...are my choices for usability from a Windows perspective. Everything just works. Caveat: Both use KDE 3.5 and the kopete instant messenger won't connect to yahoo, but Mepis has a very promising beta out with KDE 4 which does connect. Alternately, install pidgin from the PCLOS repositories. Linux Mint is another fine choice, but I'm partial to KDE.
If you can't or don't want to pay the taxes in the country you're doing business in you have a faulty business model, and while you're adjusting that you may need to find yourself a banana republic to ply your trade in tax-free.
But Ballmer has a history of spouting a lot of hot air without ever following up on any of it.
...and ultimately unenforceable.
That's why congress will love the idea!
An easier way to achieve the same results is to force ISPs to mandate the use of Linux or BSD to access the network. Problem solved.
Microsoft could get a six month grace period to come up with an inherently safe OS.
Thank you for your common sense approach! Given Microsoft's track record, I wouldn't touch Silverlight with a ten-foot pole. Unless M$ spun it off as an open source project, ala Mozilla.
Consumers ARE voting with their wallets. Companies that have embraced higher fuel efficiency, like Toyota and Honda, are trouncing reactionary dinosaurs, like GM and Ford in the marketplace. This legislation does three things: 1. It lessens our dependence on OPEC. 2. It lessens the cumulative buildup of CO2 pollution. 3. It forces our ass-backward, short-sighted home-grown industry to become innovative and competitive again. Who's to argue with that?
Your language shows who the true idiot is. Software patents should never be granted, much like you cannot claim a patent on a mathematical equation. To add insult to injury (or is it the other way 'round?) these patents are used to destroy innovative products that wouldn't have made it to market otherwise.
Too bad, Vonage will be too cash-strapped to replace the infringing code with GPL'd equivalents, but there will be others that learn from the US patent mess, and in time will eat the telcos alive.
Long live Richard Stallman, the true hero of our generation!
I'm looking forward to the stable release.
After using SuSE, various versions of (K)(X)Ubuntu, MEPIS, Linux Mint I settled on PCLinuxOS 2007 as my favorite distro, which is Mandriva-based. It's very polished, looks great, and is stable.

That's how I got to this too. RSS let's me find headlines from both foreign and domestic sources in Firefox Live Bookmarks. It's efficient
I would say 9 times out of ten, the data in the datacenters, is better backed up, is less likely to get lost/stolen/etc.
I beg to differ; you're missing out on all the new meds you're supposed to ask your doctor about...
What would you expect from someone who, through his actions, has consistently endorsed child rape for decades?
