I agree 100%. The mental health care system (or lack thereof) treats people with mental illnesses as if it's their fault that they're ill. Kinda like the druggies and the AIDS patients.
DNA, by it's very nature, has DRM built-in! Your DNA is unique and won't work without medication in another human being. That's unfortunate because all my DNA has been playing is jazz. I want something else damn it!
I'm all for animal testing and all. I'm no animal rights advocate by a long shot; but intentionally giving mice schizophrenia seems a bit wrong to me. Schizophrenia runs in my family and I want to see a cure as much as anyone else. Therein lies the conflict. I suppose the mouse gets it if the experiment can do some good.
I agree 100%. OSS is like a religion: in order to be a believer, one has to choose. People saying that schools should only have OSS software are missing the point that in order to have true adoption of OSS, the parents, the students, corporations etc. should adopt OSS solutions before the people doing the education will get the point. People are just buying MS software because that is what they are comfortable with.
I use Office 2003 and OpenOffice almost on a daily basis and don't have a problem. But I'm not a n00b to alternative software. I also use Firefox, but I'll be damned if I try to force my mother to use anything but IE (which she is comfortable with).
I like graphical installs (YaST, Yum). They are less "make work" for me. I just couldn't get Ubuntu's version of that to work. Like I said before, it may have been a hardware issue. I don't know.
The package installation process was one thing that made me go to another distro (Fedora Core 7). I think my hardware set may have been too new for Ubuntu. Who knows? Maybe I'll give it a go if there is a new version released.
BTW, I wasn't trolling. I was stating an opinion that is valid.
First day of CCNA training, I definitely brought a can in with me and asked the instructor how he was going to teach me to use it. My cookies were sticking to the cookie sheet and I was hoping for some answers.
I sure am going to hate to have to make a crossover cable just to do anything useful with the router formerly known as Linksys.:-(
Also, people want something that they are familiar with and can use without much training. Linux has a slightly steeper learning curve than Windows 2K or XP: which users probably already use at home. Despite all the rhetoric, Linux is not for all people.
Also, from a business standpoint, is adopting new IT ideas for the sake of adopting new IT ideas a good practice? I think all 500 of the Fortune 500 would respond with a resounding "No".

Troll and insensitive clod!
If things weren't going bad enough for the PS3, then this comes along.

That is the question. Will it blend?

One is a genius... the other's insane...
I'm a mechanic by hobby and an IT guy by trade. I don't want those two to combine. Besides, do we really need more shit to worry about under the hood?
Exactly. Isn't the main function of the iPhone to be... I don't know... a phone?
Could the first app render the iPhone into just... A PHONE?

I was one of those in that number. I want to hang them up by the short hairs... The thief and the intern.

I can't find it anywhere online. I'm pretty sure it was a gimme from Redhat.
I have a poster in my office with all the lines of code for kernel 0.0.1. It's uber-geek. A must have for most slashdotters!

I hope not. Ubuntu may be good for some, but I found it to be relatively useless once I got past the eye candy.

is will it run on Linux? Or will there be a workable port available?
it does run on Linux. :-)
Could you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?
