anyone want to tell me how some one responsible for the most insecure software releases on the market is promoted into a government security role ? wasn't there a joke about microsoft postponing their antitrust settlement until they had a controlling interest in the united states ?
at least we'll have a settlement soon eh ?
you twit, this isn't your body, this is the kernel.. a couple MB collection of temporary bits on your harddrive.. you only have one body, but you can have an infinite number of kernels.. if you seriously screw up, boot to the old kernel...
how do you expect the "dumb" people to learn or get interested if you make it hard to get into..
next people will want to close source linux & setup an 31337 membership only group.
linux will wither & die if it doesn't progress to compete w/ macos X...
sure we have a place to gather, right outside the courtroom of the day as we wait for reimbursments for the shitty OS we've had shoved down our throats, even if we didn't want to purchase it (www.dell.com, ibm, compaq, etc...). anyone ever actually get some money back from ms ? i liked how microsoft being punished was mentioned on the yearly vapourware list...
sure it's great to just plug-in all these wonderful external drives, but the cost of them... oh 'n' let's not forget desk space.
sure it's pretty, works great, but i could buy & maintain a decent older car for the cost of an "entry" level g4... that'd save me a helluva lot more time then the pretty interface =P
why can't apple just completely screw microsoft & offer OS X for the x86 platform.. i'd toss aside my library of software in a second to use the OS, but it may be some time before i'm rich enough to use their hardware. a 3 year old g3 tower still costs far more than a brand new pc. apple may have the os down to a lovely art, but there's no way in hell i'm going to go back to the 15" monitor of an imac to run it.
i can't even imagine trying to sit in front of a screen that large ? dual or triple 19"s are plenty for me.. i had a 21 & a 19 hanging from a rack in front of me a while back 'n' that was enough for neck strain....
seriously 'tho.. who sells 36" monitors ?
actually, many many video cards weren't supported by default with the ageing 5.0 personal edition, however there were updates available & many individual drivers available through all the be development sites.. or there were several months ago....
what a shame, if only they'd open sourced it...
don't just consider it.. download yourself a copy of mozilla 0.9.6.. the tabbed browsing rawks.. & with the load on startup option, it'll feel just as fast as internet explorer.

4 years as a prof. paid developer. if he's 18 now = started @ 14
if he has the skills to be hired on by a major company @ 14, i've plenty of faith in him @ 18. posts like this are obvious representations of old farts with some serious insecurities.

why can't they just release a 17" powerhouse imac model.. or even a 19".. it'd make an awesome head to a tower full of briq's running black lab linux =)

actually switching to redhat would mean an easy move to terminal/server setups meaning easier maintenance & a lot more terminals available for the same amount of $$ vs. computers...
existing computers could be used as terminals allowing whole districts to jump to a unified linux distribution.. just imagine the extra funds..
it's just a hope that the politicians are smart enough to go with linux, but not smart enough to understand the revolution they'd be starting...
redhat can offer the OS, a number of office suites that're more than adequate for school work (staroffice, koffice, etc..).. there's a ton of educational/scientific software available already + wine for those windows based multimedia apps.
what's the worry ? i don't see apple offering to sell microsoft discounted hardware to make the deal really interesting...
an extra million young linux users could do some amazing things for the OS ! games would be ported, applications written, it'd be outrageous !
