Great - a computer that wants to suck your blood! hehe
When I go to the computer store I don't want to have to worry about what IQ my new computer has.
No, this is typical of someone who likes the fact that fixes for known security problems on my os are within 24 hours, and not weeks. I have to us MS, and help people use it and I hate every aspect of it. I don't hate it because I like unix, I hate it because it's shit, and anything that hurts MS is a step towards me not having to deal with it anymore.
This is a MS world right now - I don't have to like it.
Titanium siding on my house! Titanium engine parts, head, block, pistons. It's so light and strong one could build a big block engine that could turn 15,000 RPM!
Bloat and Insecurity my ass -
Bloat is as much as you install, it's still like any other distro, if you don't want a package don't install it.
As for security, for those who are concerned about it X3 is still there, and KDE, who concerned with security and stability runs that?
Mandrake is as compact and secure (if not more secure) than other distro's. I use mandrake and I use windowmaker, and no matter what distro it is I set it up the way I want it in the end.
Mandrake offers more leading edge packages, they aren't forcing them on you.
Unless you also use the IP# to limit bandwidth. Granted now for email aliases I'll have to go to normal pop3 and my customers will have to login as user@domain.com, I can deal with that, but how am I supposed to measure or shape bandwidth reliably with name based hosting?
I can't download from netscape with my linux machine - never have been able to. lftp, ncftp,ftp,netscape - doesn't matter what I use.
I can dl from mozilla fine, and I can dl from netscape fine with windows.
Owell, I don't know why I'm so anxious to use that bloated peice of crap anyway. They both crash every 5 mins, at least my netscape 4.73 stays up and running for long periods of time.
Ok, we have the people that provided the stats say this guy is full of shit, us linux people/programmers that are effected monitarily by the acceptance of linux should get a class action suit against ABC's Fred Moody!
M16 dumped on me about 4 times in 5 minutes of use. The major problems seem to be with the email, but damn. My netscape 4.7 on the other hand has dumped on me 1 time this month! I'll see how good Konquerer is when KDE2 is stable. It seems pretty nice from when I played with KDE2 beta 1 a while back.

Everyone is whining about how it wouldn't work because NSI would sue, or they would have to use different tld's. WTF?
The whole point to this would be to use newer better ideas and technology that wouldn't be so controllable by any 1 entity. What you are saying is like "Let's make a new OS, but how can we call it windows without getting sued?"
Well, you don't call it windows, because it isn't. You make a better model, like linux.
With NSI you don't stick to using bind and their root servers, if you want to protect the scheme of it you need to write either custom bind type software or a patch so bind will look at the new DNS rootservers and be able to handle the new custom data.
Don't worry about having.com.org.sex.music or whatever NSI might do, look at the pattern and chose something that is nowhere near what they will use.
If wer are re writing DNS and the rootserver we can change anything. It doesn't have to be.anything. We could do.-com.-net or something different from nsi
As for gnutella I don't think that's the way to go. Granted it keeps the power out of 1 persons hands but puts it into everyone elses. Any damn script kiddie out there could be taking down large sections of the internet by putting false info in there. There would have to be some kind of md5 checksum taking place between differnt servers on any given check.
I just wouldn't want to think what even 1 person could do if they hijacked a domain on their distributed DNS server (gnutella like). And took over something like ebay or citibank, then 50 people out there get a tainted entry for that domain and pass it on to 50 more each. ouch.

Don't use . instead of.com,.org,.net,.edu,.music use , or something like www,domain,com
While I am a huge fan of UFO and alien stuff, since I saw one at 10yrs ago. I would love to find evidence of life on other planets, the thought of bringing it back scares me. That's the stuff hollywood movies are made of. NASA brings back a microbe from mars that turns out to be a population killer disease that we don't know anything about.
www.isp-lists.com, join the isp-wireless discussion, and READ THE ARCHIVES. Figure out what equipment you want, buy it and play with it. I chose lucent becauase of the 11mbps, most are only 2. Also lucent/orinoco has better software.
You can get info on equipment from www.wavelan.com, and actual equipment from many places, www.winncom.com is good, and has good prices. I get antenna's and amps from www.ydi.com
The cost of me doing it is quite a bit more than his project since I have to relay to get around trees. Microwave has to be line of sight. However if I had line of sight between 2 networks up to 30 miles away I could use: 2 lucent wavelan cards: $150 ea 2 24db grid dish antennas: $150ea 2 40' cables $50ea. Total $700
I could save money here on the antenna's, get a couple 10dbi antenna's for $70ea, and still get 10 miles.
Figure the time going into making the stuff, and licensing (this is unlicensed stuff I use), the excellent software, stability, etc, not to mention the range and that $200 difference goes away really fast. Not to mention we'll have to see if he make it at $500.
The name of a file does not guarantee the contents of it, and therefore only actually downloading the file would prove beyong doubt the mp3 listed on napster is indeed what it is.
yeah, imagine you herf gun someone and all the valves close shut or stop where they are while the car is still rolling, pistons come up and hit valves etc...
I think Linda Hamilton (From terminator & T2) would have been more believable in a physical role, she's got the body, lips and hair already, just need more up front to match the digital lara, but then just about anyone would.
Dialup users totally violoating the acceptible use policy by running server systems on dialup accounts keeping their connection live while they are on vaction in the netherlands. So people who don't violate the policy can't get online.
Not to mention the amount of bandwidth consumption put on an ISP by this activity.
I am all for the use of distributed filesystems like this, but until someone comes out with a way for me to firewall my users ability to be a server for this stuff , I am afraid I have to firewall them all out from napster all together. I would love to allow them download ability on personal connections, and not server, but there's no way to do that.
So until that happens only my business accounts have full Inet access.

sourceforge sucks - It really pisses me off that people are still using them -they are slow as fuck!

Open software is no biggie it they did it 45 hours later! MS might not fix a bug after 45 weeks!

Not much to learn, just a lot of climbing 200' towers.

We should all get together and make our own DNS registration. Just like all the napster spinoffs, lets do a nameserver spinoff.
Amazing how important it is, drunk drivers kill someone and they don't usually lose their license for 3 years.

Why not just shut down slashdot. And to protest against drunk driving why not declare a no driving day! Hell, lets just have martial law!
