Remember the reason the DOT doesn't want to upgrade is because it needs ie6 compatibility for its websites. So because ie7 is better towards standards they won't use it. And the reasons that Office and Vista are lumped in there is because they upgrade to ie7. Frankly I wish the websites were better so the DOT had the option of upgrading to a better version of windows, or even the possibility of changing to another operating system.
They had a bug which screwed up credit card entry in konqueror, I reported on it and a month later I noticed the bug had been fixed(who knows when it was actually fixed). I would have to say thats fair given they had a bug in the first place and they never bothered to tell me it was fixed, but they actually fixed the bug.
Xen is going to blow everything out of the water when the openmosix patches get finished. KABLOOMEY to everything else, though I could see still using vmware ESX for businesses that still have to use windows.
I disagree, personally I see this as a similiar idea to that toolbar that was supposed to eat spammer's b/w. I see this as similar to what happens at my school (binghamton.edu) a bunch of students found a paper objectionable to them. The paper allows a student two coppies of the paper, and they all took 2 and threw them out. Dont like it but I feel it is justified. He was making a statement.

Maybe your firefox 1.5 crashes all the time, Mine however doesnt. My version stuff gives me this "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051220 Firefox/1.5". I find alot of the time when people's firefox is crashing all the time that they have 1 to many extensions, or a buggy extension. Good luck tracing down the problem.
Currently typing on a dell latitude csx 12inch model ( now adays has about the same footprint as a 14inch laptop {people switched from messuring horizontal width, to diagonal}). All I can say is this is not true. I am currently shopping for a laptop for my girlfriend (after she borrowed my laptop and fell inlove with laptops). So I have been going around and looking for laptops, she has only four requirements, fairly cheap, small, has a fullsize keyboard, and uses a touchpad. Which essentialy means a 14inch laptop. Gateway doesnt sell one, dell doesnt sell one with a decent processor. Lots of places simply dont sell a 14inch laptop. Lots of companies dont care about consumers anymore, case inpoint, dell sells a laptop that is big enough for a fullsize keyboard, but instead puts large boarders on the side of the keyboard and puts a smaller KB. Personally we might end up holding out for the x86 macs , because neither of us care to try and setup flash on a ppc linux laptop. Thoguh we are not sure if we want to settle for one as it also has one major flaw. Who in there right mind creates a button so large that you can hit it with all four fingers at the same time? Some companies obviously care lots and offer a range of options, Lenevo has great ranges in laptops, and only have one problem, the nipple in the middle of the keyboard is big, and gets hit by her typing and is otherwise annoying. Pretty much inconclusion ya theres small laptops and big laptops, but not really any inbetween, and yes a 15inch laptop is a big laptop.
Ya every bit as effective and legally-binding. Uhm ya they are both useless. This is because both parties have not agreed to the "contract" at the bottom. I did some research about this when I realized a firm I worked at, started putting these at the bottom of their emails. They thought they looked professional, I thought differently because before researching them I was nearly positive that they didnt have a legal standing.
Lots of companies use LCD pricetags because of the heavy fines associated when something rings up differently at the counter than whats on the shelf. With just one database system, all prices will be the same.
actually no, its probably to cover Linspire's cost for the school. Linspire breaks even, and gets huge PR, and people who are used to the linspire desktop, therefore they are creating a market for themselves.
How much is there to exactly say about creationalism.. And some people think god created us and the fossil records... There is not thing really left to say, I say teach it in the class, it will take less than 10 minutes for a teacher to fully cover, and I wont have to hear about this crap anymore.
You say that its unauthorized access if encryption was put up. But with or without encryption accessing a network you do not have permission to is deemed unauthorized access...
I think you are missing the point, the site is over 10 times as large as google. That and it has lots of shit to load and render...its like loading up a simple text editor vs a large word processor. Ya the second time its going to be just as quick, cause the shit is in cache.
Yes this works great for copying(ctrl + c), but how about dragging files onto certain areas of programs... Such as loading a bunch of mp3's into a playlist. As more and more programs let you drop files into them, I find it the easiest way to go about things other than manually opening them up in the program. This feature would be incredibly useful for me. Personally I think some combination of holding left click and using the mouse might also be helpful.
I see the real issue here being support. He bought a product and had a problem. One expects support, he called got a run around and wasted much time. This is the real problem with companies now adays, not DRM. And also the real reason you should avoid Microsoft.
In other news Internet Explorer automatically downloads pictures linked to in HTML. Images could contain worms. And be executed by possible buffer overflows when image is displayed. Personally I would love rss intergration for most programs, an easy way to integrate things like changelogs in newer version notifications to decide if updating is worth it, etc etc. I have a feeling lots of cool stuff could be done with this power. I am all about delivering content formated how you want it, where you want it, when you want it. Microsoft looks like its on the right direction here.

As is said before, Ubuntu forks Debian, an ideal libranet was against.
Kanotix is a nice debian distro (uses debian sid). Though it lacks administrative extras, it does have all the usability that kde brings to the table.

right click the K icon and choose menu editor oh ignorant one
Ya because PETA doesnt think cows are mistreated.... You obviously arent a South Park fan.
Because coffee contains an addictive drug called caffeine.
