I always treasured linux as a geeks OS, secure and fun to use. But now that it's becoming mainstream, I think there are going to be more and more viruses created, attackes made, and security holes exploited. While I'm all for Linux taking the place of Wind0ws, I have decided to switch to FreeBSD. I like having a OS with a small user community. It makes you feel like like you are in a class all on your own. Plus I think that the daemon is just so damn cool:) Currently downloading: FreeBSD 4.10 for amd64.
Long live Open Source!
Funny that you mention Gagné's book, because my friend relied on it to switch his small buisness over to linux. After using it to aid him through his quest away from the world of windows, he has become a very satisfied linux user. So far hes saved over $2k by switching to linux from windows 2000. He and I are working to get his apache server up now for his new website.:)
Hehe piss Micro$oft off and give them a taste of their own medicine:)

Should Star Trek Die?

· Score: 1, Insightful
You do have some interesting points, but overall, you post makes me believe you dont understand star trek at all. Archer is attacking the Xindi because he is ordered to. He is a soldier fighting a war. The Xindi attacked earth, and are going to attack it again. Humans have no hope of defending themselves against this war machine, not anything like the Superpower US attacking small nations, who support our enemies. Furthermore, what right do the Vulcans have to tell humans whether we are ready or not to explore space. The Vulcans seem much more abusive and bully-like than the Humans in Enterprise because they consistently believe that they have the authority to decide the fate of other races. True Humans may not have been ready to enter cosmic society, but that is not the responsibility or the right of the Vulcans to decide.
I do think that Sato and Mayweather should expand their roles as they happen to be my favorite characters. T'pol was not verbally assaulted by Archer for being a female, it was because she was a Vulcan and he held a tremendous grudge against them for holding Humans back, which he later was able to put aside (for the most part). I think T'pol has come to see Archer as a good friend, rather than someone she is attracted to. I do not in any way see T'pol as a ships whore, just for developing a relationship with Tucker. They are developing a real relationship in the series and i think it will be even more interesting when we see him go to Vulcan with her at the premier of season four.
I think Enterprise is a huge improvement over Voyager because Voyager had far too much emphasis on one ship and one crew alone. Star Trek is about what humans may become, if we attempt to better ourselves. If you had read anything about Gene Roddenberry and why he created the saga, perhaps you would not hold the opinions you do. I think Roddenberry was tired of seeing humans in the position we are. Generalizing we are greedy, self centered, immoral people as a whole, and i think Roddenberry wanted to make a series to inspire people to want to better themselves.
Star Trek is not pro-war, and in the end Archer was able to come to a diplomatic solution with the Xindi. The Xindi attacked because they feared for their survival. They were simply afraid.
I am truly sorry that you are blinded by your own opinions and cannot enjoy Enterprise for what its producers intended it to be.

Didn't see this coming...
