Last time I was at UNT you could use the linux machines directly but I know they changed it shortly after I left. They do provide an Xserver for you though so it's more or less the same as sitting in front of those machines still.
Also there are various specialized labs on campus that you'll gain access to if you take the appropriate classes (or give decent reasons for access to the lab maintainers) that have linux such as the CoPS lab. I believe Rada even has a linux based lab for computer linguistic learning. She did when I left anyhow.
So the linux computers that you can sit down at are there they're just not readily advertised.
Something I'm thinking of doing when I've got little ones running around is putting their pc's behind a special gateway. This way I can block off specific websites, ports, etc for their subnet. Maybe even a way to disable/enable the internet depending on the time of day. (chron jobs maybe?) You could also log everything because all the net traffic would be comming over one line. I know it isn't the perfect answer but it seems better and cheaper if using linux than software solutions. If I had it logging some stuff I'd just do random checks of the logs for stuff that wasn't allowed. This would all be pretty invisible to the children too. Keep the gateway under lock and key and I'd consider my self pretty lucky if my kid was 1337 enough to hack my box.
I'm surprised that one or several people haven't signed some or all the politians up for just about everything under the sun and made their e-mail's worthless. Think they'd get the picture and maybe get on the ball to get something passed as quickly as they got the do not call list stuff passed the other week?
I could see a cool use of this. We could use something like AlterNic or OpenNic using something like:
info:alternic/somehost.tld
That would make linking between the two namespaces mind numbingly easy and would basically make it usable to just about anyone.
Until I can open a piece of software, try it, and return it and get my full money back with out any hassel I'll have no problems copying software to see if I like it. It's silly we can't try any software to see if we actually enjoy it at the prices they are at now.
Might take a look at digitalspace I've had my site hosted there since 1999. I've never had any problems or experianced any downtimes longer than a few minutes. With packages starting at $3 USD a month it's a great deal.

just gave me a cool idea get one of these types of mowers. Create a detachable mount on the front or back of the Segway and ya got a cleaner powered lawn mower. I might just do this might make mowing the yard more fun. for a while atleast
I like to see these things ported to linux. I use them mainly 'cause it's what my friends use. I really appreciate the ones that at least provide a java version. Hopefually more will continue to provide linux or at least java versions of their instant messanger produts.
Personally I don't vote because of several reasons including:
I don't want to make a special trip to wait in line and mess with this hassle of somebody finding my name and marking it. Further I don't want to get up early in the morn before I go to work to vote and after work I want to go to bed.
If it were possible to vote online I would defintally do it. I'd much rather login with my voter number and password click a few buttons and log off in my PJ's before I hit the sack.
