but hey -- can you say all Linux apps are stable? Like Gnome?
Gnome is experimental, NT is not. You should talk more about Pine, Sendmail, Apache, Samba, and the kernel. I know the benchmark results, do you?
I was talking about servers anyway. I've found the Linux server apps to be quite stable, only the desktop ones are lacking in the field. How many businesses would use Gnome in its current state, anyway? --------
Ever heard of a white-noise generator? You know what white noise does to *any* type of signal. It would be quite easy to jam your computer's interference (and legal too, just keep the amplitude close to your computer's).
Besides, getting back to the main topic, the police always have other evidence of crimes, beside the encrypted information. Why? Other people trying to save their own skins will 'rat you out'. --------
I know this is sorta offtopic, but it's just so FUNNY! Anyone seen this HP commercial on CNN?: "A computer confronts failure. Failure attacks. An opposing force neutralizes failure, Reversing its energy, Rendering its intentions Useless....

I just installed RedHat 6.0 (on a partition separate from my main Debian system), and it does the same. Can you say "GNOME"?
On another note, considering GNOME and KDE are almost exactly alike, why don't they merge the projects already (like when Qt 2.0 is released), and make everyone's lives easier? --------

All user owned executables would run in a Java-like sandbox which would not allow file access. This would have to include any scripting or macro functions as well.
That's a bit extreme. Many useful things need file access, so:
Allow the user to specify (prior to running the program) exactly which files are to be accessed.
A 'chroot' type environment
Or, for those who don't trust chroot, a dynamically-sized hardfile (filesystem inside a file), which the user can insert and extract files with sysadmin-provided apps (like mtools, but different)
There are plenty of other systems in place on the internet in which to exchange files, just keep binaries separate from communication, and we'll all be fine. --------

I guess we should fire Linus and Alan.
I'd hope that we'd move towards a more egalitarian society where everybody's contributions are valued...
...no matter how worthless and braindead those contributions are. (ala Microsoft programming model)
