That's true, but never forget that society is just a bunch of loosely-coupled people, and sometimes people really don't know what's in their best interests
I thought your country was supposed to be about what the PEOPLE want, and not whatever a minority thinks is best?
and if you're doing nothing wrong, then you should be safe from bankruptcy, especially if the *AA has to pay your costs when they lose
And how are you going to win when you go bankrupt and have to settle?
is that theres something wrong with society when society is breaking laws at such an extent that it requires an automated process to identify and punish those offenders
If anything it means that society doesn't like those laws.
But then again, why should it be costly for the 'victim' in these cases to bring offenders to justice?
Because otherwise the *AA can use scare tactics to simply file a John Doe lawsuit against anyone, forcing them to either pay ${X}000 dollars without a chance to defend themselves, or get sued into bankruptcy.
The BIOS knows it's been hibernated and resumes immediately
Not on mine. On mine (when I had windows) if I put it into hibernation, it just saved all its memory onto disk, and then at next boot it just reloaded it.
1) A security flaw in an application is the responsibility of the company who created that distributed that application and it's their job to inform users and fix it.
What if the company has gone out of business? Not to mention that users don't want to have to update everything when a bug is found in something like glibc.
3) Users don't want to deal with dependencies. If you tell your computer to download and install, say, a video game, the user doesn't want to see your computer downloading funky-happy-mouse-cursors.pkg... they just want to see the game.
There. All the dependancy output gets piped to/dev/null.
And there are front-ends too as well remember. Also, if the package manager needs to download the dependancies, that would imply that you'd need to install them manually too. The whole point of a package manager is to avoid dependancy problems.
Also there is one big, big problem with your attitude here: If the user doesn't know, it doesn't matter
Memory usage does matter, if you want decent performance. If you load glibc/libpng/whatever 50 times, there will be a performance hit. We all know that. The users will know when their apps are running slower.

Last time I checked there isn't a 3.2GHz Palomino.

I dunno...perhaps because he was working on the port before Novell hired him?
Could be worse...I have a friend that pronounces it "gee-nome"
I could switch from Windows to Linux and never know the difference.
;)
Would they? My mum needed to use my Linux box for email...I set up KDE for her, put on a WinXP theme, set up Evolution, and left it for her to use.
Ten minutes later she still couldn't work out how to get her mail. She was still on the desktop
Wow! Your thinking outside the box just brought us into a whole new paradigm!
Stealing implies taking something away.
If someone puts your music on P2P and people download it rather than buying your music, you are simply not gaining, not taking a loss.
Look, I know this gets brought up every time, but Copyright Infringement is not stealing.
So tell me, who have I stolen from, and what have I taken? Because it doesn't seem that the *AA have lost anything.

This is targetted at enterprise environments, and they would just remaster the disc and put whatever settings they want.
This is just an expensive thin-client system.
You could make up the same thing with a terminal server, or just a linux box with a RAID array and a shitload of RAM over ssh.
It said it connected to a terminal server, not that it installed software onto the PC.
It also said that it doesn't depend on the host OS, which would preclude software installation of any kind.
My guess would be that it puts it into hibernation and then boots from USB.
How exactly does this do the job better than a Knoppix CD and VNC/X over SSH/rdesktop?
It will if you've got a generator ;)
When we make up new words, they sound so fucking retarded, like blog. Say it out loud. Tell me you don't feel like you just lost 100 IQ points.

This is about livejournal remember, it's not like it's a blog site where your IQ is expected to increase
Oops, yeah, forgot about the old ones that use OSS drivers.
I'd still get an nVidia though.
I thought Win32 needed to be ripped out of the OS before CLI-only operation was possible?
Am I the only person who thinks this is all insane?
Well if they would innovate in a way that the end users actually notice, that would be a good thing too.
The command line compilers are now a free download
Explain exactly how giving away a compiler for free is innovation.
That just proved you're a mouse clicking monkey instead of someone who really uses software.
Or someone who isn't a programmer? The mouse clicking monkeys make up most of Microsoft's market.
I said they were the laws, I didn't say that the police followed them.
But schools allow students to use mobile phones outside of lessons, and the teachers need to carry them.
I use Linux. If you use Linux, never, ever, ever go with an ATI.
