Can we please stop overusing this phrase? I'm hearing it more and more from low level non technical functionaries attempting to sound important or relevant. The word you're looking for is either "now" or "yet".
It will never be Windows. It won't have the icons, the fonts, the widgets, the Control Panel, etc. etc.
Make it different enough so that the differences are interesting and engaging and valid. If your people will latch onto a font and then decide they don't like it, they'll never move over to Linux anyway.
Just as people now believe that you can run perpetual Federal deficits, or that all children are above average, or that form is more important than function, or that you can borrow more money to buy a house than you can pay back, there's a growing disdain for people who point out that the emperor has no clothes. Tell people you work on your own car instead of dropping it off at the dealer? Subtle sneer. Drive a used car instead of a new one? Sneer. Study hard and get good grades? You're just a dork, and you're not cool. It's the same anti-science mentality that's been around for years, now broadening to the more practical skills.
It's also the Walmart mentality - why buy something for $100 that lasts forever when you can buy one a Walmart for $9.99 and replace it every six months? Just as people no longer distinguish between news and entertainment, they can no longer distinguish crap from quality. Our cultural egalitarianism now covers everything - and since values are subjective, who are you to say that 1 person's skills are better than another? They're just different, right?
As a homeowner, the only decent work I've had done at my house has been by older, family-run businesses. Newer, younger contractors inevitably do a horrible job and require constant handholding.
Personally, I'm glad that I'll be dead in 40 years - the way things are going I think soon after that we'll be back living in caves.
You can power them from satellites rather than ground based - you'll escape all the dust and much of the atmospheric crap, and your power will be free from the sun. Park a satellite over the Middle East and you have LOS everywhere.
Without metrics, this is just "Please sir, may I have some more?" How about telling us how many servers are there, what their utilization is, client load, etc?
Let people do drugs, and if you have drugs in your system and mess yourself up, you're on your own - no government safety net, no insurance coverage, nothing. Welcome to being homeless, crazy, and dead.
Say you have local access to a machine, which is a Xen guest. Does the machine KNOW it's a guest? If yes, how "virtual" is it, and if no, how would the attacker know to try the escape?
Prior to the mid 80s, not everyone had a microwave, and yet everyone survived. That means a microwave is a luxury item. As is a TV, as is cable, as is a cell phone. I grew up w/o any of these, and we were poor, as in, not every night is necessarily a dinner night. You can be poor w/o being homeless, all it takes is just enough money to pay rent.
Because it will improve the quality of her life, THEREFORE it should be cheaper? You know, owning a Porsche would improve MY quality of life.... should we force VAG to sell them for a dollar?

If you need 9 weeks of Windows and 9 weeks of RedHat training, you've already failed.

That's a horrible reason FOR a government. More people need to remember that.
That's how ALL privatizing works.
So how is it bad if Europe gets another Ice Age?

How many times did this work and we DONT hear about it, in cases where people did NOT take it to their IT department?
Didn't I read a book about this?
The minerals are theirs; why shouldn't they keep them?
What's amusing is that you think you're relevant. You're not a GenX or GenY, and you're not a boomer. Your vote doesn't matter.
Do you think the current crop of politicians WANT people to be engaged and empowered to pick their governments?
Fuck a lot of women. I mean, a lot.
Dude, you just graduated high school - this summer is where you drink, party, and poon.

I mean seriously? Who else besides the Israelis a) hate Iran and b) have the technical chops to do it?
I wish I had mod points.
-1 for signing your post like a douche.

Darwin FTW.
The point is that a guest MAY know via device names locally, but it doesn't HAVE TO know.

Lighten up, Francis.

The Romans also established peace via superior technology. The point of this article is ... ?
The biosphere up there is now tainted by the intestinal and vaginal flora and fauna carried by the researchers. Thanks Boulder.
