At NCSU, where I went to school, it was quite the opposite. Just about every computer lab had your choice between Windows (XP usually, sometimes 2k), Mac OS X, or Solaris (running *box). We even had a linux computer lab with our own linux distro (Red Brick Linux).
That's not very easy, you'd have to show it'd be obvious to the average practitioner at the time the first disclosure was made. Generally, that only happens if there are lots of similar examples so the innovative leap is very very small.

My first thought about Microsoft is that the fact they are Anticompetitive HAS to make their distributers bitter. I mean, think about it. Dell, HP, and other manufactuerers are slowly moving to linux -- they, like many technical users, are tired of being pushed around (owned?) by Microsoft.
I think that when Microsoft got too cocky, and too intrusive, they sealed their own doom. They aren't going to be "destroyed"... but I feel they will be forced to remake themselves in a similar way to IBM.
In the beginning God created the dos and the windows. And the Windows was without stability, and void; and blueness was upon the face of the CRT. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the code.
And God said, Let there be linux; and there was linux. And God saw the linux, that it was good: and God divided the linux from the windows. And God called the linux 0wn4g3, and the windows he called suck4g3.

Nothing important. That's the point of the grandparent.
I was wrong. Waimea is OK, just the default config is horrid.
It is set to scroll desktops when your mouse even acts like it's going to the edge of the screen:
settings I changed in/usr/share/waimea/waimearc to make it usable:
change 4 to 1
change 3x3 to 1x1
I know the whole philosophy of debian is built around CHOICE and FREEDOM. But, at some points, just make a fucking decision for the consumer, will you? You're probably not going to alienate any zealots if you just go ahead and autodetect the network adaptor without creating a committee and waiting for someone to second the motion.

And I was thinking the fact I was at 13% was quite impressive.
that doesn't mean we have the right to trample on artists who choose to sell their music to make a living
Playing music at a dentists' office != trampling artists rights
to playing music for the sheer artistry of it? I play music, and just the fact of someone WANTING to hear it would make me happy.

I've been working on computers for 10 years, and I've seen it happen three times.
It quite sucks.
This patent looks in order. Early enough that there's a low likelyhood of prior art, and it pretty well covers any auto-updating system.
My only thought is that maybe we could kill it with the obviousness clause.
Not a good idea. On a lot of old boxes, unplugging the keyboard when the system is on zaps the keyboard port, effectively RUINING the motherboard.

Fun fact: "Alan Smithee" is an anagram of 'i.e., the alias man.'
Um, no it's not. Count the i's in each. alan smithee --- the alias man.
Someone break out the -1 Dumb mod, please.

OOo has a --very-- active marketing project. Just with Mac OS X port... there is nothing to market.
AFAIK most of the voluneer Carbon guys have quit -- that is probably the biggest need in OOo right now -- carbon developers.
THAT is awesome. Post how to do that on my forum :)
BSD is dying (netcraft...)
MS is dying
Sun is dying
Ad nauseum...
DOS is still alive as a great platform for limited uses.
If you need some utilities to go along with freeDOS, try my site, Old Os or if you have problems setting it up try our forums.

Using it with Gnome 2.6? I'm running AMD XP 1700+, 512 mb RAM, GF FX 5200 (nvidia drivers) as the WM for gnome 2.6, and it's unbearably flickery.
Just to save some people compile time. I compiled this on fedora. It's slow, flickery, and generally sucks on my Fedora Core 2 box.
Change your /1/ to a /1.93/ in your sources.list.d/mirror.select.list and you'll have FC2test3 when you dist-upgrade!
ACC support? I'm sure it'd hold OGG or MP3 encoded ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) basketball games. That'll really get ya yelling.
