If you boycott them (as I do for long now), then you are placed in their statistics as a stoler as they assume you got their stuff with another mean -> higher prices, new taxes, new laws etc...
dumbasses I say, yeah!
I dunno how you do those accute accent things on the e of sacre
like this: 'é':-)
the french (and my belgian) keyboards use the shift key to output those numbers above the letters. without the shift, it ouputs a special characters. exemple: 2:'é' 7:'è' 9:'ç' 0:'à'
anyway, accents should not be considered 'pointless foreign pretension'. in french, that's not very important, we can guess, but try for example to write vietnamese without accent and you will end up completely incomprehensible. letters with accent may be a completely different letter/meaning.
To my sense, the main obstacle is that nobody even know the existence of zero install (please, take a look at http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/)
I was quite satisfied with the 'aptitude install' & co. commands, but I really love ROX/0install since I tried it and THAT is an easy environment. It is really sad that nothing is using it, and it is not even incompatible with your current packages manager.
I see many things that must be improved/implemented, but please take a look at the documentation, particularily the security part before flaming.
I am not talking about servers or else, but try ROX (http://rox.sourceforge.net/) running on top of 0install and imagine yourself as Joe user. Man, that's easy, more than Macs!
Please, take a look, try, comment, even post flames but please spread the word or... or... I will cry:-)

I don't like installers, so I cannot help you with that:-)
If Knoppix boots, you can try using debootstrap. My preferred way because you can install debian on nearly everything the way you want; it is nearly as flexible as the Gentoo installer. And you're lucky, this article just came out today;-) :

OK, I'm backing up this one, firefox & opera crashed. Click like crasy the refresh button if it doesn't;-)
Konqueror seems to handle everything very well! If I were in the KDE team, I would reconsider the porting of Gecko to KDE for now:-)
Does anyone have actually tried the code?
I did try it using Konqueror/Linux, Opera/Linux&winXP, Firefox 1.0PR/Linux&winXP, Mozilla/Linux and IE and nothing happenned anywhere!
I am willing to repeat my question again: does anyone else tried the code and saw something weird?
Nope, sorry...
I've tried this using FireFox 1.0PR on Linux & win32 and Opera on Linux & win32 too; same things happenned: input box for the first and nothing for the second...
Nothing so nasty happenned
I have to disagree there. I have to believe that every extraterrestrial civilization will still want to try to answer the very question of its own origins--scientific or not.
Of course they will try to answer these questions, but I deeply hope they won't adopt the same methods we're using here: "I have invented my theory; I know it's like that; I don't have to prove it; It's like that and that's it; I am right, you are wrong"
As someone said in another post: "I don't have to tell you what that kind of thinking usually leads to, do I? (hints: crusades, 9/11, war, torture, genocide, holocaust, terrorism)"
It needs an option that warns you that you have other tabs open when you try to close it.
Konqueror has it. At least in version 3.1.5 I am using. Maybe the "Don't show this dialog again" checkbox was checked once. Go browse the preferences, It may be possible to reactivate it.
Linux 2.2.x is not vulnerable to this exploit because boundary checking is done before. It is also believed that Sparc and PA-RISC kernels are not vulnerable since user and kernel addresses are stored in different address spaces on these architectures.
Even though this kernel bug was discovered in September by Andrew Morton and already fixed in recent pre-release kernels since October, its security implication wasn't considered that severe. Hence, no security advisories were issued by any vendor. However, after it was discovered to be used as a local root exploit the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned CAN-2003-0961 to this problem. It is fixed in Linux 2.4.23 which was released last weekend and in the Debian advisory DSA 403.
This bug has been fixed in kernel version 2.4.23 for the 2.4 tree and 2.6.0-test6 kernel tree. For Debian it has been fixed in version 2.4.18-12 of the kernel source packages, version 2.4.18-14 of the i386 kernel images and version 2.4.18-11 of the alpha kernel images.
I am just wondering what are the proofs that the given source code is the very same one used to compile the binaries I can find in the stores? I mean, even at m$, nobody as a view at the entire source. What are the proofs that backdoors aren't added just after the programmers labs by NSA or even... Al-Quaida? And don't tell me Indian government will be allowed to compile their own versions for their whole staff! Maybe I'm paranoid, but NO, I don't trust m$...

What about making it run longhorn 24/24? wouldn't it be largely sufficient? :-)

Yeah, this is called an "embedded minister"
