I think we can pull that off. We'll take and start replacing the redhat logos with the starfleet insignia. But, it should wait until the version of RHEL is 1701, so that we can call it the USS Enterprise Edition.
They're sending in the Boy Scouts of America? Now I really feel threatened. Oh, wait, I own more licenses for Windows(3.1/3.11/95/95OSR2/NT4 Server/98/98SE/XP Home/Vista Ultimate Beta2 & RC1) then I have in use? Man, I love Linux. Saves me from them scouts!
Note: I do have two comps running XP Home, one running Vista RC1, three running 3.11, two running 98SE, and one running 95OSR2. And I really do have the Certificates of Authenticity listed above, more then I have in use.
According to the Oxford English Dictonary: history
noun (pl. histories) 1 the study of past events. 2 the past considered as a whole. 3 the past events connected with someone or something. 4 a continuous record of past events or trends.
addition - from my the history dept. in my HS:
History, n, Written interpretation of past events
In other words, history has multiple angles, to understand an event one must find as many as possible. By banning wikipedia, they eliminate multitudes of angles.
Considering all of the DRM junk that I keep reading about (and enjoying mp3s to avoid the complications), I do not see anything wrong with watermarking. I don't feel that hacking is an issue (if someone hacks into my comp I want them to tell me how they got through Verizon's portblocking). And an article like this when I have mod points too....
On my laptop I'm currently dual booting XPsp2/VistaRC1. While I've not worked with the release version, I was quite impressed with RC1 & 2. Not had any driver issues except a slight PM issue(doesn't recover from standby or do screen brightness control). But, on the plus side, on a 1.7GHz Celeron w/ 512MB RAM I'm running(not walking as Beta 2 did) Aero, and have seen graphics card improvements (the ATI 200M is still a POS, but its slightly better under Vista. Try the POS out under Linux w/ OpenGL to get find out why I refer to it that way). On better systems, I've not noticed game decrements, using CS-Source, HL-2, and FEAR as the test games. The device manager is finally available under the Control Panel, and I no longer push Start to shut down the comp. The Start menu itself has improved, for the first time since Win95 - no more pages of expanding menus. The touchpad driver has improved, and now I can use the scroll functions under FF. My only complaint is my virtual cdrom driver no longer works, and I'm using the MS one (download located here)! And aside from the OS using more RAM (which XP builds up to anyway...), I am quite happy with the preformance (guess that's from when I used to "crawl" KDE 3.0 on a P1 box w/ 49MB ram...). As far as the DRM issues go, don't do anything that would cause such a problem under Vista! Keep an XP box up and running for that problem, or, as I do, use Linux for torrenting and ripping CD's/DVD's. No Vista DRM there! I will also add that I am quite happy with WMP11, my previous choice was to just run the system under linux or VMWare Linux to use amaroK or XMMS. So, I fail to see what all of the grief about Vista is from. I did not like Windows XP, and will be quite happy to not have to carry XP disks and CD keys for fixing people's computers, so I don't have to look at the welcome screen after an HD format. I hope that most people will opt to upgrade to Vista, or switch to Linux.

When I first started with Linux (back around 01) I purchased The Unix System Administrator's Bible, Seconded Edition that came with Slackware 6.1, as well as Linux for Dummieswhich came with Red Hat 6.1. I'll also add that at the time I did not have internet at home, so learning from online guides would have been utterly unthinkable. Just my two cents.

-Inconsistency between control panels (too many tools do the same thing, scattered around the system).
Part of that has to do with the fact that Red Hat wrote their own control panels, for user ease; while including the default ones, for desktop consitancy
-Still can't play.MOV files (i.e. movie trailers)
-Can't play divx out of the box
-Flash wasn't installed with Firefox.
Yeah, there are probably ways I could fix the last three, but come on, these should be standard. Are any other flavors of Linux ready for the consumer desktop? I mostly just use it for research, because it's a good platform for that. I can't stand it though for just a desktop OS. I've done slackware before, even scarier to me. Any other distro suggestions?
The GPL makes it so that Linux distro's cannot be distributed with the codecs, and other non-OSS (flash, acroread, etc) - so FC cannot come with them. But, neither does a base WinXP install - you still have to download Quicktime, DivX, Flash, Acrobat Reader, etc; therefore from a base install FC is as much of a consumer desktop as Windows XP - more infact because of the extra bundles such as NFS, SAMBA, OpenOffice, GIMP, etc. People don't see that part though - most pre-installed XP boxes already have the extras added in, as would a Linux desktop purchase should as well (Or a good buddy installing it should do it too - I know I do for my converts). And why can't you stand FC? Letting us know can help us to steer you to a different distro.
Ouch - Just installed IE7 and WMP11 - the beta's were much better
Just installed the technical refresh for Office 07 - beta 2 had more functionality by default
Guess Vista'll follow suite?
Just be in the range of a Protoss Arbiter - they cloak everything but other Arbiters. The Arbiters remain visible due to the massive khydarian energy required to fuel the field - the Khydarian disrupts the field immediatly about the Aribiter rendering it visible. Works sorta like electric fields, when you think about it. (Think electric fields in various surfaces, esp conducting shells.

I've used armanox for years. On Battle.net, my original account was armanox. A friend of mine lost their D2ex disk, and gave me their account, freakbeast. I transfered everything to the new account, including my character name. A month ago, Blizzard disabled freakbeast's account because he aparently had an item that apparently was traded from some guy's account who hacked the game. So thus I've lost my necro Taloron and my Paladin Armanox, but, how long will it be before they ban the armanox account? Or just delete my new Necro, giganecro because his name implies a rank? Besides, then I'd also lose my WarCraft 2 record.......
But either way I'd be ranting myself if I suddenly found out I can't use armanox any more because some company uses it too. I had armanox about the same time they did in 1999, but in reality, I would no longer be me if I had to give up armanox.

At one point in time, I overclocked an old Pentium system, added two more drives than it should have held, and broke the fan.

The puff-puff girl can be found in Dragon Warrior I & II for GBC
Of course the game follows the tradition DW formats (battle commands, slimes, etc). It just goes to show that one cannot improve perfection.
