"I still don't understand Mono. It didn't work for IBM to has OS/2 work for Windows programs, so why Mono?"
this is completely different from os/2
let's say that happens: if you can write for windows and make it work for both, then everyone writes just for windows, so then why not just get windows?
because Open Source = Free - if you can run the same apps and save $100 or more with Mono instead of MS.NET, you're gonna choose to save the $100, it's os/2's windows compat. prob. in reverse

Problem: users will not wait a minute to click a button to continue using a website. the word dumbass comes to mind for the creators of this and any sponsors.
Removing flexibility for better bandwidth = too many people pissed off! Open Source software supports niche users, and no one is ever going to be able to get around that fact.
Speed is fine IMHO. Maybe (don't know, don't care - I've spent too many hours customizing kde's look&feel settings) X is slower than the Windows GUI, but other factors (gcc + better OS) apparently make up for it, because I find LGX to run faster - of course, that's just my experience.
I don't see why "widget tunnelling" instead of X tunnelling can't do the same thing picoGUI does as far as bandwidth is concerned. So someone figures out how to tunneling Qt and gtk in addition to just basic X info and magically, X defeats bandwidth consumption by taking its "flaw" dependency on toolkits and turning it into the solution.
Sure, speed probably won't get a boost - but on my 128mb RAM P3-733, speed is fine, and an unnoticeable increase in speed is not worth the loss of the personality we can add to our interfaces on X today.
great, now if i line up my computer with an ir beam "up to 3 miles away" i can get broadband
i remember when i got my ipaq a few months ago. after a couple minutues of aiming, i could transfer files from pda to pda, without the hassle of the whole 15 seconds it would have taken wireplusly connect the devices. fun.
yeah, microsoft is going to support a company associated with the creator of linux...
ftp: insecure and simple, just like email

ftp may be insecure but so is email. also, email goes across so many channels that it's more likely to be intercepted.
i am a happy linux user, but... as your users most likely demand windows (or at least use it at home) turn off "web-based ftp" in internet explorer and your users will be very happy; the only difference from normal usage is that they'll have to right-click and press "copy to folder" because copy-paste doesn't work right.
i loved watching the robots fight, people losing thousands upon thousands of dollars as sparks flew up and metal launched across the "battlebox"
but the commentary gets worse and worse. the last episode i saw, they nearly had carmen electra perform soft-core porn.
i'm sure they did focus groups. but people in focus groups are going to see fire and say good and see the crap they aired and say good, just for the joke of it. there are some things that if you show them, even if they suck, people in certain age groups (even if they honestly don't like it) jokingly cheer.
to recap: from an hour of deadly fighting... to... 30 minutes of [you know what]
give me back my chainsaws and my mental patients!!!
and for god sakes, stop interviewing gary coldman!!!
then i'll watch again.

"17. namezero.com: On 29 July 2002, we notified you that VeriSign Registrar's Whois data for namezero.com (a domain sponsored in the registry by VeriSign Registrar) was inaccurate. The phone number is listed as "111-111-1111".) We asked you to investigate and correct this inaccurate information pursuant to RAA 3.7.8. It has been over thirty days and the data still has not been corrected."
something's wrong when a company that actually registers domain names uses bs whois data.
the issue isn't incorrect whois data. if i register a domain and provide fake data who cares. but if i use it for email or something related to business, and the data's bogus, i've broken laws written a long time before we had dns.
how hard is it to type sucks?

"In Brandt's ideal world, if you searched for "United Airlines," you would see untied.com -- a site critical of United -- before you see United's page. And if you searched for Rumsfeld, you'd see NameBase's dossier on him before the Defense Department's site on the "The Honorable Donald Rumsfeld.""
untied.com is the first search result if you type "hate united airlines"
if you want negative press, use negative language and google gives you negative-minded search results.
google works the way he wants except he's too lazy to type 4 more letters.

"For those who are interested, the CEO in question decided to simply report the incident to the FBI."
probably because he saw a lawyer and the lawyer asked him for some sort of actual evidence to use in the case
IANAL, you do not need a lawyer because he's got nothing. FROM field? so e-mail the judge with the judge in the from field. case dismissed.
somehow i doubt open source software is going to inform the cpu i'm playing music.
let windows users rot in their self-made hell.
the only problem i have is it'll probably add a few bucks to the price of the chip
