FWIW I work on a netbook (Eee 1000 with eeebuntu) which is small, cheap, robust, and runs for 12 hours on an extended battery.

But Firefox is painfully slow. Chromium warns "This browser is not ready!" but is actually really great.

Apart from that cut and paste bug and a few more.

It's fast, fast, fast, and I don't mind if it crashes. I just restart it, remember to not press Ctrl-V, and let other people post my URLs for me.

I enjoyed Firefox a lot but the speed Chromium runs at makes it a compelling switch, even unfinished. Amazing, no?

I suspect that in elections from 2000 to 2006, the standards of democracy in the US fell to below what we would consider acceptable in emerging democracies. Where there would be monitoring from outside observers.

Not to make this more political than it will be, but do we know what direction those stolen votes went? Do we know how much this influenced the national vote?

Another thing I did not find in TFA: how was this uncovered?

No, I'm using Chromium on Linux and though it's fast it crashes whenever I try to paste text. So thanks for posting the link.

Check the Firehose for another patent story (some fools tried to claim a patent on SOAP!)

That happened to my account once when I bitched about an editor too, almost ten years ago now. (Within a week of pretty simple, thought-free karma-whoring comments, I was back posting at +2.)

You seriously have the stupidest .sig I've ever seen on slashdot.

The number one reason why white people like not having a TV is so that they can tell you that they donâ(TM)t have a TV.

Not for nothing, but this cutover has been in the works for ten fuckin' years. I first read about it when I was in college. People who are scrambling now kind of deserve what they get. Go read a book or something if you can't watch Idol.

no, his statements are a weasley technciality. people who keep pointing this "clinton lied! perjury!!!!" bullshit out should have their nuts cut off.

which one of the things he said was false, dickhead?

uh, actually, he'd probably just dual boot. why make it even more complicated?

maybe you should update your XP install. that kind of shit stopped happening when i installed SP2. there's a lot of problems with wifi in older versions of XP.
