I know it's an enternaining program, I've never said anything else. But even an entertaining program does not have to be that stupid.
As opposed to the brilliant programming on American television: Jackass, the Tom Green Show, Friends (Jimmy loves Rachel this week, what will happen?), anything on the WB, etc. etc. etc.
Not to say their aren't good American television programs (The Sopranos, for example). Just not many. For entertainment, it's lousy. For culinary instruction, it's lousy.
Entertainment is a matter of taste. Lots of people like Friends; I don't. That doesn't make it lousy, that makes me change the channel.
And the show is not intended to be culinary instruction. They don't tell you how to make the recipies they prepare, nor would it matter if they did. I don't happen to have live squid in my fridge right now.
From the article: These are three key Linux trends to watch for in 2001: a static growth rate,...
As opposed to windoze "upgrades" every year or two, requiring the consumer to pay for them to keep up-to-date. I think here Herr Miller is confusing "static" with "stable".
...lessening mainstream interest in the open source operating system,...
I seem to recall an article about an automakers plans to have Linux as the OS for the computers in their "next-generation" cars. Hmm...
and a sharp decline in Linux-based companies' stock value,...
Not like every other computer companies stocks, which have been soaring like the Challenger.
... said Doug Miller, Microsoft's group product manager for competitive strategies. Competitive strategies?!?! Sounds like this entire article was Mikro$oft Propaganda convieniently shown to the world by Wired.
In addition to outlawing any exclusive national claims to extraterrestrial regions...
What about corporate claims? Mikro$oft hasn't signed the Outer Space Treaty. If they merge with AOL-Time-Warner the beast-with-four-heads might have the cash to pull off Martian Condos.
And if Disney got in the mix... the terror never ends.

All I have to say is MORIMOTO NO BANZAI!!!
Since when did anything Mikro$oft make have any bugs or faults? After all, wouldn't you trust your life to Windows?
Astronauts should be smart people, right? And certain, much more stable OSes exist... say Unix, or Linux... So why not train Astronauts to use them?
PS: I'd like to read the article, but I can't right now. *sigh* Slashdot effect...
