Even without ACLs, it is more than adequate for 99% of companies. Hell, most of them wouldn't want to spend the admin time required to manage anything more complex.
Perhaps, but then 99% of companies are 10 people. It's not enough for many larger companies. It's like saying relational databases are irellvent as you can write your program to simulate relations.
And of course the bitch that does the false accusation gets protection, while the bloke that has his life destryed has his name spread all over the papers.
Well vote for someone that will oppose those policies. Sad thing is, many, if not most (we'll find out in a week or so) Americans are ignorant of anything east of Maine. America is a democracy, you have an election for President every 4 years and Congress every 6(?) years. It is the fault of every single American who your leader is, just as it's the fault of every Brit that we've got Tony Blair.
And neither do their windows admins. PHB's think that Windows servers must be easy to admin as they look like Windows desktops. Of course in reality they aren't.
I dont mind the Yanks fingerprinting us. I just think that we should return the favour. Arrive by plane (to the UK), three queues:EU citizens (10-20 minute queue, quick glance), World Citizens (few more questions), Americans (5 hour interrogation, lock you up as a potential terrorist if you have a cowboy hat on overnight and send you back)
Do as to others etc. Not that Blair would ever upset Bush though, I wonder what will happen if Kerry gets in...
Please. Cheaper hardware is going to exacerbate the situation by providing even more poor people with the desire for new software that the can't affoard.
Of course this wont harm software companies one iota. They currently sell 500,000 copies of "Spreadsheet X", doesn't matter if another 100,000 people get an illegal copy.
Of course out of all those extra people, chances are 1 person in 100,000 will buy the copy, in which case the software company wins
Or is this a sinister MS plot to get people hooked on cheap PCs, then use a subscription $9.95 a month model to 'rent' the software?
This is of course the exact model that Mobile Phone companies use (and to less an extent, ink jet printer companies), and the model Microsoft wants to emulate.

Mirroring? You mean copying it? Imagine if everyone was so blasé about copyright - bye bye GPL for starters. Dont like his work? Dont read it, write your own instead.
a pub and demanding that everyone stop smoking because you are a non-smoker.
You mean like in Ireland, or (I believe) New York, where the government-de-jour tells private bar owners what (legal activities) they can and cant allow on their premises?
I'm all for banning smoking in public places like parks or sidewalks, but a in a private bar, it's up to the bar owner.
It's a bugger turning all the plasmas on at work every night - 12 plasmas, 5 different makes. You have to juggle remotes, very annoying. A "press once" fob would be great.
if you don't have the originals then you have no idea what you are actually getting
And if you do have the originals you *still* have no idea what you are actually getting. Besides, when was the last bit of freeware/shareware you saw for windows that comes with an MD5 sum to ensure the file is downloaded correctly and non MIMed?
A 2 hour movie every couple of years? I'll take 25 40 minute episodes thanks. It looks like there's no chance of a TV series revival even if it tops $100million.
Just as none of you would use any web browser on linux as root
I use lynx all the times as root when I'm troubleshooting. Of course the difference with lynxx is it's a web browser, not an operating system. Comparing Lynx to Mozilla is like comparing vi to emacs.

It used to be a limit of 32 not 16 and since 2.6 that limit of 32 has been removed.
Mod that up
== SAT TESTS ==
George W. Bush -> 1260
John Kerry -> 1190
So Bush is more likely to vote for Kerry and vice versa?
And of course the bitch that does the false accusation gets protection, while the bloke that has his life destryed has his name spread all over the papers.
Anonmity for both the man and the woman
Digital signing would solve that problem, but of course it's the chicken and egg.
Another great reason to vote Kerry.
I'll be sure to, of course, living outside the U.S. I dont get a vote, so not much point.
I'd imagine American ex-pats might be pissed, and more importantly for Bush, American forces overseas in internet cafes.

The NHS costs arround £100bn (+-10%) a year, thats in the region of £1500pa for every man woman and child. What's typical insurance rate in the U.S?

Maybe they used a web interface to access
Let's just say they don't even know I'm here when I'm wearing it, like right now (so they won't know I'm typing this).
Your headgear is no match for my faraday cage annihilator. Your typing it from 127.0.0.1

I'll settle with firefly back on
IIRC, Mosaic still came with compuserve as late as Feb 95, as did Compuserves crappy homepage builder.
Only in america would "There are other countries you know" be modded "Informative".
Of course China and India coted for Kyoto - they aren't affected, if everyone implemented it, then China and India would do better then everyone else.
The only way kyoto would work is if every country was treated equally.
