I realize it is much more stable now than it once was, but it still has some serious stability and memory management issue, even if they don't result in BSOD's. I suppose I am a little more critical of Windows than other OSes because even if Windows isn't all bad, Microsoft certainly is.
I seem to remember some reports a while back about municipalities using Linux as a pawn to get better licensing agreements with MS. I think I will die laughing if the French are manipulating MS in the same way.
How do you think about governments' funding OSS developments(by tax)?
I for one welcome our new funding-projects-for-the-public-good-overlords. Wait, isn't that what government is supposed to be doing anyway? Sure, the right wing may not agree, but those are the same people that want to kiss Bill Gates' ass untill it turns red.
Seriously though, just as long as governments carefully consider the licences that they will allow, I think this is great.
The pseudo dock is neat, I guess, but the really cool thing about googlex is that it has links to several of the latest google sites such as google scholar and google video that are not linked on the google front page.
Get over it. In 50 years the noisy cars of today will be considered as laughable as going to work on a horse. Progress, for better or worse, has little room for nostalgia.
12" PowerBooks have a mini DVI port that is roughly 1/2" wide and come packaged with a mini DVI -> DVI dongle. I don't know if this is a standard connector or not, but it would certainly be worth looking into if you need to cram DVI cable into such a tight conduit.
Even if such a law passes this is blatantly unconstitutional, as it violates the intestate commerce clause. I doubt even a very conservative court would uphold such a law upon appeal.

SUNW is trading at $4.22 with a volume of 41,569,401, for a total stock value of $175,422,872. Not even a quarter billoin. Ripe for buyout (Just like TiVo, Apple Records, Universal Music, etc.)
I would like to make a motion to apply decency standards to politicians. Chiefly, they should not be the bitches of businesses right wing religious groups. Turn off the fucking TV if you don't want to watch it. Dumb asses.
Since the rightest admenistration is lowering taxes and increasing spending too much money on stupid things (war, helping the RIAA, Bush's propaganda mailings) they have to make money sdomehow. What better to do than make Pat Robertson, Jerry Fallwell and friends happy, and at the same time refuse to cure real social injustices and dangers to society. I hope I can get out of this country while leaving it without a millitary passport is still legal.
Try making a decent OS that people actually like to use (don't just have to use) and piracy will go down a lot. Also, try not treating your customers like criminals. Microsofts antipiracy techniques just encourage people to work harder to circumvent them; build a better mouse trap, and someone will find a better mouse.
I'd set up a Linux koisk with a phisically secured connection to lock boxes. Mirror trusted users' data from your university's existing authentication server for authentication. Just make sure to set up your firewall to not accept any external connections.
Yet google.de still claims that is serches the same number of site that google.com does:

www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/ also claims to search the same number of sites, and China is a more dangerous place for free speech than Deutschland. I suppose that's why there is no google.cn
I'm well aware of the recent UN bashing by the United State's administration, but to be honest, does anyone take it seriously apart from them? I don't get you people.
I take exception to your implication that all Americans take our f**** a** of a President seriously, but I digress. There are certian things that the UN should be entrusted with. Organizing agreements between nations, finding solutions to conflicts, and spreading peace and goodwill are all the business of the UN. These are functions which cannot be credibly assigned to any other body on a world wide scale (except the peace and goodwill part, mabey). What is not the business of the UN is trade and specific economic issues (beyond blatant abuses that require international censure), and this is the catagory into which the internet falls. I like the idea of placing control of the internet in the hands of an international body, but the UNis not the right one. I'm not sure there exists an international treaty orginization that is right for the job (don't get me started on the G8 and WTO, bastards), so perhaps a new body needs to be established for this purpose.
I am all for putting the control of the internet in the hands of an international body but I'm not sure I would entrust it to the UN. Ultimately, any power given to the UN is at the hands of the security council, on which China has a permanent seat. China has vetoed security council attempts to condemn human rights abuses, because the Chinese government does not believe in human rights. This is the same Chinese government that does not believe in any freedom of speech (see: great firewall of China). Now, it is true that the veto power of security council members is only a negative power (one hand cannot force anything through, but one hand can stop anything), but I still cannot accept the idea in giving any sort of control over the internet to China.
I don't think that the United States should be entrusted with such power either (see: DoJ, Ashcroft's abuses, MPAA), but I am loathe to consider the alternative.
Look at our crappy, overpriced broadband services. When I read/. articles about 10 Mbps service in Taiwan for less than we pay for fscking dial-up, I really get a sence of what a backwards nation I live in.

Well that shows why you shouldn't listen to rumor mongers, doesn't it? (In the future I will learn how to read stock quote pages properly, thanks.)

Really how many /.'ers don't have broadband? This is the same group of people the managed to slashdot NASA.

From TFA: "5" or even "$" can replace the letter S
I wonder how anybody from M$ figured that one out...
He, he. Perhaps we should tax people who die of lung cancer too.
