But I have to say it's scary to see the symptoms of this so early when Linux doesn't even have some respectable % of the desktop market. This is not a winning behavior for sure.
People have been arguing about which text editor is better since before there was a Linux. Arguments aren't a symptom of anything in the free software world, they are a fact of life and sometimes even healthy. Gnome -vs- KDE, Vi -vs Emacs, Linux -vs- BSD, etc, etc..
The popular idea that 100% rel humidity = rain is not accurate.
That aside, saying the relative humidity peaked at 90 isn't saying much. The west coast is going to see a *hell* of a lot more humidity than New Mexico will. Giving us the peak value is useless when your point is that the humidity didn't bother the system.
The article said they got up to 90% humidity at times.
100% humidity is rain. I would expect almost everywhere to see 100% humidity at times. Where I live it rarely goes below 50% humidity. We need more of an average to make any sense of it rather than the extremes.
She's not sending mail using a mail client which contacts her ISP's SMTP server. She's using Yahoo's web interface to their SMTP server which is most likely not in Alaska. Or as far as I figure anyway.
On the other hand, new linux distributions come out far more frequently than windows so if your hardware has been on sale more than a couple of months chances are it will be supported out of the box by current linux distros.
There you go. That and in Linux you don't need a driver from a manufacturer, one driver (that comes with the kernel) will operate a device with the same chipset from any number of vendors. In the Windows world you can't usually use a "realtek" network driver on a card from a different manufacturer even if it uses the same realtek chipset. I find that most frustrating of all.
I can't see this being a problem with the OLPC having all the same hardware, but you never know with Microsoft.
If you've ever had the experience of trying to install XP on a laptop when XP knows nothing about the network device, and you can't find your disk then you would know what GP was talking about. Boot up a Linux Live CD and download the driver is about the only solution unless you have another PC around to retrieve the stupid driver.
It's rare to find hardware that doesn't work in Linux, and also rare to find hardware that works out of the box with XP these days.
When I tell you that you obviously haven't studied it
You haven't got a clue what I've studied and what I haven't. You claimed that evolutionary theory told of telepathic beings which demand our loyalty and praise which in turn give us eternal life.
Yeah, makes much more sense to think an omnipotent being (who's origin we shall not discuss) created us in order to serve him and telepathically announce our eternal servitude to him so we can live forever.
we tried doing it your way for 30 years, even after the first attacks on the WTC
Your government hasn't ever gone 30 years that I know of without destruction of other countries. South America, Central America, the middle east.. Its always something with you.
Which 30 years are you talking about.
First we are bad for not getting involved, and worse, we are cowards for it. Then we are bad for getting involved? What exactly should our foreign policy be then?
Well a good start would be to determine who the aggressor is in these things and stop supporting them. If it is you, then stop the aggression.
The first hijackings were in the early 70s, like 73,
Like ummm.. Err, I mean what if maybe.. Err...
this comes down to you still aren't disproving any of my points
Your points? Your point is your country should be able to kill whoever it wants for whatever reason it wants.

It's obviously nowhere near as private as you think it is.
X10 might work better. ;)

The fluctuating humidity probably wouldn't be a problem in New Mexico either. The rest of us might have a problem.
LinuxMCE looks like it blows the socks of both of these.
I haven't taken time to play with any of them yet. Anyone tried LinuxMCE?
It doesn't stand for Xbox Media Center anymore. It's just 4 meaningless letters now.
Deal with it.

I've never heard of an amber alert before, but that's exactly what it sounds like to me.
Put live feeds on Youtube.. We'll all fucking watch them.

I've heard these alternative court systems have worked well.
You really need to post a link. I have to see this.
I guess I must have missed the part on telepathy and omniscience.
Yeah, makes much more sense to think an omnipotent being (who's origin we shall not discuss) created us in order to serve him and telepathically announce our eternal servitude to him so we can live forever.
If we're counting martyrs to see who's view is more believable, Islam will win that one. They are much more stupid about these things.
Yeah, and Santa drives a sleigh pulled around by reindeer giving toys to little boys and girs. Jim Jones couldn't do that either.
Don't get me started on the Easter Bunny.

Which 30 years are you talking about.
You want me to prove to you that killing people doesn't do any good no matter how many people you kill?
You're too dense to grasp the concept.
Shhhh.. Don't tell anyone, but it is. The whole thing falls apart if anyone figures this out.
Well a good start would be to determine who the aggressor is in these things and stop supporting them. If it is you, then stop the aggression.
