Yeah, I agree. My mates and I call it the "No To All" button. cause when you copy files from a to b and it pops up ANY message, you just want to say "No To All"
RH8 dinked with the damn window manager. Bad red hat. Naughty! So i stayed at 7.3. RH9 was a POS, so i didn't even try to install it on my main machine.
Stayed at 7.3 untill end of line, now running debian.
I just went out back to an old pentium (original, ie p1) that had (yes had, heh) a stuffed bios after a bad upgrade and the bastard is right. It took the right flash utility (some manufacturers are expecting a particular hash code for incoming files, which is only useful if both boards are same make and model) but after a bit of knob twisting i got it to boot again off this 'lifeboat' method.
This should be written in a help book somewhere under "so, you've stuffed your bios have you?"
At least Uncle Sam isn't wasting all that money on healthcare, education and infrastructure. Who cares if you're healthy, can spell or have efficient public transport. You'll be much happier that is being guarded.
I know that the DNS was designed to name network resources and this type of naming mentality is just wrong. The bad precendt was probably set years ago. Simmilar to the 'it shouldn't be www.somthing.com' but 'www.something.com.us(a?)' viewpoint.
I belive that location-based names should be more geograpically based, so when read in reverse it tells you where it is to avoid confusion.
city.state.(com, org, etc).country.
Which if you wanted to find it you look at country 'country' find the state of 'state' and look for the city of 'city'.

Who wants to see names of cities getting hijacked? We allready have enough of that with squatters and sounds-like domains.
