Console clockspeed != PC clockspeed in terms of performance.
For other consoles this might be true... But according to M$ FUD this thing will have a x86 processor and some crippled (I didn't know it could get even more crippled) w2k. So it will basicly be a pc. I think you can compare it in this case.
'Normal' planets rotate around a fixed reference point (the sun, which isn't fixed either I know) so you could say they have a home. These 'wandering' planets do not seem to be orbitting anything.
Maybe 'Orphan' planets is a better description though?
There is not much difference between socialism and communism, they both have the same ideals. A hundred years ago it eaven ment the same, it only got split up later. The difference is that communists want to achieve their goal with a revolution whereas socialists believe in a more graduate change.
So is Linux socialistic or communistic? I think more socialistic (unless you count the 'nuke redmond' attitude most slashdotters have).
No he didn't he designed dome shaped structures whit a similar structure as the bucky balls, the guys theorizing about the carbon molecules were inspired by his work.
I'll bet there were more Linux installs last month than there were W2K
You forget that the average windows user installs windows at least once a week. THIS IS NO JOKE many self proclaimed 'experts' I know will tell you to reinstall windows when it crashes a few times. How many times did you read a newsgroup were someone proudly tells you that all his problems are fixed and his computer runs 10 times as fast just because they have reinstalled windows? None of them seems to think about the fact that they just installed the SAME program with the same bugs as before and that their registry will just bloat within a week.
Didn't you mean to type 'power draining'? w2k needs more memory just to boot than I need to run my entire linux system including x, netscape, seti@home and all my other apps without swapping!
I have got it to, lets email mattel our mirror url's so they can add them to the block list!!!! Lets see how much they are going to bloat this list before their software is complete useless!
Just another FUD just like that other nonsense about security
The fact that you can fork means it will adapt to demands instead of following the will of just one person/company, if I think that somebody is going into the wrong direction I can take his source and go the 'right' way. The users can decide which is the right way themself and eventually one version will stay, it is just evolution!
Anyone notice they use $-signs to express markets? They probably never did get that 'free' part....
but if I were a cracker or some 'malicious' computer nerd, I could have hacked a user's password just from being root on the machine, and probably gotten access to other machines controlled by the password.
In this case it is entirely your own fault First you told the program to remember your password, this might seem handy (and it is) but anyone with half a brain knows it is insecure second you are asuming that this cracker already has access to your system and can read your files. If you had made this file only readable by you and the root this would make it a lot more difficult. Third: Don't use the same password on every system
This shows clearly that a system is only as secure as its user lets it be!
And where are they getting their money from, if the major service is free? I didn't even see any adverts on the site. How are they going to stay around?
They say they are going to rent applications to you, so you probably will get only the very basic for free... But still nice
As for init scripts, that is a matter of opinion and circumstance. Sure, BSD-style uses less files and no symlinks. But how many times have you tried to shut down just one service? How easy is it to turn a single service on and off? You might not think that that is a common task. I haven't had much use for it, but I have had some. I have fetchmail running as a daemon, and at times (for procmail testing) I don't want it to botch my testing. So I turn it off. Maybe you would prefer dealing directly with fetchmail, I kinda like being able to say "stop" and "start".
How about kill or even better killall Modified a config file? just do 'killall -HUP ' Or do killall -QUIT and start it later again!
You don't need start and stop scripts to do this kind of things.

A lot of communists (the real kind) today call themself socialist because communism stands for a totalitarian regime for most people.

p.s. I regard myself a socialist to (the non-violant, pro-democracy kind)

I use Linux (and a litle bit of FreeBSD). I don't want a userfriendly os, I want a good os!
I use slackware because it works and it is simple to modify.
I use twm because it is also easy and simple and fast above all!
