    speaking about graphic cards
    in linux i can just replace my nvidia graphic card with a next generation nv card and everything works as before
    no restarting, no need to remove drivers before taking out the card, no reinstalling drivers (except other version)
    yepp i know nv drivers are the best for linux and behind there the problems come up

    windows wan't work better if you studied it
    but your linux experience will improve with your increasing system knowledge
    and linux is improving for mid knowledge users and this rapidly
    and what will be the boost when a lot of Joe Sixpacks start using linux at work???

    on the kernel interface i agree partially
    for me the perfect way to go are open source drivers that are integrated into of the kernel
    i don't think this would hurt the hardware vendors to hard to support such a model
    maybe if you would make a binary interface would help to defeat windows
    but soon (before windows is from the table) you would be locked in by this driver interface
    lets say "every" vendor has made drivers for this binary interface and now you need to change it for the next big thing that comes in future but is not used a lot yet
    how would you bring the vendors to rewrite all the drivers for your new interface???
    then you had the choice between losing the support for a lot of the older hardware that is in use right now
    or to stay with the current interface and delay or drop the "next big thing"
    of course there are a lot of things between this two extremes
    but you would risk to create a new windows from view of stability and/or support for older/"no longer supported" hardware

    at an average rate of 925 megabits per second. Ordinary TCP managed just 266 megabits per second on the same routes.
    and then they compare it to normal broadband
    it's like taking a rocket car tune it up from say 900 km/h to 1300 km/h
    then i say we have developed a vehicle wich is 8 times faster then then the average car used to go shopping

    i think joe sixpack isn't the problem
    all they do is using their computer for surfing web and writing letters
    the problem is the user between geek and sixpack
    he wants to do things himself say install a printer, software, install new graphic card drivers maybe even replace his graphic card
    but he has no deeper knowledge of the system
    for this user linux is to complex to do such tasks (in sufficient time)
    it is the point where windows has the biggest advantage to linux

    but maybe in 20 years you run for election as President
    maybe then they have records
    maybe they are going to use the records in some way because they don't like your policy
    there are a lot of maybe's but we had something similar here in switzerland about 15 years ago
    every journey to communist countrys had been recorded and membership in labor unions and leftist partys
    for a lot of people the records were quite scary as they released them
    especially if they contain things only your good friends could have known

    ops!!!!
    wrong!!!
    they don't hate Americans ... so far so good
    but they hate your government for supporting their own repressive regimes
    then maybe they hate your cultural influence
    look at your past .... look at the indians and what you did to their culture
    they fear you could do the same to them
    terrorism is a direct result of their powerlessness
    there is no way they could defend them self by normal military means
    there is no way they could defend them self against your money
    they feel abused .... and they feel abused by you
    your government should better think about other ways to change their opinion about yourself then military force
    because the use of force will not change their opinion
    the relatives of every person your army kills are potentional terrorists
    if you want to some liberty there will never be a way to stop terrorism as you can see in israel
    i think if you look at israel and palestina this is a "good" preview to where bush policy will lead you
