... things were made more solid because the technology was new. They didn't really know how strong they had to build things to make it do what it's supposed to do. Now we know. A modern probe or sattellite will therefor not last for 20+ years. They will - stupid enough - only last as long as they are supposed to.

The truth is that coders never will agree which one is the truth.
(MacAfee should be happy if there came more viruses for Linux or any platform, it's their living.)
Why don't you do it. Almost every Linux person goes around saying the same thing, but few tries to do anything about it.
The simple desktop distro excist, for the people already in the Linux community.
For ordinary people the problem does not lie in the software you put in, but the software your users can put in. Try make people understand rpm or - haha - apt. It's near impossible. (Simple solutions can be made through scripts (with guis) and databases with software info.) People don't like to see, should I solve dependency... bla, bla, bla. They'd freak out. It is not so simple designing a system that ordinary people find simple.
By the way, when you make this distro remember to include wine. Or try explaining that they can't download that and that program because it is a windows binary. (Should be explained like this: bla, bla, bla, bla, not, bla, bla, bla, windows, bla, bla, bla.)
Trying to stay slightly on-topic I would like to say that debian never will gain a large, mainstream position, debian based distros on the other hand will. They are usually compiled by smaller teams and is getting updated faster. Debian however is too slow.
Now that TurboLinux might be going down, (I'll take this rumour with a jar of salt) the marked won't be notably hurt. There is an abdundance of distros ready to capture TL's market share. Despite what people seem to think there is little difference between distros. User rarly notice the difference between the distros. I my self could not tell a RedHat system from a decent Debian based distro if I didn't see the boot up (and both carried both apt and rpm.)
One emergency on where you aren't able to save the people inside the plane is one to many. Besides on many planes I've seen (not in the US though) there are dotted lines with the text: "Cut here in case of emergency." I'm not kidding. Emergency wheichle can on most airports reach any part of the airport in less than a minute from the alarm sounds. The also train on getting people out of burning plane wrecks alive. Just in case it isn't a head first crash, just a sliding fire-ball.
I belive that tech savvy people easyer understand the legal aspect of piracy, EULAs and modern copyright protection. They might not agree with RIAA on means and do share and download songs, but very often they end up buying the album. I belive this is either because they want the real stuff or because they belive that everybody are entitled to their own opinion, even if it means accepting that others can creat destructive EULAs and over protecting their copyrights because they only think about profit in a short term.
The ones who hurt music are those who are less tech savvy, less hackish/geekish. Most youths know how to operate a computer, burning CD's and sharing files is a piece of cake. What they are not aware of is the impact this has on musicians and record labels. They are just not thinking, what they really do is think like RIAA: "How can I get the most without paying?"
No need for breaking the law, though it sometimes seems wrong it does offer some protection. This is a political decission which - as far as I know - a strike would be legal, it would be a political strike. Imagining every computer employee standing up for strike.
This actually works by the same principle as Beethoven composed his music (at least the late parts.) He was deaf (or at least almost deaf) and bit on a wooden stick which he touched the piano or strings with when he was playing.
... Philips take on anti piracy and copyright protection since they insists that the Compact Disk Digital Audio label shouldn't be used on copy protected CD's?

Fair enough ICANN isn't working (properly.) But why should the US government get all the fun. Why no Japan or GB or Somalia. Like space, the internett is nobodys property. The US should leave it alone or alternatively propose an internatialization. (Imagin UNICANN or UNHCWWW.)
Of course most oil-companies have multiple legs to stand on, but it is still estimated that the current oil reserves will last for decades. They wont give up gas until the reservs have run out. Only then will they truly be comited to fuele cells.
The article should have said something about the oil companies. I'll bet that most major oil-drilling companies will fight fuel cells with all they've got.
I am well aware that not all oil is made into gasolin and that some fuelcells can convert gasolin and that they could use the excess gas (which comes up with the oil) to power the cells. I am also well aware that it is posible through cracking to reduse the raw oil to more usable components.
Still the oil companies would suffer serious losses and so would some oil dependant contries. This might in turn lead to I price war where oil companies would subsidize traditional cars (especially american motors which uses way too much gas compared to their effect.) The fuel cell cars would then have few economical advantages over gas cars. Who would subsidize them? Green Peace?
