but how much would Palladium affect developers (non-commercial, home-brewed programs)? I mean, under this system, only "digitally signed software" would be allowed to run. How would someone go about certifying their own program?, because if someone could do this, it defeats the whole purpose of Pallidum. So maybe VB Pallidum edition would certify your own code, but in the meanwhile would also certify the code of virus writers too. How about if someone writes a program in (C/C++/Perl/etc) on a (*nix/mac/sun/etc) and try to run it on a Windows Pallidum system?
The 5 ft. slide rule was intended to demonstrate to a new class how to use a slide-rule, the same way today where projector shows a class how to run a particular computer software. It'd be kinda hard to teach to a stadium of students with an actual size (~1ft) sliderule.

well, this end the arguement on whether PCs or consoles are more practical for gaming. A $299 Playstation 2 sounds quite better if you're just in it for gaming.
PDA's (as well as other PIM software) need to be smarter. Like, when I enter in an appointment at say, 3:00 why does it default to AM??? Do MS/Palm/Handspring have any idea on how the real world works? Why can't they have the hours between 6-11 use AM, and from 12-5 PM? If you happen to have a rare early morning 2:30 AM meeting, you can then change the PM to AM.
I don't know if any of you guys have the same problem, but I can't seem to copy and paste text (or any objects for that matter) between everything else on the Gnome/KDE desktop and SO/OO. This becomes a pain when trying to C/P URLS and other information to list documentation sources. Hopefully this union between Ximian and SO will clear that up.
I love my Gnome Desktop. If my Netscape/Mozilla/Opera gets out of hand with a neverending loop of window.open()s, I just move my mouse down to the little Netscape/Mozilla/Opera task icon on the bottom bar, right click and select either "Close All" or "Kill App". It works like a charm. If that doesn't work (haven't had to do this yet), I could just restart X (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and log in again.
It's bad enough we got no-brainers yaking on cell phones who can't talk and drive at the same time. They're usually driving like 20 below the limit.(if you talk and go 70MPH, fine by me). Now with the network systems not only will people be driving slow messing with all the buttons, but will now be swerving around the highway looking at pr0n.
The reason most people download mp3s is because they only want a few songs from an entire album. (there are some exceptions where someone will get the whole album). The fact is, a lot of CDs produced only come with 5 or less "playable" songs. The rest just suck. (they're just there to fill in tracks). I remember when artists made CDs that you could play straight from the first to the last track. The RIAA should do more research on why people dont like CDs and make it worth spending $12-16.99 for it instead of blaming lost profits on the Internet
In 2000, the average suggested list price of a CD was $14.02, according to the Recording Industry Association of American (RIAA). The CD itself costs about 32 cents in a large production run, according to Michael Pardo, V.P. of sales for CD duplicator Greenwood Solutions. Add packaging and the price goes to 54 cents. Add the cut for a new artist, somewhere between 10 and 50 cents,
Actually, when I had my Yahoo Account, they notified me of the privacy changes. Pretty honest to me. I still discontinued my account though, because they stopped giving free POP3 access.

The more profound question is if the flash can run faster than the speed of light, how does TIME remain absolute? Theoretically, if he runs at the speed of light for 5 minutes, wouldn't we all age 100 years while he only ages 5 minutes?
I've had Linux (RedHat) installed on my box for about a year, and it has served me well in my first year of college. I type up documents, research online, and program with Linux. I also share my pc with my bro, who's 8, and he was able to adopt the system just as quickly. I just tell him "here's your user-name and password" and he goes from there. He enters his info, selects his desktop (between Gnome and KDE), and he goes from there by himself. Today he mostly plays those KDE games, chess, and Chromium BSU, but I know the OS will serve him well as he progresses through his education....now I'm not imposing this entirely on him as my pc dual-boots w. win2k, but he still prefers Linux. (gee, i wonder why?)
So in the end, I'm tired of hearing of "adults" claiming Linux is very hard to use and "is not ready for the desktop", because it is a very functional OS and you don't have to be a programmer or SysAdmin to be able to use it. If these school districts decide to migrate to Linux, MOre power to them! Their students will be more computer literate than the students strapped down to M$.
This could prevent would-be accidents caused by chronic road-rage drivers. If the system can sense anger/rage from facial and bodily expressions, and driving behaviors like sharp cornering and spontanious accelerating, it could try to calm the driver down by changing music or cooling the cabin. If those measures don't work, the system could then reduce the available power the engine gives out momentarilly. This could also stop a drunk driver from continuing to drive...
The article said the flaw exists in an old version of the Java Engine of Microsoft's Internet Explorer...
The M$ bulliten linked on the article and here shows that
The Microsoft VM is a virtual machine for the Win32® operating environment. It runs atop Microsoft® Windows 95, 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000. It ships as part of each operating system, and also as part of Microsoft Internet Explorer. The version of the Microsoft VM that ships with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x and Internet Explorer 5.x contains a security vulnerability that could allow a Java applet, on a malicious web site to take any desired action on a visiting user?s machine.
Now, to me, Windows 2000 / IE 5.x isn't really OLD , considering that the majority of M$ users have IE 5.x. It may not be "new" like IE 6 or XP, but it doesn't mean 5.x is outdated.
I think this product is targeted towards the advanced users out there, as much of the "mainstream" users would at least think twice before buying a PC, then have to install an OS. However, most of the people I know who install and configure their own operating systems (whether windows or linux) tend to want to build their own systems themselves. Personally, I never purchase manufactured computers because I want to make sure I get "top quality" components, such as a versitile/highly configurable motherboard (like asus, i'm not endorsing). Especially when you install Linux, it's good to know exactly the hardware specs, and the easiest way to do that is to put it all together yourself.
Despite this, I feel Walmart & Microtel are doing a good job at showing that Windows isnt the only way to compute. The Microtel SYSMAR506 - Athlon 1.4 seems a good deal at around $500 for budget consious families who want to expose technology affordably to their children or for geeks who need a computer fast and cheap. It would be nice if they included both Windows and Linux drivers, but i know that 1.) Just the fact that it includes windows drivers is a much better improvement than Compaq's "recovery cd" that doesn't have drivers, and 2.) a lot of hardware is automatically detected under Linux, so it may not be necessary
