Ok, so this is scored as +Funny, but it raises a serious point. Many people are quite elitist about their Linux/BSD operating systems and how they're so secure. The point is, people *will* eventually target these systems. At the moment, Linux is an easy target, with the lacking of proactive virus protection. Anyone with half an ounce of C skillz could make one, just think about that...
And don't give me that bull about permissions either, a virus will quite happily run under your current user and corrupt your home directory. You wont be so elitist then, will ya?
Everything you have said is right. It plays more like UT than Quake 3, but is wow, it is definately on par with both in terms of graphics. Ok, so we're about 2 years behind in graphics at the moment. BUT! Its a very good start.
I had to chmod the executables (the download is a zip), but once running them, everything seemed to have that polish you'd come to expect from a professional game.
Two minor screwy issues though: @ The scrollbar on the input controls is backward. Scrolling the mouse up makes the scroll "bar" go down and vice-versa. Secondly, it doesn't look like a scroll bar, and the colours are inverted. @ Pressing to turn off the advanced lighting (which my g/card can't handle) should have an "Apply" or "Back to game" button on the bottom of the screen.
Lets elaborate. On each receipt, there could be a passcode. For any unauthenticated traffic, all traffic gets diverted to a advert. With current deals, special offers, "buy here" and the rest of that fudge.
Leechers only get that screen. Legit users can click "access net", type in their passcode and a database links their MAC address (or something more secure) with their timed access.
All this means for me is that I can avoid doing too much damage to the hosting servers, which can only be a good thing for underfunded open source projects and the like.
So how do you expect to authenticate the linuxkernel2-6-12.tar.bz.torrent you come across then ?
@ Both Linux and Windows can be easily configured to auto-update patches. @ Windows patches are smaller (binary diffs as opposed to full updated packages). @ However, there are more critical updates to Windows. @ Windows has SUS, whereas Linux doesn't seem (excuse me if I'm wrong) to have any kind of distributed patch management for large businesses.
If bandwidth costs (it does), it could well be that Windows easily has less data to transfer for large organisations.
If we're talking about uptime then yes, Linux will be more "cheaper" (better uptime, minimal loss of business) in this respect.
Its stupid. I'm all for diversity, but all we hear about is "XYZ Linux has been released. It is based on ABC, which is in turn based on foobarfish." Its absolute crap. I'm sorry, but It's got to the point where the diversity is leading to a smattering of good developers being on each distribution, rather than have 5 or 6 *really good* distributions, with a load of awesome developers helping it get better.
Because it costs money. I would imagine this HP offer is more of a "feeler", so if they do notice a significant percentage of people going for the Ubuntu option, then they may have that incentive to offer a pre-installed version for a bit extra.
It is more likely that there is some inherant cache leakage from Logical CPU 0 to Logical CPU 1. Therefore, a process running on CPU 1 could continuously snoop data that CPU 0 is read/writing as its doing its calculations. e.g. In-between an operation at a FPU, being stored in the cache ready to be processed in a different unit.

Expect managers and lawyers to play fair, and you're a fool.
It's all about exposure. For exam, a person living in eastern Tibet may not know of cars, because they do not exist in "their world". A small bit of education, and this belief is countered.
For example, look at all these people who say they've installed Linux on their mothers/grandparents/dogs PC, and it works fine. They clearly now know about Linux where they would have never heard of it before.
Cool! This will be useful for the majority of Linux desktops, because it means it could be installed as part of a default install, rather than having to download it and install it afterwards (==hell for lots of users).

Well, lets look at the facts:
@ Both Linux and Windows can be easily configured to auto-update patches.
@ Windows patches are smaller (binary diffs as opposed to full updated packages).
@ However, there are more critical updates to Windows.
@ Windows has SUS, whereas Linux doesn't seem (excuse me if I'm wrong) to have any kind of distributed patch management for large businesses.
If bandwidth costs (it does), it could well be that Windows easily has less data to transfer for large organisations.

Sort it out!
http://www.bugzilla.org/ may work for you, depending on the complexity and requirements of features you need.

Why not send a video in?
Wouldn't that be a terrorism search engine?
But will it increase at the rate it increased before the decrease in the rate of growth?

But, on the flip side, it does show a lack of a security auditing process. This will be needed inevitably...

Thus giving way to a new breed of cached goatse trolling!
