Opera is even faster, uses even less memory, has tons of cool add-ons (not as much I admit) and is just as less likely to attract mal-ware. Heck, it even has a cooler name and logo. Even over a modem Opera is worth the download.
Firefox is great too, but most people I know use Firefox on the merits of its extensions and atleast in my case, had it not been for someone making Firebug (website debugging) I'd be over on Opera a long time ago because it just works better. Dragonfly, here I come.
Netscape "extended" HTML too and considering they're were main competitor in the extend-extend-extend! era that can hardly be overlooked. People just like to blame Microsoft for anything they can eh? There are legitimate complaints to be made but saying Microsoft did something out of the norm when it came to HTML back then is just plain zealotry.
Ugh. EVERYONE BROKE HTML. Microsoft just became the scapegoat because they became dominant in the field.
Our beloved ? Netscape. ? Netscape.
IE did it, Netscape did it, a lot of people did it and continue to do so.
"They've been subtly coerced into thinking that if they apply for jobs they'll get one." -- "you have to fight just to get an entry level job because the CADers and Photoshopers are taking up all the interviews proclaiming to be software engineers."
So they won't get the job, but they'll somehow make it harder for a qualified person to get the job? Quantum employment?
Also, stop perpetuating the outsourcing myth. It's bullplop. (look at the production costs of GTAIV)
How many people have actually used Vista to be able to comment? They just read these baseless Slashdot stories and assume it's true.
News at 11! Vista needs more resources than its predecessor! Oh. I forgot. It's 2008.
How much processor time do you think it uses? I find my idles (and it's more than Linux blah blah blah) at around 1 to 2% and it's got about the same battery life as when it runs under Hardy. (In my experience)
... what is this bloat? I've used Vista on my uni laptop since the beginning of the year and it runs fine. No BSODs, no software incompatibilities (well, there was this one indie java app through java web start) or anything of the sort.
I've been wondering, what promotional impact does it have? Compared to a newspaper ad, I don't see this having too much of an impacts except amongst people who already use it.
There's nothing really great about Ruby itself. It's the Ruby on Rails framework for Ruby that people generally love. Atleast, that's how I think it goes.
Well, with the Firefox betas I've tried to now, and continuing with the latest release candidate, Firefox 3/collapses/ on pages with lots of HTML (large lists and tag lists and so forth) where Firefox 2 did not.
"messing with you", dear god...
Again. You included/IE/. Regardless of my opinion of Vista, IE is a horrible stinking turd that pales in comparison to its many competitors.
Java *is* a beast. Every time I've had to use Java in a web browser, be it Safari (for Windows), Firefox1,2,3, IE6/7 (I've used it on OSX, Fedora, Ubuntu and Windows 2000->Vista). If Java has to be loaded in a browser, it locks up the browser, then after a minute it becomes responsive again. The java applet then becomes usable but it makes the browser itself unresponsive to anything but the mouse and the browser's performance becomes blocky.
On the application side Java apps always take up far too much ram and reduce the viability of multi-tasking with a java app running in the background.

No. Using Google is optional. Being beaten is not.

I genuinely hope your "rich" person making $25 an hour was just a arbitrary number. Because that's just a ridiculously low definition of rich.

Man the ruby exploits are fast.
Shush. Stop getting in the way of the MS bashing.

What's a non-HTML/CSS (since Netscape and every other browser "extended" them aswell) EEE example?
Ugh. EVERYONE BROKE HTML. Microsoft just became the scapegoat because they became dominant in the field. Our beloved ? Netscape. ? Netscape. IE did it, Netscape did it, a lot of people did it and continue to do so.
The EU went too far. I mean... a new version, that can't include Media Player, and can't even be labelled properly? Seriously?

Ummmm, wouldn't the fact the parents are choosing the university degree be a bigger problem?

XP is that similar to Vista? Have you actually used Vista? Ever?

Man. What are those computer things, that... don't open up so well. Hmm. They're flatish. I think they call them... laptops? Notebooks?

Great, don't try to put forward a good argument. Just equivocate IE6(maybe 7) with Windows Vista.

"OOXML claims to be an open ISO certified format. But as on date, there is no technological, compliant iomplementation..."
You do know there isn't a fully compliant ODF implementation either right?
