then you don't know enough about programming to be considered an expert by the rest of us.
There's often an obsession attached to the definition by those of us that consider ourselves hackers. If you stay up until 4 am with school the next morning, working on a program for no profit or wage, you can consider yourself a hacker.
Exceptions include VB programmers, or |-|@X0Z, and those that break into computers using exploits written by others, where targets are chosen because of apparent vulnerability, aka script kiddies.
Breaking into computers is NOT an essential part of hacking, that's a misunderstanding by the media. Then again, is "ya'll" a valid contraction in the south-east?
MSIE cheats in two ways, first by violating the TCP standard, leaving zombie httpd processes and pretend connections already exist for better performance with IIS.
The former means that you are ALWAYS dealing with the bloat of MSIE, even if you aren't browsing. The latter is invalidated by the effects of most routers. MSIE at work is pathetically slow, and no other browser compares the blinding speed of lynx.
Opera is my current browser, for no particular reason other than its conveniant mail client. It's reasonably faster than mozilla, but chokes on a few sites (ebay.com for one) and loses any semblance of speed.
if you purchase a license from SCO, you are directly violating your license from Linus. Given a choice between the two, I'd assume that Linus has a few more lines of code in the kernel than SCO does.
SCO is also violating the Linux copyright by distributing it outside of the GPL, I see another trillion dollar lawsuit on the horizon. I bet Linus's "look at me, I'm rich enough to own all of you" house will crash a lot less than Bill's.
then why not a generic commerce patent? Should the person that first started selling water be able to patent that? Should I be able to patent overclocking graphing calculators as a business?
Whatever happened to the 20% different dealy, whereby eBay isn't affected because its code (the way it works) is 20%(100%?) different from the subject of the patent? This is why software patents are so moronic, any re-implimentation works differently, or falls under the original copyright.
I am on a small ip block, with losers that catch the latest winshit worm and start spamming every few weeks.
Because of this, AOL has blocked my mailserver despite 7 requests to whitelist it (3 from myself, 4 from AOL victims^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hconsumers). It gets whitelisted for a few days, then group punishment kicks in and it's blacklisted again.
I have never spammed, I never intend to spam. Getting accused of sending half a billion unrequested emails in half an hour from a upstream as small as mine is both hilarious and insulting.
Fighting spam is one thing, blanket bombing to prevent spam is quite another. If anyone at the evil empire's apprentice is reading, "Hope you're glad that my dad left you because of your stunts. See you in court."

Mac OS 9 and Linux have the edge on Winshit's gui once again with rollup windows, where double clicking a titlebar shrinks a window to just said bar.
Does the evil OS have virtual terminals? Hell, does it even support serial terminals by default?
I think the biggest turning point for Linux should be the processing power it can offer business users with OpenMosix. If you merge all of the computers in a building, the idle ones can give processing power to the oness in use. If my school did this, they would be able to avoid buying any new equipment for half a decade.

Gentoo was too incomplete for my taste. I use Debian (Sid/PPC and Sarge/X86), OpenZaurus, OpenBSD, and my own custom-made bootable Linux disc.
When I get a G4 or Sparc64, I'll give Gentoo another shot.

I assume that traditionally, Linux just dominated both, with the DSP threads forced to fight with Linux threads for dominance of clock cycles.

I would give a long winded explanation in binary, hex, or base-42, but the lameness filter prevents it. (Belgian censorship garbage...)
