While I can understand the painful nature of your situation, we still cannot comply with your demands^H^H^Hrequest. However, let me offer you a solution to your problem. Up here we have this fantastic invention called BEER. Your northern colonies may have heard of it, if they traveled further north from time to time. It's quite good actually, and definately will help to ease the pain caused by any expatriates from your Northern sibling.
As a Canadian citizen, I respectfully decline your offer. We feel it is in our best interest to encourage Celine to travel abroad these days.
But hey - thanks for thinking of us!

Heh...my experience has been to hear computer neophytes use the term 'hard drive' to mean the entire computer.
You are playing on a common misconception about air traffic controllers. They don't crash airplanes - pilots do. The job of an air traffic controller is less to do with flying safely than it is to do with getting the maximum use out of a runway. The faster they can bring in and send out planes, the better they like it. Safety becomes more of a backdrop, as it is ultimately the pilot's responsibility to fly and land the plane safely.
The problem with that approach is that oil isn't nearly as efficient at wicking away heat from the processor, nor able to cool down as easily as water. It's a fantastic lubricant, which is why it is in your car's engine, but notice it doesn't live in the radiator for precisely these reasons.
My statements come from the shared experience my wife and I have had with her immigration process from the US to Canada. We are 4 years into the process and although it is mostly complete now (still no Perm. Resident card!! ARRGGH!) it has been fraught with delays and contradictory statements from within various branches of the government. Neither of us have criminal backgrounds, health problems, or anything else to complicate the process. If I had chosen to immigrate to the US instead, it would have been less costly and much quicker to achieve the same goal.
If by reasonable immigration policies you mean 10X more costly than US immigration, a multi-year, non-informative process that prevents you from international travel (even crossing the US/CANADA border!) then yeah, things are pretty reasonable with immigrating to Canada from the US.
You could say the same thing about golf. But to say that you have to be in top condition to get any gain from these products is not true. It IS easier to ride a lighter bike, no matter how fit you are. Sure, your buddies could forego the pizza and shed pounds from the middle, and yeah, it would be easier to climb the next hill....or they can spend the cash and have an easier ride without the hassles of giving up pizza. This is a trend you see everywhere.
However, SOME windows users are not techno-neophytes. SOME windows users are absolutely ready to switch to something more reliable. SOME windows users are used to deep diving into the registry, used to setting up secure firewalls, have installed open source programs (such as Firefox) on windows, and SOME users are tired of having an insecure box on the net any longer.
These are the users this article is targetting and for them, it is completely relevant. Why can't you see that?
How about YOU implement DHCP, if it is so vital to you? Mr. Jobs DID just open the code base, after all, in part for that very reason.
I mean honestly - you whine that it needs to be open so you can code the changes you need, and then you whine when it's finally opened because it doesn't have the features coded for you in advance?
But more to the parent's point, OSX could be run Darwin-only, AKA BSD-style command-line interface. The bloat can be stripped out of OSX just as easily as it can for linux. Additionally, the user would have the comfort in knowing that his render farm is using the same OS as the workstations used to control it.
As other respondants have suggested, I guess it would come down to which OS supported the entire collection of desired applications for the job.
I was kinda thinking along the same lines - a good percentage of songs pushed by the RIAA today are nothing but glossy commercials, but not just for the artists's albums. They push Nike Air force ones, all sorts of cell phones, fancy cars and SUVs, designer clothes, etc. Hell, it's more of a lifestyle advertisement these days.
Now the only real problem I see here is where the RIAA then charges the 'advertising' expenses back to the artist. If Nike was to pay to play a song pushing their shoes, would the artist be similarly impacted?
Except the problem is they noticed people were going to the RIGHT. The testers were bypassing the window, not choosing the door, and heading for the lasers and machine guns.
What the developers were failing to realize is that in a game situation, it is sometimes fun to do the stupid thing. Player makes a quick save and then proceeds towards the machine guns, kamikaze-style, just for the hell of it.
I was thinking of using it to tell the car beside me that their 'gas cap is open', or to 'check trailer' when the load becomes untied, etc. I can see this as a real hit for the public transport crowd, especially on trains or subway systems.

I appreciate the warning, thanks :)

So tell me again what the advantages of Proprietary sofware are over open source? I thought the whole point was to keep it secret for security.
Everyone knows that the increases in minimum requirements for a new game are done on a logarithmic scale.

Funny thing about the Tour de France though...automobile traffic is SO not an issue.

At least it wasn't modded Insightful...

Yeah, he called it "Slashdot." Talk about code-speak.

no, but the AC linux bashing CAN be traced back to Darl...
