Dude, you can buy servers with Linux pre-installed from Dell. You can buy servers with no OS from Dell. You can even buy servers with your own disk image loaded from Dell.
So why in the name of all the Gods are you buying servers with Windows from Dell, just to wipe it off???
Install Linux on a Dell server, dd the drive to another one and give the drive to Dell. It is not difficult.
Hmm, well, there are millions of houses made from cardboard and other recycled goods. In Africa they are known as squatter camps, but in America they are known as trailer parks...
it may make spammers remove hotmail accounts from their lists.
I'm sure it will put a damper on things. When AOL, Earthlink and MS sue spammers, it must have an effect, but spam will only stop once Cisco sells spam filtering routers that will drop all spam packets on the floor.

Well, you know, about 100 years ago, Turkey lost the First World War. It is time for them to get to terms with that and get out of the middle ages, the way Attaturk intended.
"Remember: they were the ones that finally ended the Roman Empire (1453)."
Hmmm, no, the Ottomans ended the Greek Byzantine empire. If you were wondering why Greece is so small today and why they still don't get on with the Turks - that is why.
The Ottomans never reached Italy. Vlad Dracul stopped them in Romania, by impaling about 20,000 Turkish soldiers, creating a forest of rotting corpses as a warning to the remaining Turks.
Hmm, the ANC... O'l Nelson even got honourary Canadian Citizenship, I guess Fidel and Pinochet would be next in line for the honour.
Timothy McVeigh used about 4 tons of nitro to blow up a building - Amongst other things, the ANC collected 144 tons of the stuff - 36 big buildings - plus 250,000 hand grenades at Rivonia. They had one bomb for every street in Johannesburg.
The only problem is that they were caught before they could use it. Technically, they were not guilty of terrorism, they were just guilty of collecting the world's largest terrorist arms cache ever...
I guess either the police was too effective, or the wannabe ANC terrorists were too stupid.
What if the El Qaida terrorists were caught BEFORE they crashed the planes? Would they still have been terrorists? Would the US still have attacked Afghanistan and Iraq?
The CIA is blamed for exactly that - not catching the terrorists before the act, but if they did, what then? Would Bin Laden have become the US president after spending 27 years in jail?
I honestly think the wrong number problem with cell phones is merely a scam, used by the cellular operators to increase their revenue, since both parties end up paying for the wrong numbers...
Yah, there is no point in 'beaming' energy to the earth. The sun is already doing that abundantly, so the problem is not on the beaming side, it is on the collecting side.
What is your problem? It is a warring president calling on the main war god - nothing wrong with that - it is in perfect harmony with 1679 years of christian tradition and about 1000 years of jewish and greco-roman tradition before that.
If you want either a centralized, or a distributed system, then use CVS - there is even a version of CVS that works via email. If you want a simple system, then use RCS. If you want a wide choice of client programs, then use CVS. Note that RCS is contained in CVS.
I'm not a CVS fanatic, not at all, but I am seeing many people recreating the features of CVS with great effort, while all they really need is a better client.
The CVS server doesn't matter, it works, it is debugged, it is reliable, there really is no need to mess with it. It is the clients that need to be improved.
CVS is a client server system. People interface with the client. If anyone feels that CVS sucks, it is because they are using a bad client.
There are many CVS clients out there and all the issues people complain about can be fixed by finding a better/different one. With any other version control system, you are pretty much stuck with whatever kludge the project has, bacause there is only one.
Well, if Windows was so very secure, then Linux machines would be hiding behind Windows fire-walls and not the other way around - all the little Linksys and Dlink routers in Best Buy would have been running Wince, not Linux...
Slashdot Mirror
The number may be bigger, but it will still be worth the same - see the concept of Present Value of Anual Changes...

I am surprized that the difference is so small. Why do some FF users click on Ads at all?
Yeah, well, that is an old, sad proverb with no relation to modern Linux distributions.
Here is a new proverb for you: The TCO of Windoze is only cheap, if your security has no value.
What is so special about it?
Hmm, well, there are millions of houses made from cardboard and other recycled goods. In Africa they are known as squatter camps, but in America they are known as trailer parks...
Well, actually, it is either 'la voila' or 'le voila', depending on whether the object is female or male.
50-150, 4-7, there is a connection here I think, but I don't have enough toes to count on and figure this out..."

The only solution is to filter it out and drop spam packets in the routers of the major ISPs and other networking companies

Yes, though the 10 months are still 10 months - no matter what calendar you use, it doesn't change much...

Yeah well, depends on which side you are on, eh? I'm all for the USA using Windows in everything...

"I don't want calls. From anyone. At any time."
Uhhh, you should get an Outgoing Line. You can't get calls on that - ever - from anyone - even the Pope himself won't get through...

john@somewhere$ cd ~/myproject
john@somewhere$ mkdir RCS
You now have an RCS repository! Let's do something with it:
john@somewhere$ ci -u -t-FirstPost *
Now your repository contains all your files.
Oh, wait, rcs is old and uncool...
How would decentralizing CVS be an improvement? CVS utilities can already work in both RCS and CVS modes.
I had a moped that could go 140km on 1 litre of petrol. How is this progress? I now have to put a 10kg, steel hydrogen tank on my old moped?
