Google desktop search hasn't changed appreciably since it was released.
As a matter of fact, GDS has had a new release which has:
PDF file support
Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird support
Images and Video support
A plugin based architecture, with plugins for intranet, specific sites-only search, TIFF/ZIP/CHM file searches, C/C++ source code search and even search mIRC archives.
OpenBSD does not install wu-ftpd. Instead, they have their own ftpd, called ftpd-BSD (which has been ported to Linux as well, look it up on rpmfind or something). It is wu-ftpd that has a reputation of being buggy.
If you sign up for Spymac mail or Rediffmail you don't have the backing of a major corporation that has an infrastructure in place to support future growth, investors looking for the company to *not* fold, and a dedicated staff just for your data.
I have absolutely no idea on this Spymac, but Rediff has been around for quite long now (6-8 years I think). Slashdot has linked to Rediff many times in the past - it is an Indian news and e-Commerce site. Rediff is traded on NASDAQ (not that its current stock price is anything to write home about), and is backed by a bigger media company conglomorate, Rediffusion.
On the other hand, I think most Windows users do know what a kernel is - it is that thing which takes 32 of those silly dlls and leaves just a blue screen for you, making you restart your computer...
Indian Railways computerised its ticketing way back in the 1980's I think. I am not sure which train station in Bangalore you saw, but the main one (Bangalore City Junction) has a huge reservation complex with hundreds of computers. Couple of years back the train ticketing system went online, so now you can book your ticket from the privacy of your home as well. Soon IRCTC is launching a scheme by which you can book your ticket via SMS as well.
You should remember that trains are still the most economic way of getting around in India, and hence given a billion people, some rush is to be expected. Most Indians plan their travel well in advance to book confirmed tickets by train. A train journey from Bangalore to Bombay will take you 24 hours, and with US$ 50, you can buy a nice seat/berth in an air-conditioned coach.
ipcs is not what you think it is. ipcs is the controlling program for various IPC services in Unix.
What you probably meant is IBCS (Intel Binary Compatibility Standard). This is a kernel module that allows SCO binaries (among others) to run on your Linux system.
RT - http://www.bestpractical.com/rt is by far, the most feature rich free software helpdesk management system I have come across. It has Web, Email and Command Line interfaces, provides audit trails, database backends (PG/Mysql), great extensibility and reporting. We deployed 2.0.15 about a year ago - now even our admin department ("The coffee vending machine is bust!") and developers (discarding bugzilla) are using it with great success.

Who uses hotmail anyway?
cool females?
and flushed $120 down the toilet
Only if the $120 is in quarters. Not otherwise. Not even close.
I double-checked this post using Word's grammar checker. I dare you find fault with it!
I dare you to find fault with it.
As a matter of fact, GDS has had a new release which has:
Does that mean 5% of your net revenues will go to Microsoft as royalties, even if you have a silly little W2k3 server sitting the corner?
There is a follwup as well: "Never ascribe to incompetence that which is adequately explained by Microsoft Funding" - Anonymous.
OpenBSD does not install wu-ftpd. Instead, they have their own ftpd, called ftpd-BSD (which has been ported to Linux as well, look it up on rpmfind or something). It is wu-ftpd that has a reputation of being buggy.
What if the two parties are behind NAT-gateways?
A lot of people I know swear by Pegasus Mail.
You know, you might be right. I was looking at this school website; their fees seems to be only about $12000/year.
Does one have to pay royalty if all one plays are the works of Mozart, Beethoven and the like?
I fully agree with your choices. But everyone seems to have forgotten that wonderful usenet client, slrn.
How does 'Konqueror' relate to 'browsing the web'?
:-)
Well, the story I have is that first came the Navigator, then the Explorer, and finally the Conqueror.

Are there any linux-run hospitals?
The Breach Candy Hospital in Bombay, India runs on Redhat Linux, according to this page on Redhat India's website.
