My dad's always complaining about pop-up windows in IE, and I just say "Dad, why don't you use Mozilla?" I've explained Mozilla to him in the past, and he still doesn't use it. Why? "My business doesn't use Mozilla. I can't use something my business doesn't use." Same deal with OpenOffice. Nobody else is using it, why should he?
Joe User is just being fooled by Microsoft FUD when it comes to Open-Source. What the open-source community needs is some central point for Microsoft-FUD-dispelling. Just a (professional looking) site that answers Linux questions.
Section 38:
The NSA monitors and logs all activity on BushNet. Section 39:
Secure communication over BushNet (SSL, SSH, PGP, etc.) is prohibited.
Anyone violating this policy will be labeled a terrorist.
I'm currently in Jr. High School and everyone realizes that I'm far ahead of the rest in computers.
My school runs on a network of Mac OSX machines. So therefore, I can get at the terminal from the library and SSH to my home box to do some real work.Most of the reason I'm allowed to do this is because my sysadmin was a former Unix hacker and knows that I mean well.
He'll often allow me into the school network room where the fiber from the other schools in our district comes together and is routed into the 5 T1 lines that our school has. That requires some trust.
He shares the same hate of Windows with me and my friend, he once let my completely nuke a Win2K box and put Gentoo on it.
I guess my school career isn't as bad as some, but English still sucks. Why can't I take Java yet?
My god... I think that once CSS really starts to be implemented, the LinuxBIOS people are going to get tons of people helping with that project, or they're really going to start improving it like crazy.
Then we're going to have M$/SCO vs Linux and M$/Phoenix vs LinuxBIOS.
I'm a 14-year-old Linux geek. I don't look at porn. My friends all say that I'm odd and strange and I'll end up horribly messed up for life. It's not that I'm odd, it's just that I've walked in on my (50-year-old) dad looking at porn one-too-many times.
So here's a somewhat interesting point of view on internet restrictions: should parents have rules, too?

Yep.
Definitely a Microsoft innovation.
My family resists because "my clients don't use Mozilla" or "Mozilla isn't the standard."
Seems odd, doesn't it? Mozilla is one of the only standards-compliant browsers around.

Free?
Have you read the EULA yet?

Wait.
Does this mean that XP is the same codebase as NT 3.1, but with loads of changes?
Because if it was, that would explain a lot...
Go with Ultramix.
Not only will you get some decent exersise, girls have a tendency to be better than guys at dancing.

Anyone else see a pattern here?
