   People don't want to move to mass transit because it sucks. During rush hour it only takes me 25 minutes to drive to work. If I took the bus it takes 2 hours. You will never get me to give up my car with times like that.

   It is not a stretch. These programs slow down the users browser experience. Though they may not be actively in collusion, more and more of these tool bars are installed and the browser almost grinds to a halt. I have opened the browser on m

   This is such bullshit. People have been buying and selling used games for the last thirty years. If it is such a detriment to the game industry how come the combined annual gross sales have exceeded Hollywood movies over the last few years?

    Are you going to pay for the developer to do that? It's just lucky that Steam is supporting Linux at all nowadays.

    Everyone is missing the point. They develop for Windows because they will have the most chance of getting someone to play their game. (95% of installed O/S in PCs).

    Java never took off on the desktop because people had to download a large VM to run it. Now it doesn't matter but in the beginning it was a huge deal. Secondly most Java developers concentrated on Enterprise Java and could not write nice GU

    So when the next new web tech comes out you just obsoleted the chip and have to throw them all out. When a new image format arrives or video codec or version of HTML all those chips are trash. Yeah that's green.

    Since he doesn't allow comments, I will comment here. While I agree with the author's comment that the switch is ambiguous, I disagree with his perception of the current state. To my mind the switch shown is a rocker switch that has the off

    The current laws already can be used for covering software. That is why you see EULAs everywhere that begin with WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS SOFTWARE MAY CAUSE.
