I'm reposting my comment from Dell's IdeaStorm site.
In late October 2007 I wanted to purchase a Core 2 Duo desktop to run Ubuntu and had decided on the Dell XPS 410n.
When I went to purchase the machine I discovered that not only had it been pulled from the scarce three machine lineup that Dell offers with Ubuntu but that I could find no news or information when a replacement (e.g. XPS 420n) would be offered.
I emailed Lionel Menchaca regarding how Direct2Dell would be the ideal place to announce changes of this nature, and subscribed to the Dell Linux-Desktops mailing list to watch for announcements. Nearly two months have passed and yet Dell's Ubuntu lineup hasn't changed. If Dell's marketing is to be believed and Ubuntu has arrived by popular demand I suspect Dell would be more successful if they offered it on more than just two pieces of hardware (currently the Inspiron Desktop 530N and Inspiron Notebook 1420N).
you still can't have two login sessions under the same user id
Windows 2000 Terminal Services allows for two sessions under the same user id. I occasionally run into this while administering remote servers via RDP; if a session is already connected you will get a second session for the same user account.
While constructing a building with doors that only open from the inside may not provide the equivalent safety as hiring security to watch your building it does provide a level of defense due to the nature of the building.
NAT routers are a poor man's firewall; not as secure as a real SPF firewall but usually far better than exposing internal resources to the harsh realities of the net.
It's great that you only use VoIP and BitTorrent on your public IP. For the rest of the world that uses SSH, SMB/Samba, HTTP, FTP, or other network resources your suggestion isn't practical.
I've seen many laptops and a few desktops with broken USB A sockets. Usually this is due to the user thinking the USB cable should really go in a certain way (like upside down) or that they really shouldn't need to disconnect devices like NICs, printers, or cameras before leaving with the laptop or device.
I can just see myself trying to explain to some executive why reflexively trying to turn the USB key was a bad idea, or that you shouldn't have to force USB key in, regardless of the temperature outside (works better when not inserted upside down).
Knoppix already supports booting from the network.

Some of the tools (e.g. Ethereal) didn't work the last time I tried booting from the network, but I was quite successful at loading Knoppix on multiple PCs simultaneously.

After I RTFA I found the hitb.org abstract; better than Inforworld, but still not too informative.

The RSS was up when I posted, and had numerous stories regarding a certain hex number.
No homepage, but the RSS is still there - http://www.digg.com/rss/index.xml
I see no reason to switch from 568B to 568A.
tasklist -svc (from cmd) will show you what services are contained within a svchost.exe PID.
#16 Simple windows management actions require two hands in Mac OS X (e.g. zoom full screen, Delete, etc.)
I agree, personality matters. I also dislike the tendency to pad the resume with technologies the candidate is unfamiliar with.
OT ans: IPX is IP Extended
If you put up a poll on Slashdot for:
IPX = Internetwork Packet Exchange
IPX = IP Extended
I'd expect the former to win.

You forgot to "write", thus it will come up with the same channel you were on before the reboot.
