Who do you think runs ICANN? Hint: it starts with "US" and ends with "Government"

1. Spun off from US Government
2. Located in US territory
3. Answers to...

How do you plan on setting up a DNS server if the roots go down? And how do you plan on figuring out the IPs for random servers without the roots?

Maybe new hardware, but there are millions upon millions of existing systems that are not 64 bit and no distribution is going to drop x86 and alienate those users.

Every performance gain has a cost. The cost in this case is maintaining a whole third set of libraries on a system. That takes space, development hours, qa hours, and the performance gains have not...

I have 8 gigs of ram in my machine. At any given time I have at least 6.5 gigs free. If Chrome wants to use a gig of memory by launching each tab as its own process and increase my productivity...

Disagreed. Every Open Source project contributes in some manner, even if it simply serves notice to other people about the pitfalls of undertaking such project while isolating themselves from the...

Sorry, you're drawing lines in the sand which don't exist. Android uses the Linux Kernel. The fact they have their own patches which are not upstream doesn't change this.

Plenty of embedded...

Uh, what kernel does Android use then? And what is the "commonly accepted userland"?

I'm all for browsers doing their own pdf decoding, but the memory usage is pretty awful. It's a 10 page document with relatively simple graphics (a couple of small embedded images and otherwise just...

Yeah, I tried to find a blank one provided by the vendor my employer uses but couldn't. It's (the wonderful) Paychex Systems.

No, I actually won't share the link to my W-2. It's a rather personal financial document. It is not a "form" in that it has data input, however.

Here's a sample of a different doc, it doesn't...

First PDF I loaded was a fairly simply W2 (US tax document). 1 Page, standard text inside of boxes, and Firefox pegged a core the entire time it was open. Yet another point in Chrome's favor, which...

I found Firefox better than the built in Browser on both my Phone (Dual Core 1.5 GHz, Android 4.0.4) and Tablet (Tegra2, Android 4.0.3), but Chrome mobile by far faster than Firefox.

There's never been an IE for Linux. There was, however, IE for Unix.

The original blanket statement I replied to, not made by you, was:



My point is that the ability to brick a system through software doesn't make it faulty. Anyone can take flashrom code and...

Flashrom can brick just about any board. So most systems fall into your wide-casting net.

Perhaps a more appropriate word is "Consumer." Clearly the Fedora team has consumers, otherwise, why would they produce anything?

Unless said improvements exceed the capabilities of the hardware, which is very much a possibility with a true 386.

Right, that's what I was saying. You wouldn't have a package manager on the machine itself, you'd have a central build server that spat out tarballs. Fixed hardware and fixed software means they...
