dir works under most linux distributions similar to ls -l, maybe it's just aliased by default or maybe it's in bash, not sure, someone else probably knows more about it than I do
I'm not sure about the original poster, but there are many of us that prefer the OpenStep style interface that WindowMaker/GNUStep emulates. It is much more intuitive and easier to use than the WinXX type interface and also allows easy custimization... It's not being different for the sake of being different, it's being different for the sake of a better user interface
You don't really need a browser that can do "fullscreen mode" in Linux. Just set up virtual desktops in you window manager, resize the window to extend beyond the top of the desktop and onto another and you end up with a fully functional "fullscreen mode" no title bar, no buttons, and if you don't want the scroll bar resize that off the screen too, magic.
"(the kernel and all the tools required to develop and run applications on top of it) is amazingly cross-platform--look at how little platform-specific kernel code there is."
I think I've read both from Linus and AC that the kernel is coded entirely in assembly, and if I'm not mistaken that is very platform specific... Think of how long it too to release the Alpha version of the kernel.
I don't agree India has the right to be hostile any more than any other country in the world. Believe it or not the US intentions with the bombing of Iraq was not to start a war, or to increase tension between the countries, but to stop a war that could kill millions of people (with chemical weapons and possible nuclear retaliation), this doesn't make it right, but we also have to consider the decision of the French and English governments in the events leading up to WW2....
Also I don't agree that any country should be allowed to do any nuclear testing at all, with every nuclear weapon explosion radioactive particles are released into the atmosphere and scattered around the globe increasing the chance of birth defects in every nation.....

The AC was referring to the usage of the word than instead of then when making comparisons... basically just wasting bandwidth
