Sure, MS may not be slowing down. But they are letting quality control lapse. They know that whatever they do, nothing bad will happen. 60,000+ bugs in Win2K, and still no one cares.
Of course, I could just say something wittier...Microsoft isn't slowing down, and I'm Bill Gates.
Well, the SourgeForge hack was probably a result of the amount of freedom SourceForge gives its users. I don't know of any free web host which gives its users a shell account, probably partially because it's too much of a security risk (well, that is except for me, but I only give webspace to trusted friends). With the amount of freedom SourceForge gave its users, this was bound to happen.
This is not a suggestion that SourceForge reverse its policies. Instead, I believe that this is a testament to the honesty of open source developers (and the work of SourceForge) that this doesn't happen too often.
Will wireless be available for this? I'm getting a Palm VIIx soon and I am intrigued by the SSH terminal application available for it. I think it would be very...weird...to administer my server from anywhere, without wires, on something that fits in my pocket. Now, although I can do this on the palm, it would be a lot more fun to do it on Linux, considering I have a Linux server.
And, BTW, there's NO WAY I'm going to be administering it with Telnet!
What's next? Outlaw FTP? Maybe sue Microsoft and Apple over the use of file sharing software which could be used to violate copyright? Sue Iomega for making removable disks capable of music piracy?
How far is too far?

What's so unfunctional about Macs? Sure, Mac OS 9.1 may be less stable, but almost all of my PC friends who have used a Mac for long enough don't use PCs anymore.
Anyway, Mac OS X's Cocoa is better than qt, Motif, or GTK! (If you like Objective-C or Java, that is).
Uh...why hasn't this been modded down as innacurate while the rebuttal has? The first sentence talks about patents. Don't mean to flame you or anything, but considering you flamed me, I'd just like to tell you that the flame is innacurate (And I know I spelled that wrong, too).
I'd like to carry around a towel May 25, but I'm not sure that my teachers would understand. Do you think it's okay if I carry around a washcloth in my pocket instead?
Again, it depends on what subject. Many 13 year olds (probably this one who committed suicide) probably know more about how to hack into a server than 26 year olds. I know more about server administration than my father or mother. On some matters, that's different. This mostly applies to general knowledge. I'm aware that I can't see the world from an adult perspective, and never claimed that I could.
As a 13 year old (just turned 13 two days ago) I take offense to that. It depends which 13 year olds you are talking about. Some 13 year olds are more intelligent than adults more than twice their age. Some 13 year olds can be the least mature people on earth.
If you ask me, the school's computers probably weren't secured well.
They made you download the 15MB file if you already had 10.0.2 installed and wanted to download a single update to install on all computers on your network. I think that this was kind of outrageous. They could at least provide two updates, an update for 10.0.2 and an update for 10.0.1 (the one they have up there already requires 10.0.1, not 10.0).
I don't care that much about the endless stream of updates. The reason the third update was released was because of a major bug preventing the display of files in folders with many files in them. I would be angrier if this wasn't corrected that that the correction came only a week after the update. I like the updates, but I think that Apple shouldn't have made people download a 15MB file for 10.0.3.
For college students, most $600 software products are more affordable than for regular people looking to use them. Academic prices helps students/faculty a lot in buying cheap software, even if it's for personal use rather than for use with a class. I can testify that I could not have afforded my copy of Photoshop unless I used the education discount, bringing it down to $200. Although this may not be low, it is a lot cheaper than the $500-$600 retail version.
If you're willing to use the Mac OS or Windows, there's a utility called NetScrawl which is a "collaborative drawing tool". It might or might not work for your purposes. More information at http://www.kingdesign.net/hotlinesw/download/index.shtml
Am I the only person who noticed that QuickTime 5.0.1 includes MPEG1 streaming? Still doesn't take care of it not running on Linux, but no price problems.
You can already have Aqua and Enlightenment on the same machine! Just get install the gnu-darwin distibution on it. To run Aqua and Enlightenment at the same time, get XonX, I forgot the url.

UNIX must include CDE and Motif. If it doesn't, it's not technically UNIX. Mac OS X doesn't have either. Therefore it's not UNIX.
