Uhm, what artists, where? Both of these are Industry Associations, not artist associations. Artists are their no. 2 enemy, right behind customers. And their conjunction is already knows as the "Music And Film Industry Association of America".
More like: vehicle A ran fine on X fuel a mile, vehicle B needs X*4 fuel for the same distance. All while going slower and less safe, just the paint is a bit better. So, uhm, right, we're not ready for vehicle B.
90% of users are Joe Sixpacks, and still 35% of them jump through the hurdles to drop Vista. It's hard to imagine what Microsoft would need to do to fare worse than this.
Ugh, it's calculating things affected by moveable object what is expensive. Everything that deals with the scenery can be pre-calculated and stored in efficient data structures.
Even for random dungeons, calculating the shadows for fixed scenery needs to be done once. Objects, on the other hand, need to be done every single frame.
I'd say Adblock is the main feature which makes Firefox differ from other non-IE browsers. Safari, Galeon, Konqueror, and so on. All of them have security, no popups, tabs and so on. Yet only Firefox has a rich system of extensions.
Safari looks promising as a browser for when you're forced to use Windows, its own font rendering especially stands out. But no Adblock/PithHelmet/... -- no deal. Galeon and Konqueror are mostly meh. And since switching from CRT to LCD dragged me kicking and screaming into X (console on LCD sucks), eLinks lost its appeal.
Junk that separate machine, it's what VirtualBox is for. Or VmWare if you're into that.
I don't have the comfort of using MinGW right now and need to use an actual Windows devel environment -- but doing that inside the virtual machine makes Windows actually stable as somehow it can't cope with my motherboard natively.
Astrology is actually more valid than ID, since it's a scientific theory. About any variant of astrology is falsifiable -- it gives testable consistent predictions. Predictions which are largely false, but a disproved theory is still a theory.
It's not about inflicting damage directly. A dirty bomb covers a LARGE area and a large amount of people with miniscule amounts of radioactivity.
You'll have panic and massive political reaction. The area will be cordoned off, and the cleanup -- of real and imagined falloff -- taking millions in costs.
Uhm, wrong. Both parties consist mostly of criminals (lobbying = corruption, even if by the book it is legal). And both parties vote against public good. The populicrats just prefer the copyright mafia, robbing taxpayers and so on.
The few honest politicians can be found in both parties.
In fact, many have never encountered any Windows usability issues at all, never having tried it. And most of those who tried it didn't encounter any Windows usability either.
Ditto. This is fault mainly of the Windows filesystem API, which forces you to reboot in order to sucessfuly replace shared libraries. But why the hell would you need to reboot just to install software? (Let alone rebooting every night...) Actually, you don't need to -- but too bad, even Microsoft itself fails to recognize the trick. You cannot delete in-use files, yeah. There's no notion of an open but deleted file on Windows, unlike the Real OSes. But you can rename or move them. So why won't you move the open files away to some random temp dir and then mark them for deletion on reboot?
You still reboot for kernel updates (like on all other OSes) or to deal with memory leaks / misbehaving services (faulty userland), but nothing of that is needed to install an ordinary program like MovieMaker.
A good part of gas stations around sell "christened" fuel (ie, with water added). I somehow think they may have something else than the efficiency of your car in mind, though...
Ugh, due to that kind of thinking we still have to put up with crap like Nvidia's drivers.
I really wish all that buggy stuff was removed. I mean nvidia drivers, flash and things you put inside ndiswrapper. If only a fraction of the time we waste working around related bugs was put into nouveau and friends, all this discussion would be moot. And wireless producents would be forced to actually provide some docs.

Ugh, that's appaling, considering the gender of everyone who goes to LAN parties.
But actually... hey, do you know any network games played mostly by women?

Whew.
I love the "redundant" moderation of parent.
Actually, Pratchett borrowed that concept from an Indian myth.
(And no, it's not bad to borrow ideas, that's what our whole culture is based on, copyright notwithstanding.)
Indeed, HTML mail is a WTF in itself. But not so bad a WTF as even contemplating using Outlook.

A theory, something that ID is not.
"bling" is a real word. It came to English initially from the ghetto slang and became well established since.
"mouse potate"? "himbos"? Come on...

If they are allowed to break in, they can install a hardware keylogger. Which yes, does run against linux.

Idea: could you split packets between "Ti" and "bet"?
Reassembling the whole TCP stream for every flow would take a heap of memory and quite a bit of CPU, so I really doubt anyone they'll try that.

Repeat after me: ISPs are not common carriers. They have already bought other laws so the don't have to.
Well, copy&paste on URLs is a bitch, especially for long URLs which get mangled. Could you please read about an invention called the hyperlink?
Here's an example.

It appeared in stable yesterday.
New features don't get into stable. Security and grave bugfixes do.
