    remote into machines easily and with built in software? Is that what we call vulnerabilities now?

    >> users who have Office 2000 continue to use it because newer versions, despite their glossy advertisements, really offer nothing new for this type of work.

    You can say that for Office 97. I work for a Tens of billions per year company with 26,000 workers. We prefer W2K w/Office97. Office 2000 just adds a bunch of junk to a perfectly good (bare with me) Office suite. We did add Project 2000.

    I agree. I turn my system on and head for the kitchen to get a glass of tea.
    When I return and login I expect a working desktop within three seconds. IceWM with iDesk icons will do this. The "Other Two" take so F'ing long to load that the programmers decided to create a bootsplash with progress bars to make the wait feel less painful.
    I feel into that trap for a little while. I even created a KDE bootsplash and uploaded it to kde-look.org. It all seems kinda silly now. :)

    B: Isn't there a FOSS solution to this yet?

    Perhaps the creator will be a free plugin to an expensive and bloated Office Suite.

Good thing I use an encrypted file system with a very original password that has never been writen down or typed ANYWHERE and I don't use a swap file.

    Why not just let the guy who wants to talk shit while lacking a backbone register imhavingmyperiod.com. He could then use vettemph in his meta-tag so that search engines could find his bitchy little ass.

    ibm.info might be owned by IBM
    While
    microsoft.info might be owned by some little bitchy guy.

    Users who indiscriminately type "ibm" or "microsoft" before ".info" would not get consistent results. They would not find out until they get to the site whether it is owned by who they thought it would be owned by or not. Its useless. If i want rants about IBM i would google "rants IBM", I wouldn't "check" ibm.info to see whats is there and who owns it. URLs have little to do with content.
