The only real way to stop modifications as such is to mask program the ROM in another chip such as the CPU. I know of several computer designs like that (none modern though).
Most likely though, they will use some esoteric, hard-to-find ROM chip.
A linux port would also have to work with the hardware, which means completely reverse engineering the box.
Not impossible, just hard to do.

I have had a similar experience. About a year and a half ago (I think) I purchased the student version of Mathematica and found it to be like a nirvana. I was thoroughly impressed with its technology, but I found the password situation a bit disconcerting.
Later on, when I first tried linux I ditched mathematica because I didnt have the linux version. I didnt even know one existed at the time. Meanwhile, I learned about how much commercial EULAs restrict user freedoms and the first thing I thought of was mathematica.
Upon recently hearing about the linux port I simply said "cool" and left it at that. I didnt want to fall right back into the hands of a commercial software company.
I find it sad that there hasnt been more progress in this area but, as with all things open source, it will improve over time. I would love to see high quality free software on symbolic math, just like I would like to see some good open source FPGA and PLD development tools.
Im telling you, if Wolfram open sourced MMa, it would be the first new thing I install on my linux boxen. I dont mind paying BTW, as long as I can study and possibly improve (I doubt it) their code. Im sure their programming is impressive, to say the least.:)

your world view is spectacularly non-useful when it comes to the issue of improving the human condition. Perhaps a 'grand social scheme' will fail to solve the world's problems. There's always that risk. However, sitting idly by waiting for the world to come to rack and ruin will _inevitably_ fail to solve the world's problems.
So are you saying that, by believing that man's problems are caused by a sick heart (Im talking about everybody, not anyone specifically...) and believing in a God (whether or not you call him Jesus Christ) means that we are sitting idly by letting the world fall apart? Do you think that trusting in a higher being means removing yourself from society and not working for good?
It does not mean any of that at all. In fact it means the exact opposite. It means striving to better society. But sadly, society is fixed in its ways. And no, I am not talking about enforcing my beliefs on everyone. Im talking about getting people to stop killing each other for one (hey, *I* had nothing to do with the crusades...).
But it is pointless to argue to a moral relativist. Especially cynical ones. Maybe you should try to hear out what people have to say before ignoring every word. I am not trying to convert you, I am just wondering why you deny the existance of sin? Is it because of your own conviction? Or do you sincerely believe that you have the answers for humanity? Do you think that people will actually change their behavior on a mass scale, and suddenly embrace each other with open arms?
No one can change people. People will never change. All one can do is strive for the best changes they can make in this world. Please don't say that we are not doing that because we don't agree with you about everything.:) Dilbert: I have become one with my computer. It is a feeling of ecstacy... the blend of logic and emotion. I have reached...
So, if anyone wants to take up the challenge of identifying the root causes of the world's problems...
There is one underlying cause and it has been the same for the entire history of man: SIN.
Doesnt seem like such a revelation now doesnt it? And I dont think anyone is going to stop people from sinning any time soon... Dilbert: I have become one with my computer. It is a feeling of ecstacy... the blend of logic and emotion. I have reached...
That said, I'm not sure what purpose articles that try to play fortune teller serve.
Dont you remember in the Hithhikers Guide to the Galaxy? Deep Thought took some 7 million years to find the Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, And Everything. In the meantime, the philosophers got insanely rich by arguing pointlessly over what the outcome would be.
It doesnt matter whether or not their prediction turns out to be false. All that matters is that they get people in a frenzied debate and pay them for their ideas. They know that their predictions are nonsense, but they also know they are being payed to make them, accurate or not.

Yes, this is very much needed. The first step to learning any system is to get a feel for the enviroment, and to do that, one must first get a feel for the terminology.
Since it appears linux is aiming for the windows/mac audience, it should make sense to have such a guide. How many windoze/mac users that have (at least tried to) turned linux are confused about folders and directories? Even a simple name difference can cause loads of confusion.
I come from a DOS background (yuck) so I am pretty familiar with a command-driver interface, so the transition to linux/UNIX was less painfull for me. But how about all those ppl who have never typed a command before?

From the KDE information menu:
they've got a Genuine Intel PII 450MHz
with approx. 500MB RAM? (or is that total virtual memory?)
They're service was VERY slow. The demand for this kind of service must be pretty high then.
