Well its more like digital showing flawless quality where analogue would show some fuzz, but too much fuzz and digital dies completely where as analogue still shows something.
Its better than analogue if you dont have a strong signal, but you still have enough.
No they dont. The filesystem can get fragmented, but thats a different matter which also applies to flash. While they are still working, they will always pump out the same speed.
Their current system isnt neurosurgery either. I find it quite easy to understand.
You get the opposite extreme as well remember. Linux hasnt changed *minor* version number since 2003 and Wine took many years just to hit version 1.
On the other hand KDE 4 has had many sub versions which makes their naming scheme legitimate. They started in 4.1.70 or.60 I think and the version I'm currently running is 4.1.96. I havent updated to 4.2 final yet.
They are using the version numbers correctly, just slightly differently to normal and they are releasing very often (every 6 months).
It took him 5 days to bork Linux? How long with a unaltered XP installation?:P
Next time give him Linux *without* the root password. He doesnt need it to use the computer and he cant bork it then. He would probably have more flexibility than your locked down XP.
Windows makes it way too easy for morons to do their thing.
Put any of those three types on Linux and lets see how much damage they can do. In all three, no matter what they do, the core system remains fully intact.
Yeah no one uses Linux. Yahoo (ok fine BSD), Slashdot, Google, and so on all dont use Linux.
Its a tiny target and no one would bother writing a virus for it because they wouldnt be able to harness millions of fast servers with plenty of resources and fast internet connections.
Any idiot can write a virus for Linux but who would bother?
There is bloat in the shell, but there is more bloat in the underlying system. Using a shell doesnt make Windows a nice stable, fast operating system does it?

It brings it back to full speed, but I'd bet that it returns to the slow state much faster.
That was DOS 6.5 not 7.
You seem to have forgotten DOS 6.
No, 2k was for businesses, XP was for home.
The game limitations were deliberate.
They were designed to cover different markets.
Erm back when XP was released, a year after 2k, the two were very much identical fundamentally.
Its just that Microsoft maintained XP and let the 2k branch die.
Of course the Windows 7 kernel has been solidly finished for some time.
Its the same kernel that Vista has.
Well wireless is perfect for normal traffic, but if your moving files around then keep a cable handy.
Thats what I do at work.
At home I have gigabit ethernet everywhere so the benefits of wireless disappear.
The choice of any mail client, no extra HTML/JS/CSS to download all the time, faster, more options/flexible, etc...
Wasnt a problem for us Aussies.
20 million people, country the size of the US, and we have a pretty decent mobile network.

You can if you edit the config file. :)
That stops working when your dealing with a beast as big as KDE.
Its not a single product. Its hundreds working together.
4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 have each had alphas, betas and RC's.
I'm not so sure about that because I've used KDE 4 with effects on a P3 laptop with Intel graphics.
Worked fine. Tad slow but still surprisingly fast.
I havent seen it lock, but you can very easily disable the autodetection and leave it off permanently.
I turned off the detection and left it on so my screen doesnt flicker when booting.
Its just a checkbox.
When your limited to having 3 windows open at any time (i think that was the main limit), there is no point at all getting it.
Its if you distribute it at all, not if its distributed with GCC.
There is a clause in the GPL about how other software can interact with it.
Plugins have to be GPL.
I get 2 spam in my inbox every day with gmail.
Mind you I have seen up to 40,000 spam from the last 30 days in my Spam box.

It was a afterthought?
I swear in many places it wasnt a thought at all.
But can you actually do anything from the shell? :P
