twitter points out coverage of a discussion between Steve Ballmer and two Gartner analysts in which the Microsoft CEO admits that Google Apps is enjoying an advantage over Office by users who want to share their document
That is exactly what I was refering to: Flash under nspluginwrapper always crashes especially when I am running a site that uses flash while trying to watch a Youtube video.
Gnash is OK but still has alot of work, especially when it comes to YouTube. The video on Youtube works but everything else is screwed up (flash based, i.e. controls). It definatally has alot of potential but its just not quite there yet and cant wait until it is:)
Currently the most reliable way to go is 32-bit firefox with a native flash plugin.
Yes you can, you need the compatibility libaries but you can run 32-bit firefox. There is nspluginwrapper to run 32-bit flash on 64-bit firefox but it's so unreliable its not funny
The Flash player on Linux sucks, its pretty dodgy, crashes alot and then when you move to 64-bit... whoa! So far Gnash doesn't handle flash video the best, especially YouTube. If Moonlight is able to make it into many distros as open source, this may be the way to do things.
Considering the US are paying with IOU's at the moment, I dont think China would mind collecting. If China and the EU both decided to cut off the US at the moment and collect on their debts, if they get their money back their economies may bounce back and the US would be screwed.
I think alot of people on here (I am assuming americans) overestimate how big of an exporter they really are in actual goods. You guys seem to forget the manufacturing parts of american business have been outsourced overseas for years now with Wall St being (quote Ralph Nayder) nothing more than a gambling casino.
Replace "christian" with "Iwata" and this pretty much nail my views on this region locking crap, comming from Australia where we always get ripped off on a platform independant level.
It can be argued that M$ did not survive the dot com crash
The fact that they still exist in some sort of capacitay at all says you are wrong there. Even Sun Microsystems who suffered greatly in the dot com crash survived it.
Their stock price has been flat over 10 years and they have blown through $60 billion in cash over the last three
The rate at which their profits are increasing is slowing but it is still churning mega profits.
All of their new products have been financial failures
You are about a year late, the Xbox 360 has actually broken that curse and now the Xbox platform is now profitable.
Essentially, they are worth less than half what they were worth ten years ago and are about to take on debt.
Look at their net worth and tell me that again with a straight face.
Google, on the other hand, has done great. They will survive on the kind of advertising that has kept newspapers publishing forever - small and large business benefit from it. This is a product that will always yield another crop.
You have some brown stuff on your nose, you may want to wipe that off;)
I am no fan of Microsoft but truth comes first. Twitter, you just got your ass handed to you... again!

In fact, they don't even list DRM as a con of Steam or Direct2Drive (or "no DRM" as a pro of Impulse).
There have been a few sites and a lot of magazines that will not dare attack DRM yet, worried about others (publishers) seeing them as encouraging piracy and pull sponsership.
Every pirate hates DRM but not everyone that hates DRM is a pirate.

Ouch! Freddy got fingered
This sort of knee jerk reaction solves nothing and generally creates more trouble than anything.
This is a post 1991 Australian Govt, they are a little higher with their jerks.
Revenge of the Sith was the best in the prequal trilogy... that is not saying much
Bah! you damn moderators can't accept the truth!
There is no spoon?
I hear the project has got a new lead developer.. Professor Chaos.

The first word should alarm you to that

not even x86-64
Something tells me it's still going to crash all the time on 64-bit machines, like mine :(
And Joseph said unto Mary "Now that I think about it, you have been hanging around the Nazarath Football Club alot latley."

Warning: Do not feed the Twitter!
It includes a kernel that hasn't been released yet?
Actually it got released today

Apparently the fate of our species now depends upon older guys hooking up with younger woman. I, for one, welcome this development
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't there laws against that?

Anyone that has seen the Terminator movies knows this
Oh Cyber COMMAND... oh nevermind.
...your not even trying anymore are you?
Great one mcgrew! Now the entire internet's going to collapse!
I have a "half the swap" setup and yes it does get used but barley half full. Here is what I run on my 4Gb RAM/2Gb swap Ubuntu box:
Vmware Server 2 w:/ Opensolaris, WinXP, CentOS 5.2, Server 2k3, gOS
Usually at any given time I will have at least 3 or 4 of the follwing running ontop of that plus hosting a samba file server
Firefox
Banshee
VLC or Totem
OpenOffice
F-Spot
Pidgin
So all in all I would say a half the RAM setup is more than enough though I cant speak for game setups (Cedgea etc)
