I'm running an SSH client for Windows called SecureCRT. It works very well (key emulation is not 100%, but I can't even find a TELNET client that works properly). There's a 30day evaluation on Tucows.

Some people have nothing better to do than complain about things.
OEMs have been doing something similar to this for years. I bought an Acer machine a while back, and instead of a Windows95 CD, it came with an 'Emergency Recovery Disc' and a 'Windows95 Companion CD' I hated this Emergency Disc, but I can see how it would benefit a lot of entry level users. The CD contained EVERYTHING that my computer had when I first bought it. The CD was bootable, and automatically installed through a simple text-based menu, should something go awry. The CD contained all Drivers, OEM software - read: Magic Schoolbus and Microsoft 3D Animator, the OS, fonts, etc.
The biggest problem with this disc was that there was no provision to re-install windows without formatting the HD. This was a VERY BAD THING once registry rot sunk in.
Anyway, my point was that there have been custom distros of Windows for a while. They come pre-configured with the drivers of a particular machine. I think a Linux version that performs similarly is a good thing.
The Simpsons have shaped our generation. It has evolved from a show that was about a punk kid named Bart to a hilarious satirical poke at North American life.
One of the beauties of the Simpsons that contributes to its longevity is that the characters simply don't age. This has been the downfall of many a live action sitcom.
I've been predicting a Simpsons movie to end the series. The Simpsons is the most successful primetime animated series, and will possibly become the longest running sitcom. It turned 10 last year. This only leaves shows like M*A*S*H and Cheers to compete with. A Simpsons movie would, IMHO be an excellent way to end the series.

Not only does Microsoft have full control over what goes on their CD, and Redhat adds these components as "value added" features, as you said, but I'm pretty sure that Redhat would make sure they have rights to distribute these components unlike certain other features: *cough*Stacker-- I mean Doublespace and *cough*SpeedDisk-- I mean 'defrag'.

What marketing and advertising methods have you found most successful for promoting the website? We all know that banners are dying, and the creators have to become more creative to get people to even NOTICE the banners. Is old media (television, print -- Newspapers, magazines, billboards etc., radio.) the backend to the website's marketing campaign, or have you found innovative ways to make online promotion work?
I expect that to go away within the next five years, as the glamour of the web fades and Dot Com ceases to sound cool.
While I am all for making a medium accessable to the blind/other disabled people (or whatever the politically correct term of the week is for diabled people), we must not forget the the web is a MULTI-MEDIA medium. With out graphics, the web is nothing more than color, glorified Gopher.
$1.5 billion for Adobe? Doesn't the article (up top) say $2.44 billion?

Good point. I forgot about drives altogether. RAID certainly would take up a lot more space than a slim case. There are still benefits to low power, and low heat output, though. It's a lot cheaper to cool a room that isn't GENERATING that much heat.
Not only would this be great for clustering, but also for any situation where a large number of machines need to be in one physical location.
I think of Co-Location Hosting services. In my experience, looking for web hosting providers, physical dimensions of rack space are one of the key elements when figuring costs for co-location services (along with bandwidth, on-site maintenance fees, etc.).
In most Network Operations Centers I see on the web, there are rooms of rack mounted (regular size) servers, with the occasional slim Cobalt Raq system.
Wouldn't this be a great niche for Transmeta to capture? If they can pile, say 600 slim servers into the space usually required by 100 regular-sized rack mounted boxen, this could save many people money. From the consumers paying less for CO-LO service, to the CO-LO provider saving money on NOC floor space, less fire-suppression units etc, or packing more machines into the same ammount of space. This would require less power on their end, and maybe even re-shape our current hosting business model. Virtual hosting could meet its demise if co-lo service could be brought down a peg.
I'm sure there are many OTHER benefits to using low-power, low-heat, headless units in NOCs that I'm not cluing in to right now. What do the rest of you think?
Ok, what if we took the source, and encoded it with a scheme SIMILAR to CSS. THEN distributed it widely witout keys, making sure that it's true nature (the source) is well known.
The source is intellectual property. If the MPAA's hired goons want to prove that the source is contained withing this stream of encrypted characters, they would have to violate the DMCA in order to get inside.
What do we think?

Costs WILL go down. I can remember 'surfing' the web in a DOS web browser (it MIGHT've been Lynx), with my 2400BPS modem, costing me $5.85/hour during downtime (midnight to 7). Primetime (day) rates were upwards of $14.75 or something crazy like that. We never had a freenet.
Now I have a DSL connection giving me 1000 times the bandwidth, on a dedicated line for less than $50/month.
I own DVDs. I don't own a DVD player. It belongs to one of my roommates, and is currently in our basement community room.

For that matter, VCD's aren't that great looking. What's to stop me from dumping VHS tapes to VCD under fair use? Nothing. What's the difference in quality? It can't be much. We're crunching 70 minutes of video and stereo sound into the space normally required by raw sound at 44.1KHz.
