Or that virtualization, which was such a hot topic in 2006, would have settled down to just another technology?
I disagree, in fact I'm seeing more interest in the topic. I've poked around on various forums and there are quite a few number of people who see Virtualization as a good alternative to dual-booting (unless you have to play 3D games). The latest edition of VirtualBox runs quite nicely (on my Sempron 3400+ and 1GB RAM) and is easy to set up. I recommend it to anyone who's interested.
Something like "I am a happy person who loves their life." turns into "Iaahpwlt1", which is long, contains numbers and letters and no dictionary words whatsoever.
Unless you want to view every security vulnerability by hand and install each patch manually, Automatic Updates is the quickest way of deploying patches to a computer, especially if an IT department has to maintain hundreds of those PCs.
Fortunately, this just adds to the number of reasons to switch to Linux.:-)
Wow, if splashy looks is all it takes to get people to use an OS, then all we need is some Compiz-Fusion & gDesklets/Superkaramba. Oh, did I mention that Linux doesn't cost $400 like Vista?

So they don't check my mail, but they check everything else that I do.
All true, but the big deal here is that this is the first time someone has stepped forward and said, "Hey, you're not complying with the GPL so we're taking you to court."
It'll be interesting to see where this case goes & if other lawsuits will follow if this one is a success.
If a company is trying to force me to use one application, then already it's not worth checking out. I don't care how pretty it looks or how seamless it operates, the point is that this type of thinking will only hurt Apple in the end. That's why I recommend a Sansa and some Creative players, as they show up as a simple USB drive & you can use any application you want.
Why is Theo complaining over this? The BSDL allows you to distribute code under another license as long as you give credit to the author who wrote it. If Theo thinks that Linux developers are all zealots with no "moral" sympathy, then he shouldn't have used the BSDL in the first place. I sound overly critical here, but the BSDL is very liberal in what you can do with the code.
They also provide good wireless Linux drivers and I know that the 3945 driver is included and automatically configured in Ubuntu. They also have an open-source driver in the works for the 3945 & that's included with Fedora, which feels nice to know that's one less binary blob that I have to deal with.
Can we be certain that such machines would be a threat to us? They can have all the processing power and AI capabilities that they want, but unless they feel emotions such as hate and greed, then the human programmer will still be at the top.
Also, one things humans can do that machines can't is think in parallel. Ok, so your dual or quad-core processor gives you multitasking abilities, but when it comes down to it, machines think in serial, a.k.a. one path in, one path out. Humans can comprehend logic, feelings, and other variables too.

Well, not really. True, a lot of the developers have left the three major projects (FreeBSD lost 93% of its core developers), but I wouldn't say it's dying. If a package or new driver is developed in one BSD, it usually gets ported to the other two. For example, OpenBSD started pf and NetBSD helped FreeBSD with its alpha port. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Oh, and to show you what I mean: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7833143728685685343&q=BSd+is+dying&total=5&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

Time to upgrade my toaster!
Just send Chuck Norris over there for crying out loud!

Great, now I've got to change my password again.
Along with the SuSE disc, (K)Ubuntu users can add it to their repos: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php
I'm sure that KDE 4 RC1 will be added to Debian's experimental repos shortly.
At least now we'll have a real reason to go to Mars.

Nah, I was thinking of the song, Master of Puppets.
Obey your master, MASTER!

Good stuff.
...Chuck Norris did.
...I should get a shiny new copy of RHEL. ;-)
Show me someone who takes YouTube videos seriously and I'll show you a future George W. Bush fan.

I haven't tried it myself, but would this be a temporary cure? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1327586/posts
