I've seen some people (foaming-at-the-mouth microsoft nutcases) claiming that nothing needs to be done right in the browser *until* the W3C finalises it. Watch MS try to spin this as a publicity stunt, despite their working group plants usually being the ones holding the process up.
You are not the "entire web community". You seem to have not realised this last time, when everyone implemented the WHATWG's HTML standard instead of your XHTML 2.0 pet project. Please get relevant or get bent.
In the 1990s dpi was going up, refresh rates were going up, there was actually a reason to upgrade. Now we're all stuck with the "HD" fad, probably forever. If you want a bright, high dpi screen it's limited to 5 inches or smaller. TVs get advertised as "120Hz" or "600Hz" or some marketing bullshit where the input is only capable of 60 and they just strobe the pixels 10 times per frame. Desktop screens are being sold, in the 21st century, incapable of actually displaying 24-bit colour. Dithering on a TN panel is very visible and it looks like shit.
People are going to keep submitting blogspam until it starts hurting them in the wallet, so I just added *.icrontic.com to my DNS blacklist. No ad revenue or eyeballs for them from my network now and never.
Router makers are just as at fault. Our ISP gave everyone a "mandatory" free upgrade to 16mbps last year with ADSL2+ routers (even though the one I already had can do 2+, it wouldn't get above 8mbps). They barely support IPv4 without crashing, forget v6.
2**128 addresses is more than can theoretically be allocated using the resources we have left on this planet. Since we used up all the fuel murdering each other instead of finding a way off this rock, it really is enough for anybody now.
I am licencing the above software for the low, low price of 50 euros, plus a subscription of only 15 cents for every 10 lines of truth printed to standard output
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11-devel (git-6807438) OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
Looks like it. GLSL 1.2 isn't exactly new, but I'd take old standards with a real, safe memory manager over the likes of nvidia with their history of root exploits.
I'm pretty sure I've figured out why they do that. Every Intel CPU I've owned in the last 10 years has been crippled and locked down in the BIOS, while the AMD boards enable more or less everything the hardware supports. They don't want you supporting their hardware because it's harder to nickel-and-dime paying customers for basic features that way.
Maybe they personally know a few friends from Acorn that can get the parts done at a discount, one of the pictures shows it next to a UK 20p piece after all.
You'll still have to cough up an extra $200 for the privilege of using all the transistors in your Intel hardware though. Or maybe this will bring an end to them segregating things like HW virtualisation based on how deep the users' pockets are.
In IE9 beta adding a single useless variable assignment to some modern benchmarks made them take several orders of magnitude longer. An unused variable sounds like the sort of thing that should be optimised out by DCE, but here it's obviously enough to trip up the thing they use to detect common benchmarks and cheat using built-in precompiled code.
Screen resolutions don't grow. They haven't grown since a bunch of scammers started marketing 1366x768 screens with 1mm-wide pixels with labels like "HD Ready".

They've got a monopoly in attention-whoring if the volume of Apple-related stories on /. are anything to go by
Wake up, world! Hello.... can anyone hear me?!
Probably not if you're using AT&T.

That they can reliably measure cats.
I'm running Firefox 4 on a 12-year-old Celeron at work, for that matter.

No, Friday.
with LILO you had a conf file and a command you had to run
One "make install" in the kernel source directory which automatically runs the LILO install script in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/.
With GRUB you have a conf file
You forgot the part where you create the initrd to include your filesystem drivers.

Try the UltraSPARC II instead, which is released under GPL, not some licence-proliferating legalese that's not actually open at all.

Thanks to them, we now have all sorts of thriving and improving forks. Drizzle, MariaDB, Nexenta, LibreOffice...

What makes you think america gets to be imperialists? You are just another land the corporations own.

If they've managed to break the <audio> tag then it already does lack support for HTML.
