As a network admin for about 90+ windows boxes in which we have taken AWAY administrative priv's i can tell you that is IT IS difficult to run on a day to day basis without them.
RunAs does not solve all your problems, trust me on this.
Instead of making this another "its the parents fault, no its societies fault" argument or anything of the like, how about you go donate to these sick children who could really use it.
Flame me all you want, but some child is going to be smiling on christmas because of me, and what he thinks is worth a million times more to me than what you think.
recently the company i work for has been working on a large project with AT&T. Suddenly out of the blue we were no longer able to send them email, but we were able to recieve from them. We were able to send to all our other clients without a hitch. We called AT&T and they told us everything was fine on their side, so we went and brought in a cisco consultant since we were unable to resolve the issue. a couple thousand dollars later we still didn't have an answer... Looks like this could be the cause, but then why did AT&T not tell us about this when we called?
I know i'll probably get flamed for this but.... Did you ever think blizzard might be right? Blizzard puts out quality games, and lets people use battle.net without any monthly charge. Blizzard is probably just doing this because Battle.net is their way to prevent people from easily pirating the game. All this talk of boycott, it's ridiculous, i like blizzard as a company and i am still going to buy their games.
way to take a perfectly good intellectual point, and make it seem like something a 14 year old wrote by cursing every 3 words.
damn you slashdot!

Even though sega has stopped making more dreamcast HARDWARE, they still have at least 100 games coming out, some of which look amazing. Sega also stated that they will keep making games as long as there is demand for them. As shocking as this may sound, the dreamcast has a decent user base, who knows how long it can live. Knowing sega however, they often make promises they don't keep.
The main problem with the dreamcast was sega's marketing, anybody who owns one will tell you how great the system is. Many of the games are innovative and insanley (is that a word?) fun (ie. crazy taxi, jet grind radio, space channel 5, etc...).
just out of curiosity, what about people like me? i don't have a credit card, and i don't have a checking account. now it's fine and great when i can get $50 together to buy some software i need, but without a credit card or checking account, how am i going to make these quick easy payments??
if this case drops the price of cd's that will be fantastic. I try to buy cd's from artists i really like but often can not afford all the ones i want, so in turn i download mp3s. If the prices of the cd's drop i can now buy more of the cds i wanted, HOWEVER, what about all the cd's i already own? I own about 150 music cds, now if i was charged 6 extra dollars for each one that's 150 * 6 which equals 900. i was swindled out of nine HUNDRED dollars . Will i ever see a cent of that back, probably not. I'm glad i may not lose another nine hundred, but what about what i've already lost.
just a thought, and i may be wrong because i have read the comics before so i can't really have a subjective opinion, BUT wouldn't you come to the conclusion he has to have something over his eyes to keep them from going crazy once you see the seen in the train station, where he loses he glasses and starts shooting off like katz on a post-columbine topic? Also in the "hokey" statue of liberty scene, magneto says something to the effect of "you better close your eyes". I know there are dumb people in this world, but even with a little bit of sense i think you'd be able to figure it out by yourself.
why is it that anytime something good happens to KDE or GNOME, or any other of the window managers for linux (or unix) people have to complain? all i ever hear is, "kde is the future" "no kde is bloated and slow and crap gnome is the future!", etc. The beauty is that you can CHOOSE. If you are a die hard gnome user that is fine, if you have something to say in an intellectual manner about the "other" window managers fine, but im getting tired of all this pointless arguing.
well, didn't dvd drives provide a way to play dvd's on pc's? I don't mean to nitpick or anything, but anybody can make a dvd player, sony, phillips, magnavox, but i don't think it's legal for anybody to just go out and make a playstation, i mean IANAL that's just a thought.
i've posed this question before and nobody replied, maybe this time it will work. If linking to something that is illegal became illegal, what would happen to most search engines? I'm sure i can go to google.com, yahoo.com, search.com etc and find tons and tons of links to illegal material.
so wait, who has the rights to the 65k+ bugs in w2k? I mean, could microsoft argue they are vital to the OS, or could MS-APs sell them as special add-ons ??
if linking to a site that had illegal content became illegal what would happen to search engines? Right now i'm sure any of us could just go to any search engine and find thousands of links to illegal software, music files, etc. Would this make all search engines illegal? Maybe they'd just force search engines to only search through a database of known "legal" webpages. That wouldn't be a very useful search engine now would it?
at my college (it's a suny) not only have they banned napser, but they've also banned a program called imesh (www.imesh.com), you can't play certain games on off campus server. ALL campus FTP activity (upload and download) is limited to 800kbps. Of course, our main problem is the fact that we have a t1 for about 4000 - 5000 users, they still seem to limit us on almost anything aside from viewing webpages. It wouldn't be so bad if this was a free service, but i have to pay every semester for my internet access (don't have a choice). I guess it just really bugs me because sometimes i download ISO's (legal ones, linux =) ) and it takes me a century and a half. Then again i guess that's just me abusing my internet privlages at college.
no matter how large one company becomes, the united states strives on small business. Without the little guys, everything goes to crap, so i wouldn't worry to much.

As an AMD64 users i crave a GPL Flash. Currently i am using gentoo and there is no 64 bit flash available that seems stable.

somebody pulls a gun on me, i knock it out of their hand and then try to shoot them....... if it's a smart gun...... i guess...... i better just run!!
(and give up trying to rhyme words...)
MS Office, Video Games, and other little nifty things like being able to direct connect to other users with AOL Instant Messangers.
If i could do those things in linux, oh man, i could die a completely happy person. I love Window Maker too.
I know i'll probably get flamed for this but....
