... that someone explain to end users that by it's nature, Windows is unstable.
I'm not saying it's a bad product, but for those of us who support users, we know a machine DOES crash once in a while.
When a user tells me a machine crashed, and it's only happened once, they've been using the machine for a year, I explain that is a better then average track record, and they want it fixed.

Everyone is not as fortunate as you in this circumstance. * IF * this is a good product, and I agree it is quite unlikely, no one requires you to use it.
This is a company producing a product that will likely not have an effect.
To me, this is a product that if it does turn out to be real, and function, that I can present to my managers and them to those above them, because it will not only bring us in to the Linux world as a corporate entity, but not have to purchase/retrain employees that use Windows apps, and not waste licenses we currently own for Windows apps.
While this may not affect you, in the corporate world it takes baby steps to get anywhere. If you take a big step, then people act like babies.
Actually the information in regards to the beta being moved is totally accurate. I heard from the president of Toshiba which heard from the president of Blizzard while they were hanging out a local gentlemans club.
A good business, or business model usually focuses on a companies ability to offer something to its core audience that either
a) isn't offered elsewhere
b) offer a service/product BETTER then existing competitors
This is the first business case I've ever seen that offers LESS for MORE money.

Say hello to my little friend...
I spent more time clicking on characters then playing.
but he isn't. If he was really a friend or cared about you in that job he would stand up for you and speak to someone above the person who is "unhappy" with you.
My best friend was in the same position as you, 21 years old, a unix admin, a new boss came in and wanted him gone. 6 months later they had a short list of stupid reasons to fire him and did so, even though they are the kind of things everyone does, sucha s coming in late 5 minutes once or twice.
It may not be open source, but to us an end users, it is a free service.
I'll bet many of us use Google for work, and it makes a job easier. Being able to find a web page, or a usenet post or a graphic in a flash, with little advertising/bother has to be worth something. I wish they had a donate button, a few dollars would gladly go there.
I sent $200usd to an account on promise of an item (it was a complete scam), the turn around time for delivery was 4-6 weeks. At the end of this six weeks I could not contact the seller. I filed a complaint with paypal and they informed me they will not become involved in disputing a transaction older then 30 days.
I sent a longer, nastier, more descriptive e-mail, a week letter I recieved a note saying the funds were retrieved and credited to my credit card.
I got my money back and I'm happy, and this was a scam, but........ they violated the terms they provide to sellers by pulling the money from their account well after 7-8 weeks from the transaction date.
sometimes the buyer needs protection, which I got, but at the cost of PayPal violating the rights of the seller.
I'm glad i got my money back, but I would never SELL anything with paypal.

... and in these docking stations some of them can have a PCI card.
I have a TP Dock (2631-20U) with my T23, and although I don't use a PCI card in there, it has support for a half height pci card.
I'm sure there are other similar solutions available to add desktop functionality to your notebook.

entirely possible, my appologies.
How does "going away" or "staying" help/hurt you?

You miss the KDE icon in the menu at bottom left.
Although I may have actually purchased one if I --> COULD -- cram a waffle in there and have it come out cooked.
They could just remove fan/heatsync components and vent the hot air to the top of the unit.
If anyone creates a waffle mod please send me a note, I'm willing to purchase a kit.
If i woke up, walked to the kitchen, 10 bux says that I'd put the toast in the GameQube, and put the DVD in my toaster.
maybe not automatically removed slash dotted links, that would everything. :) What about an auto link to a cached version on google...
Maybe a check box to include that in the item, from the submit page
At the point of origin, or the destination.
And on behalf of some Canadians, I would love something like this to happen up hear.
Could you hook up that schedule? I think after the past few days (new years eve) that I'll have to go or else be damned :(
I managed to get a bunch of internal memo's and alot of personal junk such as resumes. :)
This recently happened, wasn't it called SirCam?

Do you picture MS as more of the thimble, or possible the top hat? I like to think they are the little dog myself.
Please advise.
... not alter there software to stop it from detecting viruses.
Assuming magic latern is different enough from every other virus, I don't see a commitmant to include that in the virus signatures.
Is it possible the FBI said "shut up and stop telling people you dumbasses otherwise the bad men won't use your software".
I can picture a criminal getting this e-mail.
