I can't recall any website that I've been to in Firefox that didn't let me in because I wasn't using IE. Perhaps I just don't go to the same sites that you do, but I'd think that if "many sites" exhibited that behavior, I'd see at least one of them.
Whoa, 10,000 word article! You expect me to read that? Besides, there's like 17 pictures on there. With the conversion rate, that's 27,000 words! Forget that, buddy!
While I agree with you, their meaning is that the user doesn't have to run an installer in order to use this software. To the typical end user, saying "run from current location" is equivalent to running it directly from the Internet; they don't know or care that a temporary copy of the file is saved to disk and run from there.
Actually, there are some things that I have written commandline PHP scripts to do. It's not often, but sometimes PHP is just the best tool for the job. Other times it's Perl. Other times it's a shell script, or C, or Java, or whatever. It all depends on what you're used to, what you're skilled at, and what problem you're trying to solve.

Actually, now that I've looked at the site, I can't help but wonder if they're announcing something else entirely. Maybe they mean that the "CherryOS" product is gone, and the cherryos domain is now for some phantom open source project that they plan to create under the name "Cherry" to try to regain some semblance of legitimacy.
Heh, first time I tried to load this story I got "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along." I can't help but wonder if the CherryOS people might make a similar statement in May when they're supposed to open the source.
Ah. I'm pretty sure I didn't realize "Moonunit" was another kid's name until I searched for it on Google, so that's why it went completely over my head.
I suspect timmy got a little miffed we were all making fun of him, so he ran through the whole article and slammed people with Offtopic mods. The way I see it, in this discussion, if you were talking about the book review, you were probably in the minority, and therefore offtopic yourself.
This story was originally posted in its entirety to the front page. I'm sure that none of are really that incompetent (though I have seen the whole front page in italics when Timothy forgot to close an

You may be thinking of cron-apt. I use it on my system at home, and it does a pretty good job.

I'm pretty sure that's what Gwyneth Paltrow named her kid.

But that's just me.
Sorry to reply to myself, but I just noticed that a lot of posts have gotten "Offtopic" mods since I posted my reply, and a thought occured to me.
If everyone's talking about the front page screwup, isn't that the topic?
I've never seen one that long on the front page before.

How ironic.
Google Car Insurance?
Google can help you search billions of pages on the Internet, but it won't save you any money on car insurance.
Geico.

Couldn't be! No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Even the people who are expecting it don't expect it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go vacuum up the exploded remains of my head.
I have a friend that does it quite regularly.
*shudder*... ugh, sure don't want to end up like him.
Is that shudder because of the "doing acid" part or the "trying to get IE to work properly" part?
