When the end users don't get any websites that look good because the developers can't achieve it with the piss-poor support of shit like IE, they'll notice. Give screenshots of neat effects available in CSS 2.1 and CSS 3, and show screenshots of how fucked up it'd be in IE, and then we can see how irrelevant it really is.
We've already got plenty of choice when it comes to movies. What we'd like is a legal alternative that can be just as good if not better than the current method.
I think it's more like Apple keeps its original software closed, but anything it uses that's free or open source (e.g. BSD-like license), it continues to release their changes whether or not they're required to do so.
I'm sure that many of those people are buying them to watch on video iPods more than on computers. People download HD movie trailers from apple.com to watch on their computers...
K-Meleon (Windows), Camino (Mac OS X), and Epiphany (Linux, BSD, etc). They use the Gecko renderring engine, but cut some bloat and render the interface using a native GUI rather than via XUL.
People like you (as well as the IE developers) are why us web designers are still making IE hacks so that web pages display as frickin' web pages and not shit on a shingle like the default renderring of IE is.
That's why you write the standard before you write the code. You can revise the standard after seeing how implementations work, but you need to keep that updated.
I don't buy anything from Microsoft (Linux user), so I'm definitely not paying for it. I build my own computers (or buy Macs), so I don't get hit with the Microsoft tax anyhow.
I think the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle also extends to other measurements such as force:time, inertia:time (if you derive that from position:momentum), etc.
If the Chicago Times didn't exist (actually, I don't think it does; we have the Chicago Tribune, the Sun Times, and the Daily Herald to name a few), I don't think anyone would care.
Maybe Microsoft has never heard of those filesystems? I've noticed that most BSD and other UNIX-like distros use their own filesystem instead of using Linux's main filesystem (ext3), so Windows is just doing what many distros do. I'm quite sure that most of said distros support other filesystems, but insist on using its native filesystem for things like root and boot.
When I installed Vista Beta 2 on a friend's box, it required use of NTFS for its root partition (the C: drive as you Windows people like to call it), so I'd say that Vista will use NTFS. Then again, Vista might as well use Reiser5 or something, because that will be the default filesystem on Debian Stable kernels by the time Vista comes out.
Haven't you heard of the extension to Godwin's Law? From TFL:
As the length of a thread approaches infinity, the probability of something being compared to Hitler or Nazism approaches one. On a similar note, as the length of a political discussion approaches infinity, the probability of Republicans being compared to fascists or Democrats to hippies approaches one.
If we estimate the amount of users on the internet to be about 1 billion, that would make you.0000001% of the users. If everyone in the world was a web user, you'd still be somewhere close to that (like seven zeros instead of just six).
You can choose which folder is used as the bookmarks menu. Many plugins and service menus exist at kde-apps.org. There is also the Universal Sidebar thinger that works in both Konqueror or as an actual panel, and there are plugins for that as well (e.g. a del.icio.us plugin, Amarok control, generic media player controls, history, bookmarks, file browsing, remove servers/services, etc.). I used to use Firefox exclusively, but since I got tired of Firefox's GNOME-ness (especially that motherfucking piece of shit open file dialogue), I tried out KDE and was amazed at how well it integrates with other KDE apps. It even has AdBlock built in! I'll admit that the implementation is still pretty basic (you need to access the AdBlock settings to modify filters), but it is powerful. Besides, you can just save the Filterset.G updates, import them, and you've got a good filter list already (it supports regexp filters).
For porn, however, I still recommend using Firefox. Ever heard of Pornzilla?
And until Firefox devs get off their asses and code in KDE support (not just Qt; complete with dcop/dbus (if for KDE4), KParts (so we can get the integration aspects that Konqueror offers), and an interface that follows the KDE UI guidelines) or allow some KDE developers CVS access to do it for them, I can't recommend using that as a primary browser for KDE users.
Since Firefox and Opera seem to be the only browsers with real XHTML support at the moment (KHTML renders as tag soup still), that might be why. I wonder what would happen if IE just renderred application/xhtml+xml as standards compliance mode HTML...

I don't know about him, but I own a government and three internets, so nyah.

Honestly, I never knew you could put it in your mailbox to send it; I've always used the blue USPS boxes that are scattered everywhere.

That's true; we can measure how far light travels in a certain time more accurately than the converse.
Oh god, please don't mention Riemann manifolds to me again. Those sucked. :(

I've only seen it on Slashdot, so I don't know how "fast" it spreads. Things from FYAD seem to spread, however.
Your font setting for monospace might be odd. Check it out, and make sure to check all the languages if it seems okay at first.

Nah man, that's the answer to almost everything on the MPlayer mailing list. Nowadays, it's "Fixed in Subversion _ages_ ago."

Stop hanging out at digg, then.
