I think the CLI should work but inside X ( like in an Xterm). That way both normal users and technically inclined users can use the same distro. And the system should boot directly into X
204 Million listen to MP3's, and never buy the actual thing.
Do you really think so? Most people using the internet live in the US and there are only 260 million people in it. How many people do you think spend hours downloading a song?
Bob Metcalfe is an idiot. Windows uses old technology too (the mouse and icons have been around for a few decades). Every day people use old technology to get to other places (the wheel was invented 10,000 years ago). Even food comes from old technology (BBQ was invented about 100,000 years ago).
I'd rather do it with a human being(female of course). I wouldn't trust a guy touching my internal organs

I have managed to brake my system several times by upgrading libraries. Why? because if i have libjpeg 6.0 and i try to install something that uses 6.0b i upgrade to 6.0b and the rest of the programs screw up.
Then, there's the problem of one package wanting gtk 1.2.13 and another pckage wanting 1.2.14. Of course they are compatible but one program always says that it can't find gtk+-1.2.14.so or something.
Another problem is when you try to upgrade libraries like libstdc++ and you just screw up all your c++ apps just because the package you wanted to install needed a newer version.
Because of all this, I still hav not upgraded to glibc2.1 or qt2.0
Maybe the AI could be open, but I htink there's no way to get the music and graphics to be open anyway. That would mean only a small portion could be open.
Unix was always on mini-computers and servers when DOS and Windows were being installed on millions of PCs and the mini-computer was dying. Now with linux, you can have an almost complete desktop PC.

Of all the people around the world who have played Doom or other 3d shooters, How many have gone into their school and killed living people instead of monsters and demons?
If these games influenced these kids, it's because they must have had serious family or social problems.

redhat 5.2 took longer than 98 on my machine, but that's because I was installing 400 megs of programs, while I only got a web browser and some stupid accesories with windows.
I hate the network config part of the setup. To set my ethernet card I had to go to the maker's web-page and look at the specs, just to find out it was a clone of the ne200 (which appears as ne2K in the installation program
I remember playing Mortal Kombat, but not Mortal Combat. I also remember wanting to kill my PC while trying to play QII. Anyway, I htink that kid should be punished by his parents for playing such old games.

MP3s can't be like the radio because some people download entire albums @128/160/192/256kbps which is very close in quality to a CD

Are you trying to say that you want to go to brazil first?
Ok, this is confusing. I thought Israel was one of the 'good guys'.
Since the playstation is developed in japan why would it be affected?
