Show Windows users all the great things they are missing when their software is free and other developers can add on, fix, secure, and generally improve on others' work in order to release the best software possible. Also, it's good for us who may be forced to use Windows temporarily in some situations beyond our control.
I thought it was talking about Bill Gates, as in, "Microsoft to bring a la carte". Hell, they'd be more likely to do this (only available on their uber-media edition of Vista, of course) than the cable companies.
Not all US carriers are like Verizon, thankfully. Using either T-Mobile or Cingular/ATT (at least), you can probably use this phone with your existing SIM card. This is provided, of course, you buy it full price and not subsidised from a carrier.
Most people aren't photographers, so they don't know about the more important qualities like lens size, range of exposure time, range of analogue (not digital! yuck) zoom, raw image support (although, why do you care about this in a phone's camera? especially without a modular lens), etc. Just like how people think that horsepower (and sometime torque) are the only thing that matter in a car. Or "how many GHz a computer has" (regardless of memory (capacity, bandwidth, and latency), cache, bus speeds, other bandwidths, hardware controllers, etc.). Or how big a TV is (regardless of resolution, viewing angle, brightness/contrast/gamma/etc.). Or how many watts a speaker uses (regardless of size, wiring, casing, other acoustics, etc.). I could go on and on...
These statistics make me wonder if Konqueror 4
will become another large competitor on Windows. Konqueror and Safari both share
a very common core (KHTML/WebKit),
so the renderring and page handling should be relatively the same. Web designers
can get another speedy and a more native web browsers that tests their
sites for the same purpose, and general users can get a lightweight,
standards-compliant, open source web browser (without the OSS requirements, you
can already get this with Opera, of course)
that won't try to enforce another platform's "look'n'feel" like Apple's apps
all do.
For the interested, you can grab an alpha
copy of KDE 4 (download qt-copy, kdelibs, and kdebase at the very least; you can
use either GCC/Cygwin or MS Visual Studio to compile it). On OS X, there are
precompiled universal binaries for everything, and Kubuntu and openSUSE users
can get packages for it from their respective websites.
Well, they don't seem to give a damn what you think if you never tell them what you think. They're not mind-readers...
Lobbyists are constantly telling politicians what they think, and if we aren't doing the same, then these congresscritters will just assume that what we want is what they're being told.
Because using previous definitions of the metre, 299 792 458 m/s was the most accurate we could get for measuring the speed of light in a vacuum, so we redefined the metre to be based on that (easier to measure the amount of time that passes than the length of something; possibly has something to do with the uncertainty principal, but I don't know). With the new definition of the metre, it was basically the same amount of length, so all our measurements in metres in the past were still pretty much the same.
According to the RIAA, yes. According to us, no. But putting the file somewhere and telling people to go download it or linking to it anywhere else is probably distribution.
It's the same with both civil and criminal. The only difference regarding it is how good the evidence has to be (preponderance of the evidence in civil versus beyond a reasonable doubt for criminal).
Did it ever occur to you that it may have been due to bad management? There was this one company that ported games to Linux, and despite being quite successful (and profitable), they collapsed due to horrible management. Nowadays, the market size of Mac and Linux users is much higher, and with good management, it is a good idea to have a porting studio (which can extend to making original games if it became big enough) due to less risks and more profit.
It's also a better idea to write portable code in the first place because it also allows you to port the game to other platforms that are far more popular for gaming than any PC-based one would be; examples include Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 2 (3 if it didn't cost so much;p), Nintendo DS, Sony Playstation Portable (finally gaining traction), Flash/Java web games, etc.

It's too bad that goes against freedom 0. Maybe we should amend that? Hehe...
Of course I would! Information wants to be free, yo.
Safari has boatloads of options in a text file somewhere (something like Safari.plist) just like Firefox does (prefs.js). Yay power users!
I think it would have been a more interesting slide if he swapped Safari and IE's positions in the first chart to make the second chart, therefore putting Safari at 74%, Firefox at 20%, IE at 12%, and other at 2% or something like that.

So the reason a lot of Americans hate him is because of neo-cons' lies as usual? Man, what the fuck is going on here?

Well, the consistency of KDE is one of my favourite features, and the more useful features apps can share, the better!

But if you're the one hosting the file when someone requests it? That's the distribution part?

Win 3.1 had split window panes? Wow, I was missing out on something back in the day (seriously; I use them in vim most often, though). Hmm, oh well...
If I could install it via WINE, I'd let you know. In the meantime, I'll continue to use Konqueror and Firefox.

Because iPhone == new iPod, that's why. Unless Apple wasn't trying to market this as a smartphone/iPod combo, this complaint will continue to exist.
