You mean the version that's easier for 90% of Linux users switching over? I think the BSD folks would rather cater to the current BSD users than add junk to a default install just for switchers.
There is a difference between what is the default and what is available. You have to realize that other folks may have think different applications are 'better' than what you do. Better is a relative term, depending on what you want to do and how you like to do it.
In short, if you want vim, you can install it. If you want bash, you can install it.
Yes, they did have better looking non-humanoid cameos. They also had realistic space physics (ships don't 'fly' through space, they rotate and thrust in the direction they want to travel). They dealt with zero-gravity. Human ships that needed to rotate to generate centrifugal force to simulate gravity, etc, etc etc.
With Intel you know that you are paying too much but you also know nothing is going to go wrong.
Nothing wrong by going with Intel? You mean like getting back bad data from floating point calculations, but Intel telling you that they were 'close enough' isn't wrong. (For you young-in's, Intel had a chip with a bad floating point unit. Rather than recall the bad chips, they told the customers that they were 'good enough' and that they didn't really need correct floating point answers.) Intel's record isn't perfect by any stretch.
I think if you carefully study the box that Office came in, you will note as a requirement "Windows 2000, Windows XP", etc. Yes, some version of windows is required. It's right there on the box. You aren't using the required software with it, so don't expect full support (ie nice easy patch downloads).
Please point out exactly where in the anti-trust judgements they said you have to support beyond what the listed software requirements are.
Bzzt. It does matter which provider you go with. Some are much better supported by different browsers. Go with a cert provider with bad browser support and a lot of potential customers might avoid your online store because the cert is unrecognised and they arent' sure if they should trust you. It can be well worth the money to buy a cert from one of the major providers.
So, will that be like contributing to the defense fund for bittorrent websites? You know, where the guy collecting the money decides to concede the case and make off with the money that was supposed to go towards the legal fees?
Count me out unless you can ensure no one absconds with the money.
Yep, it might be feasible. It very likely also will cost a bundle to produce compared to current batteries. The extra power and fast charge are great features, but I'm already put off by the $100 + a shot price for the batteries in my current laptop. I'm scared to think what these new ones might cost. Even if it's not snake oil, I'm not going to get my hopes up that I'll actually be them.
Yeah, who'd have ever thought that a commercial company who sell's their OS as part of their buisness model wouldn't want it widely distributed for free. I'm real sure he didn't know that.
It's kind of the same way that some people voting for George Bush has made all of us Americans look like war-mongering-idiots to the rest of the world.
Would you trust your doctor to keep your medical information confidential when he has no problems breaking written contracts of confidentiality? I'd never want to be a patient of someone like that.
As an OSX user, I can tell you that's bunk. Like when one of the recent upgrades to OSX caused all our macs to lose the ability to print on the network. There are plenty of problems with it.
So, if I install one major patch on Linux, and it doesn't fix everything wrong in the system, I can bitch that it doesn't solve many problems with security, right?
(Huge hint, one patch isn't going to solve everything, but it's a big step in the right direction)
And yes, it does break apps that weren't made with security in mind (by either letting you know what holes you need to punch in a firwall to use them, etc).
If SP2 is breaking stuff, 99% of the time is because it's trying to use some network port that is now blocked with the firewall. Just sniff the traffic going in/out of one of the SP1 boxes, see what ports the apps seems to require, then open those ports after installing SP2 (or turning on the firwall in SP1)

Please list the 3-5 remote holes in the default install Mr. Anonymous troll.
You mean the user base that included scientists. Yes, I understand, and was one of them. Moron anonymous coward.

It's a joke. Laugh.
To combat this, I say we fight them in court. In order to pay for legal fees to defend John Doe against the MPAA, I'll need to collect some money.

I'm sure the legal fees will be high, so send LOTS OF MONEY!
I've got the owner of the old Loki bittorrent site working with me, so don't worry, we've got plenty of experience at this!
Have you ever seen Clockwork Orange?
Your friend should have locked that process to one CPU. He lost a bit of performance doing context switching.
Why oh why did dual cores come out so long after BEOS is gone. Now that was a system built from the ground up for multiple cores. :(
FYI, not all commercial databases will be charging dual-cores as 2 CPUs.

You can sue anyone you want for whatever reason you want. That doesn't mean you will win.

You might not. But lots of others of us do. I f you want a legacy free systems, there are a good number available. Look around more.

Next time just do the install, turn on the firewall, then plug in the ethernet cable.
Then go download the latest service-packs/patches.
