Dialog boxes are often copied from Windows. It used to be that you logged out of your session. Microsoft changed it to login as another user. In the latest KDE I have tested (3.0), you also login as another user instead of logout (which I think is confusing). So, to say the KDE people doesn't copy Windows, good or bad, is just plain wrong.
However, the data you're using is nearly five years old, an eternity in the technology world. FreeBSD is certainly no longer an order of magnitude more stable than Linux
I don't know. Doesn't Linux still have problems with heavy loads? Isn't that one of the reason for the frequent change of the VM?
People used to download Netscape when NS was better than IE. Eudora is doing pretty well, even though Outlook Express comes free on the desktop. People will use an alternative if the alternative is significat better than the built-in.
It's hard to have portable phones between networks if the networks use different protocols. If the US would standardize on one protocol, this would make it easier. The problem is, the free market really doesn't force this, since it is in the interests of the service providers to lock the customers into their service (or make the switch more expensive that the customer feels it's worth).
I'm talking about San Jose, CA. As in Silicon Valley. My friend can't get a signal when he's inside his house, he has to go out. I'm on AT&T and lost the signal one (1) mile from downtown San Jose.
You forgot the best DS9 episode. I think it was called "In the Pale Moonlight" or something like that where Sisko basically hires Garak to assasinate a Romulan senator so that the Romulans join the war on the side of the Federation.
USS Voyager wasn't an average science ship. It was a Intrepid class ship, a design between Defiant class and Excelsior class. It was originally sent out to capture the marquis. You don't send a science ship to do that. Intrepid class ships are probably like Cruisers in today's navy.
There are no substitute for work experience. I thought I was pretty hot programmer coming out of college (with a CS degree), but it's nothing compared to what I've learned the last four years working.
I'm not saying college isn't useful. You can see the difference between people who got an education and who didn't, but work experience should count for a lot.
Actually the big companies don't feel like they have to be there anymore. I don't think Microsoft went this year, and both IBM and HP scaled down their booth. I think the future are the focused expos, like OpenView Expos, or Microsoft Expos, Linux Expos etc
Asian programmers, IMOH, are less likely to take the chances thier North American or Europeans counterparts would take.
I would agree with this. I'm Asian, but went to school in Europe and US. Education wasn't about learning the tools, as much about learning the fundamentals. The knowledge I gained from programming in UNIX in college, could be applied to programming in Windows. I don't think the reverse is necessary true. An Asians are a very conservative bunch of people.
Really? That's not the impression I got. I went there 2 years ago, work related, and all of the engineers knew Windows, none had used Linux (or UNIX is general).
I find Indians to be very pragmatic. Windows is the most popular OS, so that's what they learn and use.

What's your definition of fair use? Just wondering...
Apparently he didn't like it much, since he wrote two books were Kirk gets reanimated/brought back to life, and kicks some serious Borg ass.
Well, it doesn't really explain why even in the urban areas in the US, the coverage is spotty.

Actually, I think they recently introduced the .name TLD.

Find a bug and collect the money. Big incentive to find a bug, I would think....

I think the above poster meant the name of the candidate gets printed, not the name of the voter.

Doesn't really matter what the /. crowd wants. The channel would run out of money in a year anyway.
All encryption can be broken given enough time. It's really a matter of how long your data is sensitive, and then choose your keys accordingly.
Not disagreeing with you, just wanted to add something.
So, you got your advice from a legal consul, and you're thinking about ignoring it in favor of advice from the /. crowd? Is that smart?
Try getting support for Redhat 4.2, or Debian 1.0...
How is what Microsoft did in NY different from what IBM did in SF?
The LK team has no interest (and I maintain that they should have no interest) in maintaining binary compatibility for modules between major versions.
If only that was true. 'Problem' is, they don't even maintain binary compatibility for modules between minor versions.
