NetBSD runs on everything and managed to beat Linux 2.6 scheduler performance (2 years in the making) with just 2 weeks of coding to "catch up".
I'm no Linux zealot, but your point here is horse shit. NetBSD took only two weeks to catch up because they had Linux's (two years of) work to learn from.

I reckon they'll just update their religions as these discoveries are made. It's happened before: we developed planes that could fly above the clouds and see no heaven, and they moved heaven to space. We've explored space, and they've.... moved it elsewhere.
Religion will still survive, perhaps unfortunately.
I'm just waiting/hoping for the day when Microsoft creates a PDF on a Mac that does a MS Office vs. ViM comparison.
Then those stupid emacs lovers will finally have to shove it. Of course, ViM doesn't have a version of Tetris for ViM (like emacs) or a fucking flight sim nested in it (Like Excel).
Come to think of it, Open Office doesn't have a flight sim nested in it either. Shouldn't this be in the PDF? This some serious ROI here...
What the the little white, rectangular squishy thingies they use in bookstores like Borders? They have two strips of metal foil and apparently work with magnetism somehow.
Does anyone have any technical information? Or even what they're called, so I can Google for info?
It was slated for release for the last quarter of this year after it was delayed from this summer (2004). I guess the thinking is, if Microsoft gradually delays things a few months at a time, it doesn't seem so bad.
He said "Celeron", not "Centrino". RTFC before you get anal and "correct" someone.

The Windows 2003 HCL (Hardware Compatiblity List) is your friend. Windows 2003 does a few system-level things differently, including drivers. This was widely documented and I'm surprised that you apparently didn't hear about it before you decided to upgrade.

Unfortunately, you're doing the same damned thing you're railing against:
The Geeks spend too much time trying to show non-Geeks how uncool using Windows is
[flame]Geeks are annoying. Most people only want to deal with them when something is broken. Most people don't like being preached to.[/flame]
(And yes, you can be both a UNIX guru and a non-geek.)
Understand that Linux is superior to Windows
By any sane/balanced person's standards, Linux is not categorically superior to Windows, sorry.
Linux may be simpler and speedier in many situations, but loses to Windows badly in the terms of: available software for the masses, gaming, video work, 3D design, drafting/CAD, audio work.
Simply put, Linux isn't the right thing for everyone, or perhaps even most people (for other than economical reasons). Recommending Linux to people who are better off using Windows or OS X is going to piss these people off and make them have a very unfavorable view of Linux, justified or not.
Stop saying how bad windows is
Quite some contradictory statements you've made there. You might want to rethink things.
Bitch please! Starbucks is coffee for candy asses. If you want "real" coffee, I suggest you go to a locally-based cafe with baristas who abhor the flavor "double mint caramel candy crunch".
Sure its a fair comparison, a UI is a UI. Comparing X11 to XP is even better, because XP is quite faster than 2000. With modifications to some settings, the Windows 2003 UI is faster than XP.
I agree with the rest of what you said, which pretty much follows my point that the Windows UI is just faster than X11 + any arbitrary window manager (although I haven't used FluxBox, I use Blackbox), but still the underlying issues with X11 and assorted applications lie.
I hope it gets there someday, or a suitable alternative to X comes along.
You only consider it subjective because I complimented Windows. And I'd wonder what you've done to Windows 2000 to make it so slow, when its considered faster and more responsive than X11 by the world at large (except of course, Linux zealots).
You probably don't think its slow because you don't use other environments much, like Windows which is much, much faster and responsive than X11 on modern PCs.
When will the Firebird project change their name again? When they realize that Firefox was a crappy movie put out by a heartless corporation, and starring Clint Eastwood in one of his most forgetable roles?
Why can't they just pick something simple and non-tacky for once?
The B-52G/H models used 3 ACUs each composed of (if I recall correctly) 4 Z-80 processors. i'm not sure about the number of CPUs in each systemn, but I am sure of the processors. These systems were loaded (very slowly) via tape, and they ran the RADAR and bombing computer subsystems.
I'm not sure which computers this article is referring to, but it may have been an earlier revision of the computer system in the B-52.
The only other computer system I can think of in the B-52s was the ECM system, and since it was highly classified, and I did not work on that system, I'm not overly sure.
For a little extra karma whoring, i'll relate a funny story. Our base, which shall remain nameless, would fly early morning ECM sorties while people were driving into work.
Their target signals for jamming? The radar guns the cops used in their speed traps to try and catch our folks driving into work. Apparently, the cops finally caught on and complained at the high number of equipment failures with their radar gun equipment.
Linux already has BSOD's, they're called "kernel panics" and in this case are "Black Screens Of Death". Personally, I like the Mac OS X kernel panic the best out of the 3, as its multi-lingual.
The CNN article doesn't say that Microsoft wooed him over with this set of cash and prizes. and judging by what the prizes are, I'd wager that Mike set these terms, and Microsoft said "okay".
Then why aren't more rich people doing it? Donald Trump was just scolded in the press for his lack of charitable contributions. Ted Turner had a hell of a time, and ultimately failed in his efforts to have a sort of "charitable donations" competition amongst the rich.

Right, because no matter what horrible things someone has done, if they donate enough money to good causes, that excuses their evil actions.
When I hear the word "horrible", I think Nazi Germany, I think concentration camps, I think of 9/11, I think of Dahmer's victims.
I DON'T think of Microsoft's antri-trust case.
