I burned about 15 DVDs last month. Some were ISOs and some were data. All were through the Nautilus method. That was the first and only time I've ever burned them. I did no setup. None of them coastered. I'm not saying you situation doesn't exist, just that it's not as ubiquitous as you make it seem.
I bet a lot of guys who are not anarchists would jump at the chance to work with NSA-style tech. Think about someone who's into cryptography and then think about what htey'd be doing for this group. I know the AF isn't the NSA, but plenty of my SINGINT buddies in the AF, Army, and Navy were tasked out to NSA. That's where all the cool intel happens.
In my experience, second language learners do a far better job of using there / they're / their, then / than, and your / you're than native speakers who lack strong literacy skills do.
When I read the article, I started thinking back a few years ago when I booted LTSP thin clients off of a Mosix kernel. I think the LTSP guys can do the distributed disk space, but I'm not up on the project anymore.
Then I realized that I know nothing about how to solve this problem with Windows, and I just started reading the comments to get the answer.
Depending on requirements, you could start PXE booting the clients via LTSP into an RDP client, connect to a Windows Terminal Server, and pull the hard drives as a last step, but I don't want to think about the power requirements of several RAIDs with a total of 1000 ancient 40GB drives.
Patents developed by public agencies (or those receiving public funds to do the research) should be licensed to that public at no cost. In this case, if UW receives state funding (obvious), then Wisconsin residents should get license for free. If UW receives federal funding for this department, all U.S. employees should receive the license. I have similar views on publicly-developed works of art including software and the public domain.
I agree with your assertion that a Windows computer won't be used like that, but any other configuration won't test the OS but applications unrelated to it, compromising the test. Sure "OpenBSD has had one remote exploit in the default install in its history" and the OS isn't usable for much in the default state, but that's the way to compare it against other OSes. Everything else just comes down to an argument of "why did you install that" and "they weren't optimized equally." Default install. XP still has enough holes fully patched that it would be first, but I'm pretty sure Vista would hold up well.
You need to exclude social engineering, too, but that's not a very "real world" case, either.
Nt only "fair" but required. The systems should be fully patched and using default installed software. This makes Windows a much smaller target software-wise, but I don't see any other way to make the competition fairer.
The comprehensible input theory by Stephen Krashen has been around for a long time. This is really no different, but just changes the angle of entry into the theory.
but I do know that there's no innovation in Flash. The Korean websites where the page is 15m long and everything is in flash kill me. And they kill my browsing experience.
Based on my experience reading the commander's book every day (ten years ago), you can bet MI has a decent guess about who is cutting the cables. They may not want to tip their hand about it, though. Don't take this as inside information. I don't have access to anything now.
Microsoft Windows or Apple OSX achieve what GP poster is saying.
MS achieves virtually nothing. The hardware vendors to elaborate testing and fiddling to make sure the pre-installed OS works when you get it.
Apple does a bit more: it checks for its own (limited) hardware compatability.
But pre-installed Ubuntu from Dell... and it all works. Buy a EeePC and... it all works.
Try installing XP or Vista on a computer you built yourself sometime. It rarely all just works out of the box. It requires hours of installing drivers, made easier because the part manufacturers supply those drivers for you.
I actually think that this is part of the maturing MSFT. Surely with 40+B in cash and a flat stock history, they would eventually be a takeover target by someone. That person (more likely, fund) would have to be extremely large, but it might begin to look worth the investment unless MSFT gets rids of the huge cash reserve.

I thought Lotus lost because it continued to be a DOS app while Excel was a Windows app.

Mao did a pretty good job by killing and locking everyone up. If you kill everyone with the information, no one wants to free it.

I got stuck humping radios for a living.
Upstart still accepts the SysV init scripts.

Since it looks like MS spent 20M of its cash reserve in the last couple of years for a flat stock price, I really hope MS tanks its stock further and depletes its cash reserve almost completely.

Oops! Wrong story.

Actually, he did: you just can't hear it. ;)

No. No. In space, no one can hear you scream. Geez.
Epiphany (the default Gnome browser) will download a file link automatically and open the default app. Gnome does this. Ubuntu doesn't, aparently.
This is an important reason why Epiphany should be the default for Ubuntu and not Firefox. FF isn't integrated into Gnome. Period.
