The X-10 super remote coupled with one of the boxes that has a two way serial interface, you can set up one of several linux boxes to watch line activity and trap certain unit codes and act upon them. For instance, I have my machine set up to trap house code A for actual modules, and house code B has no actual physical modules, it watches for house code B unit 1 commands for forward/reverse and unit 2 for stop and play on mpg123. House code B unit 8 is trapped also, sending 3 unit 8 offs in a row makes the machine reboot. Pretty spiffy.:P
Linux does not provide support for the broad range of hardware in use today; Windows NT 4.0 currently supports over 39,000 systems and devices on the Hardware Compatibility List. Linux does not support important ease-of-use technologies such as Plug and Play, USB, and Power Management.
Question: So, uh, where would we find this functionality in Windows NT?
Answer: You don't.
This smacks of the Microsoft FUD about Sun machines wherein Microsoft had a good laugh about the fact that you actually have to TELL the operating system that you are removing a backplane to let the machine prepare for it, all the while not bothering to mention that you can't do that on Windows NT period.
"Longer keys, such as 1,024-bit, are already employed for many sensitive communications. But, out of intelligence and other concerns, the U.S. government requires special permission to export software with the longer keys."
muahahaha 'Out of intelligence and other concerns'

Okay, suppose the principal (or anyone else) HAD done something to Bubba jock.. What would he have done? He'd go home, get Uncle Jed's deer rifle, go back to school, waste another 15 people, and then eat his gun. The problem here is that when you DO take action against the tormenters, they often retaliate violently and there are very few (legal) ways to stop them. 'Course, theres always backwoods justice, but thats a far cry from a good solution.

It is interesting to note that afaik, CNN runs their stuff on Sun boxes.
this just goes to show you how hyperreactive the linux crowd is. embarassing to us all, really.
Didn't we just see this story?
to hell with html formatting ;)

This is both scary and hilarious, especially if you understand the '15 years behind' reference.
