Comment Simple solution (Score 1) 187

Create a fork and cash in millions.

Seriously, Mozilla has something like 30% marketshare and IIRC Google gave them 300 Million. So they only manage to gain 3% (= 1/10 of Firefox users) with a conservative stable version, then that would be 30 million. Surely that would be worth the trouble.

Is nobody in the community smelling the money?

Comment The US is pretty much at war with Iran already (Score 1, Flamebait) 361

The utterly corrupt Obama administration is not satisfied with wars in Uganda, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and wherever I currently don't remember.

Obama has already made several steps towards war, and to say that the drone-campaign will continue is just the last step.

People were furious about Bush lies to start the wars. Obama has found the solution! Just don't talk about it, the people at home don't seem to care.

Microsoft

Submission + - Microsoft's IIS falls below 15% market share (in-other-news.com)

RStonR writes: Recent surveys from Netcraft and Security Space confirm that IIS is losing market share in all segments. The share in Japan, Germany, Russia and many other countries already lies below 4% for many years. But also traditionally Microsoft-friendly countries can turn away from IIS, for example in the last 10 years, the share in France fell from 35% to 5%, in Brazil and Taiwan from over 45% to 15% and in India even from 65% to 18%. In the long run, IIS might become legacy technology.

SOPA is just the latest "Change" that we got from Obama.

Doesn't anybody find it strange that There are no protests against Obama's wars?

Must not criticize this Nobel Peace Price winner, it would make quite a lot of people feel very stupid when they first treat him as the next messiah ("Jesus was also a community organizer", remember?) and then critizise him.

Comment Firefox needs a new management (Score 1, Offtopic) 151

Firefox is really in a crisis because the Mozilla foundation is still living in the 90s, when everybody and his dog bought a new computer every 2 years.

What we need is stability, we need less versions (preferrably one per year or even less than that).

Crime

Submission + - The Crime Problem of Occupy-Wall-Street (in-other-news.com)

RStonR writes: One underreported aspect of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement is the seemingly rampant crime problem which the movement itself seems to see as rather embarrassing. One branch even told rape victims not to go to the police and offered counseling — for the rapists.
