If not: They are a machine/tool/etc. What they are like and what they do depends only on who made them, who owns them, and applicable laws governing the use of similar personal effects as scooters, computers, videocameras, etc.
If yes: They can do and be whatever the hell they want under applicable laws currently governing the humans (that is to say, they should have the same rights and accountability as any of us)
I agree, the Ender/Shadow and Homecomming sagas were cool but Alvin Maker is very strange... and I personally found the tales rather dull. I really do wonder what prompted eGenesis to consider them suitable for a MMO.

See above... that is precisely why I don't trick them by using IE's icon. I simply add "Internet" so they know what it is for. Can't you people read? =\

No... that will only encourage pesky habits. Joe dumb user will not understand that it's a new, different program.

Exactly, that is what I do as well.
And I make sure I rename the "Mozilla Firefox" desktop shortcut to "Mozilla Firefox Internet" so they know what it's for:)
it's not giving you anything you don't already have, just improving your ability to access it
Umm... right... so certain body steroids don't necessarily give you anything you don't already have -- such as, the ability to build muscles! They just improve your ability to build them . . .
It might be better there in the US, but here in Japan, it's getting hard to find anything but el-cheapo 15-inch CRTs
Japan is, shall we say, a bit spatially challenged. In the warehouse room alone saved by stocking LCDs instead of CRTs you folks can probably house something on the order of 50,000 people;-)
Nice. Do you happen to know what the shortcut is to bring down the list of search engines? Alt+down doesn't seem to work as expected (on windows, anyway)
Dells can run GNU/Linux just fine, in fact our engineering dept is transitioning from Solaris workstations to just that sort of platform.
But the rest of my employer's systems run XP. My job involves troubleshooting a number of legacy DOS programs and having cygwin on a CD will be a wonderful tool. Working without grep and sed is such a pain...
From the coLinux site: "Unlike in other Linux virtualization solutions such as User Mode Linux (or the forementioned VMware), [b]special driver software on the host operating system[/b] is used to execute the coLinux kernel in a privileged mode (known as ring 0 or supervisor mode)."
So no, it's not exactly LiveCD material. If you need to have a coLinux installation CD handy then just burn your own...
But there is a non-trivial amount left, and IT is what should be BSDed, to completely eradicate all that remains of Microsoft's, Sun's and most notably SCO's FUD. That is what I took the parent to my comment to be talking about.
But we're talking about commercial UNIX. Yes BSD itself and Linux are under OSS licenses, but the old UNIX sources -- the sort of stuff Solaris, AIX, and UnixWare are based on -- aren't free.

That is all.

Yet another vote for Newegg.
Obviously if it is local if it is exploitable from the console. But can it be exploited remotely through ssh if one already has a user account?

After which Java will still be slow.

right, but is there any way to bring down the menu so you can see what order they are in? (I have like 25 different search engines there...)

It was my understanding that Firefox and Thunderbird were engineered to completely replace Mozilla.
Does anyone know when this is supposed to happen, i.e. when will the code branches merge into a single whole?

About as masterful and breathtaking as your spelling?
Not wanting to fail a class hardly qualifies as being "obsessed with grades."

Uh, I don't personally care about any of that. Cygwin/X on a LiveCD is exactly what I need for a number of projects.

That's nothing, I wish I had a euro for every time IBM has been mentioned as a suitor for a tech company.
