Bad situation. Luckily for us in the UK, pretty soon 99.8% of all phone lines will be able to be connected via ADSL, so it's a moot point. Now all we need is for the 'cheap' pay as you go adsl services to actually get cheap so people won't have a reason to use an old fashioned modem.

The main point regarding TCO is the people who will USE the platform, and, in my experience at least, the phantom 'cost' which supposedly increases TCO is people needing retraining/tooling for the switch to the new apps/os environment. However , as most users I experience are equally incompetent, windows or $osName, there is no difference between them using a desktop environment built on OSS, or proprietary. If you're going to specifically train people to use the os properly anyway, so that they are able to use the everyday apps that they need to use to the best of their abilities, wheres the difference in TCO? specific END USER applications/ standard computing task (email, web browsing) are a moot point here, all require training unless you like the monkeys with typewriters effect in your business.
yes, but it's odd that only 2 os X proponents actually cared enough about the debate to show up. guess the rest of us just decided that getting on with our lives is more worthwhile than debating the latest flavour of kiddieware amateur os;oP

well to get around that you simply don't schedule individual vehicles, rather you have them travel as a train of sorts and schedule trains. if the vehicle isnt there 5-10 minutes (say) prior to arrival of the 'train' it cannot join that one and has to wait for the next one 30 minutes later.
well its a possibility in the uk, because the government is all but renationalising the rail network, not least the actual rail infrastructure. where it would really be useful is passenger transportation, but it's a possibility, certainly, for HGVs. The only thing that would have to be a given is that you wouldnt get individual transport companies putting their vehicles on the rails at will, more likely you would get multiple vehicles slaved together to work as a train of sorts. This kind of train would have really amazing fuel efficiency, as well as amazing acceleration and braking abilities. All the transport companies would do is have their vehicles at a freight station of sorts in order to 'catch' the next train (join the back of the train), vehicles departing the train would have to be worked out though, as this could be somewhat time consuming.
1. I have 3 machines running XP, and have seen ONE bluescreen in 2 years. 2.assuming the problems with the machine were ' fault' just because you had no such issues in Linux is oversimplifying hugely. I'd say it was more likely a serious driver issue somewhere, or a series of them, or a hardware issue or issues that do(es) not manifest in Linux (similar to certain old VIA chipsetted motherboards and windows 2000/XP causing massive data corruption and loss that were not an issue in windows 9x or Linux) and mmost likely Compaq's problem not MS's (for the record I am certainly no microsoft fanboy)
answer to that is vote with your wallet, and let their outdated idiotic nonpolicy on browser compatibility cost them cash. Moronic companies like this are the reason that the insecure web browser called Internet Explorer will be around for a long time.
'What happens when OpenSSL makes a code fix? Does it all have to be re-validated? Do they supply a signed MD5 hash that says: "These sources are authorized for compiling a FIPS-140 compliant binary"?' and this is different from a proprietary product how?
IANAL, but I believe that if the apps are being released under the GPL, then the onus is on the publishing body to ensure that there is no infringing code in the project, to this extent all contributions must be traceable to the contributor. If code in this situation was found to be infringing, then the trail would lead to whomever contributed the infringing code. If this person was found to be working for MS then I don't see how ms could continue to sue. Obviously the project would then need to cleanroom code a workaround to the infringing parts
i suggest you RTFA, the biggest worry is that this development could endanger the status of email being protected by statute as if it were snail mail. If that happens then even people like you who don't care about privacy will soon complain as email directly begets 'targetted' spam.
So, by that arguement, he may wish to murder someone on a 'personal whim', because he doesnt really care about agreeing to abide by the rule of law? get real fgs, not wanting to be shackled by unfair terms of usage does not make a person not care about things like the GPL.

computer virii are not cool. not for any os or device. you, sir, are as bad as the asshats who launch the real thing.
