even though they are called *MS*NBC, they haven't been that bad with journalism
Considering they fired at least two journalists before they found one who wrote articles about the MS trial they could approve, I don't think I'd consider them 100% neutral.
Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, someone already tried to patent a Donald Duck idea (story by Barks, I think). The plan was to fill a sunken ship with ping pong balls, and I think it worked, both in the story, and in the real world. Luckily, they didn't get a patent, because it wasn't their idea.
If I type linux in Navigator or IE, I will be sent to www.linux.com, which, in addition to the fact that Internet companies are called.com companies, makes it very easy for most people to find a site if it is registred as.com. I've always considered that the main advantage. Personally I'm using Opera, though, where I can make it also check.no,.net and.org.
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you mean by having the common curtesy to know down strawmen, English is only my second language, and I have never heard that expression before.
However, I actually find it quite provocative that you don't think people should have the rights to their own work, and calling it abuse if they won't give away what they won't sell. To me, the situation is just the opposite. If I take something without permission, I am stealing. I must admit, though, I have been downloading several games from Abandonware sites myself. There are a lot of great old games, and because I play them instead of buying new games, the games manufacturers loose money.
How can this be called insightful? At least in Norway, almost all cell phones being sold are Nokia, Ericson and (recently) Siemens. Motorola has tried to enter the market, but they seem to have given up.
I agree. If there are only two marketing people who are actually employed by Nvidia, and thus by his definition responsible for the official policy, how hard could it be for them to talk to each other, and find out if this was something Nvidia condoned?
I think the 3d cards are kind of in a void, and will be for several years. They are too fast to make any big difference in the picture quality in todays games, but way to slow to make it look like a real picture.
I think one of the problems with such polls is that NT users will compare to Windows 9x, while UNIX users will compare to other UNIXes. What they should be asking is number/length of downtime the last year etc.
This would be true, if there were no menus, no chapters, no extras and static encryption rate. Unfortunately, mastering a DVD is very expensive. The costs can reach >$100k before a single disc is produced.
I use Opera mainly because of all the time saving features:
Alias for bookmarks I only have to type "a", and it goes to Altavista.
Name completion In addition to www.*.com, it searches www.*.net, www.*.org, or whatever you want it to, in your prefered order.
Customizable displaying of pictures I can select if it should load and display pictures, only display already loaded pictures, or not display them at all. Very nice when I'm using a modem.
Save address info I often order stuff online, and when filling out address info, all I have to do is select the right fields, and paste in the info
Also, I can turn off animated gifs, all colour/layout info (nice for clueless designed pages), and rescale complete pages, including the pictures, not just the text. For the record, I am not associated with Opera Software in any other way than being Norwegian.

Man is often used synonymous with humanity, depending on the context, although in these politically correct times, it will probably get suppressed.

It advances our society as a whole by answering an incredibly deep question about our universe: are we alone?
Obviously, unless we actually find someone, or check every planet in detail, we won't get a final answer to that.

So if I have a car I no longer use, and probably never will, you feel you should be allowed to take it without my permission?

I agree with lots of it, but this guy argues for free trade of *everything*, which for instance would include selling nuclear weapons to Iraq.
