If they have used ReiserFS, they wouldn't have ended up getting sued by NetApp.

Copper Thieves Jeopardize US Infrastructure 578
coondoggie supplies an excerpt from Network World that might make you consider a lock for your pipes: "The FBI today ratcheted up the clamor to do something more substantive about the monumental growth of copper theft in the US. In a report issued today the FBI said the rising theft of the metal is threatening the critical infrastructure by targeting electrical substations, cellular towers, telephone land lines, railroads, water wells, construction sites, and vacant homes for lucrative profits. Copper thefts from these targets have increased since 2006; and they are currently disrupting the flow of electricity, telecommunications, transportation, water supply, heating, and security and emergency services, and present a risk to both public safety and national security." (A July, 2006 post on Ethan Zuckerman's blog gives an idea of how widespread cable theft has affected internet infrastructure, and basketmaking, in Africa.)

Chrome might not be fully "functional" **for me** compared to FireFox, but it gives me what I want/need from a browser (Speed + Lightweight) in terms of UI.
FireFox gives me the functionality with its amazing set of AddOns for both development and at-home browsing needs.
IE feels slow and bloated and unresponsive since IE7.
Try opening a new tab, try switching tabs....etc.
I don't care about Acid 3 test, but I do care about Acid 2 test which IE8 already passes.
However, IE8 needs to be more lightweight and faster to compete in this new generation browser wars.
Apart from legacy Intranet applications, I see that IE's market share will be diminishing more and more.

Submission + - Internet Explorer 8 delayed until 2009 (pcpro.co.uk) 1
Barence writes: "Microsoft has confirmed that Internet Explorer 8 will not be officially released until 2009. According to a blog posting on the Internet Explorer 8 development site, a release candidate of the browser will be released in the first quarter of next year, to be followed by a final release at an unspecified date. This news comes on the same day that Google is considering bundling its Chrome browser with new PCs. Will the IE delay and Google's tactics help to steer users in Chrome's direction?"
