I guess it is quite fun to see some guys thinking KDE/one KDE app is actually a killer app. Being open source it would be impossible to prevent them to be ported to windows if they actually became very popular. I for one was happy to find firefox in ubuntu during my second Linux experience, these things do help migration.
Are you talking about Linux or Mac OS/X ? Cause, I thought OS/X was supposed to be the ultimate standard in desktop computing, ultra friendly to use and not requiring any technical knowledge from users to do stuff and to assume they need a test box before updating some part of the OS that itself recommends to update...
Aw fucking god, hell Microsoft, |@~@|#~@# really. Really! Yeah mod me down whatever I don't care this is utter ridiculous, seriously.
I guess this means IE 8 doesn't really pass the Acid2 test, it passes a modified version of the Acid2 page, but hell I guess any browser can do that if modifying the test is allowed...
Really? Just like people are being unable to find reasons to migrate their PCs to vista I can't think of a good reason to migrate my virtual box machine to vista, after all I use it for app and hardware compat and Vista doesn't sound too great at that, and XP uses less resources anyways.
I am not sure shareware is too profitable regardless of the license, something tells me good open source projects that live on donations do much better than shareware, I actually thought/hoped shareware was dying...
So, if I googled for "died in a blogging accident" I would find a lot of blogs commenting this one comic that is related to "dying in a blogging accident", hey' the system works.
How did you imply I was complaining about they using those technologies? I was complaining about the names... Java and.net are very silly names, then we got to talk about firefox, silverlight , tomcat, really, names in the technology world are always very lame, and you got to accept suffixing.net to application names is not much better than the K-obsession...
Thanks for demonstrating that the creationists' fight is to the least, lame. The whole theory of evolution does not disprove "creation" or that there's a God. So, the whole fight against evolution is... pointless.
I think your post is quite an overreaction, I don't think any serious person cares about the name of a program, and the deal is that the K itself is not a big deal. Enterprise has been using things names as retardedly as "Java" or ".net" I mean, seriously...
The difference between hand counted and machine counted precints' results does not mean a lot. I don't live there so I am lacking some information, are these counts supposed to represent the same population? For example, I could imagine the areas where hand counting was used to be more rural than the ones in which machines were used, etc, etc, etc.
This is worrying, I mean, how would users that use mcafee anti virus software feel about this? A company unable to understand a license is probably not good enough to protect your computer...
WMA! Lamest lawsuit ever. When I read the story title I did not imagine that I was going to support apple on this one, but this is just a retarded lawsuit, really. The only way to explain it would be that the lawsuit comes from an MS proxy but I don't really think MS is that lame...
The KB article plainly states that Word and Excel 2003 can still open the documents, but they are blocked by default. And if you want to open them, you'll need a registry change to do so
That's fun, considering that's exactly what the summary says.
Most windows users can't dream of doing registry editing. Thus MS is practically removing those formats.
If you have some record in which you saved word documents back in 1994, congratulations! you have just learned why we need open formats...
The submitted article is literally a shameless journal plug, but my whining gets modded off topic, I think flamebait or overrated would do better, please learn to mod down posts correctly.
There's some anti standards FUD, they are mostly saying this are doing this mostly as a favor to all those crazy people that want standards cause "making it compatible with standards makes pages that are made compatible with IE6 break" And the whole backwards compatibility thing means they will continue to promote that garbage over standards, so they will keep the bad way only that they will have passing acid2 as a way for marketing.
While we're on the subject of Firefox, whose bright idea was it to solve the memory leaks in 2.0.0.8 or so by making 2.0.0.11 use more and more processor time instead of more memory
I'll be more interested in seeing people stop spreading these tales, my firefox spends 35 MB of memory during its worse day.
I dislike Microsoft's monopolystic practices as much as anyone else, I think though that IE is far from being a front regarding antitrust now, a lot of battles were already done, and windows can now let you pick any browser. Regarding standards, IE7 is showing a lot of progress there. So, I am afraid opera has no case here.

Heck, at least now I am free to use semi transparent PNGs , although I will be happier once they wipe any IE in general of the planet.
Robots may not beat the Turin test yet but they may already be able to win elections!

And I always thought apples were a myth based bible tales.

Does this mean yahoo will now sort stuff myspace way (whatever that is) instead of "the way it works"?
I guess the real word is "lame". Not as much as the guy submitting his own blog but it goes for the firehose "hosers" ...

Once you need a benchmark to prove something is faster than something else, then it doesn't really matter which one you uses.
I now feel even more repulsion towards it, congratulations MS!
Dell does ship firefox - with ubuntu - :)
