Good point above. I do not think it is a good idea to protest during Thanksgiving travel days. It is probably by design, but that might have an opposite effect.
As much as I would like to protest myself, I would not do that that particular time -- I would have to deal with TSA first, and then in-laws at Thanksgiving dinner... I'm not sure what would be worse.
Yes, FireWires is far more superior standard to USB2, but... market defines which standard is being used. USB2 devices are cheaper and more common. Even camcorders come with ability to use USB2 as video upload protocol and eSATA is taking over in external disk area. So, what is left for FireWire?
I think FireWire still is a great choice for Professional, high end use. I guess Steve's idea of removing that option from consumer lower end models is not at that crazy as it sounds.
I will repeat that: peripherals define standards... Some of FireWire camcorders do support FireWire... but at speeds of 100Mbps! Like first model of Sony HD... WTF?!? Any how many of us fried FireWire by short-circuiting port with bad cables? FireWire is high power port. I have fried 2 laptops myself that way - only way is to replace motherboard. As much as I love FireWire as a standard... oh, well.
Why don't NetBSD migrate completely all its projects under OpenBSD? OpenBSD is the closest relative of NetBSD that broke off and is very successful anyway. I do not see much point of having 2 very similar projects. Combine the efforts, teams, and projects, get over differences and work together for good of all of us! For crying at laud!!
It is not about having cheaper workforce, not about saving cost, not about outsourcing or offshoring... It is about executives making money! Just trace who actually invest in out sourcing and off shoring companies... those people who actually promote that idea and the same people that bragging about "cost savings".
Cost saving is not as important as making money on the whole process.
I lost my hosting ISP some time ago and I had to put a backup server quickly. All I had was ADSL line and old laptop. It is running OpenBSD, so there is no serious patching required, therefore I can afford uptime of 636 day. It is time to upgrade to new hardware, and I am considering another laptop for that. Advantages are: build-in keyboard and screen, APM and battery power, PCMCIA expansion, portable if needed, and the biggest for me - it is damn quiet!
I guess Lara Croft is Brithish... so she should be using 9mm x19 version of H&K USP Match. At least you have 15 magazine... besides 9mm x19 shells are much better than.45...

Xig is not as good as they think. Accelerated X did *not* work correctly on my laptop -- I got only 15 bit color! -- XFree do a pretty good job, I have never had problems with them.
Back of with that commercial FUD crap!

Before you say something bad about CDE, just look at my CDE screenshot. I m running Red Hat 5.2 + TriTeal TED 4.2+ + personal enhancements...
Yes, CDE is nice if you know how to customize it. I went really deep into TriTeal version and made CDE very, very useable. Right now, people are coming to me and couldn t believe that's 'ol good CDE... Just put some actions, nice backgrounds (via wmsetbg - Window Maker feature!), put some icons on desktop, customize front panel... boy!
GNOME is my second favorite, I will wait for Red Hat 6.0...
BTW: yes, CDE is standard. I work with several Unix system, and if you move display form one Unix to another, CDE is useful... especially, when you have a Motif application...

... and whatever i tried it did not auto-corrected to those words in screenshots... pretty sure those were fake... but still funny.
I have clearly seen Mother computer on Nostromo using CRT honey text display... none of CRT monitors have DVI... and that is way in the future...

SyFy sounds like a pet name for a syphilis infection
It is actually! In most of Slavic languages that is exactly a pet name for Syphilis!!
Great marketing scheme!

Maybe you can check facts first.
Check Leopard MacOSX Server:
Apache, Samba, OpenLDAP, Kerberos, Postfix, Cyrus, SpamAssasin, Jabber, CUPS, POSIX, Wiki, Xgrid, QT Streaming... all 64-bit, not mentioning DTrace and ZFS
Dude! That makes is coolest server on the block!!
MacOSX 10.5 Leopard Server

I like 'Zed' more than 'Zee'... but can you imagine "ZZTop" pronounced as "Zed-Zed-Top"? ;)

But it does with Solaris 8 and NS 4.75...
THANKS! I _still_ like Red Hat better than Debian... especially if I can get few enhancements from VA... ;)
This lousy, crashig device is huge!
Yes, 15-bits on Accelerated-X, while XFree could do normal 16-bits. Besides, AX was *really* unstable...
Xig is not as good as they think. Accelerated X did *not* work correctly on my laptop -- I got only 15 bit color! -- XFree do a pretty good job, I have never had problems with them.
