That would be a GREAT idea, if only you showed us your secret way of resuming from cold boot within 0.5 seconds when the machine recieves a tcp syn packet on port 80.
Only the FAT one was kicked out. The JPEG patents are the only ones sat on so far. The GIF patents *were* used against people, which is why we have PNG today and why Unisys has faded out of existence... just like these assholes inevitably will.
Traffic lights waste our time, and thus should be removed. And they do get removed. They get replaced with sensor-based ones that respond to queues better than fixed-timeslice ones. Not that it's relevant to this thread anyways.
A thing that annoys the hell out of me are games where you can only see the full story + cutscenes again if you delete the single save file that also contains all the high scores.
Why is gzip the only content encoding option browsers support? It seems to me they'd be better off supporting something like bzip2 since it works far better on plain text.
As others have already pointed out, the regurgitated "opera invented tabs" line is pure FUD. Not saying Opera isn't a good browser, but if that's the best defence it can muster...
Most of the programs I've used in Linux have their own independent volume settings. Flash is one of the annoying exceptions (as usual), but worse are the ones that can control either their own volume or the system volume with one slider depending on how it's configured. I've deafened myself a few times from that...
My high school did that. The computers were loaded up with so much "security" software it took 30 minutes from boot to being ready to do anything. That left about 10-20 minutes of usable time in class.
It's worth noting that their idea of security was force-closing windows based on string-matching in the title, and disabling right-click globally. We had two weeks wasted while they cleaned up Sasser several times.
I don't want to hear about what I should have bought... I can go to any damn computer store and buy a Linksys, it is a market leader. Those are the cards that should 'just work' when you install them... the market leaders Right... and why are you complaining to _us_ about it?
I am interest in things like what Linus is currently working on, the direction that Jobs is taking his business, whether Steve Ballmer will be finally taken to an asylum to get the anger management that he needs. Those are different. They do important stuff. That's a good enough reason to follow what they're doing.

That's because this isn't aimed at gamers. It's aimed at rich idiots, who will pay to beta test new hardware.
I wouldn't call that a "mini-OS" - they've got a full install of Firefox on there.
And this is _exactly_ the reason "*nix" was coined.

Look at it this way - the clever programmers at Epic managed to do for saturation what Doom 3 did for brightness.
Yep, pretty much the same reason I didn't buy UT2k4 until about a year ago. Plus by that time it'd dropped to 1/5th of its original price.
This would probably be a lot easier to deal with if Unicode assigned homographs a single codepoint. Maybe they should add symlinks to the standard.
You should be grateful you only have to choose one or the other. I live in Europe.

Dominating in the windows server space counts for about as much as dominating in the Mac desktop space.
Before you reply, bear in mind Compiz was around months before Vista.

T1 for a residential line sounds like a weird setup... wouldn't it be cheaper to just give them a fibre line and speed-limit it at the server end?

And if MS won't comply with an audit, why should anyone comply with theirs?
You could say that Cisco... patented themselves into a corner this time.
Imagine what Slashdot would be like if people could post images.
Now imagine if that was real.
Still want it here?
Nah... nobody will ever need more than 65535 asteroid names.
No idea, I've never used it.
