Better educated? I guess Microsoft won't be able to push around consumers anymore then since they'll all become better educated and switch to Linux. I guess the oil companies won't be able to push around anyone anymore since consumers will protest for alternative fuels. Yeah right.
What on Earth makes you think the majority of broadband customers will 1, notice whats being done and 2, give enough of a fuck to care? Its a limited population of people who are being affected by this and because of that nothing they bitch about matters.
You actually think common sense will be enough to safegaurd it? The fact that destroying it would be a "very very bad thing" is enough to deter everyone? Did you even _think_ about the nutjobs in the world?
I'm not justifying anything. I'm just trying to understand your antiquated view of modern warfare tactics. I don't expect pilots to hop out of their downed planes with samuri swords and win the war on their own from the ground.
No if an AirForce pilot needs to fight in hand to hand combat then the mission is already lost. Something has gone horribly wrong and the best he would be trying to do is damage control or getting out of the situation alive but the mission is already lost. I don't count on AirForce staff to save my life from an axe murderer, stop bank robberies in progress or perform emergency medical services. I expect them to know how to fly an airplane with deadly preciscion to do the jobs they are trained how to do. We all have our roles in society. Even the military is compartmentalized. Its those jack of all trades, masters of none who think they need to know a little bit about everything and end up excelling at absolutely nothing.
Just how much flight instruction time should be subtracted from a pilots overall experience just so he can learn how to fight in hand-to-hand combat like a Marine? How does that make any kind of sense? Should Marines also learn how to fly planes? Why not just get rid of all military branches and just call them the overall "General Forces". Anyone can join, you'll just be trained in the most half-assed way possible to do a little bit of all things.
Why do you want AirForce officers to be general purpose warriors? They aren't. They are pilots. What more do you want from them? Perfection in hand to hand combat? Thats not what their there for. If you need an on the ground warrior you go for a Marine or Infantry or whatever.
Depends on the distro. Debian and Slackware probably just use pure Kernel.org kernels. RH, SuSE and Mandrake however already test and modify the kernels so that no matter which 2.4 release it is, it just works.
How can you be so small minded? Do you really think all the Linux distro's will be rolled into one easy to use distro? Jesus man open up your brain and let some knowledge in.
Mandrake, RH, Suse = Easy to use distros
Debian, Slackware, Linux from Scratch = Sacred Holy Geek distros.
Now please tell me why you couldn't figure that out for yourself?
Since when is this new? Even with Windows you can lose support if you use anything other than the OEM versions they give you.
Do you have some kind of a social flaw?

Why is it that some people just don't know how to say "Thank you"? They didn't have to offer a form of *NIX AT ALL and they give you 3 different distro's of Linux and the BEST you can come up with is that there are only SysV style distros?
Its about choice you fucktard. Wanting to run GNU tools without running Linux isn't a sin. If you can do so on Mac OS X with fink then I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to also do so on Windows/Cygwin.
Its not important to you, we get that. It is important to others. Thats what matters.
Who's "We"? Some folks will use GNU tools on a completely free OS as is their choice. Others will use GNU tools on a proprietary OS as is their choice as well. Got a problem with that?
Wrong, the power is being taken back by the admins and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. And its not an OS thing. On Windows, Linux or Mac OS X users are being put in their proper place. If you can't take it tough. You aren't paid to like it.
And just what exactly is wrong with that slimy politician paying attention to us? Who cares about his motives. If the politician considers you relevant they'll get things done for you so that they can get what they need in return. No one is under any illusions here.
Don't get cocky YET. Its not as if this whole Linux "thing" is a home-run right now. There's still a lot to achieve/prove and do before it can be considered a success. Ask your question again in 5 years and we'll see if it even deserves an answer.
AIX isn't bad at all. Its just cheaper for IBM to share the development costs of Linux with the world, rather than to continue to pay personally for in house development of AIX. And its not like AIX is gonna disappear anytime soon. Thats still years and years away.
Did it ever occur to you, you little shit ball, that if conditions during a war ever got so bad that the DOT had to take over a road that maybe just maybe your little petty concerns just wouldn't fucking matter?

Oh quit your insipid trolling and shut the fuck up already. Yeah I'm talking to you WireTap!
Thank GAWD

Its not really technologically advanced if it has such a lame installer now is it?

Calling users of Linux leeches is hardly intelligent. For most users thats the entire freaking point of Free Software....the fact that its free.

In the United States you could be on the phone for one minute or 100 days and it would still cost exactly the same per month.

Open Source developers concentrate on what they want to do, not what you want them to do. Get used to it.
Did you know apt-get and dpkg were also ported to Mac OS X by the fink (fink.sf.net) guys? Does that make you angry?
Sells? You mean you have to buy Interix? Cygwin is free! Why did you even waste time posting?

Thats funny. Mac OS X seems to be dealing with my 3 button trackball just fine. Oh wait I forgot you were just trolling.
Going grocery shopping on a scooter eh? How will you carry your bags of food home?
