ZA will stop ask you if program X can access the internet using program Y. On the highest setting it will even monitor DLLs.
Though 90% of the users just click 'accept' w/o even looking at it enough to even see the 'remember this decision for this program' option, so they obviously aren't looking at the program name.
I got a Dell laptop... now I know better that you can't even get THAT from them.
I never had bought from an OEM, but its kinda hard to find parts for a laptop so I just decided to go w/ an OEM system but since I never followed them I didn't know how sucky Dell was. I put an Alienware sticker I got at a lan party (sponsored by alienware and nvidia/ati and several other big companies) above the Dell logo. I also pulled off the Intel and Windows sticker.
If you already have an AMD 64/Opteron based system you can simply drop in a dual core cpu (may require a BIOS update). I hope my dad doesn't decide he needs a dual core AMD 64 (he got an AMD 64, 1 gig ram, and I talked him out the top of the line video card, and all he does is use Office and IE).
Most browsers will show a warning when it sees the certificate is invalid/signed by someone you don't trust. Though if they don't understand the "THIS SITE'S CERTIFICATE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED" message, then I don't think theres anything that could help them short of not being allowed to use the computer.
KDE 4 will be amazing, it will be loads faster than 3.4. 3.4's interfaces are very good, and amazingly similar even without a HIG (when the HIG it will be intresting what they will have to say). OpenUsability is also helping improve the UI in areas that lack. KDE is really perfect for the person that wants a really powerful desktop, because of the great amount of options you can set without having to hunt around in obscure configuration files and man pages to come up with variables to use to make it operate a certain way. Also its nice to be able to define your own hotkeys:-D.
All his security would be instantly destroyed if you simply used a Knoppix boot disk, and if he used a BIOS password and set it to only boot from an HD, then take a screw drive, open the case, connect the HD to part of an external HD case, and plug it into your laptop running linux (so it wouldn't give a damn about any of the permissions set up on NTFS).
Or you could just steal his case and leave a post-it that says 'h4h4h4h4h4!', which would be funnier IMHO.
Or you could set it up so if will give the MSN bot pure shit pages (like an ASCII art middle finger/goatse). It would probably take a bit extra bandwidth, but it would be much funnier (even though you will be the only one that knows).
I'm sure Half Life 2 will run perfectly under OS X.
I'm sure Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2003 will run perfectly under OS X (have to have that for school).
I'm sure OS X is prefect for Starcraft: Broodwar.
I'm sure Guild Wars will run perfectly under OS X.
I'm sure Unreal Tournament 2004 will run perfectly under OS X.
Those are all the reasons I have Windows installed. If OS X can't even begin to fill the needs of having Windows installed, why would I even consider it?
Apple copied KHTML from Safari. Also Konqueror allowed you to search any of the sites in its web shortcuts list by simply typing the shortcut a ":" then what to search for (like "gg:newforge"). I say this feature beats out Safari's by a hell of a lot.
Also most of the things apple claimed MS copied has existed in Linux for a long time, especially 64-bits (my god how can he say something that stupid?)
"Ditto for every other Linux app (okay, I'll get flamed for that bit...)."
KDE uses DCOP as it's IPC system which makes it incredibly easy to script KDE apps, in fact you can use DCOP calls in KHotKeys to bind any arbitrary key combination to a command for any application that provides a DCOP interface (which is all KDE apps, and even some non-KDE apps).
Also most every action can be done from the command line, and BASH scripts have been around since almost the dawn of time.
Application scripting isn't something apple invented, also many Windows apps allow you to create apps that can control it through VBA, like all of Microsoft Office, and Bently Microstation off the top of my head. Also OpenOffice.org allows you to automate it using its own Basic, Python, or JavaScript macros.
KDE as well has had a News Ticker (RSS aggregator) plugin for its kicker for god knows how long (I've had it since I first installed Linux w/ Red Hat 9). KDE also has the Universal Sidebar (its was introduced a few releases ago, but its existed for a lot longer as the Navigation Panel in Konqueror). The Universal Sidebar in KDE includes an RSS aggregator, a media player, bookmarks, ways to view the filesystem, ways to view lan resources, ways to view internet resources (like FTP/FISH servers), and can have most any app embeded into it, like I have Universal Kopete installed which will embed the Kopete buddy list window into it.
All this on just KDE, I'm sure GNOME has many other features of its own that has existed for a long time too.
Shortcuts have to end with.lnk in Windows, that makes it a pain if you want to link any documents (actually that means you can't unless you manually change the open to '*.*' or your screwed if it determines the file type via the extension)
Vanilla kernels aren't meant to be used be end users (thats what the kernel devs said), they are meant to be patched by your distro and sent then to the end user.
And what he meant was that Fedora was meant to test out bleeding edge things in Linux (he never claimed Fedora was the only Linux distro, but Fedora Core X _IS_ a Linux distro).
Fedora includes KDE (use kde-redhat.sf.net for the newest versions), and GNOME (they focus more on GNOME than KDE). Fedora also includes a printer configuration program in it's System-Config suite.
When I sat up my printer I didn't even think of using System-Config-Printer though since KDE provides a way in the Control Center.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronounciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

FYI: AMD 64s include SSE2
What are you using that even has support for SSE2? Is it multimedia work?
So hes sueing himself? Doesn't sound very suprising.

"because you told gcc to unroll some loop (-funroll loops)"
Wow... I just realized it was "Unroll Loops" and not "Fun Roll Loops"
He was actually insulting the guy he sent the letter to (he had a hunch back and was short IIRC). Though your meaning still stands.
Isn't it more like the movie gave out pictures of the movie to the critics, the gets pissed when they are like 'wow... this took how many years now?'.
Maybe that laptop is the one with all the codes to launch all the nukes? In that case I have to say:
He better be using SSL for the e-mail...

Um...?

You mean MSN is the default homepage, not the default browser.

Skype is free, but not Free (as in open source).
