  1. Car analogy? on Who Owns Application Delivery Meta-Data In the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    Say I have a 'cloud computing' app that is uhh.. a bouncing ball. Yes, it shows on the screen of the app user a bouncing ball. That'll do.

    I would prefer racing cars over bouncing ball.

    Stallman's goal is to get the software industry to the point where the automobile industry is today.

    I knew a car analogy was subtly hiding somewhere here.

    Of the European nations involved in WW2 only three managed to survive the war without having their capital occupied by the enemy: the UK, the Soviet Union and Finland.

    It just can't be. It not possible to fix Vista defects in this short time. Writing a new OS would take lesser time and that's what they have done. Seriously.

  10. Re:Of course this calls for on 45% of Dutch Media-Buying Population Are "Pirates" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually Moser Baer has done something similar in India. They crashed the CD/DVD prices from ~Rs.1000 to ~Rs.100 (USD 20 to USD 2)
    People now obviously prefer DVD prints over the pirated cam print. This should be and is THE only way to kill piracy.

  14. Re:What the difference? on Google Tells Users To Drop IE6 · · Score: 1

    Theoretically, Yes. But that's not how things "really" happen. And by the time, OGG even catches up, the way we store and organize music...whole paradigm will change. Same going to happen with Browsers. In couple of years, we will be surfing in an entirely new way. As bandwidth get cheaper, content producers will look for new means of delivering content to the user. And user will definitely opt for it for richer experience. Did we switched from IE to FF for standards? No one does. We switch for richer (better) experience. I would count even being stable as richer experience. You sure get the point. Right? That's why I say...Chrome is fighting a lost war. Or its already an intermediate solution only from Google while they "Gear" up for paradigm shift. What say?

  15. Re:What the difference? on Google Tells Users To Drop IE6 · · Score: 1

    Again. How non-standard open-source different from non-standard closed-source? The problem poised to content developers is not how to code but to manage and maintain code for one more platform. And not to forget...test it also. These costs are way higher than cost of non-compliance with standards for a most user browser aka IE.

  16. Re:What the difference? on Google Tells Users To Drop IE6 · · Score: 1

    Yes. But the consequences still remain the same. And if we get equivocal, this isn't a bad thing. It's a trade off between performance and standard compliance. The real world is that more people use IE6/7 than FF + others. So as a content developer, I would care more for performance and user acceptability. Chrome would give me better performance (if I tie up my content to their specs) but I will loose out on major user base who are knowingly/unknowingly sticking with IE6/7. Chrome is fighting a lost war. Browsers won't be 2010 way of Interning anyway.

  17. What the difference? on Google Tells Users To Drop IE6 · · Score: 1

    Chrome is Google's answer to IE6. Google's effort to tie down the content in their non-standard format. How does it makes them any different from Microsoft?

  25. Re:It's about control not terrorism on UK Government Says More Spying Needed · · Score: 1

    its just 52 because UK government is spending so much on homeland security. Look at the third world nations like India and Sri Lanka. Terror related deaths are in hundreds already. You sure won't want it to happen to you. I wanted to pull some ballpark numbers if not exact. But was little skeptical about goggling those "keywords". But trust me several hundreds is not an over statement.
