It looks very impressive with the sheer amount of work that has gone into it but I can't help but thinking apart from geek value why? The about page doesn't seem to give huge amounts of insight
One thing lego always helped me do was learn to conentrate. I could spend hours just doing one thing. Kids now days seem to spend 5 minute son something then move on
As the old saying goes
"I'm sure my concentration span is...ooh look shiny thing"
One thing that I think most people would benefit from is a link to the net, or prehaps better a secure enclopedia. How many times have you thought "I must look up xys" and then forgot. To just have that information at your fingertips would be excellent. However of course it depends on how deep it all llinks in.
The last thing you want is a hacker breaking into your brain and controlling you. An army of zombies? No thankyou

I was thinking last night it would be cool if with the takeup of broadband, and some decent licensing why couldn't tivo connect to a P2P network so you could watch someone else recording of someone and have it streamed from multiple Tivo to yours.
That way you could watch the programs you missed

Its nice to see that the chairman has made a stand but has also made sure that they will remain compatible to the rest of the business world. As much as we might all like Linux to survive in the business world we need to be able to speak what everyone else speaks.
It might be good to have the moral high ground but its no good if you can't read your suppliers documents

If you could get lots of small chips to give high memory density, pack them into a PC and then setup a huge RAM disk with some permanent storage things would suddenly become a lot faster
Would all the caffine make your heart rate etc increase means that you burn energy quicker and therefor maybe making the body just that little bit fitter. Of course sitting down all day would undo it

If Yahoo does move to something else then it will at least drive google to keep improving or for something new and better to come along. The internet is about constant development and this can be seen to be a good thing

As nice as it is to have choice one things Windows brings it is a constant. Things normally work on most PC's. With each distro of Linux things aren't the same from one point to another which can be seen as a strength, however if things aren't careful it could come as a bad thing if infighting gets worse.
Of course KDE and Gnome do help but in this case standard should be a good thing

You can help but think they might of chosen another name to start with can you? Of course they might of been hoping for the success of the film rather than the story of the boat sinking

I've seen a few of these punctuation type spams. Surely it wouldn't be to hard to work on the subject line delete all puncuation (apart from spaces) and then run it through a baysian filter?

Knoppix comes in very handy when around and about as it will get your out of virtually any hole (short of rm -rf). Unstabled for debian doesn't mean things crash, it just means that they have not been totally tested to be totally stable

OK now prehaps this might be seens as a troll but being outside the US is there any special reason Penn State gets napster? Why not all universities?
