I am using my brain. I'll pray that you start using yours (and I mean you no offense with that remark -- just that what The Bible says HAS happened, IS happening, or WILL happen). The Bible is God's Word. Save yourself a lot of anguish and check it out.
Whether you are a Believing Christian or not does not change the inevitable. Jesus IS coming back to establish His Millenial Kingdom. This is stated numerous times in The Bible. While Europe, Russia, Iran and Iraq are mentioned (either directly or the region can be inferred) in The Bible (Daniel and Revelation being relevant to this conversation), the United States of America is not mentioned.
We (The United States of America) are not a player in the end times. So, rather than internalize the fact as the parent mentioned, I would rather suggest another thing. Because this is not just going to hurt you later.
Accept God's Gift of Salvation through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is a free gift. That way you will not suffer for eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Nah, he is going to use this information to target you (or me, or anyone else he thinks is misusing copyrighted material under the guise of calling them terrorists).
From what I've read on Transgaming's (WineX) web-site, flight sims aren't there yet. They mainly work with FPS games. I think they are working on flight sims (as I've seen some message traffic under Falcon 4.0). I think there are some open source flight sims that work under Linux. I seem to recall seeing them before (you might try Google).
I agree. I constantly evangelize Linux amongst my fellow consultants at a big software company. Some run MacOS on their personal Powerbooks. We are a small bunch (that are not running Windows), but we are usually successful once someone shows interest in switching. We do suffer setbacks (I know of two that have tried the switch but failed for whatever reason, and gone back to Windows).
I use RH9 on a Dell Latitude C840. I have to use Windows apps for my job. I use Crossover Office for Word/Excel/Powerpoint/Visio. I use VMware for a Siebel application as well as a VPN client for one of my customer's networks. Other than that I use native applications. Oh, I do run some games under WineX.
I am contemplating making the move on my home PC (probably when I get a new one). Quicken is the stumbling point (and yes I've looked at Gnucash, but I'm not going to use it -- I've been using Quicken since 1989). If Crossover isn't perfect, I'll just use VMware to run it.
Microsoft is worried and they should be. I personally think they should release an Office for Linux. I'm not a free software only person -- I'll pay for good software. Others have different opinions. I think we can all agree that the lifespan of Windows is nearing it's end (be it 2, 4, or 10 years) because there are good alternatives (Linux and MacOS X are the ones that immediately come to mind -- I don't use the *BSD's so I purposely am not mentioning them).
I don't have any problem with MOHAA on my C840. It looks just great on the LCD. I run it at 800x600. I think this is a preference based issue: some people prefer CRT's, while others prefer LCD's (I belong in the LCD camp now that I've seen what a great LCD display looks like).
I've got a Viewsonic PF795 (their best 19" when I got it in the fall of 2000). I now have a work provided Latitude C840 with Ultrasharp UXGA display. The CRT is noticeably less sharp. I plan on getting a Dell 20" Ultrasharp display in the next year or so (probably along with a new system). I like LCD's, and look forward to having one on my desktop. There is also a possiblity I would go with a laptop for my home system too.
A colleague pointed something interesting out to me. The cockpit door is reinforced, locked, etc. However, on many aircraft there is a lavatory on your left as you enter (right behind the Captain's seat). I wonder if that wall is reinforced.
Actually on every flight I've been on lately (and I fly a lot) the cockpit door is only locked prior to pushback. The cockpit crew tend to like to see what is coming on their aircraft.
I'll keep my Dell Latitude C840 with a 15" UltraSharp UXGA (1600x1200), 2.2GHz P4-M, 1GB RAM. This screen is beautiful. I'm a Road Warrior and this laptop is big enough as it is. Why would I want to schlep an even bigger laptop around on my travels and lose the resolution. RedHat 9 is beautiful on my C840.
Actually, I do know what my kids are doing (they are 3), and expect to be involved enough with their lives to continue knowing what they are doing.
I don't advocate locking up parents because Junior robs the local 7-11. However, if Junior is downloading copyrighted material to Dad's PC, Dad should have a clue.
Parents better have liability insurance, because whether you like it or not, they are liable for the actions of their minor children in a civil court of law.

Makes you wonder if they can listen when the phone is on-hook (i.e. hung up).

And I bet most of these folks listening wouldn't know USB from LSB (upper side band or lower side band).

WineX will play some of these games. There are also native Linux ports of games (such as America's Army).

A cool movie with Keeanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne.

There will be no peace until Jesus Christ returns to establish his Millenial Reign.
Nah, making you remove your shoes prior to going through the metal detector solves all problems.
Doubtful. A determined hijacker will just reprogram the flight control system.
Does it work with the a/b/g combo card? I too, am using an Orinoco Gold b card in the interim, until I can use my a/b/g card.
Yeah, like the TSA screeners at the airport when you have to take this beast out of your bag to go through the X-Ray on its own.

It brings you antialiased fonts (at least in RH9). It is built for Gnome 2.x.
For RedHat 9, GTK RPM's are all you will need. I am using a GTK2 1.4RC1 (found under nightly/experimental/gtk2).
Anybody here have an idea how long we'll have to wait for GTK2 builds? I'm spoiled by the 1.4RC1 GTK2 build on RH9.
Why not plug into a ethernet to wireless bridge? I haven't priced them, so won't speculate on price too much, but perhaps $75-100 USD.
Never update or make a change on Friday or before a holiday. This is a best practice.
As for SP4, I'll wait a few weeks before I upgrade my wife's laptop (on the off chance Microsoft will have to pull it or update it).
