The Workplace Shell of OS/2 2.0 and above was much better than anything Microsoft had to offer at the time. Omitting it from this poll is a sacrilege.

The good old days when the only internet access you had at home was dial-up and you had to fight with your sister whether her calling her boyfriend or me being able to check /. was more important. (This was back in 1998/1999.)

Boy, do I not miss them.

WebOS - for all intents and purposes a dead platform - has its own poll option, but Windows Phone 7.x doesn't? That's just ridiculous.

I went straight to the Market to download the browser for my Android. Fired it up... now I'm stuck at "Request sent. Waiting for response..."

I suspect that every other T-Mobile Android user on Slashdot is doing the same, and the poor guy's SMS gateway is now a smoldering heap of slag.

Interestingly, the Market reported that the download count was "10+". Obviously, there's some latency there...

It's also explicitly noted in the app's Options:

Confirm HTTPS Requests (checked by default)

Prompt for confirmation before sending HTTPS requests (recommended as HTTPS requests sent through Smozzy are not secure)

So I guess you want to forget about any good parties you went to?

I've always heard that the best parties ARE the ones you can't quite remember clearly...

Don't be silly. There are no women here, this is the Internet.

You must be new here.

Now now - Schumacher is performing as good as ever. (Save for the occasional bumping into other cars...) His problem in his second career is the lack of a competitive car.

... for creating a site I've been reading daily since 1997. As a matter of fact I made a habit of saving /. for last during the morning routine of checking the various websites I'm reading. Save the best for last so to speak.

Best luck for your future endeavours, and I hope to hear from you soon, Commander. Suggestion: Apply at Google, then port Google+ to Slashcode.

Oh, and I'll never wear pants again, in your honour!

As many have said, just.. thank you for everything over the years. I wish you nothing but happiness and success in your life, and I'm sure your family will be glad to have you around a bit more :) We'll still always be just a click away! We love you!!

I think for my first Android software project I'm going to come up with a text message like program that uses your data plan. I could make a killing on something like that if it took off. Although I'll probably get my ass sued off by patent trolls so I may not bother.

Right after you build your time machine to go back in time 4 years before the 100+ other people already made apps that do just that for Android / iOS.

Yeah, but he'll still have a niche, in the 45 minutes between when his app hits the Market and when the process server brings the patent lawsuit papers.

because Baidu, the most popular search engine over there, is working on a browser of its own which guessing by the screenshots is based on Chrom{-e, -ium}.

Exactly! With perhaps conversation and beer somewhere in between. You're getting it!
