I read somewhere it was a SAN which had problems and got maintenance and failed after that. But not having a backup is just stupid. They probably thought, it's fancy pancy RAID-whatever it'll never fail. Right.
Their is also a StartCom/StartSSL WOT, their free SSL-certs root cert recently got on the Microsoft list, although the update was still optional last time I looked.
A lot of root- and toplevel-nameservers run on open source software too. NSD, Bind if I'm not mistaken. Ohh, scary ! Not really, works really well actually. 'Even worse' I think the database-system that runs.org is PostgreSQL.
I think the biggest problem for Microsoft with Linux is, people don't need to buy any other hardware. If Linux is good enough instead of Windows people can just install over it. If you want to switch to Apple you would also need to buy hardware.
IPv6 by 2006, no, but _possible_ to run IPv6 on the backbone and other infrastructure by the start of 2009 or whenever it was, but much later then 2006
I've never understood the GIMP-interface comments, Photoshop isn't easy to use either. It's just people already know how, probably started on it. GIMP and Photoshop are very different though, that's probably very annoying.
Totally agree, although I've had to use presentation so little, the few times I've just used Abiword which did what I wanted, nothing else. No syntax to learn. And that was perfect for me.
Linux 2.6.31 (released in the last few days) and Linux 2.6.32 will have quiet an a big addition of AMD/ATI Kernel Mode Setting code and x.org looks like they might start to release something new for the new Ubuntu release.
Hopefully they will get some things right, because the next release after that is probably going to be LTS.
I have an old Sun Sparcstation 4 I don't use anymore, but I did get myself a proper monitor cable so I could connect any monitor ( with DE-15 on one end and DB13W3 on the other ). I now have a Soekris box.

Why ? Their is no way to win that game.
You do make backups, right ? I guess if your company or product is called Danger, maybe not.

Actually I think I read somewhere it was actually maintaince on a SAN which was having problems. But the stupidity is, they didn't have a good backup.
Actually the company they bought some time ago is called Danger.
In that case maybe we should be worried if Hell doesn't have a proper winter.
In that case global warming would be very clearly a fact (which it already is).
An other big misconception is, Free Software doesn't need to be free (as in beer). I think a lot of people don't understand that either.
What about a duct ? You have a duct and you can replace what is in the duct each time a new technology arrives that you want to use.
I have some doubts about that, even wget was not safe:

2012 is not the end of the world, it's the end of a cycle. Yes, things change, things change all the time.

If I'm not mistaken Dell sells about 1/3 of their netbooks with Linux and 2/3 with Windows XP in the US. Just look it up.
Also if you want to talk about it: the return rate is about the same, because on their website they actually make it pretty clear it's not Windows.
Even better at times I've seen the Linux/Ubuntu version is cheaper, never the other way around.

It only got accepted after the cleanup, done by GKH.
Paying people less, usually means your data will end up on ebay or somewhere else you don't want it.
This is gonna be 'great'.
That's why I think these companies should be selling webos-mini to enterprises.
So those enterprises don't have to depend on others so much.
Preferable with source code.
That's why he put money away in a fund to fund Ubuntu.
Again, does this work with your BIOS ? I have some doubts.
