yeah. The only video site in the list is vimeo. The rest are news sites.
For the smart people, you can read all the other websites via RSS. I'm amazed that a site that would be just fine being read via RSS is touted as special for being "ipad ready".
content as you define it, is not something that has a cost to begin with. The problem you have here, is you probably don't understand the difference of what someone wants to charge vs the actual value of something.
content online's cost? 0. Value? depends on usefulness.
I challenged someone's credibility because they failed to provide anything for people to understand or research or fix or complain or whatever.

Firefox crashes frequently - at least a couple times a week
So the general question is since most people's firefox copies don't crash a ton a week, what exactly did X person do that magically safari and chrome didn't crash?
Yes, all the things you mention can cause the problem, but the person still didn't tell us what the heck they did to cause it. It's left as FUD, essentially.
I agree. However, many cert agencies do not do their due diligence. Most cert agencies won't accept results at all unless it's from a known and accepted lab. So this sounds like a known lab is cutting corners and charging less than their competitors, resulting in BS claims coming around. Or I'm sure there are other methods. However, lots of less trustworthy cert agencies are known to accept claims/test reports from any company as long as it just has a stamp of "yes, this company did the testing". When I say lots, I mean that there are more of this type than there are of the kind that verify everything, irrespective of legal risks that come out of doing so.
Additionally energy star is a relatively new area of business for a lot of companies. It's only been around for less than 20 years. 10 years from now it might clean up due to competitive pressure. However, remember that certifications are typically ongoing for a product/company, so 10 years from now for something a certification that might be relevant for 50+ years would not be unsurprising.
Smart meters rely on (among other things) - FIPS. Clearly the wrong level of it. Meanwhile, even FIPS isn't that reliable./I just started to do work involving the stuff//FIPS is in basically everything in the US
Yes, this is the issue. Lack of cross platform pc gaming is holding back a ton. However, it's almost equal to the amount if games were available on both wii/ps3/xbox360 at the same time.
The difference, and why the PC gaming will win in the long run? It's easier to just program a game in openGL that runs on all platforms than it is to program for wii/ps3/xbox360 where you have 3 entirely separate hardware and development requirements.
I don't know how plane searches work on Bing but they work super fast on google.
Example: search ORD to JFK and you get a link asking for the dates you wish to fly. After you put those in, if you open each link beneath it (in new tabs) you can search 7 major airline searches for your destination/date in like 5 seconds. (Cheapticket, expedia, hotwire, kayak, orbitz, priceline, travelocity) . So I don't know or even care what bing has on that, since google's is that simple.
If you patent something that is intangible, that is against the intent of patents themselves. This is what is completely misunderstood.
You have to be able to patent something specific and tangible because otherwise there is both a: no way to verify it and b: no way to work around it.
If I were able to patent math, or a concept, which is too generic for a patent, what is to stop me from suing anyone for doing anything considered "Similar" to said concept? This is the issue. When you get down to patenting 2+2 that means you can stop people from patenting any form of math. See how this leads to a circular argument that only goes down the drain for inventors?
what you're saying has no relation to the situation at hand or even what I wrote.
Did you even read what I said? I can tell you didn't.
I'm just saying it takes time to fix a whole lot of corruption. Who said any part of my post means make the government more powerful or less powerful? that has 0 basis on the issue at hand, and is a straw man.
Try to pull the libertarian card a little less there, eh?
Firefox has had massive memory leaks from day one. Some are due to how firefox is programmed, others are actually due to plugins. I've noticed a few specific plugins that have items on every page cause slow memory leaks.
I've seen the 1.5GB+ firefox that lags and crashes after leaving it open while I come to work, only to come home to an unresponsive browser.
His post is misleading because he doesn't tell us what the hell he did to crash it. It's stating a result but not what was done to cause it. Sometimes people think the problem is X, when the problem is actually caused by Y. Given that this is slashdot and you are knowledegable about computers, I can guarantee you've seen such situations come up a million times.
do I need to repeat myself? every platform does crash, there's no denying that. It's a misleading argument to imply that firefox is magically the only browser to have plugin problems, or the cause and/or solution of said problems.
Ever tried flash or java on any browser? I can guarantee it's crashed the platform.
Again, my browser doesn't just spontaneously get up and crash from idling. Memory leak? absolutely in firefox. That however, is moot. You seem to disregard that.
again, you clarified that you are a right wing/nutjob.
Even reading WMD in the first place shows the issue, and standing by your assertion is not exactly helping.
The US has problems with corruption, but a lot of what is going on right now is a result of people trying to get rid of the corruption we have. It's going to take us many years. be patient and not scream about how "they're takin our gunz/liberties".
why do you sidetrack? This isn't about ANY os. Whether windows or linux. This is about a browser. It has nothing to do with command line.
You can absolutely have a windows computer without a built in HTML renderer. MS has simply tied it into the core OS. How do you fail to understand this?
It's not like they're suddenly forced to stick to dos just because internet explorer isn't preinstalled.
Nobody said they mustn't have an HTML renderer. What we're saying is it doesn't have to be IE. If all that is automatically on the computer is the selection tool, which is an HTML renderer? That's acceptable.
Meanwhile, forcing IE as a built in HTML renderer? Do you actually understand why we're in the situation we're in?
What are you doing exactly that firefox crashes? Other than jinitiator problems, there's almost nothing that can do so.
Your lack of information makes me skeptical of vying for firefox instability. In fact, it sounds downright misleading. This is like saying "My car stalls sometimes". The answer is, sure, it does, but what are you doing to cause it? Firefox doesn't just "Crash on it's own" and neither does any browser.
Likewise, the same basically applies to safari, IE8, etc. As much as all browsers have security risks, their instabilities mostly don't exist.
what google's doing is not tying. What MS does, is indeed tying. I think you might want to try to understand legally what that means before you make such an incorrect statement.
It's one thing to pay someone to bundle, it's another to refuse someone from being able to unbundle (essentially the issue of illegal tying).
Ever tried to remove internet explorer from windows? Yeah, just a little bit of tying there./sarcasm.
so let me get this straight: google, which is located in the us, is being complained about for having connections in the US? And this is coming from the chinese news, which is located in china, and has connections with China? ror.

sopssa? It's inconsistent. It's one of those MS trolls that goes back and forth to confuse people on MS topics.
me? I'll commit seppeku before willingly choosing a MS product.
it never failed to run linux. Sony just doesn't want to support it anymore.
It'll still happen anyway, I'm sure.
software runs off math. So no, software should not be patentable. It's not a sequence of 1's and 0s, it's binary math.
All your cpu is doing, is performing math really fast.
You have absolutely no idea how many linux and apple gamers use windows simply because it's the only thing that will run their games.
hint: a ton. I'd go so far as to say even half of all pc gamers.

who said the bureacracy tests hardware? certification labs are supposed to do the testing. it sounds like they aren't.
apparently whatever magic topics you have in your head have no connotation with reality.
none of what you're talking about was anywhere near the context or implications of what I replied to.
You're freakin crazy dude. Maybe you should get checked for schizophrenia, seriously.

I wonder how loosely defined public information will be for this? Meanwhile what's the use with foia exemptions?

not really. bing is default. People have to switch it to google (or go to google.com) if they want google to be the default search.
so let me get this straight: google, which is located in the us, is being complained about for having connections in the US? And this is coming from the chinese news, which is located in china, and has connections with China? ror.
