free/cheap bandwidth for africa, fairplay to google! wonder what evil master plan is behind this idea?
So Google is demanding that Microsoft remove Vista's desktop search feature, a feature that other OSes already ship? If other OSes can ship it then so can Microsoft. Hell, if I'd been in charge of Microsoft, I would've been bundling Windows Desktop Search with XP for years now.
Or worse yet, Google is demanding that Microsoft bundle Google's crapware?
To hell with Google. This is the same company that made a deal with Apple to have Safari's web search box locked into Google so you can't change the default or even add secondary search providers (as if that doesn't harm competing search engines on the Mac platform), and has made deals with numerous software companies to install Google toolbar and/or desktop when installing a software package, with the option to install Google's wares pre-checked (my mom has asked me multiple times why Google toolbar keeps reappearing on her computer) and they have the nerve to complain about an OS desktop search feature? (Not to mention that Google's desktop search sucks anyway.)
Oh, and those fools cited in the article are comparing this with the Netscape case? Well, last time I checked, Microsoft is still bundling IE and not Netscape, and is being allowed to do so. So if they want to make that comparison, go right ahead. OEM's can still bundle Google Desktop if they want, just as they can Netscape (Dell is already forcing Google Desktop down its users' throats).
Google has no real case here; maybe Microsoft will be forced to add Google's Desktop Search to the Set Program Access and Defaults control panel (that's what it's called on XP, I don't know what it's called in Vista); in other words, be forced to add bloat for the sake of the invincible Google (so invincible that they need to go whining to government every chance they get), but that's about it.
interesting but for it to be popular on window IT HAS TO HAVE a user friendly interface not just a command line tool (btw look into new powershell for windows;) )
yea do you HONESTLY think that you average Joe user would uninstall a program with such a scary name? thats if they even understand 1 of the 4 words in that name!
im sure google would love to get their hands on this data, they are like one of them energy alien beings from star trek that feed and grow, except google grows on data
now now no need to get nasty about IIS6 just beacause its a microsoft product!
IIS6 is very good and new IIS7 is even better, also to note on all the 11 Suse dedicated servers i run i switched from Apache 2 to a lighter, less resource hoging alternative
thank god! remember enterpise got canceled in 4th season and that was its best season yet
galactica is an order magnitude better with so many loose ends to tie that itll take them years to wrap it ll up
also remeber that unlike star trek they managed to have 3 seasons so far without any timetravelling episodes:)
im not being paranoid but now if lets say your site doesnt conform to "google" standards they can just label you site as spyware?!
i can see it now, goes and types http://live.com/
google tollbar pops up "this site is marked as malware, blah blah"
great way to take out your competition and extend own monopoly!
ah i know well how to start a new process from command line (and do so in a php based sockets server)
but if you ever did Comp Architecture 101 you would realise that there a difference between a process and a thread, threads are lightweight processes with less switching overhead and smaller footprint, im talking about a Java / C# style threading model
and an example were this would be usefull beside the sockets server i mentined would be an efficient proxy script, current php proxy scripts are over bloated pieces of spaghety code written by script kiddies (which is generaly true of many php apps)
and yes i know of mbstring extension, but once again thats all it is and extension
php6 wont be out for years yet
firstly i wish to say "thank you" to the mono team! yee are doing a great job!
secondly what the f*** is wrong with you./'s ?! get a grip!
while yee are arguing which distro has the longest.... microsoft came a long and actually made a really usefull piece of technology that ties alot of features together in one package, not only that but some people are sickened that it comes under an open license and are afraid that linux will become that bit more irrelevant on the desktop side of things
keep reaching fot that rainbow! keep playing catchup to microsoft
Slashdot Mirror
Linux Apache/2.0.46 (Unix) PHP/4.3.3
lol
yea whats up with apache being such a ram memory hug? i recommend the author switches to lighttpd or nginx
ok make me please a universal SINGLE way of installing apps,
./configure && make && make install nonsense or a miriad of package managers (yast, smart, yum etc etc)
i want to be able to install programs easily across ALL distros EASILY (like people do on windows now)
none of that
you see on windows ur guaranteed your app will work across all versions on linux forget about it

i already run osx and suse on windows big deal
believe it or not all bank of ireland atms use Windows, plenty of times u see the bootup screen or and odd blue screen of death
time to go up the attic and find my trusted tinfoil hat
I dont know whats worse:
one one hand Microsofts monopoly on THEIR operating system!
on the other hand Google's attempts to have their spyware installed on every computer so they can collect even more data!
kinda ironic that microsofts monopoly is making SPYWARE run slow, lol

Dump Apache! its the slowest link!

Btw IIS6 has less unpatched vulnerabilities than apache
so there
