yes, but also dont forget that bsd also has a pkg_add command. when used with the -r switch, ir downloads binaries of whatever you are trying to install, ie: pkg_add -r kde or whatever, and will also fetch dependicies. so you sort of get the best of both worlds, you can either use ports to compile from source, or you can be lazy and use pkg_add to grab the binaries w/deps.
I'm sure someone else *cough*AOL*cough* wouldn't mind expanding their own network by taking over Excite@Home...
iirc, time warner owns excite which runs @home, and with that merger a while back with time warner and aol...then technically i believe aol does in fact have a piece of the 'pie'.
aye...when i worked for a small mom&pop style computer shop which built computers/etc, we did a server for a local government facility which contained one of these. however, it was only a 64mb drive, used only for one purpose. boot drive. it made perfect sense, use a 64mb drive as a boot drive, and the 5 60gb's as raid storage. mind you, while the drive was fast and quiet, it was very expensive, $400 for that 64mb drive IIRC.
January: New service pack released for security problem to mspaint.exe. File Size: 5mb.
Febuary: New service pack released to fix a security problem with the service pack to mspaint.exe. File Size: 20mb.
March: Announced release of a new service pack for various security related issues, will be delayed.
April: Service pack which was delayed last month, and was expected this month will be delayed again.
May: Service pack has been released, this will fix various security related issues with mspaint.exe. File Size: 50mb.
June: Mspaint.exe seems to have a new vulnerability in module 0x000F which will allow a remote hacker to gain administrative access on NT 4.0. File Size: 150mb.
July: Bill Gates announced today that he is disappointed in service pack quality for the new year, he also vowed that, "...service packs in the future will be smaller, include more and better fixes, and be easier to install while requiring much less reboots during the process."
August: Service pack for Windows ME to fix vulnerabilities in various network, and non-network applications released. File Size: 300mb.
September: The service pack that was released was missing a very crucial dll, msfeedback.dll. Users are required to re-download this service pack. File Size: 350mb.
October: "Apparently what had happened was a massive power surge that tripped all of our UPS's", blames Bill Gates in response to the massive Windows NT crashes that occured.
November: Service Pack (7) has been released, for all major versions of Windows: 95/98/ME/2000 which fixes ALL security problems. File Size: 1.2gb.
December: We laugh, because we made $2.8 billion off consumers off such "wonderful" products designed to make your life::box crashes:: "damned Windows"...easier!
with all the platforms, and platform bashing aside i feel the future of the gui will be very strong. however, and apple has seen this, a nice user oriented gui with an administrative backend (ie: bsd/console) makes it a powerful contender.
i dont know what will happen with.net, but i do think two main things are the key to success. a good, solid, stable gui with plenty of configurability, and a good, solid, stable backend, which you can administer via a console.
console/gui hybrids are starting to gain popularity (ie: BeOS, QNX, OS X, etc..), and i feel its important that companies continue along those lines.
a gui cannot do everything, which is why many prefer console. however, millions of users (like your parents, grand parents, etc..) have no clue about bash, csh, or what have you. for them there is the gui.
systems comprised of both, as in OS X, and even Nautilus, among others know this. so the trick seems to be...how to make the gui easy enough for your mother, while still retaining its roots for you, and/or other power users.
sorry if this seems more like a rant then anything else...just my two cents worth i guess...

no, not really
computers are obsolete 5 minutes after purchase ;P
i found a nifty game called ColoBot thats quite fun where you write sub routines for functions in what appears to be very c/c++ like.
it teaches structured programming (according to them), and from what i've had a chance to play around with its pretty damned cool.
you can read up on it here
its not free, but you can download a free demo (win32 only sorry)

hrm...like launching a nuke? ;)
oooh, guess i finally found out what the major cause of global warming is, thank you!
