What's with all the negative comments ?
My initial impression seems to be, this is very fast as compared to 7.0.1. Good work Firefox team, some of us still appreciate your hard work.

Now only if my company would switch from the horrible HP Quality Center to Jira, I would be set.

Comment Pascal v/s C (Score 2) 487

When I first started learning Pascal, I had a real hard time wrapping my head around the concept of a Pointer, and struggled with pointers and related concepts like linked-lists etc. throught out the time I had to use Pascal. I was using the Schaum's book on Pascal.

But under 'C' it felt somehow very natural and easy to understand, never had a problem with 'C' pointers, and data structures. R.I.P. DMR, your book really opened my eyes to the wonderful world of computing.

Who modded this insightful ?
As if every single person in the world has a unique name, that they can trademark and sue everyone else for using it without their consent...(unless you're named parah salin of course), Secondly are you supposed to monitor all social networking websites to check if some one else is using the same name as yours.

Comment Re:X through SSH... (Score 1) 359

A lot of commercial software installations on Unix require a X session. e.g. Oracle. Not that I am condoning using X on servers, but sometimes it's a necessary evil. Secondly if you have memory overhead issues due to a few X sessions, may be it's time you took a good look at your infrastructure and consider an upgrade of equipment.

Comment Re:I second this, OpenGL and QT are both great. (Score 2, Informative) 331

About the only downside is that there aren't current C# or Java bindings for it.

Umm... Qtjambi (QT's Java bindings) has been available for ages, although recently Nokia transferred the ownership to community, but from the looks of it, the community is very active and the releases are on track.

Comment Re:governments (Score 5, Insightful) 188

It's more do do with, way too few people wanting to hold their elected officials accountable.

So those few who do, are easy to eliminate.

Take your own country USA for example, as an Indian, I can't help but laugh when I see people being used as mere pawns in the bi-partisanship circus. The right and the left both are equally suckered in to believing that the other side is evil, and will be the end of your country if given a chance to govern. Very few realize that both are sides of the same coin. Same BS sold in different flavor.

This sounds like something a 12 year old with a chip on his shoulder would do. Do you go around pointing the blame at others for all the failures in your life too? You seriously need some kind of professional help.

Well Steve Jobs did it too. Now what does it say about his mental age ?
