Fuck you for only comparing about the speed of your browser, never mind all the incompatibilities IE has introduced that make it hell to do Web Development.
What is they are on your harddrive, but never run? Do they still need updates?
No. Of course the best thing to do would be to remove them all together. Must have been to hard for Microsoft to actually do that (or too difficult, I am now convinced that Microsoft is run by a bunch of incompetents).
It is as bad as I describe, have you ever lived anywhere else.
Depending on when I travel, it can take 15 minutes to get home, or it can take 45 minutes to get home. The city of Sydney is like a bunch of highways connected together, with shopping malls in the middle. The whole things is a joke, it is all built for cars.
They should close down a couple of the streets, and leave them just for buses. There is no good reason for everybody to be driving through the city.
Must be a lot of fun, that html editor. Oh, looks like someone has modded me down on slashdot, hold on a second, tap tap tap tap, thats better, now I have a +50.
But I don't want to catch the train yesteday, I want to catch todays train.
In fact, public transport in Sydney is a joke. Most buses for me stop right at the edge of town, a mile from the center. Each trip costs a ticket, you don't get 2 hours of transport included. And the bus which takes me into town, the only one that actually goes to the center of town, doesn't stop for me on the way back. It keeps going for 20 minutes, to the middle of nowhere, as I discovered at 2am one day. There are also special buses were you can't but a ticket on them, so if you don't have one by 10pm, you are screwed.
On top of that every fucker drives, so the traffic is horrendous.
You often see bluray owners making up bullshit to justify their purchase.
They also sit their studying every frame in great detail, rather than just watching the movie. Same people love 200hz tvs, where the tv makes up 3 extra frames - which is going to be way superior to just displaying one frame for 4 times as long. What a load of shit.
The thinking is that there is a natural state of evolution, where man has no effect. Then there is evolution you get when man does have an effect, such as fishing. They call this reverse evolution, because they feel the natural state would be for fish to get bigger.
Sure, it makes sense, sort of, but most people have a limited understanding of this stuff, especially when they don't believe in it.
Not just x86, but this guy clearly doesn't know anything about CPU/GPUs at all. Kinda like an old friend of mine, convinced he was going to design his own CPU, despite not knowing anything about computer hardware. Or even computer software. Sure could play games though, and smoke a lot of dope.
We hate and distrust Microsoft...does this really need to be explained every single fucking time.
Just because this place has been invaded by Microsoft shills, and people who don't know anything but Microsoft, and people who don't know how to use a cmd line so Microsoft lets them pretend to be IT experts, doesn't mean Slashdot should change the way it is.
Exactly, no need to look past Bill himself, Microsoft was a huge money earner, but his recent business seems to be losing money left, right and center.
You are simply ignoring them because they do not fit your theory.
I don't think he is ignoring him because they don't fit his theory, I think you don't hear about these people, where as we constantly hear about the successful ones.
It can also go the other way. I come from a rich family, therefore I don't have to work hard, since I will be well off anyway.
A lot of rich families pamper their children, and don't instill in the them the same need to work. Bill got away with it, I think, because of a natural interest in computers, that a lot of us here have.
Have you actually read the book, or are you just jumping to some huge conclusion based on this review? This doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do.
Slashdot Mirror
It is more for the retailers to do, they get paid for this.
You should install every application ever invented then, becuase if, you know, if you need to install it, you don't want to have to find the media.
I hope you have a big harddrive.

We could, but apparently we couldn't tell anyone about it, at least not in the UK.

We have the same problem in Australia with Channel 9 (or channel US as I call them) copyrighting its tv listings.
These two companies are a joke. Scum, the lot of em. It is what happens when you let lawyers make decisions for you.
Yeah, but in geologic time, that is really recent.

If we could somehow integrate the photon torpedoes to initiate a reverse tachyon beam, I think we might have a real challenger on our hands.
Too much Star Trek?

Never worked in Software Development, have you?
Or Palm os, or new Palm os, or symbian, or J2ME, or android????
the motorola f3 has an eink display. I don't recommend reading a book on its 8 character display. Even SMS are a chore. battery last for ages though.
Vista is the worst piece of shit I have ever used. If 7 is based on Vista, I find it hard to believe that it is usable. Vista makes OS 7 look good.
You really are amazingly ignorant, do you just skip any article on Slashdot that doesn't have windows in the title?
Not, it is not. There can be no finer goal that too look at big titties, or medium titties, or even small titties.

It sounds like the author neglects to mention...
