Now now - Schumacher is performing as good as ever. (Save for the occasional bumping into other cars...) His problem in his second career is the lack of a competitive car.
... for creating a site I've been reading daily since 1997. As a matter of fact I made a habit of saving/. for last during the morning routine of checking the various websites I'm reading. Save the best for last so to speak.
Best luck for your future endeavours, and I hope to hear from you soon, Commander. Suggestion: Apply at Google, then port Google+ to Slashcode.
because Baidu, the most popular search engine over there, is working on a browser of its own which guessing by the screenshots is based on Chrom{-e, -ium}.
Have a look at this graph. The marketshare of Mozilla Firefox is steadily increasing.
I doubt Google are going to try and compete with Firefox. Chrome will rather be aimed at Internet Explorer users. Expect to see 'Unhappy with your web browser? Try Google Chrome!' ads whenever you are on Google.com with IE soon.
The latest Firefox 3 nightly beat Safari 3.1 as well as the latest WebKit nightly on my iMac (2.0 GHz C2D, 2 GB RAM). You might want to run your own tests; you'll find that Firefox 3 is pretty damn quick.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. OpenStep/GNUStep may look dated nowadays, but (IMHO) it still looks better than Aqua. And don't get me started about most GTK themes.
Offtopic: The Wizard of Oz was on TV here as well earlier today.
Ontopic: Am I the only one who thinks the author of TFA is a NeXT nostalgic? Most of the article (as well as other articles on the site, like the one about Taligent/Pink) were mostly about how NeXT had all the technology long before the competition - which is true - and how NeXT was hurt by the evil empire's vapourware announcement about NT/Cairo.
[...] I was able run Panther and use Expose just fine on my 1997 iMac with four megs of memory, for example. [...] How did you pull that one off? Not even the classic MacOS 7.x would run with anything less than 16 MBytes of RAM on PowerPC hardware... for MacOS X running with 4 MBytes you must have come up with some hardcore optimisations.
I have long pondered where under the sun man should live and this answer was revealed to me: God meant for man to live where he can grow grapes.
It's that simple, really. If the grapes like the climate, so will we. And, if not, at least we will have wine.
They grow grapes and make wine in parts of Michigan, don't they?
Now there's an idea for the reconstruction of Detroit: Turn it into a huge vineyard...
Word 6 for the Macintosh was essentially WinWord 6 run through a cross-compiler. The most noticable Windows-ism were the underlined letters in the menus, which were completely useless on the Mac...

It gets worse - Debian has a graphical installer now. I felt dirty using it to give Squeeze a try in a VM earlier.
Think about it: Novell hold the copyrights and trademarks to UNIX. They would make for a nice addition to Microsoft's portfolio, don't you think?

How about the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark, produced by the WebKit developers?

Jabber is still supported. The account type is now called 'XMPP' though.
I prefer the sterile, un-skinned look of Pidgin to the colourful skins you get for other messengers. (ICQ 6 is one of the worst offenders here.)
There is an add-on for Internet Explorer providing (amongst other things) functionality similar to AdBlock: IE7Pro.
You mean people like him?

Damn, I need to preview my posts.
They were NeXT.

Yuck. And here I thought this site was the worst page ever. (What's even more embarrassing: I know the Romanian who came up with this nightmare.)

Actually it was Doublespace (which came with MS-DOS 6.0) and later Drivespace (which came with MS-DOS 6.22).
You can save files as Word 97-2003 .doc. You can even tell Word to use the old file format as default. Imagine that.
Seconded. It beats the Cmdr's favourites hands down - and works in all three browsers I've tested it in (FF 1.5.0.3, Opera 9b2, IE7b2) also.
