This might be true if all the computers are doing is controlling the engine. Now we are moving into drive by wire where the computer is doing more and more of the control. In the future it is going to be harder and harder to buy and drop in some off the shelf controller. There are even a lot of cars today that this is just not possible with.
I've worked with engine control computers and I know it is just not that easy.
I always sort of wondered what was stopping people from putting a "virus" or something into the portage tree that would knock out my system with I updated it.
Unfortunatly I don't think it would be very hard for someone to insert something that could totally hose my system.
This article show that scsi drive have a considerable advantage over the same spindle speed of ide drives. Laptops tend to have slower drives. Has anyone considered using scsi drives in laptops?
I guess my biggest problem with activation is not the activations process it self but the fact that I can't install the piece of software I bought on all the computers I own. If I buy a piece of software I should be able to use it on as many computers as I want if they are mine. I currently use Photoshop on three machines (laptop, desktop, and in VMware).
You don't see this with movies, books or other forms of media. If I buy a DVD I can watch it in as many DVD players I want with out calling th company and explaining to them how I want to watch it in a different DVD player (I hope the MPAA isn't ideas from this).
Oh-well I liked Adobe and I have in the past payed for Photoshop and it's upgrades. Adobe just put this to an end, I'll be sticking to the version I have right now.
I'm sorry but this is the second time you have posted the same message for the same article. So I'm forced to respond. The other posters are talking about OSX including all of it's bells and whistles. Darwin is just the lowest level of this.
I remember when darwin-x86 was first announced. Half the people here were saying we'd have OSX for x86 in no time. Maybe someday Apple will release a full OSX for x86 but I don't see it occuring any time soon, expecially with the rave reviews of the G5.
My Grandma runs linux, Gentoo at that. She is doing perfectly fine. My family members who only use windows are actually able to help her with it also.
Yeah she bairly knows that the command line exists but it fits all her computing needs. All she needed was a few scripts to automate stuff and she was set.
When she first started using her computer with linux on it she didn't know hot to make a space, I had to teach her about the space bar.

We might even be able to catch the aurora borealis. Wow, wouldn't that be great!
Even better this is the first clear night we have had here in Houghton, Michigan in weeks.
