Think about how Sun would have taken a totally opposite direction if Google bought them. Instead of Sun starting to suck they're be pretty awesome by now.
I remember in High School they disabled access to C: via My Computer. Well you could open the properties of any shortcut and click Find Target and you're in. Or getting into Control Panel via Windows Help's "Show Me" feature.
I've also heard there may be some DRM in OS X to prevent hackers from running Mac OS X on a generic PC -- but I'm not clued in on that area sufficiently to make a positive assertion of that. Yet I'm making this reply from my Athlon 64 x2 - running OS X 10.4.8.
That's a bad analogy though. Prostitution is better. Just walking up to the undercover cop and offering to give her money for sex gets you busted as a john, whether you go "really seriously your honor, i was just doing it as a joke to show how unfair THE MAN IS" or not. That's because soliciting is illegal.
A few months ago, Aliant(sympatico)had smtp blocking in and out, except to smtp1.ns.sympatico.ca (their smtp server). This made it impossible to run a mail server at home.
Now they have just blocked outgoing smtp, so I've finally been able to run a mail server, but I need to relay email through their server for it to work. Not a bad comprimise.
The community's new candidate for the poster child distribution, Ubuntu, recently unveiled the Live CD of its second version code-named "Hoary Hedgehog". Meant for people who like to be on the bleeding edge (and can live with the few odd bugs), Hoary might not be the distro for the virgin Linux user. But that's just one argument against a dozen which shout "Grandma use Hoary".
Anyways, the final Hoary is still a couple of months away with its release scheduled in April 2005. What we have here is the Live CD -- a preview of the things to come (Download).
I tried the CD on my lousy PIII-1.7 Gig Celeron box with 384 Megs of RAM and it ran without showing any signs of unstableness for 48 hours. It couldn't detect my Linksys Wireless card (no Live distro ever has), but detected my ATI Radeon 7000 graphics card and booted me into a 1024x768 environment. For comparison, the previous Ubuntu Live CD (Warty Warthog) throws me into a 640x480.
Desktop and Applications
The Live CD does take time to boot, detecting hardware, configuring devices, setting up network -- the same things Knoppix does -- but differently and slowly. But once booted you see a neat GNOME desktop, clean, wide, and brown. Ubuntu means "Humanity towards others" and the soothing music during boot reminds you of that. But the drum beat that is associated with every application start can only be compared to a "thud" and depending on how you use the system, can be quite irritating.
This Ubuntu Live CD comes with Gnome 2.9.4, OpenOffice.org 1.1.3, GIMP 2.2.2, Evolution 2.1.3.2 and FireFox 1.0. Expect these version numbers to bump up by the time the final Hoary is released.
There is Rhythmbox and Totem Movie Player and both have important plug-ins/codecs missing for playing MPEGs or MP3s and there's no other MP3 player. So I installed one using the Synaptic Package Manager which is a front-end to apt-get. (Did I mention Ubuntu is based on Debian?) From the graphical menu of Synaptic I selected xmms and was prompted to select its dependencies as well, which I did. Presto I can play MP3s. But where's my music?
As with other Live distros, this one also doesn't touch my hard disks. But unlike others it doesn't mount them either. The desktop has a sole "CD-ROM" icon. To use your partitions, create appropriate directories under/mnt and mount the device manually.
Since my Wireless card wasn't picked up, I plugged my wireless router using one of its ethernet ports to a standard ethernet card which was detected and configured using DHCP.
The Live CD packs all the stuff in three drop-down menus making it a lot easier for new GNOME users to find their way around. The Applications Menu contains all the application under its 8 sub-menu's; the Places Menu helps you get around to resources like the CD-ROM, your home directory, your network server and more; and the Desktop Menu lets you control your computer, by helping you change preferences or tweak system settings through the Administration sub-menu.
Don't try and look for a hard-disk anchoring option as the Live-CD is for demonstration purposes only, which means it cannot be installed.
So what's unique?
New applications, better configurability and a polished desktop, are things that one expects from every new release. So, what's so unique about this Live CD that the Ubuntu guys are calling it a "milestone release"?
The #ubuntu channel on irc.freenode.net is a nice place to hang out, have fun, and get answers. There I bumped into a helpful jdub (aka Jeff Waugh, a Ubuntu developer) who helped me understand what makes this release so special.
The previous CD was based on Morphix (a more-modular spin-off of Knoppix) while this one shares a lot of code with the install CD from the kernel up. Ubuntu now uses the same kernel everywhere, on the live CD, the installer and when installed. Additionally, the Hoary installer itself is a tiny bootstrap program, which is highly extensible, relatively easy to modify,
but not for tsunami relief. My English 10 class ended up bringing in two X-Boxes, 8 controllers and 2 copies of Halo 2. I brought in a crossover cable and we used school projectors. Teacher sanctioned it and maybe five teachers knew about the whole thing. We had a blast, and nobody was the wiser that would have caused us to shut down.

I'm twenty and still remember how to use MEMMAKER. Oh the joys of 640k.
I use the command prompt similar to yourself as well. And because of that usage, Winkey+R, notepad or calc or iexplore has become muscle memory.
I've had some shitty experiences with Aliant employees as I'm from Halifax, but nothing that would drive me that far. Christ.

It might run bootcamp.

us gov search for "confidential "do not distribute"".
The results are astounding, someone should get fired over this.
I know Ken (d3f) personally, and most of the ml.org staff. Ken would shoot someone for putting up a message like that.
Delete the Ubuntu partition(s), and then run fdisk /mbr from a boot disk, available from www.bootdisk.com

Yes. A nominal fee.

That's where I got my copy, and I recieved it on Friday.
You can get Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 for free right now.
It started slow, but eventually it ended up maxing out my connection downloading it Wednesday night (1.5mbit ADSL). I had it in under 5 hours.

If you have the adapter for your controller, you can use a cell phone headset.
I tought myself to read. I started with the start button on the microwave.

So you have the ability to mount /boot ro, or not mount it at all at boot time for extra security from stupid mistakes.
The first rule of Kibble, is that Kibble drives out non-Kibble.
Kibble is junk that seeps it's way into our lives unsuspectingly.
