To be fair, it was handled differently than IE was. It was apparently only showing up on computers where the update program didn't detect an already installed antivirus program.
They are, but it's different. There is no head Linux guy that tells people what they're going to work on if they want to draw a pay check. It's whatever the particular outfit needs fixed. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm guessing that the people that are paid to work on Linux in general without being there to fix specific problems that a company needs fixed is the minority.
Incompetent management. Had they gone back to the drawing board with Win 98 and focused on stability, reliability and speed they'd be quite a bit further down the road than they are now. But since they chose to build their features on an unstable base they've had to fight with the perceptions of poor quality and stability for years. Rather than just bite the bullet, admit that it's the case and fix it. Resulting in them doing things in Vista and 7 which should've been done in ME and XP.
Generally, Apple reimplements other people's work. It's not a matter of ability, it's a matter of creativity. Very little of what Apple does is legitimately innovative. It's usually taking the next step after somebody else has done the hard work of creating a market.
And in the past you could say the same thing about MS and Intel as well. What you do is you take as much of your business away from them as you can, and preferably only buy things which are actually good.
It's really tough to get content providers online if you're not using DRM. Just look at how much work gog.com has gone to in order to procure games. And those are games that are years to decades old and are easily available in pirated form already.
Movies are almost certainly worse considering how much more cartel controlled they are than games.
But Netflix is a mostly US only company and the carriers can barely handle the traffic they're presently providing. I'm not sure that they could handle the extra traffic for Netflix. Or at least not in a way which is satisfactory. I know that just going over WiFi my connection often times can't handle it.
That depends how much the library is willing to pay. The local library here provides audio books in MP3 format. You have to download using a proprietary app, but once it's on your computer it's the honor system that you'll delete them when you're supposed to.
If I had points I'd mod you insightful. While the OP doesn't state it, I would assume that MS would be off the table, given that Larry Ellison is trying to be Bill Gates. But, if it's solely an Oracle problem, Office has nothing to do with that.
This was bound to happen eventually. But the process was accelerated by the right wing and the American exceptionalists who are completely unable to acknowledge when we need a course correction.
I'm not sure about these phones, but the Razrs, Nexus One and pretty much all the other ones have the slot right next to the SIM card slot or in a similar area. Sure it's not easily gotten to by people who don't know how, but it's hardly buried.
Technically speaking, they're usually confusing an acronym with an initialism. Sort of like snafu versus FBI. Then there's the confusing cases which have gone from initialism to acronym in ways most inexplicable such as SCSI.
Yeah, but it's getting there and it's not that much more than what normal folks spend on a vehicle. Since plenty of vehicles sell for that, this ought to be a serious step towards affordable transportation. That being said, that is still more than a year's salary for a lot of people.
Marketing. The US market tends not to be particularly friendly to diesel engines. Even though the fuel efficiency of them is so much better. The other problem is that diesel fuel isn't always the easiest to get. It's getting easier, but it's not offered at every fuel station.
It'll likely even out. GE is planning to work on the equipment that most electric care owners are going to want. Having better equipment and possibly more affordable could very easily result in a lower cost of ownership that would hit $7500.
Not necessarily. You'd be surprised how much more affordable things are if you pay in cash. You can always make yourself "loan" payments as soon as you pay for the vehicle. By the time your ready to replace it a couple decades later you could easily have that kind of money.
It's not bullshit. The Israeli government is currently committing several war crimes. For instance they've been pillaging Palestinian lands for resources and building in areas owned by the Palestinian authority.
Israel would have more standing to complain about the terrorism if they weren't themselves engaged in crimes against humanity.
Right, and they could cram the explosives up their ass as well. At some point you have to admit that there's no way of making things 100% secure. The scanners and procedures in place aren't going to detect ass based explosives.
That's funny, you do realize that in China the trials against political dissidents are just for show, right? The result is predetermined and I have yet to hear about one of those show trials going against the state.
The CIA doesn't have the legal authority to assassinate people. That was taken away quite a while ago, and no sitting President has rescinded it. Not even President Bush.
OTOH, people in various parts of Europe regularly get brought up on charges of denying the Holocaust and various other speech crimes.
Your solution involves the government telling businesses how to run. Consequently you'll get the free market nuts complaining about the unwarranted government intrusion and sabotaging the committees that are actually trying to write the legislation. Running on an anti-government platform has got to be the greatest scam of all time. Even if people do eventually see through it, you just go work for a lobbying firm and make huge sums of money screwing up the government even more.
It's unlikely that we ever will run out of IPv6 addresses as there's enough addresses to give each person living on Earth roughly 5×10^28 addresses. Which is quite likely going to be enough for anybody that could possibly follow in the future. So, it's technically possible, but for reasons related to the speed of light, physical size of the Earth and solar system it would be very difficult to ever get to the point where you need an IPv7.
At that point it would be more of a problem actually getting the data sent as the latency of most habitable planets would be measured in years. Even Mars which presumably could be made habitable would have a latency on average of a bit more than 14 minutes each way.

For now. They're in the process of merging in a lot of code from the Go OO.org folks. Should make for better compatibility with MS Office.

Or buy a motorcycle for what it costs to take the bus and rent a truck the couple times a year that you need it.
