umm great, IBM has patented the WYSIWG html editor. I'm pretty sure that every single WYSIWG html editor allows a user to enter in non-html (or programming) code & almost every single of these editors have a blank page loaded when you select "new page" that has the basic html head & body tags already there.
what is really interesting is:
"Based on roles-based, multi-level security, certain users of the web site may have access to certain information and others may not" so basically any single website I've written in the past 3 years that uses php functions &.htaccess can be considered prior art. sheesh.
DSL and Cable modems both suck in blacksburg. DSL is way way overpriced and Cable is run through Adelphia, which still only has download-only (two-way was promised a year ago but never delivered). But bburg is still really wired. Most of the apartments offer ethernet connection. There's at least two companies that offer solutions to apartment complexes by running cable, phone & ethernet for residents. They lease bandwidth from VT, so they use the on-campus connections, and run fiber from it. Of course VT's network rocks, but is severly limited because we use Network Virginia, which is nothing more than being forced to use Sprintlink's connection to the backbone. This SUCKS. They have crappy routers that blow out all the time. UVA has gone to using Qwest and apperently they have a better uptime. Oh, and I have some credability here, I just graduated from VT. go hokies!
Now my replay doesn't keep recording WB cartoons instead of Cowboy Bebop. I hate to sound insensitive, but at a time like this, it's nice to kick back and watch some 'toons & anime instead of the news for just a little bit and my replay recorded lots of news instead.. (took a bit for the channel guide to update the programming changes).
basically, back in the day worms only affected UNIX systems because they were pretty much the only systems that were networked and mult-user. Hence, you could write a worm on a major UNIX system and it's affects could be felt for all the users on that system. These worms took knowledge of UNIX and usually programming in c. Today's script kiddies are "writing" viruses using virus generation programs to dump out a lame vbscript to affect outlook users. I think many of the older "hackers" have lost interest in the whole scene or have gone out and gotten high paying software jobs. The major reason for this is because the orginial worms were written by hackers to show off & display weaknesses in UNIX system. Now, script kiddies write virus to show off, but also to cause damage to tons of people. It takes a great deal less of skills to point out the weakness in windows... it's just not built for security by design, it's built for usability.
Since many CS classes at my University (the REAL University of VA, Virginia Tech) use an online-grader (a program that takes your submitted source code, compilies and runs it and verifies the output vs. the teaches sample output), they also have written in a syntactical anaylsis program to check for cheating. I mean, if someone is copying source (that is uncited, of course) then the same variable names and spacing will be used. These are mostly used in the lower CS classes that include many non-majors (I think if in-major programmer get caught, the other CS majors that busted ass to crank out the code would probablly get violent...). But alas, this does backfire - I have heard stories of students going onto other students machines, copying their work and submitted it). This leaves the plagerized student high and dry because there is no real way of telling who cheated (either way, in our honor system, both students are punished).
Do you really think that all the different developers could agree on one distro? Between window managers, text editors, mail clients, even down to location of installed programs (/usr/local/www vs./home/httpd/), but then again that's the beauty of open source. If you like something setup in a certain way, then by all means, do it! When most people starting using Linux, they go for the easiest to use distro (usually). After that, I really recomend trying others if you want, and even checking out different types of Unix out there (BSD, Solaris, etc) for variety.
"Red Hat Linux" instead of "Red Hat GNU/Linux"

I know that their is only one distro (debian) that harps on RMS's "it's GNU/Linux dammit" rant. I agree with his stance, although I usually don't call it GNU/Linux just because it's hard enough to explain to people what Linux is if they have never heard of it, and adding the GNU adds about another 15-30 minutes of explaining. What made you choose for Red Hat to use just "Linux"?
sorry to inform you, but yahoo and google are two different things. Yahoo is a web directory and google is a search engine. When you search on Yahoo, it searchs all of yahoo's directories and displays the results. Recently, Yahoo has started to use Google as a secondary search for searchs that turn up very few results. Google is a search engine that uses a spidering technique to cache websites and reference them by keywords.
yup, that's right no one needs linux... remember that after the 10th time you reboot your windows box for the day. Oh ya, and when you have to pay thousands of dollars in software licenses to run a network, remember that free software is worthless.

nothing else beats a good paper reference when you're taking a crap.
