Aah, so they're capatalists! That's even worse - somebody who does something they don't believe in so they can make money. Would you buy a Bible made by Arayan Nations, made for whatever purpose?
RedHat installs no limited quantity of stuff. It's huge, and it installs stupid servers by default.
Secondly, security can only be viewed as an "event" if you truly believe in event driven-programming. It's a feedback loop, between the outside connect (from a hacker or else) and the response. If you get hacked, you fix the problem and try again. No amount of auditing can fix that feedback loop. The only secure computer is one people can't connect to.
True security will come when we have adaptive security systems - after all, Internet-connected computers get bombarded by information in the same way that we do, and we deal with it through adpativity. Design can only work so much on us (parents know that), but adaptivity is king.
KDE2 is really nice - it no longer looks like a Windows clone, but actually sort of reminds me of the SGI desktop now.
Speaking of that, anybody from SGI want to comment on why their best piece of software, their desktop environment, is still closed source? I'll do anything to get that on my Linux box!
Sorry... but replaced Debian a while ago. It just never works out of the box with TNT2 cards, at least not in my experience. Had problems with a V3 as well.
Mozilla only runs on one platform, and that is its horribly bloated abstraction library. That runs on multiple platforms.
IE works on Windows, through another horribly bloated abstraction layer on UNIX (Solaris and HP-UX) and on Macintosh. Mozilla doesn't really support more platforms - just more configurations of UNIX.
Debian's X configuration is always screwed up out of the box. Garunteed.
I know. I just got very busy (lucky me), and they just plain dropped me. Oh, well. I didn't want it anyway. WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux is a slow, bug-infested piece of crap. No amount of beta testing will fix that.
After you hit the button/fill in the little bubble/shoot the chicken on the screen/whatever your area does to vote, it goes off to a big vote tallying center, which uses this closed source software to count the votes. And, no, the software wasn't tested, because it's not necessary for small elections. And besides, the people running the center can de-fraud (har har) the system for the test. This isn't a COTS system. It's a special company doing the counting.
If you vote based upon women's right to choose (or not) rather than on underlying social stability, you shall reap what you sow. Voting on petty personal issues (personal means not effecting societal stability as a whole) like that is likely to destroy the country.
Vote on who you think will uphold a worthwhile society (*cough*) rather than upon petty personal issues like taxes, Social Security, and Medicare. These issues will not influence significantly one way or the other the decline and fall of American society. Indeed, they take attention away from worthwile issues!
Please, consider the long run, and the worthfulness of American society. Vote what's best for that.
Of course the internet will crash. All the AOL and @Home users are going to take the day off, tell their boss they're voting, and then browse the pr0n sites.
You don't think that most internet lusers are smart enough to vote, right? And if they do vote, they need to be stopped now! No cluless folks voting for president!
Nobody cares. Go home. 1984 didn't/isn't going to happen, not in our schools or anywhere else. They're too busy signing contracts to put Nike and Pepsi adverts in the schools to actually be dangerous. We've passed the point of actually being dangerous to ourselves. We either spend the next thousand years on cultural valium or in barbaric anarchy, but not 1984, and not your scary vision of "future schools."
Besides, smart people are already marganlized enough.
I know there's a place for while. But when you need the assembler to do what you want it to do (and btw switch is a redundant feature of C that should have been removed), and you're thinking of your code on the assembly level, you want to use goto.

Which head of Kerberos? Or are they all collectively gnawing? Or taking turns?

Are you using 2.0Final or a prerelease? Try upgrading to 2.0Final if not.

Need I go on?

IE on Mac != IE on Windows. Two seperate browsers, two seperate rendering engines. M$ just confused the name.
You, sir, are a moron. And check your X configuration as well. Your FontPath is probably screwed up. Debian never got X right in the first place.
Use Konqueror - it's fast, stable, renders everything, and uses Netscape plugins and Java.
The KDE requirement is not a big issue. IE requires Windows, so why can't Konqueror require KDE?
Oh, really? And this isn't a modern browser... for what reason?

I've gotten dropped from one Corel beta for forgetting to put in my bugs before the deadline... very smart of them.
Politics in Chicago? Yeah, right. How much more fixed can you get?

Nope. Wrong dystopia.

People don't believe things they don't want to believe. Nothing unbelieveable is verifiable, even if it's true.
Hey, I submitted to the IOCCC, and am waiting patiently for them to finish
Geforce2 MX ain't older. It's a new "Value" chip from nVidia.
