If you're talking about LCD terminals, IBM was really the first with their NetVista series. While it may have been lacking in power, it's simply ignorant to call Apple pioneers in that area.
how linux users point at BSD for being so splintered, when they're really the more organized, concentrated bunch. Not advocating so much as observing. This article brings a great deal of overlooked (perhaps intentionally) details to the forefront.
Unless you are being sarcastic, which I'm assuming you are, you are gravely mistaken. Fiber optics were slow to be adopted because of how easily they could be tapped.
So there.
that this doesn't get as over-hyped as the last one. While many people think that it was every bit as good as expected, the hysteria and wait got to the point that it was almost necessary to buy it just to mark the end of it.
While we're on the subject, I'm interested in the Slashdot community's opinion on DoS. Is anyone in support of it in special circumstances? For example, would you support it if it were politically justified? I'm not talking about anything and everything one disagrees with, but what about cases of blatant human rights violations? Comments?
By far one of the greatest things about open source is that anyone has the opportunity to go out and build whatever they want. This adds to the mix and to the overall quality of the products. However, and I know this has been brought up before, is the open source community sporeading itself too thin? I'm not saying that there shouldn't be several flavors of operating systems, but I think some of these folks should try focusing their energies on one project. One secure, stable, fully-featured product is more desirable than 20 that do different things fine and other things horribly. I'm not looking to get blasted with why having many different OSs do different things is good, because I know that. I'm just raising a question that seems to have faded from the open source community's mind.
Mandrake is an excellent distro, especially for beginners who are looking for something less scattered than RedHat. Mandrake has continued to set the standard for ease of use and functionality. I hope they stay around for the sake of the linux community.

I know how I'll be spending these long, summer nights...
Haven't checked it out. Debian's my favorite for PC. Thanks for the info.
Finally, something other than linuxPPC and the Godawful Mach kernel for the ppc...I'm glad yellow dog is still coming along...

The fish are all that are left for the NSA to spy on. I never those gills could say so much...
