  6. Re:That is one thing... on Chrome On the Way For Mac and Linux · · Score: 1

    When I first heard about Chrome, I was sure it was a custom version of Firefox with a differect Chrome because of the name (by "when I first heard of Chrome" I mean the seconds until I clicked the headline and read about what it was).

  7. Re:Enough already... on Chrome On the Way For Mac and Linux · · Score: 1

    Why not? Moonlight 2 should be released around April, at which point Silverlight will support all 3 major platforms, and, unlike flash, will have an Open Source implementation.

  8. Re:Still making 32 bit? on 32bit Win7 Vs. Vista Vs. XP · · Score: 1

    Or less than 1GB, in which case running a 64-bit OS is a pain due to increased pointer memory usage.

    Isn't the Wii sold at a profit?

    Meh? I *love* the awesomebar. It's so nice and easy to read. What's not to like about it?

  11. I guess that settles it on Linux At the Point of Sale · · Score: 4, Funny

    Linux's critics will call it a POS operating system.

  15. Re:I wonder on Sun Buys MySQL · · Score: 1

    Actually, I use a text editor to jot down all sorts of data that I want to maintain. It's easy, it's quick, and it's portable. And yes, sometimes I even use tabs to put tabular data into my text editor (since in most editors tabs jumps to the next tabpoint [whatever they're called], it works rather smoothly). It might be an abomination, but it takes less time than jotting it down with MySQL queries.

  16. Re:real solution: interim "preOS" on Startup Offers Instant-Boot Windows Alternative · · Score: 1

    Really? Kubuntu boots from your BIOS? (they didn't say that's what it does, but since it's bundled with motherboards, it's unlikely that it's anything else).

    My suggestion: start off with Python/Ruby, move on to C and, when you mastered it, add some C++ in.

  19. Re:Breeze to Program on MS To Push Silverlight Via Redesigned Microsoft.com · · Score: 1

    This is your big misunderstanding. What makes Mono a "systemwide library system" and Flash just a library? Do they go in different folders? Is installing Adobe Flash not "modifying your system"? Yes. Flash can be installed into the user's home directory. Mono cannot be (or if it can, it rarely is).

    No linux support. Count me out.

    Don't forget:

    1. Gradual improvement on all fronts (except for Firefox), Gnome 2.20, Ubuntu 7.10, Linux 2.6.23, and KDE 3.5 released (not necessarily in that order).

    2. Compiz Fusion is officially mature.

    3. KDE 4 nears release.

    4. Fedora 8 showcases some of the goodies of next year's distros: PulseAudio, NetworkManager 7, Linux 2.6.23.1 (which is starting to trickle into Arch, Slack and Debian) and a more refined SELinux.

    5. The gPc is out, received warmly.

    Linux [any]?

    You're honestly comparing one OS that comes with only a minimal featureset to a plethora of OSs, each of which comes with a full repository of applications?

    Come on.

  25. Re:Beta in production environment. on The Setup Behind Microsoft.com · · Score: 1

    h thats right you can't 'uninstall' patches on *nix. Well, *nix has a different patching model. Since *nices are not usually divided into operating system and applications, but are modularized, uninstalling a "patch" (read: package upgrade) simply means removing a package or installing an earlier version of it.
