Or you just run them on an OS that is wholly capable for that. Man! I love car analogies tonight. I can take my wife's (really, she won't let me replace it) 1988 Honda Accord off the road and go into the woods of Maine with it. Or, instead, I can take A BADASS TANK AND THE LEMMIWINKS ARMY!

Err, I do tend to like Microsoft products but I'm afraid your alternative is Ubuntu or sticking with XP if you can't stomach Vista..... or running Workstation 2008, WHICH IS AWESOME. Those rules? As a retired (sort of) admin? I likes 'em. Allowing TECHNICALLY CAPABLE people to install random stuff they found online and "needed?" I like that too. BUT I HATE WHEN YOU DAMN KIDS TRAMPLE MY GRASS!

I'm sorry... where did he say that he was using anything other than the spectrum already allocated by the FCC for 802.11x connections? I don't see any mention of him routing encrypted traffic or the like over packet radio.....

When you reach your limits, you punch someone. You don't shoot people. Pondscum like that deserve everything they get, plus the added privilege of rotting in hell purely for being about as big a coward as humanly capable.
Sorry to break it to you, but school shootings are in fact a PRODUCT of the sissy generation. Being picked on and picking back is a part of growing up.
Next you'll argue against the firing of less capable workers because hey... *whiny voice* they have limits, toooooooo. *whiny voice*
The mere fact that you even talk the way you do makes me wonder if humanity wouldn't be better off if your sort wouldn't just take a hike in front of a speeding Mack truck.
I'm somewhat skeptical. Solving poverty would seem better (or at least increasing the safety-net). You need well-funded primary schools for poor people to get the education they need to continue.
Sounds too expensive, but I'm with you.... therefore I propose my idea. We kill the impoverished, and feed them to those better off. Costs less money and yet still provides much-needed nourishment for those that actually contribute something to society.

Gee, the tone of that post wasn't one of "well, the material says it should fit, but I dunno".
On the contrary, it came off as being pretty matter-of-fact.
I do believe you even said "if you had bothered to read the material". You never in that post said "but I'm not sure if it's usable".
In response to your second remark: I was replying to one specific post. It's how I do things - I try to have somewhat linear thoughts. You should try and do the same. =)
Point taken. You obviously know more about Canon lenses than I do
I know enough about Canon to know why I think they're doing nothing more than spitting out garbage to amateur photographers who don't know any better than to believe the hype that comes out of their marketing department, and from the sales-droids in the local camera shop who sold out to Canon because the incentives aren't as good as Nikon's.
I continue to keep up on all the major camera manufacturers because I need to know where my money is best spent, and because when people ask me what's a better body for how they plan to use their camera, I need to be well-informed.... So far, Nikon gets the prize in most cases.
Which I didn't know, (and said so in a reply to another one of your posts) so thank you for pointing that out.
Except, I was replying to a post where you quoted marketing material claiming the Digital Rebel could use Canon's whole line.... While, you may be able to mount the lens on that body, my definition of usage runs more along the lines of takes good photographs while mounted.
Or do you not remember typing the following bit:

Yeah, I'm just a random slashdot person, but had you bothered to download the brochure from the link in my reply to your previous post, you would have found the following on page 9 of the pdf document:
"World-renowned Canon EF Lenses are favorites of professionals for their optical brilliance and endless versatility. The Digital Rebel accepts all of these lenses, (emphasis mine) from ultra wide-angle to super telephoto and everything in between, including fish-eye, macro, and tilt-shift lenses."
Might I take the time to point out that just being mount-compatible means absolutely nothing?
Or, are you saying you plan on doing TTL metering with an AIS lens on a Nikon N80? It's mount compatible, but that doesn't mean a thing. The N80 doesn't support TTL metering with old glass.
Again, I revert back to the point I made in a previous post, that canon's glass is garbage, and the fact that they have specific digital-optimized glass is a testament to this fact.
Sure, you can use the other 90% of Canon's glass on the digital rebel, but you will have issues with image quality, with the exception of their high-end glass.
From DPreview.com
EF-S lenses are designed to be used with digital SLR's (although Canon don't stretch to calling them 'digital lenses'), the rear element of these lenses protrudes further into the shutter box (space behind the lens mount) as can be clearly seen from the third image below (beside the EF 28-135 mm). Interestingly this protrusion has a hard rubber ring which appears to seal against the shutter box when the lens is attached to the camera. Remember that the EF-S lens can only be used on the EOS 300D (as no other EOS cameras are compatible with the EF-S lens mount).
Did you catch that? Tamron's Di glass is compatible with normal 35mm bodies... Canon's OWN EF-S line which they say is "specifically designed for the Digital Rebel" is only usable on the Digital Rebel.
Actually, it has to do with the quality of the rear element. While the mount is technically compatible, beware of blurring around the edges of your pics, and wicked bad barrel distortion in some circumstances. It has nothing to do with the size of the film plane.... well, it does, but it doesn't. It only really becomes a factor with cheap glass. ( Canon is included in this category. ) The smaller film plane merely accentuates the problems with cheap glass.
For example, Tamron makes an entire line of so-called "Digitally Integrated Glass". Of course, to anyone familiar with the rest of their product line, "Digitally Integrated" is just another way of saying "Less Crappy Than Normal" (tm). This is further evidenced by the fact that even Tamron says the DI lenses are just better versions of their normal glass, and are compatible with normal 35mm bodies.
Now.. Why are Nikon lenses more expensive? And why oh why can I use my same 80-200 f/2.8 or 20-35 f/2.8 on my F5, my D1, or my n90s? And why don't I have to worry about barrel distortion, or soft edges?
There's a reason Nikon glass costs more, and it's a valid one worth considering.
I don't know how I feel about this... Yeah, sure it's an interesting thought... I dunno..
As much as I love Linux, and all of the BSDs... there's a legitimate reason why people use Windows.... UNIX can be an intimidating thing for a new user....

As far as government agencies being switched to Linux - I applaud the notion.... I just don't see this proposition fixing the Windows piracy problem... Users will continue to pirate that damn OS until it's either cheap enough for them to afford, or there is a viable alternative (in their minds)...

I can honestly say that my first year out of high school, I pulled six figures, and I owe it to the availability of free (or reduced-cost) UNIXes, and variants thereof.
