I was actually running chrome on my win7 box, but didn't care to download a plugin or run another browser. Also haven't set up virtualbox with ubuntu on it yet to test either.
so essentially yes, I was lazy, but I don't want to agree to any new disclaimers from MS.
actually, no. Shareware actually come out in a working format, even if limited in form. This guy is talking about releasing things before they're done, which is already pissing people off immeasurably. As it was stated elsewhere, when was the last time a major release of a video game was anything other than completely horribly at first?
Lots of games can and do fail because they're released before they are ready in many ways. This doesn't just mean programming completeness but also being able to handle the massive influx of players.
do you mean symbolic or symbiotic? I can't exactly find that term if you mean symbiotic.
Meanwhile, I agree about performance per watt but I do not agree about idle wattage. It's been shown that for many processors idle wattage is quite low in comparison. In fact, complete computer systems tend to use exponentially more power as they head closer to 100% load or above.
who said a car analogy has to be in the same league? It's only meant to be comparative. It was an accurate analogy for that specific reason.
The analogy was appropriate due to what it inferred: that an important situation is being hiddden, analogous to a known car problem not being reported. Yet, is that "in the same league" either? no. Is it a bad analogy for that reason? no.
grammar whore elsewhere. I want my 30 seconds of worktime back.
the most proving part of this is financial failure. Creativity runs on time, and not money - money just makes it easier. Really, this means that it can't fail in any semblance of the phrase as penguinisto has posted.
At the same time, piracy has been proven to only benefit creative endeavors, so why wasn't that looked at? gotta wonder about TFS about that.
using WAFL on a nas is not any more inventive than using ZFS on a NAS. Again, the parent is correct. Using any filesystem for a NAS is not inventive. It's been around for quite some time. They're also going after distributors rather than attack the ZFS patents they purportedly precede.
It's also quite impossible to prove any sort of patent violation for using ZFS on a NAS simply due to the competing software being patented.
If I use a product X, of which is infringing upon product y, I am not liable for uses of product X. The patent system doesn't support 3rd party liability. it's just distributors buckling under legal threats.
Really? What do you think happens if comcast tells every customer they must have a digital box and charges money for it? Have you ever heard of antitrust? Tying?
analog broadcast over public tv was removed. Not so over cable. However, yes, comcast would love to lose it, I'm sure.

yeah, "we'll provide cases for 2 months" is a bit of a cop-out unless they release a new version by then.
is there a link for them without WMV? I'd rather not rely on such
really? can you play without said registration code?

us is trying to do so, but not successfully.
there are lots of legal challenges that are leaning towards that they won't be able to do so.
opera? no browser comes with all the features we need. If we did, it'd be the only browser we used. What a stupid statement.
Meanwhile, is there a consensus between browsers? No, in fact it's leaning quite the other direction - some like safari, chrome, firefox, ie, etc.
Firefox however, like the others, warns you to be careful of addons and warns what they do. So it's good that they caught this.
this is actually damaging to the phone. that is a horrible idea for verizon and will very likely end up with a lawsuit again.
good job verizon/motorola!
well, given that we're talking data centers would they ever really run boinc? That sounds contrary to what a data center would od really.

I thought it's supposed to be the idea for basis for a bill?
its apple avoiding people from seeing facts.
It's not about apple's apt censorship of free speech, it's that taking such actions are entirely unethical and wholly inappropriate.
This would be like saying "hey, your car is prone to blowing up, but you don't need to know about that. come buy it!".
It'd actually do them better on their reputation to allow there to be a thread on it.
aren't they supposed to have actual (and proven unbiased) studies to back stuff up before they can legislate it?

money shot shampoo. creamy and 100% aids free!
so if I shower with money, that'll work as a HIV vaccine? That's the easiest solution I've ever heard!
this is the issue - those production and distribution expenses are being deducted before they exist.

classic overbearing corporate policy:
they mean well, vaguely, but the implementation is *horrible*.
comcast still does this, actually.
It's pretty much against regulations for them to be able to turn this off, too.
it's more like lawyers realize they can sound busy and make extra money by thinking that you have to sue anything remotely similar.
Just think - now you can find your favorite pornstar wow-players even easier!
I agree with this, but I think that signals to me that there should be better ways to deal with this than what we're looking at.
