Hmmm, let me give an example of why Linux is better --
I broke X tonight. After deleting/tmp and symlinking it to another drive, X died. I couldn't get applications to make X connections and when I exited from my session, all was messy.
I logged in REMOTELY via ssh to fix the problem. Turns out that I hadn't set permissions correctly on/tmp for X. Once I did that, all was working.
Now, if I broke Windows, I'd probably have to re-install. I don't even think that the "fix-your-Win2K-installation" feature of Win2K could be started if the graphical shell of Windows gets broken. You think?
Here's the deal -- remote administration with Linux kicks ass. I used to run NT on this same machine and it was SLOW as hell. Now that I run Linux, I'm getting all I can out of 3-year-old hardware. So, utilization of available hardware, reliability (at least what I broke was thanks to my short-sightedness and not a bug in X), and remote administration are just a few of the features that make Linux infinity+1 times better than NT. I have NT experience, but I like Linux a whole lot more, and Linux *IS* a better system.
Alright, I'll stop my ranting now. Let the flames begin...
Seems like private school's looking more and more promising for our youth.
Here in Washington [State], we never were taught creation in public schools. Evolution was the primary curriculum. That's the way it should be. Leave creationism to the church, where it belongs.
I always thought of science being the search for truth. Funny how creationists call their beliefs "science" when they're simply relying on a book that's not been truthfully proven, while the real scientists rely on scientific methods that more than prove their theories.
Well, I always knew I never wanted to go to Kansas, this just proves it.
I always thought that load average was the number of processes running, over any given amount of time (with 3 averages). I'm going to assume that I'm right, because it seems to be a pretty good definition.
The lightning excuse was the worst one I've ever heard.
Alright -- yes, there has been some pretty strange weather this week in Seattle (I work in downtown, and I live just north of downtown), but I work with 3 computers all of which have been working without problems.
Ever hear of a surge protector, M$?
Apparently not.

That's probably a true statement, but moreso Beta failed because Sony's licensing fees to other manufacturers were insane. Beyond that, they continuously downplayed the significance of JVC's then-new VHS format saying certain features like Super-VHS and Hi-Fi audio were "impossible" with VHS, and only Beta could do it. Sony continuously tripped itself when it came to Beta. Beta could've ruled the world, but it's simply a dead, niche market now. Yeah, I'm hurt.:-)

p.s. -- Sorry this is somewhat off topic.
Here's an article from The Philadelphia Daily News comparing BWP to something that screened a year earlier at Sundance called The Last Broadcast.

Both are very similar movies. BWP got popular.

Probably because your computer is too slow...
