I guess that depends on whether you are using the bank's software or using the bank's service. While the bank is definitely using the GPL software is this case, so has the right to the source code.
The ATM is not your machine, in fact your bank TOS state that you probably don't own your ATM card.
All this arguement about MS being a Monopoly. Hasn't this been shown in a court? Regardless, its interesting to see all the money Microsoft has avaliable in its core 'monopoly' business in order to use its position to attack other markets: mobile phones, consoles, etc.
By allow this behaviour to continue the American public simply fosters unequal competition in which ever market Microsoft casts its eyes.

With computing I tend to think depreciation rates (48% here in NZ) make purchasing better than lease. Still you have to weight up cashflow issues and it depends on the support contract you get.
Remeber computers are just another business item consume in the production of profit.
If its faster to write it in bash, then use bash. Optimise after you've got the thing producing correct results. Otherwise both C++ and Python have advanced numeric libraries that I know off.
Personally I really dislike Fortan, and the advise above comes from a project where I had to pick up some Fortan code. After a month of wasted time trying to understand someone elses code I figured it would be better to write something clearer with something I knew.
Not sure about the server side of things. Doesn't have a DVD drive or CD player, but hey consumer DVD/VCD players are cheap. Most do mp3 as well.
Put a (or three) tunner card at the back end on the file server and your got something to replace your Tivo.
I guess the main issue to sort out with this is how the IR/ keyboard control interface would interact with the server backend. Since the unit is running linux it might be easily configable.
I wonder if this will have a reverse globalisation effect. Where people are afraid to travel not knowing if their actions - legal in their home country, are judged illegal and actionable as soon as they enter any other given country.
Travelling to the UK to see some relatives? Land at Healthrow and expect to get put into jail for some comment in a mailing list posted several years ago?
With regards to (2), at the end of the day it doesn't matter what the back end is running on as long as the interface is usable.
For instance, in our company we have a system that will run on pretty much any unix OS. I've run it (in production) on Openbsd, although its currently running on Linux. However 90% of the client machines are Compaq iPAQ running Windows 2000 and accessing the system via ssh.
Result, an easy to maintain cost-effective server system that I can maintain from anywhere I might be and usual doesn't give me security concerns.
I've accessed our system secure on whim from client sites by ssh.
In terms of transfering files to Windows, Samba and well position shares are your friends.
With regards to (3), I agree. At the end of the day OSS is nice because it allows the system to exist beyound the life of the entity that produces it. However, the main cost of a good ERP system is not the initial licensing, but the on going support costs. We pay our accounting system people a reasonable amount of money to be avaliable 8/5 for minor problems and custom upgrades. Sometimes even quicj calls in the weekends.
For something as critical as an accounting system the best thing is not to be concerned about software ethics, but the cost-benefit of each particular system you might use.
Go with what works for you.
All that said there is starting to be a good selection of systems that will run on Linux. Some of them (mentioned above) are even OSS.
2x3x5x7x11 + 1 = 2311 is prime
but
2x3x5x7x11x13 + 1 = 30031 = 59x509
in not prime.
The important steps in the proof is supposing that {1,..., p_N} is complete then showing that their must exist a prime not in that set greater than p_N. ie. 59 or 509 above.

Actually you might combine this for the first few trips to set up the receiving station.
You could slow down by pushing off one of Mars' moons.
Didn't Microsoft have some ownership in SCO at some stage?

Of course the reverse holds when IBM eventually either "kick SCO's ass" or "buy them out as its cheaper."
We can turn around and say: "you can never go wrong buying IBM." If it was just Redhat and Sco, I think things would be a little nasty.
See, but that "rebuild everything at once' can be a hassle.
Especially when there is a kernel patch required for a security upgrade, which then implies a userland rebuild.
Trying to figure out exact what directory to make build for say a ssh upgrade, doesn't compare to apt-get install.
Personally I had a openbsd webserver, that I replaced with a debian box because I felt I could secure it better in the time I had.
Chipped xbox and xboxmediaplayer is cheaper. Plus you get the somewhat bonus of being able to play xbox games.
Gnu Octave. Easy as 'apt-get install octave'.

I'm getting one this week to try it out.
I've read this comments that suggests the GNUe designer is a possible replacement for access.
No, but that doesn't help you if your rule set is crap and your internal machines get hacked.
Furthermore, that doesn't help you if internal client machines are lacking the latest Microsoft patch and some user downloades an active trojan.
Security is a state of mind, but the state of some hardware. The only ultimate security is no connection.

This is one of the early papers in ant-based routing. Quite cool stuff, nice to see that its progressed further.
There is also who have a linux based bt878 tv tuner card and a MJEG encoder card.
Not sure what the quality is like on either of those solutions.
That's plain wrong-head. Certainly the Linux desktop is 'server capable', but when is the 98/NT desktop not 'server capable' as well?
Comes down to how good your systems admin team is.
Where is the hidden cost in that?
Allied Telsyn do for a lot of their routers.
You could try routing daemons and making signal strenght part of the routing decision. Mayby mix in bandwidht as well.
I'm sure that would make an interesting PhD topic for someone.
