Linux is a nice free OS, but has never griped to be very user friendly, especially not for people used to Windows. For these people, some have tried to help with X windows system that has near look&feel as a windows machine.
So question is, how much Linux knowledge do you or your support staff have? Do you know how to troubleshoot in case something is wrong with the installation.
How much do you wanna spend on educate the teachers in use of Linux, and what about the children. Most of them are properly used to Windows installations at home, and need to know how Linux works. Evenmore if you fail educating the teachers, and they feel it is a big problem having to learn another OS, the whole project would fail.
So you need to check the background of users before deciding. The cost of an upgrade will in the beginning be placed at education rather than being a save.
What is wrong with this story. We actually give superhero suits to molds now. Mars attacks go home, the new thing is Slime attacks.

ReactOS Code Audit

Is there a market for what you're asking? A big part of the world runs Windows, and if you could get a big share of that market, like all the gamers, who really dont need much of the background stuff windows has to offer. ReactOS makes a clean neat OS upon which they can install their most essential games and IMs.
Btw. are there not a bunch of OSX theme copies out there already?
Wow, that explains why since I registered my Gmail account I could follow another guys life about his move to Norway, confirmation on his DSL line, his parents visiting him and that there were no new CPR courses until 2006.
AFAIK the problem is related that people tend to move the console from vertical to horizontal position (and vica versa).
But the manual to the xbox360 clearly states that you shouldn't move the console while disc is inserted.
So microsoft have cleared their butts on this matter?
This was actually shown on G4 (US tech based TV station) in the old ScreenSavers show, where some guy showed a program built to monitor and display requests from P2P network.
So I guess over a period of time you just collect enough information, pick out the top 10 IPs, get user information from the ISP and make a visit with local authorities, and if they find matching files on the hardware collected have your VISA ready.
As lot of threads says, you cant really judge much to the/. brief, maybe he was a victim or maybe he was clever, but what were his habits. As other says, 4 computers, DSL/Cable access and wifi, somehow this user seems a bit over the average Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Meanwhile at Paramount Pictures:
Smithers: "Mr Smedley, I'm sad to report that we cant find any trace of Coach Carter, but we did find 1000 mp3 songs of various artist and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and some unreadable scrambled data in the empty sectors of the drive"
Smedley: "Darn-ji-ga-di-duh we have to give back the computers to him, we have no logs from eDonkey regarding scrambled data"
(Smithers and Smedley are totally fictive characters)
And the conclusion, people are still using eDonkey, eventhough it is known to be another of the most monitored networks, and some users are not using tools blocking suspectable IPs.
What defines the success of a dating site? If it is the number of users, then how many of the are the same lasting and if so then the output of relationsships must be at a low, and should be defined as a socialising/sex site than a dating site with purpose of getting a relationship.
As long as world economy is running by oil, it will still take a long time before this new technology would be commercially available, unfortunaly.
Else, it would be in everyones interest to adapt this technology to every type of compatible engine, so we can avoid the Ninja Penguins attacking New York in 2010, when antartica is all gone.
As the repost properly would say. Copper can be sufficient enough, but what starts happening when in future the speeds and demands of the copper start increasing? It needs to be replaced, which means installation all over again.
With fibre, in same scenario as above, not much will change, so the same cable can be used for higher speeds.
We have several old NetVistas (6266-A7G) at work. They needed to be reinstalled for some terminal use, and the supporters could not figure out why so many would not boot, and some smelled really burned when they added power.
On all of them, 2-3 capacitors near the CD-drive had leaked or was bulging. And amazingly (especially when facing IBM with the problem) it was the exactly same capacitors on the machines. Of course IBM declined any problem, and said the machines were out of warranty and that specific model was EOL.
Depends on the intention of the badguy and how business usually is done in the companies involved along the way.
For example divert snailmail to a P.O. box, contact bank on and say you need a new credit card, the new card along with pin code would be snailmailed to you, and upon receipt you will need to activate the new card which would close the old one (which was still valid during the wait for new card). Cash in on victims account.
Now this would only be good, unless victim notices the missing mail for the time being. And if Post office nor bank consultant would require, some more personal information for issuing divert of mail and request for new card.
To add some info to your comment.
AMD delivered the Venice core (90nm), which can step the power usage to as low as 2W when idle and 25W full power (based on 3000+ or was it 3200+).
Anyways this is on a desktop CPU, and afaik I have yet not seen Intel doing the same, though I am looking forward when they switch to 65nm design.
I mean it looks beautiful and all, but as many have written, where are the stars, and for myself why does the cloud pattern in the lower part of the globe seem to stay the same?
Yes we need space weapons, maybe not for destroying irish spying satellites, but we need them to defend ourselves against aliens allergic to water and bacteria.
Now we'll just have DVD-jon crack the customized realplayer.
No seriously, though the internet do not have the bandwidth right now, I would love to see Time Warners online TV becoming global. I believe Time Warner brings far more interesting channels than my local eurotrash provider. And I would be able to see series as they are aired, and not have to wait for the "UPS-next year" delivery to local TV-stations.

How much are you willing to support?

What about a physical computer shared by multiple people?
Wow, that explains why since I registered my Gmail account I could follow another guys life about his move to Norway, confirmation on his DSL line, his parents visiting him and that there were no new CPR courses until 2006.
But hey, Gmail still carries the BETA tag.
How do you clean such a keyboard? I guess I just cant put into my dishwasher like my old standard IBM keyboard.

And here I thought it was all about emulator Wine and VIA the electronics manufacturer.

Since Apple is changing to standard Intel x86 CPUs, no.

If you're good at soldering it is just a matter of replacing them and then they are as good as new.
Yearp, can add to this.

Bahhh hate smog, hard to breath and make buildings dirty. Solution mask and self cleaning buildings.......erhh just why not get rid of smog instead?

AFAIK OS/2 only supported running Win16 applications. They never got around to do Win32.
How, NAT wont help that 1 IP-adress can only have one owner.
