I'm quite excited about the advantages that it will eventually have over Linux.
Name five. No, wait, I'll make it easy on ya: name one. (It's not the trendy OS and lack of script kidd13z are not allowable advantages.) (script kiddies need love, too)
10: processor ids -
most real processors have ids. this was blown completely out of proportion.
9: cacheless celeron -
there was never any such thing as a cacheless celeron
etc.
come on guys. there was a day when you were all sitting around eating chips and talking about how kick-ass this or that intel processor was. why so fickle? why turn so far against them now?
For such a site to publish an article that doesn't universally deride Microsoft or celebrate OSS offerings is a pleasant change from the earlier years.
Not really. Anyone can spew out effluvious pablum comparing any given set of things without taking a stand or offering any sort of insight or information - it doesn't take a genius or even a decent journalist to occupy the middle of the road.

I wonder who these articles are written for? It can't be aimed at new or prospective linux users, since it basically says that whistler is much better than KDE or Gnome.
In any case, the good thing about both Gnome and KDE is that if anyone wants any of those windows features, they can be coded in in a night.
What is the point of making things like this computerized with no manual workaround? That sounds poorly thought out.
the article doesn't say that there are no manual workarounds, it just says that they are expecting troubles with the automated ones.
in fact, it talks in several places about the fact that there are workarounds for everything, and that NASA is going to go ahead and plunge in, knowing that they can get around problems with the automated systems.
check out this brilliant troll by Jamie of/. fame:
Mr. Browne,
* Does the Libertarian Party believe the government should get out of the organ-donor regulation
business? In other words, would you support a system where the rich could buy replacement organs
and the poor could make big bucks by selling their kidneys?
* Does the Libertarian Party support privatizing the roads? I've often seen this laughed off with an
"eventually," or some other non-answer. But most Americans spend over an hour a day in the car, and
one-third of major metropolitan areas are public pavement, so this seems a rather glaring omission.
If the answer is "yes," how do you see this playing out? Do you think the resulting road-licensing or toll
system will result in a more enjoyable, cheaper, or safer driving experience?
* A followup car question. Automobile manufacturers made cars for roughly six decades with safety as
a nonissue. Their rationale was that consumers didn't care about it, and they were probably right: we
died like flies and didn't care. Ralph Nader pushed the government to mandate safety features in the
1960s, and is now credited with saving approximately a million lives since that time.
Simple question. Government regulation saving a million lives: good thing, or bad thing?
* Does the Libertarian Party support deregulation of the baby market? I.e., instead of state-run
adoption, mothers should sell their babies to the highest bidder. (The Cato Institute has issued a paper
endorsing exactly this.)
* Why has Libertarianism not been adopted by any government of any importance in 6,000 years of
recorded human history?

thank god, and go michael. it's about time someone stood up for the little people from you abusive, whiny little baby trolls!
*cough*
No, lotteries are for people who'd rather throw away $5 on a chance to win millions, rather than $5 on cigarettes and a chance to die.
Are you claiming that millions of $$ will keep you from dying?
Of course, if you DID win, you could almost afford a P4 system..
i think toshiba also makes some of them.

nevermind, i was wrong.

it uses WinCE. it looks pretty cool, otherwise - view digicam pix and forward them via email, has built in sound, etc.
sheesh, these things just keep getting smaller and cooler.
please show me the NT command line for displaying a list of open files, sorted by process name.
thanks!

Also, I wonder why they don't compare the GUI based admin tools, ... Possibly because everyone already knows that there is no comparison.
/export/home/l33tj03 -s /usr/local/bin/bash -u 666 l33tj03.. done.
You are SO right. CLI-based admin tools beat GUI ones hands down every time.
