  1. Re:a piano or a CD player? on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1
    Good analogy.


    Windows User: "I want to listen to some music. How do you play a CD on this thing?"
    Linux Zealot: "Why don't you just learn how to play the piano, what are you, lazy and stupid?"

  2. Re:"funny" but true on IE7 Released and Available for Download · · Score: 1
    I've got a laptop in my office I use for testing, so I installed IE7 on that.
    After rebooting, I started IE and it diplayed a page with browser options - but didn't allow me to change them because it was frozen. Then it crashed. I restarted IE and it came up with a "Page can't be displayed" message on the default home page. I could browse other sites, but this is not exactly helping Microsoft shed their image of releasing unstable products...

    I'm not a Microsoft basher, and I'm pretty browser agnostic, I've been impressed with the IE7 Beta3, but based on my experience... the guy you referred to has reason to be worried.

    I'm sticking with Firefox for now. We have one third-party app that requires IE, and I'm not about to install IE7 at this point, because I don't want it crashing.

    If they can show the publishers haven't been enforcing their copyrights, then the publishers can't win an infringement judgement against them. At least that's what I've been lead to believe by IP lawers - if that's correct, the "everyone is doing it" argument, at least in IP law, is valid.

    Unrelated to that, since when is Google not one of the "big corporate players?"

    I agree, people who misuse apostrophe's are the worst.
