Who started this crappy accent ``quoting," anyway? Bugs the hell out of me, although I don't know why exactly.

Hey, take it easy. Just because you are not capable of it does not mean it's not possible.
True, it takes up to an hour of upfront tweaking, but it is well worth it, and not difficult at all.

Yes, but my post was a bit different. I wasn't simply parroting the grandparent. What I was suggesting is he's not far from the mark.
My additions are simply install behind a nat, automatic patches, firefox/thunderbird, disable IE, extra services turned off, etc. Then bring out from the nat.
And yes, it IS possible, I've been bug free for 15 years. I keep a copy of symantec av around, but never running, and update and scan once a year for kicks. Nothing ever found.
AV and spyware scanners, running all the time, are for people too busy or not knowledgeable enough to secure their box, or perhaps the paranoid.

Not if you know how to set it up properly. It's easy, just a lot of work up front. The extra performance is worth it though.
I use gnome-term and gentoo, and when I'm compiling, switching tabs to an unactive terminal tab cuts the system fraction of cpu usage from about 12% to close to 0%.
Yes, if the IT dept is so difficult, start your own with your own machines and staff. Keep it discreet, obviously. Get your work done, and don't go shooting your mouth off about it.

yeah but the bad part of MDI, losing your windows, doesn't exist with tabs.
People seem to love the search box, but it is the first thing I get rid of. Bookmark keywords are much better.
Just type in the location bar (for example):
g subject (google)
w subject (wikipedia)
d word (dictionary.com)
etc.

that was improved in win2k, I think.
From what I gathered, 2.12 took a long time because there were big bugs in hal/dbus etc. Hopefully 2.14 won't have these same growing pains.
I'm not sure that's true.

I had assumed that was gterm not drawing anymore.
I play Warcraft III on my 3 year old intel 800 graphics laptop just fine. Is WOW that much more advanced?
IC .... my laptop has a 1280x768 widescreen, same as the most common hdtv. Sony TR2A
Warcraft 3 works fine on my Sony ... (pentiumM 1Ghz, intel 855 graphics machine).
Is WOW that much more demanding? Shouldn't a 950 and 500 more mhz improve it?
You're stretching here. Joe Sixpack does not want complicated electronics.
In fact I own a nice almost featureless cell phone made by Kyocera. They do exist and have no need for antivirus "solutions."
If I ever feel I want more, I'd rather have a PSP.
He might be refering to the TPM module on the new intel macs ... dunno.

Triple X dot net, huh? I was expecting some hot girl on girl action, but it was just a boring software tutorial.
do it yourself.

Spend less time reading Slashdot and more time reading, oh I dunno, a science book not published in Kansas

This is a defeatist argument. The change over will be slow, it will be difficult, but it is coming whether anyone likes it or not.
Why not try to help it along? The national security reasons ought to be enough in themselves.
More like ~150 a year in the US boxoffice. Don't forget the rest of the world, merchandise, and even some pocket-change from renderman.
... those things are worth a premium in this mediocre world.
Plus theyve got brand, momentum, and real talent
Will take about 30 seconds to install elilo and then boot a kernel. done
I agree ... everything I learned when I was a kid was wrong.
I think they should start using the 'Sextium.' ;)
... it's damn sexy.
