But unfortunately there's no alternative for Netscape in Linux (I still don't consider Mozilla mature enough) and therefore the whole thing gets a lot less nice; Windows+MSIE crashes less often than Linux+Netscape. To me as an end-user that's what matters, not which part is the guilty part (I am not saying that that is not what you're saying:)).
Coincidentally yesterday I asked on my irc-# what would be the single most important reason to use windows instead of linux and 4 people immediately answered NETSCAPE )#@*&#*&%
Still using Linux by the way...and typing this in Netscape.
Maybe a wind-up laptop would be a bit far away, but I think a wind-up cdrom-drive in a laptop would be very neat; spinning up the cdrom-drive eats a lot of energy which you can all save this way. For ppl that only use cdroms occasionally this would be usefull, i think. The same goes for discmans (cd don't spin as fast in them), walkmans etc.
This uncertainty is largely caused by the fact that there isn't a central administration database in Holland This is not true; the list is incomplete because in that specific neighbourhood a lot of unregistered people lived; foreigners and students sometimes fail to tell the government they moved; therefore all that is known is often only a name. Espicially since a lot of them don't speak Dutch very well, names are easily misspelled. This has nothing to do with some central administration database since many people wouldn't even be in such database.
1) Now already many people put their home-made movies online and they usually are a lot better (not their quality, but their content) than MPAA-movies. I think in the near future the movie-industry will become irrelevant.
I think PDA's can in the future fully replace PC's; once glasses which directly project a very sharp image into your eye will reach the same quality as normal monitors, they can fully replace monitors. I don't think they will, but they can. Some time ago there was an article on/. about tiny chips that could be glued to ones nails; they track the motion of your finger and you can then use anything as a keyboard, so the input-device-is-too-tiny problem can also be solved.
Why do I say that? That's not true:) I must have been drunk or so...But I consider the sueing to be a governmental problem; people just shouldn't be allowed to sue eachother for just about everything.
Hmm it matters how you'd interpret `confused'. Probably you're right. I still consider it a pretty good movie in the way that they managed to show us something about deep human emotions in a way that hasn't been done very often.
I really doubt Rmasey made this thing with the intent (or even the inkling) that it would be used for illegal purposes.
Does that actually matter? Does it matter wether they offer materials which can be used to commit crimes? Isn't that some sort of basic freedom? all they do is selling stuff and no crime is committed until someone uses that stuff to trespass somebody else's privacy. I don't think selling whatever should be considered illegal unless the sold materials cannot be used in any other than a harmfull way (like hard drugs (except for alcohol offcourse:P)).
Mozilla is still beta. I think that's a rather good excuse for those bugs. I also think it will take some time before it is really stable, so Intel will have to wait some time before they can release their device.

Because it is an open protocol, cheating happens. Just like in Quake. But everybody with some brains in his head can separate the not-so-accurate-ones from the others. By the way...cheaters are usually no longer than about one hour in the list; by then the admin has disabled their account. Offcourse the statistics only make sense for OS's of which a lot have been registered so think of it what you like. For people that consider uptimes interesting, it is there. If you don't...well don't look.
I do eat them. I usually take some fried tulips with mayonaise first, then I have some space-cake (with curry-ketchup and some pieces of tomato) followed by champignon-tea with LOTS of sugar (tastes REALLY fucked up) and then I have a nice Northern Lights/V42-joint and some Jagermeister.
Now you probably know the origin of my nick...

I disagree with you; my experience is that I only need to reboot if something goes terribly wrong or if I want to upgrade a `core' part of the system. Therefore one can say that operating systems with an average downtime that is rather low either are upgraded a lot, or crash a lot. I think the latter has the greatest influence still.
Off course not all systems run under the same conditions; windows computers are probably more often turned off at night than VMS systems, SunOS is usually used on high-end hardware while Linux often runs on crappy hardware and OpenBSD-systems probably have better admins than Linux-systems (no offense, but most unix-newbies tend to use Linux, not *BSD). But still I dare say that the uptime is a real good measurement for the stability of an operating system.
Apart from that I agree with the fact that one should not fail to upgrade because one wants to get the highest uptime possible. On the other hand, people shouldn't upgrade when there's no need to; if there are no new features/fixes in the new kernel which apply to your system, don't upgrade:)
Check http://www.uptimes.net for a list of uptimes per OS. There are about 500 hosts in the list, so it ought to give a rather clear view of the situation.
It's offtopic...but doesn't the fact that you were confused mean that it was a good movie? I was quite impressed by the fact that this movie could really scare me with such a simple story and such simple techniques. I also think they did a real good acting job. Remember the girl talking to her mother while she was crying and believed that she was going to die? That was *GOOD* (in my opinion).

Flamebait: Windows doesn't have a root prompt 24/7/365. It's more like 23/7/365.
I did not know about this link and consider this information usefull enough to be rated this high.
The same can probably be said about the famous 63k-bug-list MS had for W2K.

No you missed nothing; it was there before the houses. The factory was scheduled to be moved in a year or so...
Realise the truth; there is no deadline.

Although it's really neat, it's nothing new. For what I know the InterJet I has always been running FreeBSD. I guess this is just a new version.
You don't have too...but I'm pretty sure you will >:

Btw, shouldn't your url be http://127.0.0.1 ? :)

ok...but a pretty good alpha then. There are numerous software corps that would consider an application like Mozilla M12 near-shipping-ready :)

It has already been patented by those brothers that filmed The Matrix. At least that's what they told me in TheMakingOfTheMatrix on TV.
