It's not an odd choice at all. It gets them extra page clicks (read: ad $), as more people will click the entire series of images to try and find a working link.
Or are you really stupid enough to open notepad and using the menu to open a text file instead of just double-clicking the file directly?
Are you really stupid enough to open executable files just because they have a text file icon and display "readme.txt" as the name? I'm not, but then again I don't use an OS where such brain-damaged behaviour is the default setting.
Wine's good enough for things like flash9. Oh wait, did you mean commercial off-the-shelf software? Yeah, all of those I bought run fine on my non-windows OS. Took a while to get working though; I had to spend a full 5 seconds looking at the box to see if it supported my OS!

Why search 100000 blogs for that sort of thing when they can just wait on this site and let the attention-seekers turn themselves in?
...despite several promises throughout the whole of last year that we'd at least get to use Firefox.
You don't realise how painful MS software is until you're forced to actually use it. For an entire year. MSVC 6 doesn't even have line numbers.
Considering there's other sites that cover the same topic, and do it a million times better... no, I didn't.

Which is why these little things called "fuses" were invented.
Anyone else noticed the linked-to "blog" has no other content besides this and is one day old?
Wow, I used to have a PC like that. It had a 7" screen, an 8088 and 384K RAM, and some masochist designer put a carry handle on the back.
With the quality of music the current regime shits out, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.
Nobody uses XUL on the web for the same reasons nobody uses MS "HTML Applications". That's a good thing.
I agree, there should be a "-1, Head too far up ass" mod for that very post.
storing this amount of personal information for a fucking _shopping site_ is illegal in my country.
Here you go.
Which is why malware's going to do this on Windows XP, then lie dormant until it detects Vista installed.

Or maybe, having been involved in open source for the past 15 years, he knows what he's talking about a _little bit_ more than you.
That link reminded me of just how much I hate anything to do with printers.
Option 3: Buy commodity hardware from AMD and resell it at a profit.
The only time I read any of my e-mail is when I use registration forms on websites and it requires it. IM works fine for every other use.

What's this?
A 1K kernel means you have 1024KB L2 cache + 15KB of L1 cache left over at about 20GB/s each, instead of 0.
Does that mean you could get a stack-based coprocessor card and make their code run faster?
You know what? You're right. Thurrott sounds like a whiny little brat in this article.
Scared of what, exactly? Oh, wait, are you a Matrox fanboy by any chance? rofl :)
