Trade in your video card for a second-hand AGP Radeon 9x00. You get fast mostly working 3D, open source drivers, and the binary lock-in nazis don't get a single penny of your money.
Great idea. We could all drag around USB cables with our portable media players that don't even transfer useful data, just trickle charge the battery....do you work for Sony by any chance?
Apple's cross-platform thing is quite good business sense, you see:
Each of those 30 will spend approximately 15000 times as much money on iTunes as an average Windows user, because as we all know all Windows users are too greedy^Wfar below the poverty line to pay for _anything_ on their hard drive.
Things that start going into swap over such a trivial task should get killed by an out of memory exception, not be allowed to hard lock the machine for hours. Especially not non-root userspace apps.
1. Catch up to KHTML, which is years ahead of you (and increasing) in both speed and standards compliance. 2. Put MNG/JNG back in. Your reasons for not doing so sound increasingly stupid over time, and also they better describe MathML which didn't get removed. Also see #1.
That's odd if Athlons are better, since I seem to remember something on the F@H site itself saying they won't be as fast due to the code using Intel compilers... Maybe they use GCC now?
I tried to read one of the articles on censorship in college today, and got blocked. Not sure what sets off that filter crap, but it stops a lot of people getting any real work done here.
Why do they need huge servers? It's not like they're bloated down with windows here. A micro-atx PC with a big hard disk, wireless and a modem would get the job done. That could easily run off a solar panel.

Do a fair comparison - run IE in Wine.
Sorry, but 25GB should be able to hold more than 2 cars and 30 tracks.
I have the perfect solution:

It's called VESA. There's a driver for that in X.Org already.

I'd want him locked away, just out of pity for the people who have to put up with him directly.
That's funny... exactly the same reasons I dumped Windows.
Yes, in fact someone made a command to do just that: `cp`

KDE sort of already has that using DCOP/DBus commands. You still need the GUI app running for them to work, but it's a start...
The one thing I like about K* stuff is that it's sort of like Perl, in that it doesn't force users to do things "This way, or else".

You can send voice, video and data with a single analogue signal though. In fact, that's how TV has worked in the UK for about 30 years.

Why use OpenGL when you have MMX, SSE, Altivec...
There's already vector coprocessors on-board. The only problem is that on x86 they're cripplingly small.

While we're on the subject of Mozilla developers being full of shit, have a look at bug 18574.
Mozilla reminds me of the XFree86 Project.
I think people have actually attempted to present scientific facts to Thompson.
That 14-year-old that got replied to from him with emails full of ad-hominem insults tried it, I think.
Do they have control of the access point's OS? With Linux you can rate limit layer 7 in the firewall (with the right tools), and there's always QoS.
If you really need the outputted HTML files inline on the page, you can just use a bit of regex to chop off the HTML header.

Gee, I dunno. Was Saddam Hussein a dictator? Because the only significant difference between him and your one is he lost the war.
No, just a plain ID3 tag editor: http://more-cowbell.org/
Why does FF have its own gigantic memory cache in the first place, instead of letting the OS's disk cache do its job properly?
