On the other hand, Linux DOES freeze from time to time. Happened to me this afternoon. Had to go all the way to the neighboring cube and telnet to the machine and run top to see which X-windows application was eating 99% of the cpu time, and then kill -9 it.
Whereas with Windows, you can't telnet in and kill a process. Often times, it is the user who does something to cause the problem (on any OS). An OS that allows the user to fix that problem is superior IMO than one that throws up a STOP screen.
I am assuming you saw the picture at HardOCP.. The one with the [H] watermark added in.. See what I'm getting at? That could just mean that they used Photoshop to add the watermark. Although, chances are the person who created the fake did use Photoshop also.
The treasury dept. never designed bills to work with those stupid pens. Technically, those pens deface money and are thus illegal. It takes less effort to hold the bill up and look for the thread that runs from top to bottom.
I used to work at a place that had those waste-of-time pens. I always held my bills up to look for the thread while most everyone else used the pens. Guess what.. I never accepted any counterfeit bills. Those pens wasted so much time. The results were not consistent and it took two hands to do. The bill had to be set down, written on, and looked at after waiting a little while.
No one should have their money refused solely because of the results of that stupid pen. Can someone help it if their bill was used four people ago to pay for a pizza?
Sounds like those people who want RJ45 sockets in their bathrooms.
Sometimes people want to listen to music while they shower or bathe. And some of those people would enjoy streaming audio to save the trouble of changing CDs, downloading MP3s, etc.
Get a cordless.
Let's see..
Reception isn't always perfect.
Anyone with a scanner can listen in.
If the power goes out and you don't know where the phone is, the find (beeping thing) often will not work.
If you get an important call, you may have to rush to find the phone.
Your post may have been a joke, but I can honestly say i have an account in the 71xxx.xxxx range. Also, I think this article is talking about CompuServe 2000 (Basically AOL), not CompuServe Classic.
Cheap S-Video cables will deliver degraded signal over long distances. But, if you're willing to spend the extra cash, you can get very high quality cables that support long distances without any problems.

Time to set up 486 securely: 1 hr. - several days.
Not everyone knows how to set up a linux router securely. Some people might think they do, but they could be wrong. According to who? Not that you're wrong, but you cite no facts. It seems like it is just your opinion.
RFC2396 goes into great detail about URI's and URL's. It covers the (minor for most of us) differences between them.

Like proprietary ATX power connectors? No wait, that is Dell.

Just like how no one will use DVDs that have region codes since they restrict use of the disk?
