Oh yeah! I switched over to Linux after I noticed that Red Hat 5.0 included TeX/LaTeX (and emacs and gcc). This was in 1998, one week after I bought my first PC.
Eric Raymond (in The Art of UNIX Programming, p. 299) pointed out that Xanadu's refusal to accept dangling links made it difficult to implement. I didn't see anything about that in the posting.
The US is planning to have an army of 462,000. Even with 2 million, how much of the earth can we cover. How many countries could we occupy at once (or is this to be hit and run?)? And if we occupy countries, we have the same problem of distinguishing between friend or foe.
But it's even worse than that. The "==" sign is for identity, whereas the poster used it to denote attribution, i.e. "Windows is something that is difficult to use", instead of "Windows is identical to difficulty of use".
It's not the allocation of names, but of IP addresses that is critical. What if Geramny awards 123.45.67.8 to one company, and France allocates it to a different company? How would one (pardon the pun) resolve the issue? Granted, both are in the EU, and so might resolve it within the EU. But what about conflicts between nations that are not so related?
The US is having difficulty containing Iraqi insurgency. How it would handle the rest of the world is beyond me. Also, France's lack of aircraft carruers isn't going to be much of a problem for it defending France.
OK. Let's say I lose menu.lst (a list of bootable kernels). I'm hosed. Except that I can recover by using knoppix, and then edit (or restore) the file manually using a text editor. If the file were binary, would it be as easy to restore?
Most Linux system config files are in/etc, with the user config files in the users' directories.

But then, why use Visual Studio instead of emacs? The latter is somewhat less expensive.
True, but the school is not the legal guardian of its students outside of school.
Because we don't want our students picking up Indian accents.
I thought that your post may have been negatively moderated because the moderators believed that you meant John Kerry's running mate.
Is red eye confined to the pupil, or does it occur with the iris as well? In the secind case, making the red eye black may not be very good.
I believe he meant John Edward, the Crossing Over guy.
It doesn't require actual changes in jobs as long as productivity increases.
But didn't Engelbart actually produce a mouse?
What happens if Document A includes Document B, and Document B includes Document A?

But even Tanenbaum would have to give Linus an A in Cat Herding.
And it's not as though Japan was the only country to get such treatment. How about the residents of Hamburg and Dresden, don't they count?
Chief Security Officer at Microsoft? Isn't that like being Chief Ethics Officer at Enron?
You find php's pdflib inadequate for your needs?

You are correct about Rumsfeld.

Buy do they include xpdf or kpdf?
And without PCs, what would the market have been for an OS?
Ever hear of the concept of "billable hours"?
