What you don't realize, ye of little clue, is that you can use existing boxen to do this task. Instead of spending $300 for a brand-new Wal-Mart computer, I can use an existing Pentium II system to make a lightweight access point.
The total cost is less than that of a so-called "commercial" access point, and is infinitely more flexible. Can you run open-source software on that crappy Microsoft router? I knew you couldn't.
Just ask Michael Moore. In his factual documentary Bowling for Columbine, Moore utilised a cartoon to show Americans how guns have shaped their history.
Michael Moore is the only voice of reason in America today. I wonder what he's up to.
X.org is not actually a windowing system. When you start it up, it merely berates you for having software installed that is free as in beer but not free as in speech you freedom-hating fucktard who should be LARTed with a cluestick. Then it core dumps.
If you'd like support with X.org or any Linux product, please GTFO, RTFM, STFW, and STFU. Thank you.

Could you please look that up in the Oxford English Dictionary? I don't trust so-called "American" dictionaries to tell me what is and what isn't a word.
Proper English speakers use the word "antidote," not the phony American creation "anecdote."
I'm sorry that the Microsoft spokesdroid thinks otherwise, but I'm already running Windows XP Service Pack 2. See, their so-called "antipiracy" measures consist of comparing your software's key with a "list of known keys." I simply downloaded a fresh key off Usenet, used TweakXP to change my key, and then I installed a special pre-release copy of Service Pack 2.
Those "assholes" of which you speak are executing their Fair Use rights under section 432.5(f) of the United States Code. For example, I was considering whether or not to deploy the Windows 2000 Datacentre Server in a large datacentre. To test it out, I liberated a copy from Guntella. Is this illegal? If so, string me up.
Of course it's legal. It's only FAIR that I get to USE the software before deciding whether to buy it.
For the same reason why "Survivor" has lasted nine seasons, and that "The Real World" has lasted 14 seasons. Americans love watching other Americans to make them feel marginally less stupid.
Frankly, I'm boycotting all these shows as part of my all-encompassing boycott of American "entertainment."
Frankly, there is no satisfactory spreadsheet program for Linux. You may scoff at some of Excel's features, but there is a massive demand in the finance industry for:
Spreadsheets that can contain up to 65,000 rows. OpenOffice tops out at 32,000. If you could go even larger than that, even better.
Proper automation. Large companies depend on VBA macros to parse huge amounts of data.
Interoperability with other programs. Using VBA, Microsoft has exposed an extensive API for Excel. Can you script OpenOffice to do various tasks from outside the application? No? Do it or die.
Integration with collaboration services. OpenGroupware is still in the formative stages, and CVS is not suitable for binary files. Make something that finance guys can use.
Your clientele for a spreadsheet app is very experienced with Excel -- more so than you are with C. Do everything right and don't resort to childish open source preaching when people complain. I'll be counting on you all to deliver enterprise-quality solutions.
What FUD. The recent nightly builds of Samba do support NT 4.0 BDCs as well as multi-master opterations necessary for Active Directory. My organisation no longer needs to rely on a single domain controller for each domain, nor does it need to use a sloppy hack with replication.
Of course the box is reliable. What do you think it runs -- Windows?!
As a certified cybersecurity consultant, let me be the first to tell you that libraries represent an enormous growth market for Linux. I showed the librarians how they could save over $15,000 by migrating just 30 workstations and terminals to Linux.
Patrons used Windows-based kiosks that required at least a Pentium II 350 to run. By switching to a specially-tailored version of Linux that runs a lightweight X server with no window manager, we improved performance 500% without any new hardware investment!
The librarians were downloading spyware using Internet Explorer -- and never realising it! We saved a huge amount of time and frustration by using Mozilla Firefox on Linux on their workstations. Because Linux doesn't support the notion of spyware, their computers always perform beautifully.
Want to upgrade 500 computers automatically? With Debian or Gentoo, you get mature package frameworks for free. With Windows, you have to shell out $20,000 plus the cost of an MSCE to set up a Software Management Services server. Furthermore, the high volume of Windows security patches is compounded by the extreme urgency to apply them. My library could have been 0wned several thousand times over had it used Windows. Linux is far more secure.
For more information, purchase my report, "Linux in Libraries: cost savings for the modern enterprise." It's only $58.99 while supplies last.
"But then, I hear you say, it's free, what do you want for nothing? Well no, it's not free actually, not for well-heeled Mac users anyway. archei.com charge $29.95 for the downloadable 'package' or $49.95 for a CD-ROM to circumvent the 'compiling' part."
Honestly, this luser is completely clueless and is in need of a LART. He paid $30 to download the GIMP?! What a loser! I can't believe that any of you would believe such an article, let alone read it.
According to a search on Lexis/Nexis (paid search; subscription required) Claria Corporation donated $10,000 to Mozelle Thompson's campaign and WhenU.com donated $20,000.
This shall not stand. I'm prepared to take action.
So if 30% of the 100 million Pepsi promotional songs were redeemed then it's still possible that Apple has hit it's 100 million songs downloaded in the first year mark.
So tell me again how Apple met its goal of 100,000,000 songs. Maybe someone will redeem twenty-five million songs between now and April 30, when the promotion ends.

No, I'm pretty sure it's "antidotes." Perhaps you should throw away that American "English" dictionary and start reading a real English one instead.

Come on, Michael. I bet someone stepped on your foot in the park. Give us something good to lambaste you about, you dirty thief.
Those "assholes" of which you speak are executing their Fair Use rights under section 432.5(f) of the United States Code.

Of course it's legal. It's only FAIR that I get to USE the software before deciding whether to buy it.
Why cant anyone make something like this?
Because people want to see actors that look like this instead of like this.

Yes, we can. America has tapped all of the major backbone routers in the world. We control the flow of information.
Of course, you wouldn't know anything about that. Go back to your meaningless existence, citizen number 9047434.

So if 30% of the 100 million Pepsi promotional songs were redeemed then it's still possible that Apple has hit it's 100 million songs downloaded in the first year mark.
Yes, "if."
Apple Computer said Wednesday that about 5 million free songs have been given away through a Pepsi promotion, far fewer than the 100 million tracks that could have been redeemed.
So tell me again how Apple met its goal of 100,000,000 songs. Maybe someone will redeem twenty-five million songs between now and April 30, when the promotion ends.
