Have you ever seen how many different calculator brands and models there were in the former USSR? There are even multiple brands of Soviet synthesizers.
A more apt comparison might be made to the US's political parties. You don't get much choice, but at least you aren't confused.
My favorite movie hacking moment is when the spunky young hacker girl in the movie Jurassic Park steps up to the computer in the operations center and triumphantly exclaims, "This is a UNIX system! I know this!"
One funny thing about that shot was that the 3D fly-by style filesystem navigator is actually real.
Actually, I really liked it. Where can I find more crazy japanese flash nonsense?

IS this a joke? Your software is garbageware. People who know what garbageware is generally don't want it polluting their computer. People DEFINATELY don't want any program uninstalling any other program on their machine. You can excuse yourself until you turn green, but there is no reason for anyone to feel sorry for you, or for them to have your software installed in the first place! Ad-aware is a tool that users install to help them remove your garbage and other programs like it. Your program isn't even a tool, it's crap.
People like you help make the world a more disgusting place to live in. If I ever find your software on my machine, I'll fly to Russia (or wherever the hell you are) and personally KICK YOUR ASS!
In AD 2002, war was beginning. Phil: What happen? Admin: Someone set up us the bomb. Receptionist: We get signal!! Phil: What?!? Receptionist: Main screen turn on. Phil: It's YOU! Asscroft: How are you gentlemen !! Asscroft: All your file are belong to us! Asscroft: You are on the way to destruction. Phil: What you say!! Asscroft: You have no chance to survive make your time! Asscroft: HA HA HA HA... Phil: Take off every 'gpg' Phil: You know what you are doing. Phil: Move 'gpg' Phil: For great crypto!
Anyone with any sense knows that the Feds have been working for years to stop the public from having strong crypto. They have a great excuse now for pursuing and eliminating easy-to-use crypto. I just can't get the image of Asscroft, spittle spraying from his gob and drooling onto his chin, chanting random passages from the Bible while he plots the next liberty-divesting move that he and his goon-squad comit.
No. Text that describes how to take an airliner into a building, or cutting power to a train, or hacking MS IIS or almost anything else aren't illegal in the US. Look up the terrorist's hand book or the anarchy cookbook or many other things at textfiles.org!
High school was boring enough first time around, son.
When somebody tries to become an authority on a certain topic it is instructive to determine what qualifications they have on said subject. Seeing or even owning books is not necessarily a qualification. Reading and retaining the knowledge contained by such books may be.
The sad fact is that warrants aren't even really necessary if you have access to the machine. Aside from the access issue, the Carnivore system has yet to be audited by an independant group, so we don't know if it scans the mails for flags and then spits out warrant requests or what it does.
And if you think it's difficult to get a warrant in America today, I suggest you go read 'The USA Partiot Act' - it will disabuse you of ANY notion that warrants are more than trivial to get ahold of nowadays.
Excuse me? Where did I ever state that FreeBSD is or is not ANYBODY's darling?
If you are attempting to say that FreeBSD is indeed bleeding edge, you obviously haven't done much research on the subject. FreeBSD aims to be stable, and integrate proven technology.
I'm not impressed with your weak attempt at flaming me. Apparently you aren't very impressed with your own statement either, as you have chosen to post as an AC.
So, sooner or later there'll be non-industrial primitive types dancing round these things, waving spears, and saluting the Great Square Temple left behind by the Gods of the Elder Days...
And I'll be there, my brain encoded into a matrix of ageless circuits, my elderly titanium body stronger than the weak calcium matrices by far, sadly watching them through my photo-sensors. Then, I'll turn around and mount my last-model hydrogen groundcar and drive into the nuclear sunset.
Actually, wind power is being backed with large batteries and flywheels all over Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon and Washington (in the Columbia river gorge) and California. Family farms, who have been having a harder and harder time of it in the last 15-20 years in the midwest are supplementing their income and getting discount electricity by leasing small (generally less than 1000 square feet) patches of their fields to co-op electricity generation outfits that are owned by their customers. Big Oil has been buying and burying patents that involve eco-friendly power generation, and the means to store it for a long time. Only now are we seeing more friendly power being exploited on a large scale all over the world.
BTW, a good portion of the power consumed in the Pacific Northwest is generated by dams and wind. Dams are non-polluting, but have their own special problems.
Whoa, there. Just because Tesla hadn't recieved formal physics training is no reason to blast him. In fact, had he recieved formal training, he may never have made several of his discoveries.
Oh, and the so-called 'nonsense' that he played around with? Not only did Tesla, in all probability, create the world's first maser, but there are still a great number of his 'nonsense' patents that are classified for national security purposes.
Actually, every journaling FS on Linux that I have ever used (JFS, ReiserFS, EXT3) has puked on me in some way. FFS+S on BSD has kept my FS in great shape after numerous power outages and other failures (all my fault).
Obviously if Linux has never crashed on you, you have missed out on the 2.4 series.
There is one thing that Linux has going for it that BSD does not, and that is the experimental factor. People extend Linux in crazy ways that BSD just doesn't go. That is a direct reflection of design philosopy of each system.

Actually, the power button IS on my keyboard, or rather off to the upper right a bit.
The TiG4 has a round metal power button, which functions exactly like the old (ahem) power button.
The only difference, as far as I can tell, between the two political parties today, apparently, is which groups of corporations own them.
On a related note, the Earth has developed a slight eccentricity in its orbit: the Founding fathers spinning in their graves!

I've been calling it the Apple key ever since the early '80s. There were Apple keys (closed apple and open apple) before there even WAS a Windows.
The 'command key' nonsense pisses me off. They should officially call it the Apple key.

Oh, and she was using a Mac at the time.

Dude, seeing a book and reading it are two different things.
Dissing Microsoft Passport only to suggest using the Liberty Alliance Project.
HEY, DIPSHIT! I don't need either one, because I can REMEMBER MY OWN FUCKING PASSWORDS!!!!!
This bill is one of the best ways to assure America's place in the third world.

Be careful, Asscroft and his world wide web of entrapment are always close by.
either you have it or you don't. Thanks Disney!
Damn, it kind of sounds like overkill to use a z-series mainframe to handle a measly 700 e-mail accounts. A 486 should be quite sufficient for that.
