I know a person that was forced to use Linux at work (now she's forced to use Windows, just like me). Altough she isn't a computer expert (ok, she doesn't even know how to click "next - next - next" and have a piece of software installed on Windows), she does nothing but complain on how restritive Windows is.
I think it'd be quite hard to choose one link labbeled 'Linux' from a few hundred ones at kernel.org. Also, there are huge differences from Linux 2.6 to 2.4 or 2.2, one really would fear getting the wrong one.
For the end user, who cares? My wife uses Debian, and always call it 'Linux'. Do you think that she is concerned about the kernel version?.
That would be a nice explanation if ISO followed their rules. But they didn't, they changed the rules on the middle of the process atempting to let it keep going. If they didn't change the rules, OOXML would be rejected at the first voting session.
Now, why the second set of rules is so important, and the first set so irrelevant?
Try Eiffel if you really want a language that learned from Java's mistakes. C# is a simply copycat, with an added set of problems and few small corrections.
Walk to the garage (2 minutes), start immediately (0 minutes), park within 3 minutes of your destination. Seems like I just saved 7-12 minutes of my day.
Of course you saved time, you forgot to turn the car on and drive it. And don't forget about the congestion times if you are driving at hush time.
How much space and weight will storage of 34 megajoules of hydrogen take?
Considering that it is more efficient, not much more than gasoline, but you'll need a huge fuel cell to power a car.
Anyway, plug-in hybrids make too much sense (being them gasoline-battery or hydrogen-battery). I simply can't understand why they aren't comming faster).
By stating that those windows don't jump in your way, you are simply telling us that you are used to them. Tell me if you can continue working while one of them is oppened? Don't they require your attention? None of those apply to open-file buffers of Emacs.
As a previous poster already stated, all that carbon does go again into the atmosphere. But that isn't much important, since we burn much more carbon to produce a crop than there is on the crop itself.
And, then, the natural gas burned to fix nitrogen is not recycled at the end of the process. I can't even imagine where did you take that info from. Methane is used as an energy source, how can you recycle an energy source?
If Microsoft didn't put a Yes/No or Allow/Cancel dialog in front of users so often, they would read the ones that appear.
In fac, at DOS times, people used to read them very carefull, because getting a Yes/No dialog was a treatening thing and people were (rightly) afraid of them.
You don't search online because Vista is bloated to the gills with decades worth of old drivers.
To be fair, that is like Linux (in fact, Linux comes with even more drivers than vista). But it is only bloat once you start executing those drivers, otherwise, it only increases the size of the installer.

I reluctantly have to say that if we want to avoid writting unnecessary code, we should abolish emacs, not vi.
I'll miss it :(
By that time, Microsoft didn't have that strong dominance on the market.
Now, they can (almost) get away with it.

Too bad they missed Skype's groth...

I respect them for a single reason: If you ask for a RFC compilant system, you risk getting pigeons.
That way, everybody has to think about what they are buying.

I maintain that every 10 years old software (that includes Linux) and every 20 years old book, music and movie should be public domain.
That doesn't mean that I think Linux 0.01 is dead (I used to think untill you corrected me), it is just unrelated to that.
Wins lots of libraries :) Thanks, I didn't know it, and will take a look.

I agree, Linux from 10+ years ago should be public domain too.

They also don't measure their height on feet (nor foot).

You know, that people that keep repeating that this year isn't the year of Linux on the desktop.
Because we only need to send it far enough to know that light couldn't go from one end to the other during the tiny inaccuracy of our clocks.
You can be sure that there will be at least one distro aiming any ninche, no matter how small. By the way, wasn't Linux only good for the server?
Global warming is completely explained (and very easily so) by current natural laws. It was even expected berfore it was measured.
But they aren't very talkative.

Hey, a list of bash builtin commands!!! I didn't know that. Thanks.

Yes, they did. You can't download it now (unless you pay, of course), and can't distribute due to trademark issues.
We'll always have CentOS, but I'm quite afraid because people around here like RH so much.
