ADHD is basically a kid whos not normal, who rebels.
Only some of the symptoms of ADHD relate to someone being a rebel. From WebMD, some of the symptoms of ADHD:
does not pay close attention to details; may make careless mistakes at work, school, or other activities
failure to complete tasks
has difficulty maintaining attention in tasks or play activities
does not listen when spoken to directly
has difficulty organizing tasks
is easily distracted
unable to follow more than one instruction at a time
Also, clinical tests for it include testing for marked difference between IQ and various aptitude tests. For example, arithmatic apptitude being >2 standard deviations from IQ.
While I agree that some are misdiagonsed with ADD/ADHD, there are those for whom it is a real problem.

Technically, the difference is that each desktop uses it's own set of libraries. This allows programs to easily have a similar look and feel and to work well together within a given desktop. In the end, all Gnome and KDE applications are really just like any other programs; they will run as long as they have an X server to talk to.
What do you mean by ``it seems bare in comparision to KDE's solution''?
You can always run KDE applications on a Gnome desktop. (Similarly you can always run Gnome applications on a KDE dekstop.) If your complaint isn't a lack of applications, what is it you'd like to see?
Here at cs.hmc.edu we do just that. No telnet. Period. If you consider doing this to your system, I'd suggest making MindTerm available. It's a GPLed Java SSH terminal. With that, nobody can have any excuses.
I agree. If you check netcraft, you'll notice that www.doi.gov is running on flavors of UNIX with Apache, as is USGS, and BLM; nps.gov is using Netscape-Enterprise but again on UNIX. Only indiantrust.org is running on a Microsoft OS/Server.

On the other hand, if that were to happen, you should return the X-Box and get a replacement that isn't “faulty.” It would be very poor of a manufacturer to have a device make a perminant change to itself, limiting functionality, without even warning the user.

The article mentions the year -97. Perhaps this is a typo, but I kind of like the idea of using negative years for those before 2000 so that you'd subtract 2000 from a year, but that would make 1997 be year -3 not -97.
The information in the O'Reilly books is value-added. All of the information is in one place and easy to find, etc. The information is also available at no cost. In this case it's the ``trick'' that is being sold and little else.
The P4 came out in 2000 and has 42,000,000 transistors. Six years from now is seven years from 2000. 7 years/18 months = 4.667 doubling cycles according to Moore's law. 42e6 * 2^4.667 = 1.07e9---just over a billion.
While this will be cool, it's not amazing. (Neither is the fact that that computer will come with about 10GB of RAM.)
In addition, compressed hydrogen would make for one HECK of a bomb. Yeah, there wouldn't be a fire;instead, the 60000 lbs of hydrogen would explode with tremendous force, blowing the buildings instantly to smithereens.....
The pressure vessel could burst violently, but it would not be thousands of degrees---decompressing something cools it off. Then you would have 60,000 lbs of hidrogen gass which would burn but not explode. It could only explode if it were mixed with oxygen correctly. The resulting 60,000 lb ball of hydrogen would burn on the edges but at the same time it would be dicipating.
I was just thinking about fule-cells this morning. I'm wondering, is the efflux drinkable?
My train of thought:
Most city water is not what I would consider drinking water. It tastes nasty.
Filters are good but not perfect.
Bottled water is expensive and a pain in the butt.
Then I thought: ``would there be a way to pipe drinking-quality water into the home?'' The answer, I think, is basicly no since you'd need to chlorinate to keep the miles of pipes from becomming a breeding ground.
Then I thought: ``what about piping hydrogen to the house and making pure water there?''
If people were to power their homes with hydrogen, then there would be a household source of pure hydrogen. Here's my question:
Obviously if you have pure hydrogen and clean air going into a fule cell, you could possably get pure H2O out. Is this the case? and How much water is generated per KWh? (maby not enough for drinking water.)
I know at least one person who has specifically not gotten a mac laptop because of it's lack of mouse buttons. If you aren't going to run MacOS (or even if you are), more mouse buttons are good. (My IBM ThinkPad has three buttons. Few laptops have that.)
What I find weird is that in this case, the names of the CDs in question were not made publicly available. I could buy a protected CD, not knowing it was protected. I could then try to rip it and fail. I might then try to rip it by recording from analog in. I would have then circumvented the protection and broken the law without knowing it.
I dunno why the Washington Post, et. al. were making a so-called 8:00pm deadline...considering it wasn't supposed to start until the 1st anyway--not the 31st.

It seems that theKompany's licensing system has gone to great lengths to show that theKompany does not believe in Free Software. In as much as theKompany gives the appearance of representing KDE (which I realize it does not) this seems particularly notable given that GNOME was created in part to make a Free desktop, not just an Open Source desktop.
Does theKompany believe that software should be Free? Also is that a reflection of the KDE community or a minority stance?
I have no problem paying for content. I do, however, mind making donations to for-profit companies. I happily donate to NPR, but if Slashdot or another for-profit company were to start asking for donations I wouldn't pay. Not because I don't value their services and not because I refuse to pay for things I can get for free but because a ``pay please'' business model is a stupid way to make money. Were Slashdot a non-profit, I would certainly send money.

How exactly does a company using BSD-type licensed code restrict the freedom of the original author? All of a sudden they can no longer work on their code?
Complete BS.
Does the author of the BSD TCP stack have the freedom to modify and redistribute the fork of their code that's in Windows?
And of course under the *BSD license if X company decided to incorporate that code somehow into a commercial proprietary product, instantly and unrevokably all copies of said source that exists in the world would spontaneously delete itself and suddenly retroactively become non-free.
Of course not. However if company X does incorporate BSD code into a closed commercial product, that company will have restricted the freedom the original author would have had were the software in question covered by the GPL. When software is covered by the GPL, the ``code will remain free forever.'' (As the original poster said.)

Keep in mind, Evolution is componentized so you only wind up using the resources for the components you use. In your case, Email and Address book.
