This varies from machine to machine. The stuff you install, how do you stress the OS, etc.
For example, my W2K system at work crashes at least once every 3 days, and sometimes more, however the guy in the next cubicle has far more uptime, and the PCs are nearly identical, mostly with the same installed software.
in Rio they speak portuguese thank you very much:P
Well, I work daily with a guy from Andalucia (Spain), a guy from Managua (Nicaragua), couple people from San Jose(Costa Rica), Buenos Aires (Argentina), etc etc, and nobody has trouble understanding each other.
The peculiarities that your sources are describing are minimal (much like the difference between the way somebody from NY and somebody from Austin speak).
My personal experience about "language corruption": I work daily using "corrupted" spanish, full of words from english (I work with computers), and have no problem with it, but using the language like that is like using old and ragged clothes when you are going to paint the house. They do the job, but beside that, I "wear" my spanish as normal as possible:)
C'mon... English is at least as hard as to learn/understand, with its wierd grammar, werid pronunciation, and made-up verbs and adjectives (like the one I just used:P), than other languages like Spanish (I live in Panama Rep.), Russian (my first language) or French ("studied" it on high school).
I think it's a matter of habits. A little kid will learn easily any language he/she's taught.
Regarding mozilla's speed (I mean the overall speed, including, but not limited to loading time), couldn't it be done a daemon that users could have running in the background, so things loaded faster, like emacs users do I believe.
Is there already something like this? Can it be done?
Not everybody who uses RH keeps up with the latest news, betas, pre-releases and stuff.
I, however like the attitude of Bob Young in this letter.
The thing that bugs me mainly is:
RH is a very "visible" distro. Many users may judge linux has a whole on the basis of Red Hat's performance (and I mean generally, not only speed and things like that). If something won't work in RH, new users may say "linux isn't quite there yet".
Yeah, yeah, I know it's been said alerady..
just my 2 kopeks:)
"I think that the open-source movement is in general a good thing. I am not sure that it will ever replace tailored, professional, rock-solid commercial products sold for profit."
Where can I get that?!:P

Actually the clicking on the taskbar to minimize belongs to Win98/IE. If you install IE4+ on NT4 you'll get the same results.
W2k comes with IE5 so that's why you can do it there too.

nah. IE3 sucked hard too. Even 4.0 wasn't that good. But with 5.0 the gap got a little out of hand.

why incompetent?
is tailoring what's been sent so it looks nice on the software you're using being incompetent?
I just don't get it...

what I'm saying is that the winners should be called USA/Canadian Champions and not _World_ Champions.
Canada is American allright, and so is Panama, Brazil and Surinamme.
US people refere to US as "America". That's what's wrong.

NBA champs are called "World Champions"
and so are called MLB champs...
It's the same attitude to call USA "America"

Following that line of thought, anything would scale well, given enough money.

Sometimes I had to dumb down pages for IE, but that was for IE3.
I used Netscape religiously (years) until the day I started to develop sites.

I bet this guy got into linux to be more l33t than windows/DOS users, and now needs a new goal...
