Have you ever done a headless install? No? I didn't think so. Not every system has a video card, monitor and keyboard attached so a graphical installer would be a huge pain in the ass.
They can come in handy. I use Superkaramba in KDE, and wrote my own themes to gather and display some stats from around my home network using snmp. Obviously you can go a little overboard, but they don't have to clutter too much.
How many trucks sell with a standard winches on the front? Its an extra that can be mounted on a SUV just as well as a Truck. Farmers have families too you know.
I'm waiting 2 weeks. There should be enough people running many different apps in many different situations that a major problem should have popped up by then, of course they better make it public when(if) they do.
Come to Canada and find out. It can snow heavily here anytime after the middle of August and its not strange to get a full 2-3 feet of heavy wet snow overnight. It can definitely come in handy and more often then a few days a year. The only problem is people thing their indestructible in an SUV and drive like complete idiots.
As far as renting, that might work fine in a city, but what if you lived several hours from the nearest city? The places that need a SUV because of the weather are rural areas.
So now MS has to make its OS work with spyware? If I let someone I don't trust work on my car, and they screw it up to the point that when I start it next time it blows up, is that GM's fault? Its my fault for letting that idiot work on it. If spyware causes the system to crash, its the users fault for not taking proper precautions. Users can whine and moan about it all they want, it doesn't change anything.
...for the purpose of inclusion
with, use and distribution of the IA-32 Product and the IA-64
Product. Any separate license grant for any item of the SCO
Third Party Licensed Materials contained in a Project Supplement
which is more limited than the license grants contained in this
section must be applicable only to items which are separable
from other code in the Deliverable.
It very specifically lists IA-32 and IA-64 only, and mentions a separate License grant for other items. PPC would fall under 'other'.
Miguel is not the 'Linux movement', hes not even Gnome anymore. He could be hired by anyone or drop off the face of the earth and everything would continue just fine. Any movement that is based on a single mans ideas or ideals is going to fade out naturally anyway.
Personally I only just barely passed the typing classes I had to take, it was one of the reasons I stopped taking computer courses in high school. If you use a computer day in and day out then you'll eventually fall into a routine that works, it might not be proper home-row touch typing, but it works. I also couldn't stop my self from looking at the keyboard every once and a while for a word or two as I type, I really can't help it I have this need to look at what I'm doing. Basic typing will come to you, its the driving people to 40wpm and more that I find unnesessary.
I build Gnome myself so it doesn't run like molasses and the Gnome docs state you have to kill the toolbar or log out to enable changes, so yes I will blame Gnome for functionality that should be included.
Well damn, we've really screwed ourselves and this has been a whole failure. Sorry everyone, we're going to stop being jackasses and pretend we have a business and get some marketing going along those lines. We have to keep the existing lawsuits going because we don't want to look like complete idiots. If you could just forget about the last 18 or so months, it would be appreciated.
Will they also be fixing all the bugs they ignored from 2.0 to 2.6? I know fixing bugs isn't the most glorious work, but Gnome seems to just be ignoring them all.
Also, do I still have to kill the toolbar or log out when I make a change to a menu or have they got their thumb out and fixed that too?
Sun Ray is a Terminal Server/Thin Client thing. In addition to providing the thin client, they handle several authentication methods such as smart cards, and session management so you can detach from one thin client, authenticate on another, and resume your session as you left it.
Try building Gnome or KDE for a more modern processor to take advantage of the optimizations those processors have. I built KDE and its not noticeably slower then Fluxbox or WindowMaker.
There's a difference to working out ax^2+by^2+ca+dy+e=0 step by step and seeing a circle and knowing that no matter how many angles its been chopped into they are going to add up to 360 and only 360. By high school you should know that, just like you shouldn't have to write down 2+2 to get 4. Only an idiot follows 20 steps when they know the first 19 have no bearing on the answer.
Technically KDE, GNOME, CDE and the like are not hacks as far as being a desktop environment on X since the X server and the Window Manager/Desktop environment were always meant to be separate, but they include hacks such as window transparency.

I find the PS2 controller a lot more comfortable then the XBox's, and I haven't broken it yet so it can't be that flimsy.
I have to say the only reason right now I would buy an Xbox would be for DOA, but the Xbox isn't cheap enough for that yet.

However thanks for pointing me to famd.

Because not everyone who would play XvT2 will buy Galaxies, so you would make more money in the long run.
You needed the FTC? You should look at something called a 'firewall.,' it stops unwanted traffic.
I've never seen "Installing spyware to capture bosses activities' included in an IT job description.
Except if there is a problem, the response would more likely be to stop the adoption of the problem software as opposed to changing laws.
So what's Slashdots excuse for this colour scheme, it would insite anyone to hate anything.

Hate to burst your bubble, but that was a long time ago, its like saying Windows XP sucks because you didn't like Win3.1.
