You can change the language quite easily on Linux, per user. But you need to log off and log in again, or you can set the language for a single program on the command line (LANG=language_code name_of_program).
On ms windows xp, you need to restart the computer and the setting is system-wide, and I'm only talking about changing the default codepage of non-Unicode applications, and it's a system-wide setting. I don't have dual-language ms-windows versions (I know some do exist, like French-Arab used in North Africa), so I don't know about the language of the interface and multi-languages aware programs in that case. It's always in French for me, and I can't change it.
Now, Microsoft has Windows and IE asking so many security messages, that the users automatically say yes, once again, reducing all of their efforts to ashes. When a program ask the user to "confirm" (without even authentification) for each byte it receives from the network (without much clue about the signification of that byte), you can't say the user is reducing their security efforts to ashes. Asking the user to be the IP stack is not the solution.
I'm exagerating of course, but I hope you get the point, asking an uneducated user is not a security measure.
And you still can't run IE under a separate user account. I think you're wrong on that point, there's no reason runas wouldn't work.
Of course, when you register to DarkWeb, you give your identity. Obviously, 5% of registered people didn't enter their real identity. Now, the biggest problem is to get terrorists to register to and use that DarkWeb thingy. But with such a kewl name and a good advertising campaign, it shouldn't be too hard.
What about the brilliant inventor who comes up with a very complicated system but has no capital with which to finance a prototype? I think there are lots of precedents where industrials were waiting for the patent to expire before doing the implementation, so it's of no use for the inventor.
So, well, I don't think there's another practical solution other than finding someone to finance him (by employing him in a R&D department or by financing him).
BTW, in some countries there are innovation agencies (like Oseo (ex Anvar) in France), whose goal is to help those brilliant inventors and start-ups.
In that case I will feed the troll. Just about the "human nature" thingy, as the licensing issues are addressed in other posts, and I will just ignore the insults.
Socialism is incompatible with human nature It's plain wrong. In case you didn't notice, you're living in a society, like bees or chimpanzees. Societies do not exist in purely individualist species (I'm not even sure if that exists in vertebrates). As I consider you a troll, I won't care to enter into more details, I hope sensible persons will get the point.
the profit motive is basic human nature It seems quite popular in the USA, but many people favor actually enjoying their life rather than doing whatever they can to maximize profit. Hardly "basic human nature".
Both companies struggle for the dominance in the living room. Except that MS is torn between its internal divisions: they get most of their money by licensing software to hardware companies and with the XBox also are a hardware company competing with their licensees... I wonder if they're not limiting themselves with the XBox to not lose these licensees...
How do that registration thing work, and what's the use ?
In France, you're signing a register (sorted alphabetically) when you vote, so at the end of the day there is no way to know in what order people came or voted.
The rumor is that Microsoft paid Paramount $50M, and Dreamworks $100M, to make this switch (until now they had been neutral). Why would Microsoft do this? What about a strategy for their entertainment division ?
If BD is the standard, MS will have a hard time selling XBox360, as the PS3 will act as both "game center" and "media center".
If BD is not the standard, all is well for MS as they're selling XBox360 as a game center, Windows MCE to plenty of OEM that produce media center PCs, MS TV to plenty of digital tv operators, their own HD online store...
So instead of one Sony product and a STB (possibly MSTV), you get 4 MS products.
And your exemple exhibits the same problem (dozens of...) the OP was complaining about:
Back - Forward : does it mean previous page next page or does it work like in the browser, that is if you're page 15 and you're jumping page 80, back will get you page 15. Page navigation is already present in the bottom left corner anyway.
Fit to... : why a separator from other zoom options here ? Also these are already present in the drop-down. You might like it as a shortcut, the bar can be customizable, but this shouldn't be here in the default setup
Zoom tool : Yet another zoom thing ? You don't have anything other to do when reading docs than zooming in and out ?
Navigation and zooming are here, with much less place taken.
Now what's missing in Evince :
