throwing the question back at me is high school debating tactics. but fyi, i don't care either way, i'm not american. take it from someone removed from your countries politics and hype - he hasn't really changed how your country is percieved around the world. it's going to take a lot more than a new figure head to change that.
"the wisdom of the American people that was so on display when Obama was elected"
um, are you suggesting he was elected because he is black? other than that fact he doesn't stand out in any real way from other politicians. his policies certainly aren't anything more than run of the mill democrate policies.
i have to agree. it's the knee's that give out first on an old solider. carrying 40kg's of gear isn't good for you at all, and i'm betting this kind of thing will be targeted at hilly terrian such as afganistan. i wonder how weird this would feel to walk with?
don't think that kind of common sense is so common on here. lots of times i've seen zealots try put forward craptastic solutions like wine, rewriting the apps or using some flaky OSS project that doesn't fit the users needs.
i'd say linux CAN be great for some places, what it lacks is support for many specialised apps businesses use under windows. if i had a run of the mill office that did nothing but process internal forms, email and internet access, i'd set them up with dumb terminals logging into a central server for apps, and a 2nd server fronting as a firewall with a proxy and other services. dumb terminals are cheap and low maintanence, the server would be a xeon with 4 gig of ram and a quality raid controller and scsi disks + tape backup (see cheap to setup).
your pain starts when you have professionals (engineers,accountants,draftsmen)in the office that need planning or specalised applications, i wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.
if your talking about dumb terminals, your making me hot. sexy little gadgets with no fans or moving parts. in this instance you can lock down any of the major desktop environments by modifying their default user to have a really low level of user access , so when you create a new user it inherits these settings. gnome,kde and xfce all have this ability. and since they are terminals an logging into a central server management is dead easy.
if you are talking stand alone desktops then it's not so great. linux doesn't really have anything as good as group polices and active directory, it's part of the reason corperate networks are mostly windows.
it's highly embaressing and can have real business implications, that's why. imagine your the CEO of a million dollar company who's sole business is data warehousing and you have to admit millions of records have been stolen, publicly as well as reporting it to a government department.
yeah god i hate that extended warranty crap they try push on you. when they mention it and i'm spending more than a grand i ask for it as part of the deal or i walk out. clearly offering it means they have no faith in their product lasting, right?
genetics is the biggest factor in being a fatass and dieing early. i'm in that group of people that has "survival genes", i can exercise every day of the week till i'm lathered in sweat and i'll only maintain my weight, and when i take a week off i pile on a kg, even though i'm not a big eater.
My father is the same, so i figure this is just how it goes and i'll have to watch my weight all my life.
as far as telling kids to get off their ass and doing something, never has a better message been sent. i hope they stick to their guns.
worst post ever. like i enjoy watching shows on my 17" lcd over my 70" hdtv. they serve a totally difference post and there's a ton of gadgets to link the 2 anyway.
Put your nerd rage against MS aside for a minute and explain what's so bad about UAC.
I installed vista the other day and UAC isn't a pain at all, it's certainly no worse than having to do an sudo in linux. I think people hate it because it works so well - it warns you when a privigle escalation is required.
if windows 7 has improved and runs faster (not that there was much of a speed difference compared to xp SP3), i'll be loading it for sure.
he should add 1 second to each time and suddenly it's not a fact from their timetable, it's his own creative work that merely HAPPENS to be close to theirs. no harm done.
no sunshine, your wrong.The mozilla browser continued on through out that time. and it was 1998 they open sourced it, 2002 was the first firefox release.

don't many states have good samaritian laws, where standing by and allowing someone to suffer when helping them would cause no injury to you lands you in jail?
I think the issue is that since they are being paid with federal money, they are bound by the same restrictions as a government agency which means the just have to suck it up if someone bad mouths thems.
of course if this is entirely a private matter with no tax payers money involved it's the same as an NDA and would be binding. really i think it's stupid to pay any attention to online reviews of a doctor. people emotionally envolved in a medical procedure that went wrong won't be able to give an objective opinion on it.
/. has turned into some kind of crappy low rent rag that posts the same basic story 20 times a day. I should start a spoof of/. and post fake stories, people wouldn't even know the difference.
your over estimating what a police hack involves. installing some spyware on your laptop while you are out of the house is the extent of their abilities. run linux or even just run a screen saver password will defeat them. hell i'd bet $50 a decent virus scanner will pick their activities via hueristics.
it's got supreme court oversight and is only for suspected serious offences, so they aren't going to be able to perform the search and then find nothing only to charge you with possession of 1gram of weed to save face.
besides what do you expect them to do, walk up to your front door with a mega phone and annouce "PREPARE TO BE COVERTLY SEARCHED!!!!"?
that's no better than windows, and atleast in windows people don't have to remember commandline options. i think what he is getting at is your at the mercy of packagers uninstall options.

resource control per user/per process
default configurations for user setup which can limit their ability to execute or install anything.

it's the government's job to fill the needs of the people where private enterprise won't. a TV channel can easily fall into this category.

you've always been able to install/uninstall windows components such as scan and fax.

what makes you think they aren't, and that it's only foreign governments that do the spying? fail.

not only that but what exactly do you think your handheld/phone is going to do with more than 4 gig of ram per process?

1. bash MS
2. spread apple rumors
3. praise linux
4. profit!
