The only thing stopping anyone is laziness. It's only going to work at 1x speed, so there's no conveinience there. You can't exactly use the CDDB lookup to get the CD's info automatically entered, you're stuck doing everything by hand. That is far too much work for many people, making this copy-protection scheme work better than many others.
From what little information I've seen, It seems to be possible to boot DS code from the GBA slot. If indeed it is, then you can use some sort of updated emulator straight from your GBA flash cart. Just an idea.
I use both windows and gnome/linux almost equally. There are times when I try shortcuts for one on the other, but for the most part, I can use each one as if I only used one. It's like driving your car to work, then using the company van at work every day. You get to know the layouts, tricks, and caveats of both setups.
Your best bet is to actually disable your internet connection in the Network Connections window. Steam will timeout much faster that way, and you can play offline with no real wait.
We are thinking of the children. Some of us are thinking of them in the oven, smothered in BBQ sauce, others are thinking of them at the bottoms of sewage-filled sinkholes in florida.
I took care of the condensation problem the easy way. I can have it as cold as I want without a problem. The fix: Live in the Desert! It's rained once since I've moved here, and the air filter in my case means dust isn't much of an issue.

A Dual Monitor Experiment
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
There was a point at which I had four monitors. When I was doing something useful, the first monitor was work, second was documentation, third was communication (email, IM clients, etc) and the fourth had system monitors. I probably have several forms of cancer now, since three of them were old CRTs that I bummed from friends. During that time, I very rarely used Alt-Tab, and only sometimes had overlapping windows. It was nice.
I usually think of it like this: One monitor is like having a school desk, two is like a nice office desk or workbench. I just went with an entire conference room.
Excessive? Yes.
Geeky? Without a doubt.
For security purposes, of course avoiding old algorithms makes sense. This is just file integrity checking, just making sure everything survived the copy operation. I don't know the exact value, but the possibility of a corrupted copy having the same MD5 hash as the original file due to an error (hardware, software, user, whatever) is probably low enough that MD5 hashing can still be used for this purpose.
Assuming the console variables aren't lying to you, you can set a few options by bringing up the console CTRL-ALT-~. I don't have the actual names at the moment, but you should be able to google for them with very little trouble.
What intrigues me about this latest argument of "no software costs" is that it's the opposite of the last salvo. Previously, the opposition had argued that free software costs more due to support and related expenses. Now it looks like they want to ignore that.
Not that I'm pointing out hypocracy or anything, it's just an interesting note.
While it is true that the workstations would probably be used for word processing and e-mail, I'd have to say that replacing Windows on the workstations is less likely than on the servers. The servers, when they have to be touched at all, will be serviced by geeks (or at least trained facimilies) who understand what they're doing. The end users at the workstations can't always be counted on to understand what they're using, and those that don't get it usually complain when something changes.
Dealing with end users could actually be pretty simple, if a bit frustrating. Install your favorite flavor of Linux across the entire company in one massive night-op, forcing everyone to "jump into the deep end." That would make them complain and make even stupider mistakes than usual, but it would be a fast transition.
Or Option 2: Install Linux on the workstations one department at a time. This way you can watch people migrate across their offices to check their email on the windows machines, as they are afriad of their own systems. As the Windows numbers dwindle, the more bold return to their systems to avoid the lines at their co-workers' computers. The stupid (more so than usual) help calls start to trickle in as they realize they don't know what they're doing and they want you to share in their pain. When the Windows machines begin to near extinction, more and more employees return to their systems, repeating and aggrivating the cycle of stupid.
So do you do it at once, or draw out the pain? It's kinda like adolescence really. It's got to happen eventually, but nobody really wants to go through it. Might as well be an early bloomer!
Oh yeah, back to the original subject. Linux on servers: Good, farily easy transition, especially if the IT dept. has any Unix experience. Linux on workstations: Good thing, probably a painful transition, but worth it in the long run.
I've since lost the link, but a friend of mine (At CU in Boulder, CO) is putting together the main software package used on a small satellite. If I remember correctly, he's using at least some linux stuff on it... Something like that anyway. If indeed it is running Linux, once it lanuches it should set some sort of record for the highest use of Linux.

American's like a Republican government because...
There is one thing we don't do well, and that's education. You'd think with so much power we'd be able to concentrate on teaching people the difference between possessive and plural nouns.
Definitely a valid point. I'm not sure on the numbers, but it looks like there are a lot of paid surveys that show X is faster than Linux. Every time someone goes in and starts tweaking the Linux code, it makes those accusations harder to prove. Even if those accusations are based completely on the patterns in the crack lines, a cursory investigation (at least) of the Linux code involved can improve the entire situation.
we ARE a nation under God by virtue of the fact that most people DO believe in God...
You do have a valid point there. No offense, but I'm glad you're not a zealot like so many vocal Christians. Thanks for the discussion. Kinda rare here these days, isn't it?
Excellent point. However, I was referring to the anti-GM people as those that want it kept locked away, never to be touched again. Moderates such as yourself are usually more accurate anyway. Taking a full-scale deployment cautiously is a good idea. And if evidence proves it nessecary, restricting it to only fringe uses could be beneficial as well.
I'm just a bit wary of those that would try to hide or FUD certain research out of existance.

I'd hate to have people steeling my material. I haven't been working out much lately and I doubt I could lift that much metal.
Um, yeah...Did you get the memo? Next time, try not to forget the cover sheet, ok? Thanks.

I don't mean to put too much of a damper on this intellegent discussion, but I really enjoy the association of Windows' source code with a car wreck.
OpenReligion...Nah, doesn't sound right. OpenOsiris? BSDBuddah? GNU/Jesus? This could go somewhere...
