Typical of Slashdotters. When someone makes a valid comment about your beloved Linux you have to mod them down. Linux is still not ready for the average desktop. Get over it and get programming.
The least they could do is put a white sheet or tarp on the ground so we can see the darn snake. The green snake 'flying' over green grass is hard to see.
Even though there is ample evidence of this story being a Dupe, SCO's lawyers will claim it is their original story and claim Slashdot is violating their copyrights to the story.
I emailed Linare about USB ports. They replied back today:

Sure, I was just about to buy the Linespire laptop and this news breaks. Now I have to decide which is better.
Define 'Better':
Hardware specs: Looks like the Linare laptop has better hardware.
OS: To me the Linspire OS is better and has many more apps ready to go.
Does Linspire run on the Linare laptop? That would be a good match? The worst case is I buy the Linare laptop. If Linare sucks then I can install another Linux of my choosing. At least the hardware is good.
Does this work against the cops radar guns? If so want to paint my car with this stuff. I'll just have to put a good clear coat over it to keep it from washing off.
Back in 1992 I wrote a flash card program for a girlfriends daughter. I used a non-M$ BASIC language that has a compiler (ASIC I think).
I still have the program and source code if we need to show prior art to the id10ts at the USPTO. The program worked by displaying the letter or number (real big) the kid press on the keyboard. It also had basic shapes and colors (i.e. red triagle blue square, yellow circle etc.) It was interactive with he kid and parent.
I hearby patent cows farting. Every farmer that has a cow that farts must pay me a penny for every fart.
Asshole? Well then I'll just outsource all my computer and programming needs to India. I'm only planning on doing what the stupid liberals in this country want me to do and now I'm an asshole.
Not racist at all. I said American Citizen. It does not matter to me what country they may have been from in the past. If they are now a citizen then I'll consider hiring them. There is no race requirement to be a U.S. Citizen.
I for one am using my IT and business skills to start my own company. I'd rather trust myself for my future employment.
Also, I don't want to be a programmer in five years. I've coded enough since 1996 and I'm sick of it. Time to move on. Owning my own company is the logical route for myself. I've witnessed enough dot bomb companies from the inside to know how not to run a business.
As I start to hire the people I need, I will make sure to hire American Citizens in the U.S.A.
More of us IT people that have business skills should do the same. More small companies that hire local employees helps the economy faster and better than stopping a few large companies from sending jobs overseas.

** NEWS FLASH ** We are all going to die. Get over it! The number one cause of death if birth. If you don't want to die then don't get born.
Well, if you took 5 secconds to resaerch this you would find out that were going to make Rum!
Isn't that PAPER's big selling point, that it'd retain its image without having to constantly be refreshed?

"It's like all things linux. It works, but it takes time and energy to get it to that stage. He really should have researched before buying."
Before buyng which Linux or the Wi-Fi card? I would suggest not using Linux for the desktop. It's great for servers, but it's not user nice.
Nope, they are not important at all. Unless of course your an America hating Liberal/Socialist/Democrat.

Yeah, bite me. I read tons here worse than this by you people about conservatives.

Gliding is still flying. Ask any glider pilot.

I have last years t-shirt. It's much better, but there marketing plan still works. I bought something today just to get the free t-shirt this year.
Maybe Apple should pay Jon to build a better DRM. At least he'd be doing something legal for a change.
"vi is vi, not vim, and you get sh, csh or tcsh instead of bloated bash"
I have bash on my FreeBSD installs. vim is in the ports collection. So it doesn't install everything by default. That's a good thing isn't it?

Happy user of FreeBSD, Slackware, Solaris 10 and OSX. I still have Windows 2000 Server to remind me why I use the others.
Maybe it's really a trojan horse and hords of attackers are going to swarm out and take over the park.

huh? * 1.8Ghz/256Mb/40Gig * Not enough power? Maybe if your a gamer. I run all sorts of apps on my 500Mz desktop running Slackware 10 & KDE 3.x.x.
This little laptop should be a screamer for what most people do with laptops (business apps, web surfing, and email).
So Wal*Mart will be selling two laptops with linux flavored OSes.

Why is this needed? You ever hear of competition? More than one book can't hurt.
LXIV is the proper Roman Numeral for 64. But most of the mindless masses wouldn't know that.
