the textbook definition of Web 2.0, that hypothetical next-generation Internet where people contribute as easily as they consume.
I thought that was the 1.0 part. And then the 1.5 came, with ads and spyware and spam and phishing. I thought 2.0 would be more like 1.5, only prettier and buildt on asynchronous use of some markup language.
Try going to a black metal concert, and yell that they must all be extremely smelly and extremely homosexual, since they are confined to such a small space:)
No. If you've got some clearly defined ideological goal, hiding it behind "practical, logical arguments" won't help (also, it's called having a hidden agenda, which is considred a Bad Thing(tm)). What if it's proven that statistically, closed source is more secure, more innovative, cheaper etc than open source. Then the Open Source Initiative is out of arguments as to why open source is a good idea. The FSF, on the other hand, can keep using the same arguments they are now.
Of course, if you disagree with the ideology, and only care about the practical, logical arguments, you won't mind giving up on open source in such a scenario. I would, though.
I don't know much about GNOME, but most of KDE (including KOffice) is scriptable via DCOP. DCOP can be used via the command line, or in several languages (python, ruby, perl, java, perhaps more). For building a program (yes, with a nice shiny gui) quickly and effectivly, use Kommander.
Supposedly Netscape 7 can use Explorer for certain websites and the Mozilla rendering engine for others[...] IE Tab offers that functionanlity as a FF plugin.
Wow. I've had some problems with linux as well, but never had to reinstall.
Sounds like your'e trolling, though. I mean, the problem you describe is related to the kernel only. How can that say anything about FLOSS' ability to coopoerate and "run together nicely"?
Examples of open source "running nice togehter" include jack with applications like Hydrogen and Ardour, or media codecs like OGG and FLAC with media players (like XMMS). In areas where a defined protocol or standard exists, open source excels. I mean, look at projects like Apache, Mozilla-projects, Jabber, libxml and many more.
Then why don't the gnome devs just spend their time creating default configs for KDE? There must be some more reasons for their differences (Yes, I know about the old license problems).

Have MSN offered to pay Apple per search? Anyway, Apple is not using their browser to support their own search engine. MS is.

I think that qualifies as "too much work".

BadAnalogyGuy just got some competition :)
Unfortunately, that may take a while, though.
But they should download and maybe even unselect amateur radio?
And I've been cursed by 8.3, and always read .dmg as "damage". Ugh.
Well, this is true, if a little whiny, no?
Heard of free(3)?
Natively, through QT4. No X server, but not on Aqua.
I just have FF launch an external program (xpdf) to view PDF's. That would be a bother with the bloated Adobe Reader, of course.
You may be right, peple starving in Africa is not in need of laptops. But you are aware there are millions of people in africa not starving, right?
Yes, the only reason my father isn't on linux, is because of software he uses at work (adobe pagemaker (not so much photoshop), ms office).
Please. Your way is just a spelling error that stuck.

1. Surprise, your 3.11 box is insignificant! 2. I'm guessing the virus does not do gui stuff.

And after the form was submitted, they could pull the same trick again, displaying a "thank you"-page. And then link to the correct domain from there.
The link could lead to a new page, and the onlick handler could use the solution proposed by GP. But point taken :)

Shouldn't you say "a TRON" as in "a UNIX"? I mean, the implementations often differ.