Open Recent : Who use that anyway ? People use the browser to do that. It's in the file menu, and if you want a shortcut there's Ctrl-O like in all applications.
Select tool : I think you're always in select mode. Like with most other apps. So you might like the hand to grab the page but this is not consistent with file/web browser, office suites...
Ghost Script messages : This one is ridiculous, it's not like people are reading this. As a developer, starting from the console and watching stderr is good enough.
Reviews : Apparently, that's the only useful feature in Okular that's missing in Evince
The more things change, the more they stay the same...
I also found odd that that "Parallel Processing Corp." is nowhere to be found on the web (except related to this lawsuit). I did some research in this other post.
I was seeking who were "Parallel Processing Corp." (IP corp or are they actually producing something ?) but having such a generic name doesn't help, and searching for "parallel processing corp" / "parallel processing corporation" only gives links related to this lawsuit.
I found the filing, and a short but interesting explanation here
There also seems to be quite a few events about parallel processing in Newport Beach, like the Seventh International Parallel Processing Symposium (April 13-16, 1993)
So has someone a clue about that "Parallel Processor Corp." ?
They hate their customers.
More likely... It sounds like Comcast has received a big, fat check from Microsoft. What's the difference ?:P
Both statements aren't mutually exclusive, and they sure don't care much about these consumers that are not using MS products. And in a GWB America, "you're either with us or against us". I proved they're not with these customers, so Comcast sure are terrorists hating their US customers freedoms. QED.
Another bad news is that MS will somehow manage to "interpret" the ODF standard incorrectly and cripple its functionality making it look inferior in the eyes of the user. I can see that as good news, if it takes "the Firefox way" : You have the choice between a free office suite that render ODF correctly and a paid for one that does render ODF incorrectly. People have no qualms about having many software installed (they can and do already read PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Reader). Therefore increased mindshare for OpenOffice.org, and the start of the decline of MS-Office market share.
More like 0.2 to 0.3 seconds : Reaction time, Mental chronometry And a little test, here in French, but I'm sure you can find something similar in English.
If you get (26 +/- 15)% saying 26% without the interval of confidence is meaningless.
When you consider a formula you ought to consider margins of error every time. If you get 10 significant figures for your gravity formula, your result is plain wrong because it's not 9.8m/s^2 it's more something like (9.80 +/- 0.02)m/s^2, so getting anything more precise is an error (and of course height, aerodynamic coefficients etc. have margins of errors, too).
So, from 1995 to 2005, an increase of 227%, correspondig to an annual increase of 8,5%. And, from 2000 to 2005, an increase of 239%, corresponding to an annual increase of 19,1%.
What about somebody writing a browser extension that performs bogus searches in the background, for no better reason than to frustrate "profiling" attempts? Is this feasible? Already done
Actually I've never seen them on a Linux platform. Zombies are not a problem though. See here for example.
What I've seen that is a problem are processes in "D" state (ininterruptible sleep waiting for the end of an I/O IIRC), usually happening with bad drivers / bad hardware.
But contrary to the windows platform, it never clutters your desktop, as you can "xkill" X ressources even if the program still uses ressources in the background.
I found a rebuttal of that theory in one of the first google links for "allah moon god"
Last paragraph:
Finally, Jesus Christ and many of his disciples spoke Aramaic. In the Aramaic language the word for the Almighty God is 'Allaha' and the name of Jesus is 'Iessa'. There are records of Jesus praying in Aramaic to his God 'Allaha". Also I would add that Allah means God in arab (like Dieu means God in French), and it isn't the name of God. See Yahweh, 99 names of God.
The God is the same as you can find in the Islam article:
[Muslims] do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Islamic tradition holds that Judaism and Christianity distorted the messages of these prophets over time either in interpretation, in text, or both.

... for MS to undermine Blue-Ray adoption...
Look at my precedent comment.
Now you don't need a STB in the last line.

It's Microsoft that introduced the (in)famous Hungary notation.

Hungary officials obviously weren't pleased

Oops, sorry, I meant an increase of 127% and 139% : 2005 budget is 227% of 1995 budget, that's a 127% increase. Idem for 2000 to 2005 budget.
70 % of the budget from FY95 to FY06 (up to August 31), in tens of millions of dollars,
third column for 100% :
95 1850 2643
96 1950 2786
97 1800 2571
98 1775 2536
