Okay, so I take it you're not that interested in Gentoo anyway.
Fine, more Gentoo for me! ^^
Actually, you'll have to use the LiveCD if you want a LiveCD. The Handbook makes it clear which to use as an installer, so I wouldn't be too harsh about the terminology.
Personally, I find Gentoo is really easily maintained and seldomly breaks, even when switching from gcc 3.x.y to 4.x.y or doing glibc updates. Of course, you'll have to fiddle with text file configurations. For me this is the fastest option. If this is not yours, well, use Ubuntu or something similiar, nobody forces you to use Gentoo.
But don't dismiss it because you can't figure out how stuff works as easily as on Windows. Learning curve != ease of use.
For some reason, it's called the Gentoo LiveCD. But it is mentioned in the Handbook (which is basically an installation and configuration / administration guide): http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86 .xml?part=1&chap=2#doc_chap2. As far as I understand the installer can be flaky at times, but for those cases there's the forums.
There are graphical installer cds available now. Just tick a few boxes in the installation box, prepare for a computer-free evening (maybe even go out in the Big Blue Room for a while!) and you're set...
The government is not going to offer the connection. I think it's more likely they're going to pump money into businesses that provide connections to rural areas that were without connectivity before.
There's nothing communist about the EU now, it's almost as capitalist as the US of A.
Also consider that in Europe, broadband connections are already more common and usually faster than in the USA - 6MBit/s DSL is becoming the standard where I live, and there are always more than a handful of providers to choose from.
Just because the government decides something needs improvement does not mean they'll do it the communist way.
And assuming that you turn all of the computers off for night. Because being unable to write files does not stop memory-resident programs, and if even one machine is on at all times, it can re-infect the others as soon as they are turned back on and log into the network.
But this would also require an OS-level exploit somewhere in the network stack or in the services (RPC comes to mind:)). Putting bigger parts of the system services into managed code would probably also reduce the number of bugs in those - it is much harder to make buffer-offerflow-type mistakes when you have mandatory bounds checking.
Besides, a macro exploit (or simply a suitably malformed document to insert code to the program that opens it) can easily reside in "My Documents", even if it can officially contain no executable code.
This is of course true, but then what kind of damage can the macro exploit, which will most probably still be running on the VM cause? If you don't stack multiple exploits you won't be able to do much damage to the system, only to the user's files. There's backups for that. No hooking into the registry, no starting automatically at boot and no modifying of other installed Programs.
This makes it much easier to get rid of malware, simply reboot and run a removal tool before opening any documents.
But at least they'll have no trouble keeping pages about German WWII relics from being indexed, this way.
Sorry, but this is just a misinformed bit of BS. Having grown up in past-1968 Germany, I know that we're doing incredibly much working up and reflecting on what happened during WWII.

Offshoring gone wrong?
since SVG is XML-based and XHTML provides a way to include any other XML-conformant language in a special element, yes, this is standard and any XHTML compliant browser that doesn't do SVG will simply ignore it...
Isn't the Opteron like, 100m^2?
Not really sure about the Opteron, but I recall my last Athlon XP (Thoroughbred) getting a lot hotter because die size was reduced from 120mm^2 to 80mm^2 from the previous version.
So 20mm^2 sounds a little wrong to me...

Where can I acquire this eye upgrade you speak of?
You forgot a country: The US themselves.
The dealer told me a replacement was 120 EUR, while the stereo was 150 EUR 2 years ago.
This, combined with the other crap Sony has been pulling recently means I'm getting a JVC now and I won't recommend Sony products to anybody anymore.

Here's a direct link that should set you up with one of those installer cd's (x86): http://bouncer.gentoo.org/?product=gentoo-2006.1-l ivecd&os=x86.
Happy Gentooing!

They have windows ports with GUI as well.
Don't want to be eaten? Then run away from us!
That's how things should go, right?

This honestly sounds like a corrupt memory problem.
Other possibility is that you've hard-set the windows swapfile limit...

Nope, that would've been more like (K/F)rankenstein ...

Actually, coffee contains _lots_ of electrolytes. That's why you have to pee so much from drinking coffee...
That's just like taking Ecstasy. The punishment is that your brain will turn into sponge eventually. Also no need for law enforcement...
So you think there can be reality without someone interpreting it?
RTFA, it's a collection of suit-quotes full of buzzwords...
Nothing really interesting there, just companies informing us of how they plan to improve linux so they can milk it better.
