Monoply: (economics) a market in which there are many buyers but only one seller; "a monopoly on silver"; "when you have a monopoly you can ask any price... Last time I checked, Microsoft does has a market share and is an alternative, although mostly crap.
Someone, please remind me how much market share desktop linux has?
Market share has nothing to do with firefox being a news and opera not. The matter of the fact is that Opera is not open source. Firefox is. Also, opera's html rendering implementation, while fast in general from either IE or firefox, crawls to its knees when you go to a script heavy (WEB2.0 for some people) site. This was the primary reason I stopped using it even though I like it a lot.
Flawed logic. You ALWAYS punish people AFTER they have committed their crimes. The purpose is not to stop them but to make an example of anyone else who intends to repeat the crimes.
>>Including random chance ( which everyone knows is seldom all the random.)
Random chance? What does random chance has to do with anything? We are talking about evolution which is everything BUT random chance. It is no more random than climbing stairs.
Just because you can't understand (or don't want to) evolution, doesn't make it random
Purely theoretically speaking, it is possible to make a camera which captures a 3d surface.
An image sensor in a camera is made up of Light dependent transiters which biasness changes depending on light exposure (magnified by a lens of course). Now add a laser distance measurer along with each pixel (crazy idea, I know) which would enable you not only to capture the color of each pixel but also its distance. This will record a 3d image which would be, using two of more sensors, walked around like in bladerunner.
Google Docs, when being run over a fast computer with a decent network connection is just as joy to use.
Okay maybe not joyful:P but I do get to use it once in a while and never had any complaints.
I'm sure you would agree that maintaining any kind of servers take a lot of effort and money. Now Google has no former experience or desire to go in application hosting business. They do have a lot of webserver on their disposal though and they can, without investing significant amount, host all sort of web applications (google docs included).
Exactly. I say that there should be a law that anyone who changes their behavior under surveillance should be hanged, no exceptions. As its has been proven by pete-classic that they are guilty. I would go further to say that govt should install CCTVs in everyone's bedroom
I have used Citrix and to be honest, it is horrible. A royal pain in the ass to use on a regular basis. I would take Google docs any day over that torture.
Soviets were an enemy you could locate on a world map. The so called Radical Islamist are a phantom enemy. Its much easier to cause fear by an enemy which you can't see (and doesn't exist) and yet is told be be all around you and watching your every move.
Again, if it does get pulled towards the gravity, the theory which says that antimatter travels back in time would be in jeopardy due to the same reason.
Well since everyone seems to speculate, I would say that it would go against the gravity.
The reason being that according to a theory I read somewhere, antimatter travels back in time and if that theory is correct, gravity would cause it to fall but since it is moving back in time, the movement will be in reverse.
because it is actually a shell. Just think of the nerdiness.
Ok in seriousness, I can think of a very useful functionality. As you keep on searching, the whole session is on a single page. No need going back and forward between wikipedia/google/maps... all results on a single page and you can just call up the search history like regular shell by pressing upkey.
Slashdot Mirror
I just downloaded it and trying it out. It seems to be faster for now although the scrolling is still jerky. I'm on linux btw.
The people on slashdot care.
Excellent point. Both windows mobile and UIQ has that particular feature. I also remember having this in nokia 7110 (not a smartphone by any standard)

Although I highly doubt it will happen.

the porn industry is the one pushing the development of internet!
:P
There, fixed.
And yeah, you are

>>I hear this a lot, and I distinctly remember holding out on XP for a few years, because 98 was 'good enough'.
I wonder how XP got so stable in just a few years?
You are trying to teach some sense into confused slashdotters?
[Accept] [Deny]
>>Psychologists have known this for years
Well, at least now we know that unlike US, German Govt isn't run by psychologists.

I was with you and actually clicked the URL until I saw http:///
There should be no simple http:/// on a site which claims to be the home to paranoids. SSL isn't a new technology either.
And while I'm at it, I hate lameness filter

In that case I guess money well spent? huh?
Amazing how delusional some people are.
>>Modern ARMs are very good. Much, much better than the XScales
Xscale IS ARM. Look it up.
What you wrote is totally amazing.
Although I have to ask, would you be kind enough to share what you're smoking?
So what you are saying is that linux is not like windows but is like unix? and yet in your last line, you say that its a ripoff of windows?
