Blogging can't be useful (that is, as useful as it can be) without heated debates and arguments?
Is it censorship if posts which flame are removed, or is it simply removing bad content so that other users don't have to put up with that crap? The article doesn't even mention what type of heated posts they were (anti-Japanese or anti-Chinese).
I doubt it will be used for retail DVDs as it wouldn't be cost-effective.
However, it may yet be useful in securing workprints and pre-release copies. That would decrease bootlegging. A workprint of Star Wars III hit the BitTorrent networks yesterday. You can be sure George is looking to employ this technology when he makes his next Indiana Jones.
First, let us both agree that killing two birds with one stone is a good thing. Second, let us recognize that "News for nerds" and "Stuff that matters" are two things.
Then logically, putting that kind of commentary in article summaries is clearly killing both "birds", "News of nerds" and "Stuff that matters", which we agreed was a good thing.
Well maybe as a software engineer I should. But does anyone that isn't a software engineer care? Probably not. Case closed. And guess what KHTML's team is? That's right. Full of software engineers. Which is why they care.
Secondly, developers should prioritise releasing their products on time, even if they "may have to cut corners". Software developers in the open-source world make software because they love to. They want to make their project (note: not product) the best it can be. Releasing products on time is straight from the Marketing Department.
Goodger has every right to give an opinion, but no right to flame others for caring about their projects, much like Mozilla used to, before they gave up a large part of their community.
Love for a project, not releasing products in a timely fashion is what makes open-source different, and much appreciated.
"Although not a scientific sample" refers to the number of visitors who responded to the survey, and not to the conclusions of the survey.
Don't get me wrong. I do not wish to impose that people believe that FOSS's main advantage is cost, nor do I believe it myself. My point is, that even though their population sample is not scientific, and perhaps this means that their survey is not scientific, and shouldn't be taken seriously, their conclusions are nonetheless quite incorrect.
Oh of course nothing is free. However, my post merely sought to explain my perspective that the facts were skewed.
I believe in using whatever works for you, be it Windows, Linux or even SCO Unix. But they skewed the results and concluded something which isn't substantiated. That's wrong, free or not.

If they were bought out, they would be funded by the sale to Microsoft itself, via the current shareholders.
Essentially, they'd be selling the Redhat name and current products to Microsoft.
And then the RH executives who lost their jobs as a result of the shutdown should just make a new company, with the same, or similar, products.
How does Microsoft win?
IE lite? You mean less features than IE already has? I think that's called telnet isn't it?
The real question is: Does the CEO of AOL use an AOL address and if so, how big is his car in order to compensate for this?
If you don't believe there is a rivalry, and a mutal hatred, between Ellison and Gates, feel free to look it up.
I'm not saying they do everything because of their dislike for each other. But this, to me, reeks of it.
Perhaps you'd like to explain why you think it doesn't?
Nope. Articles I have read over the years, such as this or this, tell me that Ellison hates Gates.
Perhaps I should have posted the links above in my original comment.
Oracle is by no means doing this philanthropically. They're doing it because Ellison despises Gates and Ballmer, and he's seen what Firefox has done.
He's a bragart, and if Lightning delivers what Firefox has, you can be sure he'll be publicly thumbing his nose at Gates.
You'd win this competition, seeing as you just won this thread.

Actually there's an 18 and older category as well.
I wonder if an entry with some of Microsoft's own deeds would win.
Of course, now that I've come up with the idea, no one else can do it, lest they defeat the spirit of the Thought Thieves competition.
Is that M. Night Shyamalan's new movie?
More appropriately, can Google host a page that it cannot cache?
Try Synaptic
Actually "Phatak" is one of the ways in which Indians describe the sound of an explosion, i.e. it's essentially "Boom!" in Hindi.

how many window users can maintain their windows box properly
Apparently not even Sir William H. Gates III can*. He has been hit by malware and spyware in the past.
*Details in the fifth paragraph.
It's Where's Wally in UK, NZ and other places, and Where's Waldo in the US. Don't ask me why.
If you're searching Google to find out where your friends are hanging out, perhaps technological integration isn't exactly your biggest problem.
Searching in a crowd? This is going to ruin "Where's Wally" for generations to come.
Do no evil my ass.

Unless they believe in the old adage, "You pay for what you get", in which case costing less isn't a benefit.
