    It now appears -after digging through the linked announcement - that SUEDE is the candidate for default icons.

    A great step up.

    When do they ditch the muddy, dull and visually abhorrant icons? Look at the dialog for Keyboard Preferences. The red/white "Help" next to the Avacado/Harvest Gold horror that is "Accessibility". The moldy folders...

    It doesn't have to look "flash". Garrett LeSage did a half-decent job with the Bluecurve icons.

    That people living under the incredible political circumstances of Israel, and facing the creeping Fascist takeover of the United States find nothing more worthy of their resonsibility for Civil Disobedience than the demise of a fscking T.V. Show?

    That whirring sound is the twin-dynamo of MLK and Ghandi, spinning in their graves.

    It defies satire! Guy Debord could not have had nightmares this bad! It is a demeaning insult to the people who have had to resort to protest actions for redress of real injury and oppression.

    Then, tomorrow was another day
    The morning found me miles away
    With still a millions things to say,

    Return, I will,
    To old Brazil.

    If QEMU works like VMWare or VirtualPC - I believe it does based on my PearPC experience - then you are not using D-link drivers in Linux.

    Windows uses D-link's driver, and then this is bridged to the VM. Bridging requres a knowlege of the Windows IP stack, but not of the underlying phisical hardware.

    To the guest machine, the VM presents a piece of well-known virtual hardware - usually a RealTek or 3Com card.

    You will notice your DSL install has no "awareness" of wireless at all - SSID, channel, WEP, etc. All it sees is regular 100BT ethernet - no matter the real physical interface.

    The main issue with Linux is that these facilities aren't mature enough. udev and dbus are just proof of concept interfaces and imperfect ones at that of a very elegant lower level architecture.

    With the right userspace design (which I think a number of people are currently on the right track with) Linux should have no trouble completely besting Windows in areas that he assumes are somehow fundamentally better thought out..

    Also, although PnP works well for the most part in W2K and above, anyone that has gotten stale entries in their device manager registry tree, and the less than straightforward and dangerous process to fix it will have bad memories that they will not soon forget.

    You are so knowledeble and accurate in your assessment - why posting as A.C.? :-)

    Really, the A.C. responses are mostly: "No! You're the Idiot!"

    Yeah. Maybe. You can do this already, today too.

    The NTFS.sys vcan be loaded as a userspace filesystem, and Aetheros/Broadcom cards have Windows NDIS drvers that have linux wrappers/stubs.
