For browsing : Mozilla - install the calendar plugin too and modify the start HTML page so people are directed to www.mozdev.org and encouraged to install plugins like multizilla and optimoz - the point is to PROVE it's better than IE.

Also,
Bookmark Priest - It's not OSS, but it's free and will help migrate bookmarks from Opera and IE to Mozilla.
You also have the "War FTP Daemon" server which is an excellent server for the slightly adventurous.
Gnucleus - for file sharing - I couldn't recommend a better or more stable program.
What we REALLY need though is open-source Anti-virus.
Licenses are lengthy and complex so that every possible scenario is addressed.
Here's what I propose:
A tree like structure - simple engish for the average user, but a license that expands in a single click from the "layman" version to the "legal" version - taking a page from HTML.
When you click accept, you agree to both versions.
That way, you have the best of both worlds. Also, it's a known fact that when a user understands any agreement, he/she is more likely to abide by it when he/she agrees to it.
A distributed OS is fine. What happens to network traffic the moment this is widely accepted? Also, how secure is it? We need to think of security in the light of MS et al's daily patches.
The idea is a good one. Time and again this concept has surfaced, it gets a little hype and then is lost again. What it needs is adoption on a large scale and ways to bring this to the domestic user.
I'm on a heavy nostalgia trip and I'm gonna check out all the old DOS games over the vacation :
Pacman
Prince Of Persia
Stunts
Lotus racing
Paratrooper
EF2000
MAN! They bring back memories of the time when you were in total control and DOS was king! I'm gonna swap out my 20Gig hard drive for a 540 MB one that still has DOS 6.22 on it and weep as memories come flooding back:)
A ternary ciruit could be implemented using zener diodes..
state 1 -> current flowing in the forward direction (diode conducts)
state 2 -> current flowing reverse (diode conducts)
state 3 -> no current (diode is in cutoff)
Then again, we could even use TRI-COLOR LEDs to implement an optical circuit.
This is the situation...The US has a lot to protect and it has been hit. The Afghans dont. For them to die fighting for a cause to believe in IS paradise.
The US is only out for revenge. Now Bush and his cronies are developing a "shoot first and ask questions later" approach. I'm talking about the consequences.
We really don't care whether we take revenge on the Taliban or just any Afghani citizen. The point is, right now that amounts to overconfidence - in technology and might - which was proven to be of no use by the Soviets.
What makes it so difficult is just this - the terrain - If it were flat like IRAQ - carpet bombing might do some good. But what do u do when you have mountainous terrain covered with caves? One solution is just go ahead and NUKE - which would not do any good to the US.
Also, if you notice, as far as the American public are concerned, they get all their information through the TV networks, which are controlled. It remains to be seen how successful we will be in Afghanistan.
What we know is this will not decrease Terrorism. We're giving a lot more people a lot more reasons to hate the US.

My question is with regard to an instant-on machine. Do you think it would be possible to have AtheOS always running in the background?
In addition, are you planning to implement a GPL-version of VMWare that could run on AtheOS?
Nopes....let's turn it around.
How about a script that informs everyone on your mailing list how crappy MS Software is everytime an MS App crashes? Now THAT would generate some traffic:) It'd be popular too....
Walkin' down the road,
tryin' to lighten my load,
not a very fine sight to see...
A fuckin' blue screen on my monitor,
Everytime I boot NT.
Takin it easy...I'm fuckin queasy.
This is really pushing it.........

What I'd like to see is a processor that can double benchmark scores and not CPU clock rates. Does Intel seriously think the public is stupid enough to buy something just because it runs at a faster speed?
What we need is better architecture (the kind that is not designed only to allow for faster clock rates but for efficient processing), NO RDRAM, faster bus speeds (the memory bandwidth is becoming a serious problem)
This seems to be marketing hype on Intel's side as usual. I think the K-6 to Athlon was a better jump than the p3 to p4.
So far, AMD seems to be heading in the right direction. Wonder if they'll pull the carpet from under Intel's feet this time as well.
Maybe it's time we stopped pushing the single processor market and went the cheap-multiprocessor way.
ok. so this is what MS is really saying : "Use Linux, people, because we're gonna just destroy all your privacy for our own twisted reasons" This sux bigtime. When will they ever do anything right?
seems these guys keep finding new ways of being pains-in-the-butt. forget uploading data. let's upload viruses instead:) and wouldn't it be a nice piece of irony if Microsoft's servers could be used to host Microsoft hate sites?:) But seriously, these guys need to know there is a word called privacy.
