It is nice to say that Win2K boxes have less uptime than a lot of *nix/*BSD boxes but the fact is that 2K has only been out for a relativley (?) short time now, the Uptimes Project has some BSD boxes at over 1700 days- how can a product have a bigger uptime than that if it ain't existed that long?
I use 2K, it's not too bad, I prefer Linux but I don't dread booting Windows either
I wasn't aware that there were any taboos on/. (M$ aside) but on that subject, I like AMD and BK and am a Sega zealot- but I love using Linux but if it's taboos you want I have a friend who runs Corel on his 750 K7 (2.2GB RAM), we are trying to educate him....
Bugger waiting that long for a fireworks show, I say we dump all our nukes in the photosphere- may not do much but prettier than letting them rust, hell let's just all shoot the sun with handguns...
It does seem like a worrying trend, even here in the UK you see similar things happening. It seems that people are really gearing for the short term and not even planning for the middle let alone the long term. I don't want to get overly political here but there are parallels with the way we elected our current government, most of the mandate were on short term promises and soundbites whilst any opposition with half-decent policies have been overlooked or derided
It just seems to be a human psychology thing, maybe too many people are taking the axiom 'live for today' to the extreme, anything that can't be done yesterday it is too long. I do not want to appear flaimbait here but as a newbie that seems to be a problem with UNIX/Linux, this ain't a criticism, it is just harder to learn than Windoze (hard)
The solution seems to be a major reeducation system for the human race- except we won't be bothered to do it, it ain't a problem TODAY
net result- status quo
but at least some people _can_ see into the future
Are we saying that something very, very small has a large amount of power over it's immediate environment?
Is this not already happening on our own mother earth with politicians or companies who abuse their power?
Maybe we could solve two problems at once here, fire all those who disregard employees/public/customers into the nearest black hole thus increasing it's mass, thus destroying it?
-Scientifically poppycock but somehow soothing to the soul...
Sometimes I wonder, people always have a go at the paper clip (and he is annoying) but I have a friend who refuses to go near the cat because it 'acts like it owns the place'- shureley M$ only decent attempt at AI?
Cat AI? what next, rabbits?

Solitaire doesn't crash? hmm, I must have been dreaming all my life (if I had one, I tested Win2K)
