If I'm not mistaken, microscopes with video cameras attached already exist, so a monitor can be used instead of the eyepiece. Sorry I don't have any links - that's what Google's for.
Why do all the screenshots say "Altos" instead of "Atheos"?

Right. Linus said when he originally started Linux that it would only run in i386. As of 2.3.99pre6, though, there were 11 directories in arch/. I'd say Linux has evolved quite well, and it should be possible for this OS to do the same.
Don't forget the fact that X also goes through a network layer, so the program and the display can be on entirely different computers (even different OSes). So, you could RUN Quake on a computer with no video card and make it DISPLAY on a computer with a GeForce. However, I doubt that even Gigabit ethernet is as fast as the loopback interface, so performace would be "less than optimal", to say the least.
I've NEVER lost any information in word, excel or access.
Well, you're rather lucky. I've used Office more than I wish I had and it's lost a few of my docs now and then, even on NT. Not a lot, but enough to really annoy me. With the chancyness Office and Windows combined, it's not surprising that people save their docs every minute out of fear that one of the two will have some strange error.
You can have it both ways. Since the GUI, X, is not tied into the kernel, it's possible to have a system with or without it. Want a stable server? No X. Like to live dangerously on the desktop? Throw it on! Seroiusly, when the GUI stuff isn't mixed into the kernel (which is starting to change somewhat with accellerated video drivers, such as NVidia's - but even that's a module), Linux users can have their cake and eat it too.
while most of the internet is powered by web servers running linux
Most of the internet powered by Linux? Let me point out that "most" means more than 50%. Significantly more. Somehow, I doubt that's true just yet. It's not that I don't support Linux, I'm just more concerned about maintaining truth.

On Mine: P200 desktop, 15" Trinintron monitor, Umax scanner, dual wheel mouse, LOTS of cds and stacks of floppies (mostly 3.5", but a stack of 5.25" waiting to go in the trash as well) Floppy drive and spare HD for my laptop. A bag of PC Card NICs and dongles. Rio PMP300. Learning Perl and Perl Cookbook are close by, of course. Empty Jolt bottle.
Underneath: Peavey guitar amp (Gibson Epiphone nearby). Unopened Intel 287XL package. Too many magazines.
Wouldn't Napster do - something of the like, to defeat bot searches? For Instance - require that a specific always changing login that is displayed at several different locations on the screen be entered for the Bot to search - that would at the very least require a human there to punch in the login, which should make the popularity of programs like this go down alot.
Please allow me to enlighten you. The Napster program is a program that connects to a remote server over a network. Therefor, the NetPD people most certainly wrote their own program to connect to the Napster server and do searches automatically. Your comment suggests that their program somehow works with a regular Napster client, which is surely not true. If Napster changed the protocol to require re-authentication occasionally, the only human intervention required would be to modify their program. No one would need to manually type stuff in constantly.
I agree that it would be great if laptops used standard parts as the savings would be immense. Of course, manufacturers are unlikely to do this because then they won't be able to sell you their expensive, proprietary uprgrades and replacements.

If Linus had believed in that, Linux wouldn't even exist.

You shouldn't have to live in such fear of data loss, should you?<p>
And about the power outage example - what's your point? An outside force (say, HW failure) will bring down any PC, regardless of OS.

I wonder how much slashdot.com cost Andover? Until recently, it was owned by an invidual who kept a small page there with a link to the actual /.
You could have just gone to yellowdoglinux.com and linuxppc.com and checked for yourself. It's really not that difficult.
Good observation! It's must be fake.
<i>I wonder if, with MacOS X's dock, will it be possible to write applications to provide the same level of feedback as a Linux' docking app?</i><p>
A Mac user wants Mac OS to have functionality as good as Linux? I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. How the times are changing..
Check it out. It may be what you need.

Why not just do it the same way as GSM - an "identity" card for each user that works in any phone?

Hadn't heard that one before. I usually just call this wonderful Kennedy spawning ground Taxachusetts.
is the IBM Trackpoint II. A desktop keyboard with the Trackpoint control built in. (Bet you've never seen one of those anywhere except on a laptop!)
Let me guess, it came off a PS/2, right? That stuff just lasts forever. I have an IBM Model M keyboard from 1987 that's still in perfect condition.
