Exactly. Since when have spyware companies admitted that they are, in fact, making spyware/malware? They never admit it even when their programs are outright hijacking computers.
"We" should be careful with bundling proprietary applications that are free to use. You end up using all the proprietary applications, and freedom will vanish. It will also slow down Linux adoption on other platforms if the applications people use are proprietary.
Signals always find some way to escape. For security I'd use cabled networking.
My point anyway was, that the only reason I would buy this is to escape interference.
This must be some of the same parents that are so restrictive with computer usage that all their children ends up as low-level gamers instead of tech-heads.
They seem to know so little, yet they feel in position to restrict their childrens use of the computer.
BølerLAN is held by me and some of my friends two times a year. Around 60-70 people are coming each time.
The event is being held at the local school. We are also lucky that the district council is sort of sponsoring us with manpower that is used for security and running a nice non-profit stand with various food and candy.
The killer event is the Quake 3 Special Event. It is a concept that i borrowed from CodeBreaker. Two rounds of deathmatch that lasts 20 minutes each. 38 of 60 people joined the game, and we had much more fun than with Ut2k4 1on1:P (for the record, codebreaker had 200 people in one game).
Yes. I also prefer IIS over Apache anytime. Only issue I have had is the \tagged\by\~~~~-folders that appears in the IIS documentroot over the night. Weird, but they are filled with warez, so I'm not complaining.
Since I'm too cheap to buy paintings and other shit for my naked walls I decided to hang defective components on the wall. Recently a laptop here broke, and it looks really cool with all the internal parts hanging on the wall along with a dozen open harddrives and some atx motherboards. For things like defective cdroms and such, just open them up a bit so people can see the guts. In most occassions, this looks really good in the room your computers are at.
You say that like we dont get screwed by the american disney as well.
And hey, the DRM screwdriver would probably not have the sufficient rights to unscrew the DRM screws anyway.
A Dell Dimension under the desk with an LCD sitting on the desktop seems like something they'll have a chance of still wanting in their room when a few years of growing up have passed.
What? The Disney Computer is the coolest thing ever. Try bringing it to your favorite LAN-party.
SuSE also has a good repuation of GPL'ing their work where as Linspire won't even offer a free download AFAIK.
Well, Linspire offers free download from time to time, and they support a lot of open source projects (e.g reiserfs and nvu), plus, they gpl their works (lsongs, lphoto). Just to point that out.
As far as I know, BMW doesnt give out their car/engine specs to other car repairs other than their own. This is somewhat similar to your Nissan example, because this also prevents other people from fixing.
There are several guides out there which shows how to boot DamnSmallLinux from a USB memory stick. The boot process can easily be ported to a floppy, which then reads the rest off the USB stick.
DamnSmall is based on knoppix, so any other knoppix based distro should also work out.
Example howto (which I followed.):

(you put the boot image on the floppy instead)

Remember Office 11 (Office 2003)?
My stuff will last forever because it can be format-shifted. This is essentially why we do not want copy protection.
Shared Source is meant to satisfy those that think that Open Source means it is more secure because people can view the source.
And what if some crazy court decides that the GPL is invalid? Woldnt CherryOS still be guilty, as they now have no license to redistribute at all?

Because they do, in fact, earn their money that way. Spam is profitble, so is intrusive ads on the intarweb.
This is why it is important to have default settings that do not even ask you to install something unless you put the site in an allow list.

Knoppix-std has full ntfs support via captive ntfs. Only requirement is that you have a copy of ntfs.sys by hand.
Then you would be hacking the OS instead, becaus AFAIK Mac OS is limited to the chips that Apple want to run it on.

Their strategy is simple, delay, delay, delay until IBM goes bankrupt.
In theory, this is being nice to them. If this means increased sales that is..

wallpaper that can prevent hackers accessing secure networks via Wi-Fi
If its secure, why the wallpaper?
