Tell them internet is a giant cup of soda, you the kind you get a mini marts and such. Broadband is one of those jumbo straws and dial up is one of the coffee stiirer dealies.
Gentoo users think by tweaking make setting and c-flags they are somehow getting faster apps than let's say Debian. This is is silly; it's not like Debian compiles it's x86 packages on a Sparc box.
We have an office full of three year old PCs that run XP perfectly well. They don't come close to the specs needed to run Vista. There is no way we are going to replace 15 PCs just to run Vista.
Parallells is slick andif you run one of their supported OSes, it is nice. However, VMWare supports a much wider range of OSes. No one has built, let's say, SkyOS images for Parallels but they have for VMWare.
The good thing about these books is that they are cute without being Disney cuteish and are well written and charming. They are good books to read for any age.
The deal between MS and Novell won't change the case; Let's say Novell wins. They wont even be tempted to go after IBM because SCO was able to show no evidence, even if they owned the copyright. And if Novell wins it will be a terminal blow to SCO; IBM will just put a bullet in SCO's brain to finish the deal.
Actually, Deny is a proper legal term. When someone files a lawsuit against you, you can either Admit or Deny the accusations in the suit. So SCO filed a motion accusing IBM of something and IBM Denied it.
It probably would. I use Solaris and OpenLook apps (remember those?) still work on Solaris 10. This is stuff from the Solaris 2.4 days. So yes, Sun does make sure your old apps work.
I'll add to this: less Klutter (get it, ha! I'll be here all week, thank you). The volumes of apps included in a standard KDE desktop is just staggering plus all the eye candy turned on by default. KDE needs to be toned down and more modular.
And again, even if Lucasfilm's vaults were so woefully incomplete, we know for a fact that quality elements exist elsewhere. Given 48 hours notice, we could track them down ourselves.
XV was booted because it could only be dustributed as source. And of course the fact the author still demands shareware fees for an app that hasn't been updated in seven years.
This means that if you had four Mindstorms kits, you could create a mega-robot with four brains, twelve motors, and sixteen sensors -- all of it coordinated through Bluetooth
I bow to my intellectually superior lego overlords!
My experience with Wikipedia is that it tries too hard to be fair; if you read an article you'll get things like "This operating system has no 3D driver support, which while true of most small operating systems, can be a hinderance to adoption, but also 3D acceleration isn't important to a new OS but can be a factor later on..." Drives me nuts. This isn't Please Everyone-O-Rama, it's an encyclopedia!
Of course also have Admins with pet editors (or the reverse) and if you touch their article they get all holy infuriated and threaten to ban you or if you comment on their talk page they'll delete it with snide little comments like "Your contribution is neither asked for or wanted."
It is sad but at least they are consistent; an object should have cleared debris from its formation to become a planet; without these, Ceres and several astroids would have been planets as well.
Know what the problem is with these "iPod Rivals" or "iPod Killers"? The people who make them dont get it!
Let me explain: You can make an iPod rival/killer/whatever but it'll be missing something every iPod has: ease of use and sex appeal. Look an iPod; it makes you think of sleek lines, feminine forms, sleek muscle cars. And its easy to use: Just turn it on and go. Like a car: Turn the key, it works. No trying to find the right combination of keys or a door lock code.
Until manufacturers realize this and start thinking that way, they can make an iPod rival that has a built in fusion reactor and it still wont take a dent out of Apple's market share and mind set.
The only thing I don't like about this new definition is the inclusion of Ceres. I think an added criteria should be "And has cleared its orbit of debris left over from it's formation" which would rule out Ceres and other objects in the astroid belt.
To me a planet is an object this large enough to be round, never has had fusion in it's core and orbits it's star in an orbit clear of debris left over over from it's birth. Pluto would be in, Ceres out.
You have to translate this. When they mean cross paltform, they mean between Windows and Mac, not Windows and Linux or FreebSD. And further, it'll be cross platform as long as it doesn't threaten their monopoly.

Unless I am mistaken, Toast in version 7 put in some DRM stuff.

My only complaint about KDE is the klutter of it--all the stuff in the menus and all the included apps. A nice slimmed down KDE would be nice.

If you really think Jimbo is giving up power, you are wrong. This is a man who directly manipulate elections at Wikipedia.a mes

if he truly goes, then Wikipedia truly benefits but he wont give up the platform tht elevated him from soft porn purveyor to respected internet mind.

Jack Bauer could do it in half the time.
Chuck Norris already has them.
He wants to but will be put that idea aside to run for politcal office again?

Yes. What else do we geeks have to do on Valentine's Day?

Now all we need is to get Mac OS X running under Xen. Oh besides the fun and excitement of violating Apple's EULA, why would this be desirable?
