Because it's correct. I'm running OSX 10.5 on a eight years old unmodified PowerMac G4 which was bought when OSX didn't even exist as a product. You can't install OSX 10.5 on G3-based machines, but try to install Vista or XP on a Pentium I which was state of the art when the G3 machines came out.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 8 years ago (2000), the Pentium 4 was actually the state of the art desktop chip from Intel...
Clearly XP will run on this hardware, I have no idea about Vista.
Imagine there were an infinite number of Supermen. Where would they fit? How super could he be if there are an infinite number of him taking up all the space in the universe?
More importantly, with so many Supermen around who would fix their bicycles when they broke?
Umm..... hate to break it to you. But that actually is the official website of the 'TV Licensing' company. It's responsible for gathering money for TV Licenses, and catching those that don't pay.
Don't know about DesktopBSD, but PC-BSD is about to release version 1.5 which will still use the 6.3 base for the system since we know 6.x is reliable, and our stuff works on it properly.
PC-BSD 2.0 will be the next version, and we'll be using FreeBSD 7, and KDE 4 on it. Expect to see that in around six months.
Personally, I think it's just as false to believe that it's impossible for a god-like intelligence to exist as there is to believe that one definitely exists without proof.
Atheists don't believe that it's impossible for a god-like intelligence to exist, they just don't see any evidence to support that it does. Much in the same way that most people don't believe there are flying pigs, there isn't any evidence to support that they exist either.
Personally, I believe religion is a framework for answering questions we don't know the real answer to in such a way as to appease (or control) the masses.
Clergyman: Don't do that!
Peasant: Why not?
Clergyman: Erm... you'll go to hell where you'll be tortured until the end of time... yes, that's why.
Peasant: Oh, alright then.
Not to say that religion isn't good in many ways. Sets out a great moral framework for people to follow. Some of us follow the same moral code however, without the threat of eternal damnation hanging over our heads if we don't.
You're correct in saying that motion controls and the IR pointing ability aren't good for all games. So it's a good job some of the saner developers realise this:)
Think of the IR thing as a mouse, it's really cool for FPS stuff (it's the only console I've played an FPS on that hasn't felt completely clumsy, but maybe that's my shoddy coordination when using analogue sticks), and it's really great for games where you need to point at things (like buttons).
The motion stuff is abused by most games, but it's a really neat fit in some places. It's just taking a while for some of the studios to figure out how to work with the hardware the Wii has to offer.
Example of games that I think got the control scheme right:
- Metroid Prime 3 (FPS): IR & Motion - Super Paper Mario (Adventure/Platformer): D-PAD and buttons only - Excite Truck (Racing): Motion only - Brain Academy ('Casual'): IR only
I had the exact same experience with my Mum the other day! I went around for dinner, and whilst I was helping prepare vegetables, she came out with that exact nugget. Usually I'd blame my influence, but I've not spoken to her about Vista at all before, priceless.
Moreover, why are we putting "stolen software" in quotes when we're talking about people who're actually willfully using unlicensed software? Copying != Stealing
A Linux distribution can include a BSD licensed compiler in the base system without issue.
A BSD cannot include a GPL compiler in their base system, since one of the requirements all of the (major) BSDs have, is that everything in the base system is BSD compatible.
BSD is GPL compatible. GPL is not BSD compatible.
So, if PCC becomes a better compiler, nobody loses. If it doesn't, nothing changes.
My point being, on windows/linux, unless you want to set up a domino server, you can't do it with a graphical app from what I can tell. KMail is what you're looking for.

Do you have any idea how much money Pharmaceutical companies spend on R&D? Looking at GSK's 2006 Annual review (http://gsk.com/investors/reps06/annual_review_200 6/summ_financial_statements.htm), you'll see that they spent £3.5bn on R&D last year. Note, that's £s, not $s.
Can you really see government investing this heavily for just a couple of viable drugs per year?
I think the point he was making is that statistics can often be skewed to say what you want them to say.
For example, taking a sample that exists solely in my house, I could come up with the following figures:
5 Desktops: 71% 2 Laptops: 29%
Therefore the vast majority of machines are desktops, with a small subtext to state how I took the sample that nobody will notice.
Happens frequently in the media, the evidence is all around us. Statistics should not be ignored and can be extremely useful, but they should be examined properly. Something a lot of people fail to do.
As you can see from the apps mentioned, there are a number ways you could put a default install box to use. Basic web server, firewall, mailhost..?

OpenBSD 3.7 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
OpenBSD always supports the current release, and the previous one. This means it now supports versions 3.7 and 3.6
You should note however that the OpenBSD systems are very easily upgraded from the install media. Simply choose the upgrade option and then follow the simple instructions to make other changes.
Remember though that only sequential updates are supported. Example 3.6 -> 3.7, if you're upgrading from 3.5 you'd need to: 3.5 -> 3.6 -> 3.7
One my first foolhardy venture into broadband, I was forced to use BT as my ISP.
I had countless problems with both their service, and their inept staff. However, my fraying patience finally snapped when one of their 'Technical Staff' asked me to explain the complicated networking Jargon I had used. The particular piece of jargon in question was:
Upload
Unsuprisingly I terminated my service the same day. Much happier now with a *real* ISP, but it doesn't stop me having to deal with BT once in a while.
Interestingly, OS X allows you to enable and disable the ability to login as root as needed. Logging in as root by default is disabled (though commands can obviously be run as root with su).
Good point, another good point is that anyone running the OpenSSH daemon can change their sshd_config file (if they haven't done already) to include the following:
PermitRootLogin no
This will make the same changes you described.

Then you ought to try out some other Wii games.

The license divide is one way.

A BSD cannot include a GPL compiler in their base system, since one of the requirements all of the (major) BSDs have, is that everything in the base system is BSD compatible.

You have a point, although as far as memory serves sendmail *is* enabled by default too.
At least, I don't remember enabling it on my boxes. But then I'm not known for my amazing memory.
the default install is essentially useless, as there have been holes in the services that most people would want to enable...
Well, this depends really on what you think *most* people want. The system contains a number of tools from the default install, including:
ntpd
pf
bgpd
isakmpd
spamd
OpenSSH
X.Org
Gcc
Perl
Apache
OpenSSL
Groff
Sendmail
Bind
Lynx
Sudo
Ncurses
Heimdal
Arla
Binutils
Gdb
Although I may have missed few...
