Yeah? Do a non-continous selection with one hand on your three button mouse. Open an URL in a new window/tab while using the opposite of the default behaviour of focusing.
The writer of the article slams Linux for not having free automated updates, enabling services in default installations, and not warning users when they are using 'root'. Uhmm, I could be wrong, but hasn't Mandrake been doing that for quite some time?
Informative? Not in an on-topic kind of way. The story is about - wait, why don't you read it yourself. Just the first sentence. Hell, even you admit that that sentence is not right, and that the grand-parent is in fact right about criticising the story - your opinions about Spymac non withstanding.

Given how you described the Taurus, I'd guess not much longer;-)
Sure, like they did when there were emulators for 68k based Macs, and like they do today for Mac-on-Linux. Sorry, you and your lamer friends can't even manage to write an emulator for PPC - that's why you have to use the lame evil-Apple-is-after-us excuse.
Of course legacy-free PCs never made sense, the whole concept of the PC is based on legacy (A20 gate anyone?). But Intel didn't develop USB for the legacy-freeness, it did because it didn't make sense to devolope a new plug whenever somebody invented a new input device. Instead they adopted the concept of Apple's ADB so you only had one plug (of course Intel had to do 2) and you could daisy-chain the devices.
But even when Intel force-fed USB onto most PCs by including it on chip sets and motherboards, those sneaky PC makers simply didn't add the USB ports to the case, so nobody could use them - as if they had been able to, because no OS supported it in any way remotely usefull.
Nice theory, but when MS tells manufacturers that they want a certain hardware in all future computers, almost all will follow, and when MS decides they won't support certain hardware, it will sooner or later disappear.
Heck, after about 20 years, all PCs still have the A20-gate, just because MS did some odd programming in DOS 1.x and IBM hacked the AT design to be compatible with it.

Too bad I can't afford the admission cost. Then you have no place in running a business. "With Mac OS X Server and a $300 iMac off eBay"
So what are they doing against joggers and other maniac runners?
You forgot the "must not be French" clause ;-)
I didn't get mod points for about two years now. But thanks for the tip.

Oh, leave that poor guy alone, he isn't even allowed to fly airliners.

And it even only costs half per pound what the Apple does!
And I have no need for a A20 gate. All PC notebooks are thus overpriced. QED
So now it's Apple's fault that nobody has the brains to make a working Mac emulator for PCs?
Then stop looking at porn already!
Well, he said he used a 12" Powerbook, not a DELL Latitude as mentioned in the article.

You can still buy Linux detergent. And you can still buy windows.
Yeah, they timed it so well, that they came out years before legacy free PCs outsold iMacs.
Translation: MAC sux cause they also support lower bandwidths.

Talking 'bout lacking hardware...
AFAIK it was late because they had trouble making it work under Windows.
Too late.
How do you think Apple does translations, on an assembly line?
Well guess what was keeping him?
