It's fairly common at Amusement parks for people to travel in groups, not alone. The Segway seems like a mostly solitary means of transit. I just can't visualize two adults and three kids all on Segways, being something Amusement parks would want moving around as a unit.
You're thinking of 'The Sims At Peace Rally' where the Trotskyites sell newspapers, while the hippie-wannas relive yet one more time a myth of what 'The Sixties' were 'really all about.'
Within that game is a parody subplot which includes your bullet points. The key, though, is that it's a flashback sequence, like on Gilligan's Island, of something that never was.
They've flown for 22 years. Imagine what the mileage is? Somewhere in the millions, maybe even billions.
Each shuttle launch is ten miles up, and then ten miles down. The rest is just coasting. So the mileage is in the thousands, not anywhere close to the millions.
Any typical install is going to include both, as well as a bunch of other applications.
I would paste in a whole collection of links from Linux advocates of the past about 'needless bloat' but that kinda thing seems to be out of fashion these days.
That's not the answer he was looking for. The answer is twelve. Yes, there are twelve desktops in the 'enterprise' this 'KDE Success in the Enterprise' article was written about.
What I really wish we weren't missing out on (because we're not a 'fly on the wall' to watch it) is all the slashbots who read the summary, and point their bosses gleefully to this article about 'KDE Success in the Enterprise.'
Boss doesn't waste ten seconds reading the Slashdot comments, goes straight to the article. He quickly notes it's an 'enterprise' of 12 users.
What he says next to 'slashbot' his employee is the good part.
Yes, but the Urban Legend is that GM bought the streetcar line in order to shut it down.
And believe me, those huge riots of angry people protesting after GM shut down the line were bloody affairs. Completely covered up by the same media that's covering up the fact that GM just went out and bought the Mass Transist System and tore it down, at their loss.
It was a few years ago that I stood in line at CompUSA in front of a woman with a crying little boy. He was sobbing and putting up a fit because she wouldn't buy the game he wanted. She kept saying 'it doesn't run on a Mac' but he didn't understand.
Maybe Apple should put out a commercial: 'Macintosh: The computer that can make a small boy cry.'
'The Rest of Us' are not interested in running a single-source, closed-source operating system from a vendor on single-sourced hardware that costs more.
Apple should stick to what they're best at, which isn't Computers.
A big part of the problem, actually, is that people seem to think making copies of mass media recordings, audio and video, is 'The Internet.'
I would say that the 'MP3 phenomenon' itself, to the degree that it isn't people making their own works available on that format, is highly damaging to 'The Internet.'
If the Internet is going to grow and prosper as an open 'Commons' people need to quit shoving the same collection of commercial recordings back and fourth to one another. The bandwidth being consumed by this form of Peer-to-Peer content makes the bandwidth consumed by spam look like a trickle.
Even the Tab Window Manager has a menu. You click the mouse on a blank spot on the desktop and a menu of options pops up. Which exists in a single text file, easily edited. FVWM is a better choice than Tab, though. And almost as lightweight. It's not a standard X app on every machine with X everywhere, like TWM, though.
IBM's Legal Department was made to hurt, a lot, by the Anti-trust case that was lodged against them in the 1970's. They're not invulnerable.
However, they're on Our Side Now so we won't continue, over and over, to refer to them as Monopolists to trump all arguements, like some zealots do with regard to Microsoft.
No, the claim you are making is: 'No self-repecting co. ought to license it's code under the GPL and expect other code that belongs to them that some other third party slips into the code that they happen to distribute to not be revealed and become community property under the GPL.'
That whole arguement will Drive Away participating companies that want partial involvement in GPL licensed projects.

They don't even bother putting a women's restroom in that theatre, huh?
You're right. Back To The Future was a popular mainstream movie that ordinary people could relate to somehow.
Critical power plant computers do not belong on the public Internet. Generally they are not online on any publicly available network connection.
But it's just another Hollywood flick, of course.

Red Hat 4.3 came out later than 1996, I think.
And Red Hat 4.3 was really about the last version of that flavor of Linux that didn't promise things it couldn't do. It just worked.
The nearest commercial zone is less than a mile away. The nearest WalMart is less than three miles away.

It's gotta be pissing off the French, German, and Russian nationalists.
Please check your pan-European jingoism at the door.
In case you never read the original comment thorougly:
Truly, the GNU worlds' greatest example of the american dream -realised!
'american dream' is a metaphor for a 'strive and succeed' thing. Nothing more.
They are all abbreviations for something that has meaning.
What does OGG stand for?
Hell no. We have 4.9 acres and paid less for it than a two bedroom condo costs in most Metro areas.

Or maybe not.
Do you really think the cyclists want some yuppie wobbling along on a Segway in front of them in the bike lane?
'Well designed city' conjures up images to me of a committee of people sitting down and deciding how people should live their lives.
Umm, it kinda makes me shudder.

I recently got fully OSX'ed and think this new NeXTStep is a severly dumbed down and spray-painted and obfuscated Frankenstein.
It's the best Apple could come up with, though, it seems.
