I wrote her, expressed my sympathies at her unfortunate un-feminine name, and congratulated her on the apparent success of her modeling career.
I hope she writes back...I'd like to enhance her user experience even more...
I agree. That's one of the benefits of Linux over Windows. Instead of downloading drivers on Christmas day you can write them yourself!
I think the drivers for OS X are more stable because OS X is fairly new. Windows drivers have to support a legacy-laden beast of an OS. Of course, I use XP at home and love it, but you get the point...
Ignoring the fact she's a stock photo model, everything she said is true.
Of course, she's certainly referring to MacOS 9, which lived way beyond its prime. If you pit Mac OS 9, Claris Works, and NN against Windows XP, Office XP, and IE, of course XP is going to win.
On the other hand, if you compare the XP configuration to OS X, Office v. X, and IE it's going to be very close. XP has more apps and open hardware, OS X has that Unix core. Either way, if it helps you get your work done then it's the right solution.
Currently high-performance computers (supercomputers) are subject to export restrictions. Don't want the bad guys simulating their nuclear explosions in software or decrypting our secrets of course. This is an example of technology that can do a lot of good or a lot of bad depending on who's using it.
Though it's certainly impossible at this point, do you think similar restrictions should apply to projects like Beowulf? At what point does the potential for bad things outweigh the potential for good things?

Gone, but not forgotten Wow, she's cool despite her name. She's got a memory stick and a dvd drive!

She's cute but bland...I would have chosen one of these images instead:
option one ("you seem to be happy with xp now")
option two (nice pussy)
bachelorette three (chatting with me)
or four (post-assimilation)
