That's hardly surprising. Considering that most of these applications are installed via the windows-update site... I doubt you could even maintain a session without sending information back to the web-server.
Oh, give me a break. Gwenview - sucks completly compared to something like ACDsee. (90% of the other linux apps are mere rip-offs of ACDsee) Picasa - I like the windows version, didn't know they had a linux version. Okay! You win this point. but... A single app in 2007. and we're just talking about image browsing.. not something fancy.
Office - these MS-Office clones you mentioned are crap. why? because they can't inter-operate with the rest of the world flawlessly. I don't care that microsoft is to blame for closing the format... My professors sometimes send out home-work and papers in word or visio, or lecture notes in power-point... i need these to work! i don't wanna meddle around with things.
and don't give me apt-get install msttcorefonts. In gentoo it's called microsoft true type fonts or something. its not the font that's bad.. i suspect it has to do with the X-Server. when rendering small fonts it just seems blurry. not as sharp and pretty as in windows.
and if we're at it with X - until the composite extension came out, you couldn't even drag one window over the other without forcing a full repaint - Slow as hell! but composite is SO unstable it's barely usable. these kind of small things make you wanna give up.
Not to mention the horrifying ordeal i had to go through just to set-up my legacy atheros card. madwifi-ng broke it. madwifi-old stopped compiling on kernels over 2.6.19... i manually patched the driver just to get basic things going.
I am the parent. I am not a troll.
I've been using gentoo for years. The only thing keeping me in linux is the ideology. philosophically, you can only trust open-source software... that and work. I'm a kernel driver developer.
But i'm getting really frustrated with the utter lack of support for basic things.. When you combine that with fanboys flaming vista... it's very annoying. First get BASIC things right with linux before you flame MS windows.
You can stay with that ol' linux box that doesn't have a single decent image-browser, dc++ client, office suite,... etc. Not to mention decent looking fonts (anti-aliasing in linux is light-years away from cleartype - seen the major distros, xorg 7.1 w/latest kde - it's still crap)
I don't mind paying for good 3rd party apps. just that they don't exist for linux.
I know. I've been using gentoo for several years now.
They can just do a "ghost" or... "dd" from a working machine... no problems there.
But then again, what will gentoo's advantage be?
for an enterprise.. users aren't really supposed to install and recompile new packages...
so the whole portage thing which is in my opinion, the crown jewls of gentoo (that and the community forums...)..
what is there left to justify gentoo?
I wouldn't be surprised if no OS was used at all and the bandwidth was measured by some sort of hardware network analyzer taking data directly from the cable.
Also, this is probably raw data throughput, without any protocols as overhead on top of the payload: i.e. the entire Ethernet frame size including headers was taken as the basis for what is considered "data transfered" (- if Ethernet was even used...)
You're missing the point. People would not lie to themselves. He KNOWS he used his sense of smell. that is enough.
That makes this whole research quite obvious to anyone who ever.. well, experience life. I can think of a handful of times i used my sense of smell to locate something. Even if it's just a "pointer" in the direction i needed to search - and the rest was done via other senses and deduction.... it's enough to make the point that I used my sense of smell to track something.
"at all costs"... within the boundaries of the law.
Coming from a country where most of the major infrastructure (electricity, telephone, water... etc) is owned by the goverment, I can tell you one thing for certain - Capitalism is an increadible proccess optimizer. A competitive market's benifits overcome it's limitations by several orders of a magnitude.
If that's what you fought the cold war for... then it was worth every effort.

... So why should corportations?
Most Consumers, barely consider privacy implications when purchasing software or signing up for services. Most Consumers, will easily hand out their personal information when signing up to a service, as long as it does a good job at providing it.
See for instance, GMail. A privacy nightmare, yet it's a damn good web-mail service. Most people won't bother with privacy. period.... Do You own a GMail account?
How can a simple "Slit" allow for only one wavelength to pass through?
Wouldn't this pass all wavelengths shorter than a given wavelength which is proportional to the slit's width? (This is more like a low-pass filter than a band-pass)
Well, you see... There's this tiny problem with your plan: For it to work there, i.e. in the north and south of Israel, it has to be deployed there in the first place. Currently, it is not being used in any part of Israel. So, you won't see it stopping Catushas or artillery shells or anything else for that matter.
Israel helped research and test the thing, but never deployed it around her borders. As everything else in Israel, that's more because of the lack of proper funding, rather than functionality or maturity of the system.
Just to point out, There is no such thing as "Ohm's Law", in the sense of a "Law". It's just a rough estimate to Maxwell's Equations under certain conditions. Which, themselves are rough estimates to behaviors described by Quantum Mechanics.

Yum and apt maintain versions for packages. not specific patches for specific bugs and specific hardware.
Big Difference.
Some apps, require "validating" your copy of windows before installation.
Windows Defender for instance, comes as local executable - but obviously, the WGA authentication is remote.
probably a non-issue anyway.
That's hardly surprising.
Considering that most of these applications are installed via the windows-update site...
I doubt you could even maintain a session without sending information back to the web-server.
I say: nothing to see here, move along.

Iran is perhaps the most extreme fundamentalist muslim nation in the world.
They're leader preaches for hate of everything non-muslim, and for the destruction of the western society.
Perhaps you should read some of the latest speeches from Ahmadinijad and about iran:

That basically means, that a full re-install takes about what? a week?
apparently not well enough.
But first, we should examine the evidence.
URL for pictures, anyone?
So.. wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that it would cause serious electrical interference to sensitive devices, such as laptops?
I wouldn't be surprised if no OS was used at all and the bandwidth was measured by some sort of hardware network analyzer taking data directly from the cable.
Also, this is probably raw data throughput, without any protocols as overhead on top of the payload: i.e. the entire Ethernet frame size including headers was taken as the basis for what is considered "data transfered" (- if Ethernet was even used...)
