Yes it is.
People don't get the warm fuzzies from being different from all of their Windows friends, when their Windows friends start moving over to Linux. It makes it harder for people to feel superior.
But it's ok, those who are only using Linux because it's "different" will eventually move on to something else as Linux becomes more popular in the mainstream.
I agree, it seems that lots of the flack Redhat is getting from Linux users has to do with the fact that it is becoming popular, Redhat really can't "be the next Microsoft", since what are they selling but support? The user base for Redhat is growing, and I think that people who moved to Linux to be different/elite are feeling a little crowded now. It seems that every Redhat article on Slashdot lately is full of comments like "Redhat is the next MS, look they have stock, they have money, I'm switching to Debian." Use a distro you enjoy using and that serves your purposes. So far it just seems that Redhat has done plenty for the community and very little against. Of course, when they do something for the community, then everyone says they should have done more. Heh, ya can't win.
The problem isn't about whether AMD can continue to crank out the processors, it's whether, when the time comes, there will be a motherboard to plug it into. If Intel manages to scare motherboard manufacturers away from making Athlon boards, then even if a.18 1Ghz Athlon came out tomorrow, what good is it w/o a motherboard?
That's like that Tick episode where Chairface Chippendale starts to write on the moon and only half succeeds, what was cool was that in each following show, whenever the moon was in the shot, that writing was still there.
I don't know, it sounds more like Goth profiling to me, if you want to put a label on it. I doubt they are going to place someone in counseling for writing a kernel device driver at home. Geeks are sometimes outcasts, true, but not all outcasts are geeks. Just because someone plays Doom or Quake doesn't categorize them as a geek. When did wearing black trenchcoats and all black in general start becoming a geek fashion statement?
I understand that Katz wants to appeal to the slashdot crowd and make the story seem to apply to them, but it just seems that he is making a big stretch to call this "Geek profiling". I am afraid it is the Goth community that will end up getting the worst treatment from software like this, not geeks. It is still, in my opinion a bad thing to do, and will probably end up backlashing and causing more problems, but I doubt most geeks in school will see the effects of it, unless they are goth.
Gee, who woulda thought wearing black would put you in counseling.
Yeah, I'm glad they turned around, I ended up returning an ATI card a few months ago because I found out that it wasn't supported at all under linux. Of course an X server is out for it now, but I'm still happy with my TNT.
Typically earthquakes in one region have ramifications in other regions along fault lines. It takes awhile for the everything to settle back down again, and in the meantime, you will see earthquakes in the appropriate areas.

The default 3.3.5 w/ RH6.1 won't work because it doesn't have the GLX drivers.

I've had only little problems running quake2 with ref_glx on my TNT. Just had to get the N vidia drivers, and make sure I was using their X server that had their implimentation of glx.
You basically replace your X-SVGA with theirs and statically link X to it instead.
Then you replace your libMesa.so and link them to the libGL.so.1.0 that Nvidia provides.
Then ya run quake2 on the command line like this:
./quake2 +set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver [PATH FOR LIBRARY]/libGL.so.1.0
That will open up quake in a window on your machine. It's not the stablest thing (resizing the window when your mouse is captured messes things up) but I've been able to play with few problems.
You should be able to toy around and do what you want with mulinux, a floppy linux distribution, a second floppy adds X with chimera (a small graphical browser) plus tons of other tools, plus you can open it up and configure it to your heart's content.
but a lot of times I don't want the latest beta release of every package, I would rather have a stable release in a lot of cases. I do appreciate a lot of things about Mandrake though, such as pentium optimized rpms and a couple of other design decisions. Heh, maybe they are just too bleeding edge for me, but then again, I don't play with development kernels either, so I guess I don't count:).
I just wish I could find _any_ mirror with a restore function, it's a pain to download half of an image and have it disconnect in the middle, and then have to start from scratch
I'm guessing there will be a panel with a foot in the corner on the bottom of the screen. It will look just like any other gnome screenshot you've seen.
Not really just a Christian merchandising idea

The only thing that sickens me about "Christianized" merchandise is the excessive price tag. Testamints modelling after Velamints, or whatever else is done, could fall under satire or parody if you wanted to think of it that way, or as a lack of originality or "cashing in" if you wanted to think of it another way. To me at least, it's not much different than all the "alternative" T-shirts where they replace a puma logo with "pimp" or anything else you might find at Hot Topic. Heck, skateboard merchandise has been doing the same thing for years. I guess someone could argue the same thing about the linux icthus for the back of your car. Fact is, if an idea sells, you will have people following up trying to cash in, and people who just want to parody it. To say that this is something only Christian companies do is a bit off.
The article says that you enter data through voice commands. Apparently you can also plug a keyboard in, for times when you are sitting down I guess, the same times that you would want to plug in an external monitor (which the IBM device supports). Hopefully you will also be able to use a twiddler with one of these too, which would make it much better for entering information, there are enough people walking on the street talking to themselves as it is.
I had a similar problem with RH6.0 when I put a new motherboard in that didn't like APM to turn off the computer after a halt, it would spout some errors on the screen. When I booted back up, sure enough, the clock was exactly 12 hrs ahead. I just ended up disabling APM power off on halt in the kernel and recompiling. No problems since.
I fail to see why people think that it is impossible for someone to have both intelligence and "common sense" (wisdom). It is kind of silly to say that when you learn something new, that a bit of common sense just leaked out of the other ear to make room for it.
It's interesting because many advertisements have similar sex, violence, adult situations that parents would want to have blocked from their children, so blocking ads could be a valid feature. Similar to the way movies show the "rating" for a trailer before the trailer is shown.

Of course this is better in a university setting, but a friend of mine uses Polish mathematicians as his server naming scheme.

Personally I use characters from _Animal_Farm_.
