The thing is, interfaces are still relatively similar to how they were 20 years ago. We still use a CLI (not all of us, but enough to matter), and when in a GUI, the graphics have improved, but not much is really radically different.
I gave her an icon on the desktop that said email. I themed everything to look like windows. Evolution is clearly labeled with things like Send/Receive.
I should probably install thunderbird, she already uses that on Windows...but I'm not in the mood for compiling that, not after KDE;)
And it's not like KDE was looking different to Windows...the problem was that she thought Linux was going to be really, really, really different to windows, and then didn't double-click the Evolution icon on the desktop which I had renamed to "Mail".
The problem is people don't realise that two OSes can be different, but still have a similar interface.

I try not to think about it...
Could you elaborate? Why is it not feasible to negotiate a session at the router, and one to the site, and re-encrypt the data at the gateway?
Is there, therefore, anything (other than the cute name 'evil twin') to this story?
Yes. If they control the gateway they now have the capability to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
Your country actually allows you to send people to jail for planning to commit a non-jailable offense in the future???
But they did perform the act.
No, they said DOJ downloaded from them.
Yeah, I needen't bother, especially since ~90% of the time there is a windows machine on the end ;)
So then why is the charge only for conspiracy, and not for the actual crime which has already been committed?
They did commit copyright infringement. How is that conspiracy?
What I meant was, what's the point if I can just cut the fibre and put a transmitter/receiver pair in the middle?
Even if it is untappable, wouldn't it be vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack?
Lisp! ;)
Well, there is Steam for instance.
Substitute "computer" with "owner". You get the idea.
And just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't in the future.
If DRM ties a media to a single computer then there isn't going to be any loaning, is there?
As do I. Usually the first thing I do (if I start X) is start an xterm.
I don't know how other people do without it.

Umm...i thought terminal services is RDP?
To have half the project inside #ifdefs, make it very hard to maintain...I can understand his feelings.
Now if they just built in an abstraction layer everything would be fine.
Age of Empries II, which my son plays, simply will refuse to run if not logged in as admin
That was made in the 9x days, not designed to work on a multi-user operating system.
I was under the impression that Quicken is popular because Microsoft Money sucked....
It's already been done...I got a magazine (Atomic) that came with this already done. You could probably find it on the internet somewhere.

I did, but it didn't do anything at all.
