Could we stop this Gentoo vs Debian, bullshit. I myself use Gentoo but I don't have to advertise it to everyone. People are quite content with using Debian, and let them. Stop recommending Gentoo to everyone as it's not the best for every job.
Lexmark's buissness model relies heavily on ink cartriages. That's why the inkjet printers are dirt cheap, but there cartriages, are quite exensive $40, for color and a black. Not only that the printer uses a non-open programming language, so there is no printing in Linux, atleast for many of the inkjet printers. However their Laserjets are the opposite of their inkjets, they are fully supported with CUPS.
but, it might have turned out differently, if lets say Gore was elected over Bush. Cliton/Gore Administration, were pushing for a break-up which should have happened, it did to Standard Oil, it should have happend to Microsoft. Ofcourse we got George Bush. A rich Repubican who would hate to loose the hefty amound of money that his party gets. Sure the Democrats may not be much better, but that mentality that voting for Green is a vote wasted has got to stop.
What good really has come out of Microsoft in lets say the past 5 - 10 years. Absolutly nothing. Not one good thing worth noteing exsists. I can't think of a single thing that Micrsoft has done that has benifited consumers. Now they need to protect their monopoly with DRM. I think we should rent billboard and put on them what Microsoft is doing, it's the only way people will find out before it's too late.
I haven't noticed any problem with framebuffer, however I don't use XDirectFB or anything like that. I heard the test8-mm1 and test8-love1 was a mess because of the new fbdev patch that came out, causing problems mounting drives for some people. However, I didn't use mm1 this time, I used the plain vanilla, even the 2.4 patch to raise the vesafb refresh rate worked with a little editing of the locations of the directories.
Not only pop-up free as you mentioned, I'm also pretty much spyware free as well. I checked yesterday for spyware, 3 files and two were of Windows Media Player. One spyware file since I reformated about 8 months ago.
Don't use Internet Explorer. I've noticed after I switched to Mozilla Firebird I barely get any. I just installed and ran Ad-Aware, found 3 spyware programs(well registry entries and the such). Two of which came from Windows Media Player, so really only one cookie of spyware that came from Mozilla. I use to have about 27 per day using Internet Exploder.
They won't though, people are too lazy, or are scared of change. Microsoft dominates the desktop marketshare. With that being said since they are a monopoly, there is no point to innovate because you have nobody to compete with. While people should be totally pissed that they keep getting hit with virus after virus, and should be boycotting, it doesn't make a difference to Microsoft. There has been only one sucessful boycott in the U.S. as a country, the tuna boycott.
SCO already did, and IBM told them to shove it. However I find it very funny in the fact that if SCO wins, the money won't last forever. Whose going to buy a Unix license when your threatened that your license will be revoked. There only going after commercial Linux users. So what they are going to bill much of Hollywood, that's not going to go over well.
the fact that there are people that write virus just because quite frankly, they hate Microsoft. Not only is it an easy platform to write viruses on, it's because a lot of people outright hate Microsoft, and they want to show how badly their OS really is. However even if that's show Microsoft software is poorly designed, if you compare to other operating systems it looks like a 5yearold wrote it. Then again that's what you get for hiring fresh out of college, no experiance, programmers.
Why does SCO care if IBM indemified their customers or not? Doesn't that mean if IBM doesn't SCO can go after those other companies too. Is SCO going to indemify their customers if IBM or the FSF finds GPL code in the Sys V source? That's all SCO really talks about "indemifying the customers." They aren't SCOs customers so why should SCO worry?
This could be used as a prescedent which could be used to nullify any outstanding lawsuits filed by the RIAA, and the already ruled ones, well the defendent could file a suit against the RIAA.
Its where the game is coming from for some people, Id pretty much created the FPS and with that it has a reputation and many people buy based on the reputation of the company. You know what would be really cool, if Id just released Doom III for Linux, there would probably be quite a massive switch to Linux. Wishful thinking but maybe one day there will be commercial Linux only games, when Windows is all but dead.
The cable lines running in an apartment are not owned by the utility company though. They can work on the property where they actually own the lines. They also don't pose an heath concern for the people around you or yourself. However I guess if there is a frayed wire that could start a fire but that's your problem since you own the cable running inside your house. That's why companies will charge you if the problem is inside your house not on the outside where they own the cable.
Govt. Regulations are the only way out of stuff like this, I know there are a few for cable companies, like you can't offer a service to part of a town, you have to have it avaliable to the entire town. Could someone sue over this as it's false advertising? I have Comcast and I've downloaded about 6 Linux ISOs since I've moved to PA, I don't live in the Philadelphia though, I live about 20 - 25 minutes away. Maybe there should be a regulation saying you can't do this if you market the service as unlimited. Cause really who else is there to help you, there really is no competition for things like this as you can't really going to switch to a differnet service. Satillete may be ok if all you do is surf the web but if you play games online like myself you can't use that because it's worse then a 28.8k because of how it transmits data in bursts, 56k isn't any better either. DSL is okay if can actually get it. What more choice do you really have. The only option is really the goverment to stop this abuse. That is basically what it is. It should be classified as fraud too.
He hopes to take 10 percent from the desktop market share. Neither Linux or Apple has yet to do this. I some how doubt Sun could pull this off. Linux perhaps has more marketshare then Apple but it's hard to measure since more people download Linux and they aren't required to fill out anything before they download(which is a shot in the foot as you can't measure marketshare accuartely). What really does Sun's product have over Microsoft, as far as program selection, or over all userfriendliness. I for one hate the purple look of their desktop offering, it looks like a bad fluxbox alien theme or something to that effect.

It's not Ad-Ware it's Ad-Aware, Ad-ware is what you have on your computer that Ad-Aware get's rid of.
atleast it will put out compliant HTML code. One more incentive to get people to switch.

My mom can use the Ximian OpenOffice Version, it's open office, just nicely polished, there is even a 1.1 version, now.

However, GPL'd software atleast comes with the source to fix the problems. Microsoft software does not.

Ah, RPM hell, perhaps if you install APT-RPM?
I believe IBM is seeking an injunction on UnixWare and OpenServer, because it infringes on patents that IBM owns.

That Linus "I'm a fag" Torvalds and Alan "I suck" Cox. Also looking out for us.
That's why I make an intergrated SP4 CD. None of that hotfix mess for me. 6 - 8 updates after that and 1 is DirectX.
