Agreed, user problem

so "the rest of the world" believes that it is ok for one group (the Sunnis) to torture, humiliate and sometimes kill other groups (Kurds and Shiites). I assume (making an ass out of me-self) that it is OK then in the rest of the world to make other groups with which you don't agree to do your bidding; that you may go out on the street, pick someone you do not like, and force march them to your house to cook, clean, and entertain you.
Previous comments that we should ask military people in Iraq what they think, then turn around and say that they cant be trusted is disingenuous Either you trust these people or you do not trust them, ; think they are smart or think they are dumb. please do not play both sides of the fence.:( Most comments I see are conspiracy based, "while the solders are smart IF they only knew the whole TRUTH(TM) then they would not fight; we must bring them the TRUTH(TM)." What if the TRUTH(TM) was that those opposed to the war and had friends they visited in other parts of the world were the ones being duped. What if their friends were on the privileged enough side to THINK(TM) that their leaders are doing the RIGHT THING(TM)? There is a huge gray area in the middle. Instead go help the other parts of the world on a person to person basis...not just donating money to some other charity that says they will help. How can you make sure how your money is used? Will these groups open their accounting to you? Will there be audits to verify the accounting is truthful? The only thing for sure is for US citizens spending Tax $$ for Iraq and Afghanistan. Those $$ should be transparently spent (sometimes on Haliburton, sometimes on power plants and power distribution.)
Next, previous comments that we should ask an Iraqi: In person I have asked a military person who had been stationed in Iraq, who has degrees in history and business; and trained in civil affairs, what Iraqis think. His response: they (the Kurds and Shiites) want the US to do to Iraq what the US did to Germany and Japan after WW2. They want to stop having one group/government be able to (very forcibly) tell them what to do and start being able to have an economy that allows people to goto a job for a decent/fair wage to support their FAMILY.
1 - There is definitely educational software. 2 - It is *nix based...so you won't be over every day. 3 - Price can be mitigated by seeking out an educational grant/donation that allows for Mac and combining that with the TCO discussed in the 'MAH' series:
Due to a combination of factors, the question may otherwise become moot. Just go microsoft.:(
1- non techie parents wanting their kids to learn computers 'like the rest of the world' in fear of their kids 'keeping up with whats out there' [microsoft]
2- being able to submit educational technology grants to numerous foundations/institutions, [well meaning institutions don't normally care which tech solution is used but are more familiar with microsoft on the desktop/have business relationships with microsoft]
3 - generous donations from school benefactors [well meaning, but implement what everyone else is using'... Microsoft]
IMHO, Microsoft will be a non-thinking solution that will be implemented in similar circumstances.
In the primary/secondary school scene, I assume that sheer number of Microsoft 'knowledgeable' people/volunteers outnumber the *nix knowledgeable people. Due to this, a Linux solution could be implemented, but as soon as the linux person steps down/gets too busy/leaves, there is a better chance of only having a non-linux volunteer to step in and implement an easier solution (aka - with what they are more familiar). This would be more prevalent in less populated regions. (big fish/little pond)
I have seen a small parochial school in the middle of a farming community go microsoft because the retired data processing person who supports the computer lab and network now only knows one thing. It is bad enough to the point that the mention of Macs made his kid who attends the school think that Macs would make said parent loose the IT job due to not being a Mac person. I assume that the parent made comments about work around home (I know my Mom and Dad did when I was growing up.):)
I have seen a parochial school in a city of about 1 million choose microsoft due to a grant/donation plus not easily finding companies/people to pay who know linux. The lab cannot wait for someone to finish work before heading over to look at the problem. Schools now have computer class scheduled as part of the daily curriculum.
I plan on helping schools more when my kids are out of day care, but for now I work second shift and my wife first shift so we can support our family.
Maybe I can start my own linux support for schools company. I would only have to work

Dan's closure of the response to his first patent (ie - -Patents are a good defensive strategy for any company. -We get sued all the time. Witness the current Eolas lawsuit. -I think there are a lot of things that are lame about the patent system.)
sounds like he is mouthing the opinions of some 'mentor' he has at microsoft

-wouldn't it be better if we changed this aspect of the movie to make it appeal to more people
-more people people means more money for everyone while the audience all enjoys a great movie
IMAO - in order to be a good sysadmin you have to be activley 'in the situation', you have to practice. Since you have not been to Iraq and been in that 'situation' (and the poster has) I believe him more than I believe you (and the rest of the news agencies reporting from the sunni triange:)
Combine that with the fact that the Windows (NT/XP) kernel already supports multiple architectures, win32, posix and os/2 are the 3 common ones. I'm willing to bet that.net will show up in the kernel in the next version of Windows.
I'll bet you won't be able to see the kernel code to make sure the addition happens.:)
There are no individual inventors tinkering in their garages without corporate sponsorship anymore, except maybe Dean Kamen
