So what? We have different OS'ses, and this means they have to look and feel completely different to make sure that people who deal with different platforms have as steep a learning curve as possible? If I will pick Linux, it will be because it is free, stable and allows me to do more. Pass me the Redmont theme, will you?
This is common in Western Europe. P2P doesn't hit the ISP's Squid and costs a bundle when it's transatlantic. In Belgium, Telenet limits you to ISDN-like speeds once you used your monthly quotum, and Skynet is simply throttling all P2P traffic on their main Cisco routers.
With more distro's sliding towards pay-only and the others hard on the newbies, Mandrake is more or less the ONLY distro adding new users to the pool. I have a (Windows-)job and two kids, and without Mandrake there would be no time for me to try Linux.
Experience in Europe with Ryanair shows people will tolerate ANYTHING as long as the price is right. If you fly France-Ireland in Ryanair, you not only have to change in London, but actually check out your luggage and check it in againfor the connecting flight. Ryanair is the only european airline making money right now.

Concorde does not make a sonic boom. It is very noisy on take-off & landing; but the main reason it was never deployed over the US was at first politics (it's not american) and later cost.
If a PC has a NTFS partition on it, it means it also has Windows installed on it, otherwise what is the point... The Knoppix CD has to find a way to load the driver already present using a read-only mount. For full dual-boot systems, the exact location could be saved so Linux can skip the first step, compare to Lilo "compiling" the location of the kernel.
Preconfigured PC's without local administrator account. None of the web-apps work in Mozilla: expense reporting, purchase, HR,...
What's really crap is that these apps are made by big software companies like SAP. You'd expect SAP could come up with something cross-browser...
It was proposed here in DK and I remember an article stating success depends very much on the type of infrastructure already present. What kind of cables have been laid out, neutral or no neutral, etc...
For all those discussing transformers and high voltage lines: this is strictly a last-mile technology: you need fiber to AFTER the last transformer! In this sense, a power failure does (theoretically) not necessarely have to bring the network down, even if the low end receivers will probably get their power from the same line as their data.
My entire company lies full with old PAlm V's and their desktop cradle. What I'm dreaming about is hooking them permanently as a second screen that can show (B/W) pictures, show the text of the last received email etc....
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to program a Palm. Is anything similar out there?
Hell if telephone companies thought that they could push TV over twisted pair they would be talking about it too. I have a friend at Belgacom and that is EXACTLY what they are talking about. Experiments with >100MBIT VDSL are already under way. You never know, mom might listen to internet radio in the kitchen while dad watches TV.
I don't want to be a troll, but I thought the whole idea about open source is you can copy from each other and not reinvent the wheel. If Mandrake has a really good hardware detection, then why are these dudes writing something from scratch?
Denmark owns one or two old submarines and many intelligent people have remarked that such a small country could spend its money on less stupid weapons. NATO and uncle Sam disagree however, and whenever DK asks NATO which weapons they should send to conflict area XYZ, the answer is ALWAYS the submarine, even if XYZ happens to be inner Mongolia.
In Denmark, they rolled out 3G commercially last week. But after a new investigation on radiation in Holland and complaints from people living close to antenna's, there is talk about banning it near kindergardens... House prices are comming down for houses close to an antenna.
Yoohoo! Anybody there? You didn't think a guy as smart as McBride ever thought this would work, did you? He is stretching the game while his pump-and-dump operation is going fine. McBride still has a very large smile on his face, thank you.
We've been bitchin' on SCO for months and at every story somebody posts "Right NOW is the time to sell your stock...." but the truth is simple for all to see: Canopy is a bunch of lawyers with a BIG trackrecord, so you can bet McBride has his ass covered SEC-wise. SCO was dead in the water before this started and they knew it. So McBride and his buddies will screw over SCO, give all the employees a pink slip and all the customers season tickets to go-fuck-yourself-land. Then they will walk away with so much cash you will wish you did it yourself. And there is nothing we can do about it.

Carjacking!!!!!
I want one!!! Drive behind that nice Mercedes, push the Red button and get your imitation gun out.
Sure BEOS has some neat tricks (don't they all?). But what features does it have that are (as good as) impossible to port to Linux?

But you can't use it in Guantanamo. That is a non-existing area ripped out of the time-space fabric. No laws, no cellphones....

Wait until NY comes below sea level. Then we'll see what is best for US citizens.

You could also do the opposite, and attract SCO goons to a bunch of Win2K servers....

Can it be used for brute force code breaking?

You mean my plan of driving that A-Bomb into Redmont is actually a bad idea?

Don't worry, I can get you an upgrade for 299$

They will have to watch themselves or some foreign banks will actually start accepting these 100$ notes!!!
