I've not seen the screen shots, since Ubuntu offers both Gnome and KDE, which is Google using? I assume (guessing) that the G stands for Google, not which version of Ubuntu they are using.
Apple stands a greater chance of offering resistance to Microsoft than any Linux distribution does.
Why? You fail to say what Apple has that is so great.
Frankly, isn't the download - install method really old school right now?
Only if you ass-u-me everyone can afford always-on internet or works/lives/travels where it is available and never fails. (rural, poor, travel) You also have to trust your provider and the web for security, availability, staying in bussiness.
In many states, paper ballots read by the computer are standard, but have problems too. Oklahoma has ballots marked by drawing a line between two arrows. Then they are read by a machine. Problems: * people who can not hold a marker steady or see the ballot. Help is allowed under very strict rules. * because of different jurisdictions: city, county, state, national, schools; you may have to mark 4 or 5 different ballots in some years. * Wording on some ballot questions, is very difficult to read and decide which question it is and what yes or no means!!!! Good Stuff: * easy to recount either by machine, or by hand. * "fast" reporting of results, polls clost at 7pm, results know state wide by 10 pm usually. * if a precinct maching is down, after the polls close they can be read by another machine at the county court house.
Just hope you don't get fired and walked out the door. It may take weeks or months to convice the powers that be, that the HD is yours and does not have any company secrets on it. You may not personally fact this situation, but others may not have a good working relationship with their boss.
I tried to find out details on the DRM on my son's christmas gift of a CD from Virgin Music Group. Does anyone know how bad this is? ( I know, all DRM is bad.)
Thank God, he chose to NOT to agree to installing the software, but was that too late, like Sony?
My state (OK) has already sued Sony, is Virgin next? This computer appears to be fine, bzzzz ss8 dfkla8 ksfja;)
Half of our programmers are over 40. Half of the "new" programmers are over 40. We are expanding to almost double. We are adding on to our building. Our "supervisors" are expected to spend half of their time programming.
One of the big items I miss at home. While the Lotus system sucks big time at work, (poor IT management) this is one of the few items that I love about Lotus.
After using linux for over ten years, Mozilla is the best thing that happened to FOSS.
I got feed up with my first job of over 25 years. Bad management, New foreign owners, draining of R&D to overseas, etc. So when the "other half" of the company - spin off due to FTC monopoly concerns after the merger - was hiring, I interviewed. They had me sign papers on a Monday.
I packed up all of my belongings at the old place on Monday Evening, including a complete Dilber doll collection, as I was afraid of the escort service, that they had used in the layoff rounds (over 14 round in 25 years)!
I told my supervisor on Tuesday, then went to HR and applied for the layoff package. I also went around and told everyone goodbye as a precaution. On Wednesday, HR said no, I would have to be replaced (which I never was). So I said fine, my last day is Friday as I had already arranged with my boss. I then said, (a little ticked at HR - again). Employment at will is a two edge sword!
My boss had me backup all of my files and I gave him and my co-worker the CD's. Thursday afternoon, my boss came in and said that he had arrange with HR to go ahead and check out now. So I had a day extra vaction before I started my new job. Since all the people at the new company were part of the same company two years ago. I knew everyone and they knew me. Easy transition.
Funny thing was that after I reported to work at the new spot, HR told me they delayed hiring me because a corporate wide hiring freeze had gone in to effect after my new boss told me he was going to recommend me for hiring. After they told corporate this, HR said they MUST hire me. I have been there 5 years now.
With a town of 36,000. Many people know each other and are friends for life, even after the change. We have long conversations in Wal-Mart!
My county goverment http://www.countycourthouse.org/main.htm is having an election for Enhanced Wireless 911 Service Fees on December 13, 2005. This will add $6 per year to each cell phone bill to pay for the fees and equipment to support location of cell phones to within 100 feet if you call 911. We have already spent a lot of money, via grant, to map Bartlesville with GPS so that the co-ordinates returned via the phone system will mean something. It was amazing how much the maps are off, when compared to GPS. Our 911 co-ordinator has one of those special "military" GPS in her vehicle that gives position to an inch? a foot? She show me how the map and her tracking as she drove to our Kiwanis meeting were offset, She drove through the middle of every building according to the map.
The first time I read this alarm bells went off in my head. (containing open source, commercial & freelancer-built custom components) Hopefully, they are mixing these license's in the proper way.

What the Police, Phone Co., etc. don't want to talk about is the high rate of 911 false alarms. It is so high that if push came to shove, i.e., court battle, a no-response 911 may not be enough of a justification of a violation of search warrant rules.
The same argument may be valid against those anti-shoplifter alarms in stores. The false positive rate (forgot to erase the magnet) is so high compared to true positive (shoplifting) that "resonable cause" for a search may not be legally supportable.
>> "Also, if you can find someone within line of sight who has DSL or Cable modem, you can roll your own point to point wireless network pretty easilly, even with plain old 802.11a/b/g."
Better check the terms of service, my cable company (cableone.net) forbids the sharing of their internet connection.
I recently toured our brand new Wal-Mart Distribution Center. Their are two main types of fork lifts. The big ones stock the racks and the little ones ("hand pulled") pull just enought to fill an order for the individual stores. The little ones wear a computer with only a headset/mic. The computer slects randomly 3 out of the 6 check digits on the shelf for them to read aloud to verify they are in the right place! Captcha in the warehouse!
I've used linux for years at home and M$ at work since 3.11. How can anyone be into Linux and not know about this change in 1995? 10 years ago! The only valid gripes are the bottom rung price. $200 is too steep of a hill for many 3rd world volunteer groups!

With Microsoft you get constantly developed, first-rate tools and new languages
ROFL! While the analyst of Apple is accurate, this evaluation of M$ kills me.

Embrace, extend, extinguish is my evaluation of M$.
