They obviously don't have a problem with tracking down and monitoring people. And they apperantly have bandwidth issue. Why don't they basically mail merge to SELECT * FROM `customers` WHERE `customers`.isinfected? Simple, cheap snail mail... nothing fancy.
Not that other operating systems are perfect, but from what I understand, some power grids are mandated to run Windows on as many of their systems as possible - ie. the technician/engineers are not allowed to evaluate what OS best meets their needs.
First of all, I question the assertion that the technology wasn't designed to operate at maximum capability, I would like to hear from the designers on that. That aside, using the BBC v. ISPs is a terrible example as the ISPs are just being whiny bastards. They are being paid for the the bandwidth THEY promised by both the BBC and the end users. This is like me buying a meal at a restaurant and then having the manager throw a fit when I say that I want the side item that supposed to come with the meal.
Also, I see no reason to automatically believe that an geeky type person like myself uses very much more bandwidth that the teen who is constantly using Facebook, MySpace and Youtube. While I am reading through wikis and django docs, others are watching stuff on YouTube
I can only imagine the people in charge over there emailing the lawyers and asking them what it means that the ISP is refusing to do what they want, and if they're even allowed to say no.
I frankly find the analysis to be flattering. I don't have to agree with who I am being compared with to appreciate the comparison.. only the qualities being compared are important.
It surely seems like you don't buy a song from ITunes, and you don't buy a movie from Blockbuster, etc. At the very least they should stop using the term buy.
I hear from a lot of people (I haven't investigated this myself) that a lot of their usability contributions all happen downstream, and so take longer, or don't at all, to go back upstream and be echoed out to other distributions.
Where is Canonical on that list? Or rather, are they represented there at all? I would think that at the very least they would get money from Dell to fix a few things. Slashdotters often like to bash RedHat for shedding their free desktop division, but the love for Canonical seems endless.

I don't see why they should even have to agree with Boeing in the first place.

Maybe so, but the US government has nukes, plenty of them, making new ones, and they aren't historically afraid of using them.

How often does something that puts restrictions on another thing actually help it?
Although, seeing the borg icon makes me doubtful about how long it will be optional for
RedHat is essentially that son who does everything the family needs, but is rarely acknowledged because he isn't 'cool'.
More on topic, I hope this works out, if only so it would reduce their costs as I like their services.
4000 lives is relatively cheap for oil.
Have you gone to a doctor about this? Doesn't seem normal.
If you can't tell the difference between what you're suggesting and the story, you may as well stop posting to /.
Because my desktop is Linux and my home server (connected to my tv) is also Linux.
Put put out a video telling every one how yahoo sucks, then close your yahoo account.
what about laptops?
Some people seem to feel that AD&D is critical to being a geek somehow.
Do we have any proof that this is true.

Frankly I resent that. I am part of that neither of the aforementioned groups.

So, thanks for the complement
aside from the large buttons, I like it... it seems more readable... not that I need to be reading Slashdot more.

OpenOffice is already adding support. I don't know why.
Any evidence of that?
