Oh sure it takes time to load and initialize, about 0.6 seconds? I gave you this question cause it is true it used to take 30 seconds about five years ago but things are different now. Of course, flash seems to take just the half of it, never tried silverlight...
Hmnn maybe those couple of seconds would be vital if you were on your web-powered firetruck trying to catch a fire or something.
Yeah, they aren't basic rights anymore just because your companies have managed to make a right of theirs to screw consumers, now you have turned respecting the users into a generous act, good. And a moron gave you insightful, grats.
Actually [Zune 1.0/Silverlight 1.0/Vista] is crap, [Zune 2.0/Silverlight 2.0/Vista service pack 1] is the real deal, MS will now get the marketshare it deserves.
If that was the point with moonlight, they would do it, but the objective for moonlight is to extend silverlight's market share by making a second-class alternative that will not be able to work at 100%, so that they can advertise silverlight as being Linux compatible when it isn't. That's the point of moonlight, it is not to have an OSS alternative of silverlight.
They are not fucking being nice, for god's sake... They want to make the web 100% MS dependent, and then they will OBVIOUSLY pull the plug out of moonlight, not to say that you need to use SLED if you want moonlight legally (And this comes from MS and Novell reps' mouths).
Hello chrish, I got a question for you? How did you come to 2008? Was it by cryogenic tech or did you actually use a time machine? As of now, all the time JWS apps take to load is due to downloading the code, the two java applets I use don't really take time to load either...
Apple has also not used its dominant position in the audio player market to kill off competition like MS did with Windows/IE and Netscape.
If you own an iPod you are free to purchase music from the iTunes store, from a retail via CDs, or from another (DRM-free) online retailer (Amazon, Magnatune). The iTMS also allows for DRM-free files where the copyright holder has allowed Apple to do so (sadly currently only EMI).
Basically, you are not, oh sure, it is possible, just as it was 'possible' to install netscape in windows.
Regardless of stores, there's basically no way a music player can compete with itunes, since you need to reverse engineer and break hashes just to do that. Just in another slashdot thread we had rants about songbird not being able to manage your iphone... These sort of devices to prevent itunes competition have a name, is it antit... something like that?
Why hasn't the EU screwed apple already? The itunes-ipod abuse is like 10 times worse than IE-windows, yet nobody seems to be doing anything to stop this abusive non-sense.
Let's say... SDL gets a flash port, then you basically can turn your simple C++ game into a game that people can run in flash computers without downloading... At least it sounds interesting.
Folks were shocked to see Microsoft getting so serious around HPC; I think we are only beginning to see a glimpse of Microsoft in the HPC field."
Yeah right...
And a year ago, it had no less than seven machines in the top 500: in other words the situation has worsened recently. For comparison, in the last five months GNU/Linux managed an increase of 2.4% in absolute terms. Now, what was that about it not scaling...?
And that's right, that was the whole point of mod points... So people could just take a look at the useful comments, but when worthless spam like dedazo's gets +5 informative it is just wasting our time...
Let me say this again: Who the fuck cares? Yes, really. You keep spamming and spamming about this huge twitter conspiracy... And well all you spammers worry and agree so much on this that you are probably the same guy or something... The guy already has -1 karma, so where's the need to harass him over and over and over and over again? I guess you guys are just karma whores that want to get easy informative mods or MS fan boys that love the stupid chance for an ad hominem, but really, it is boring the hell out of people to see such obvious posts with points so freaking modded up.
That guy up there deserves an off-topic or redundant or something like that so it doesn't waste our time. Instead he gets +5 interesting, that's the problem with slashdot it randomly gives mod points to utter morons.
I mean my god!? This really makes you lose faith in slashdot's system, apparently enough morons got mod points today to give this conspiracy theorist spammer a +5 informative... Fuck! Yes that's right and all he did was freaking off-topic spam and a personal attack...
OH no! Accounts agree on slashdot!
Could you please stop with your twitter conspiracy theories? It is certainly a shame a moron with mod points was dumb enough to mod you up. But that still makes your posts are way too annoying, we are getting fed up of your annoying twitter obsession, your spam is much worse than twitter's, thanks.
I RTFA! The whole conclusion comes from saying that it will work in Safari and Firefox... News flash! Even since this thing was announced, we knew MS will use silverlight for this... So, yes, it will run in Safari and Firefox, just through using a plugin, but you'll need.net for this moronity... In other words, that it works in Firefox means nothing, ah and we get to see silverlight in work as a replacement for what IE was meant for initially, to make windows a requirement to browse the web.
Moonlight? yeah right... Assuming MS doesn't add Silverlight-only stuff as a requirement for their online office stuff, they will eventually do once it is famous enough. Thanks Miguel...
Google apps run in anything that can run javascript, does not require you to install.net or violate MS' patents and I am quite sure it will be more feature-complete and better implemented, this web stuff is definitely not MS' strength, they are still on that ridiculous windows-only obsession...

All the four web pages that use silverlight? Just because you are naive doesn't mean I am wrong.
Actually [Zune 1.0/Silverlight 1.0/Vista] is crap, [Zune 2.0/Silverlight 2.0/Vista service pack 1] is the real deal, MS will now get the marketshare it deserves.
Actually, they are four now...

Yeah, imagine what if companies did the right thing right away so costumers wouldn't have to be so annoying when they cry for their basic rights...

It may not be stuff that matters, but it does sound like news for nerds.
Dear slashdot mod: How the heck could the first post be redundant?
