Well, I reply to this not to comment on your feelings about ISPs and daemons, but becase you bring up the stock libertarian bogeyman, the free market. Because there is no such thing, not in this country.
A connection between primitive man hunting and the Littleton shootings. Get a hold of yerselves.
If anything, there's a Christian Revival in Denver, expore that. You don't have to have wacko libertarian views to work with computers. Just accept that the politicians have it right, some of the time anyway.
Lies, damn lies, and corporate speak. Are there people who buy Bill-Gates'-speak? Is the ocean deep? Maybe Bill Gates thought he was being gracious. Giving the loser something to feel good about. The battle for the server is over.. oh wait, we lost that one.. um, the battle for the desktop is over.. um, oh OK, Linux will have limited impact... that sounds good, vacuous, but good.
OK, he got his two minutes, now I'll go check if the kernel finished trickling in.
So now ZDNet is some kind of exalted reference? From the flood of vituperation pouring out on Al Gore, it looks as if most/.ers are just looking for something to flame. Like newbies on Usenet. Personally I think anyone who speaks out unambiguously for education, technology, and decent attitudes deserves some respect and a whole lot of latitude when it comes to technology. Unlike ZDNet, and like Al. Think of him as a case for gentle reeducation. And don't let your flaming right-wing ideologies show, it's unbecoming of the 'net.
So apparently he's running IIS. And he asked for contributions of Open Source and Linux stuff. Hell then, somebody make him get God - ie install Linux/Apache for him. Splash the penguin discreetly all over his site. Millions of people who don't/. will see it.
And instead of that, all I see is derision. He's trying, now if only you could think of the opportunities.
I think you mean the window manager when you say "user interface." Such as olvwm? The first wm (I used anyway) that had real virtual desktops, where you could drag things between desktops on the virtual desktop window itself? You can set up the wm to mostly stay out of the way, as they say, perfection is achieved not when you can't add anything more, but when you can't take away anything.
The fact that the only OS other than MS's NT gaining market share is one that is developed outside the market framework is supposed to support MS's argument? That is, to develop an OS regardless of the fact that there were more apps available for a competitor needed developers who were free from the pressure to sell, does not contradict the statement that with more apps you can increase your market and become a monopoly in a market where different companies are trying to make money from the same market.
Well, it's very nice to hear your views on Bill Clinton, but the NYT has actually been anti-Bill in the great republican crusade, so that puts you in agreement with them.
Maybe next time you'll keep your politics and technology separate so your punch lines don't coagulate into contradictions.

I'd like to advertise on this site; how much will it be for something just above the site banner?

What's the "open source General Public License?" A separate license, or corporate speak for "free software?"
The irony lies more in the direction the money's flowing.
And it's not Alanis irony either.
Lies, damn lies, and corporate speak.

"...The masses, and in politics the only thing that is important is the masses, will eat up what Gore has to say. In this way will he win. "
And that will be a good thing all around.

AT&T using and promoting NT. AT&T, where Unix was written first. Now that'd be ironic. Really ironic, not Alanis-ironic.
