...and greater use of predictive interfaces - where the interface guesses what you'll do next based on experience and learning, and has it ready for you just in case.
In my experience these interfaces sucks bigtime (think paperclip here...)
BUT! If these interfaces really could learn how you work without making any assumtions (like that paperclip bastard) about you, it would be really great! What i relly hate is when someone has already decided how I'm supposed to do things and try to force me to do them their way. (...still thinking paperclip here..:)
"My question is, when are distros going to start shipping with all services turned off by default? I can't imagine that any newbie is going to want to have finger, ftp, sendmail, etc running on their box. And for power users (like me), the very first thing I always do is go and turn off every single service."
Trustix does this. Or at least with very few (and securely configured) services by default.
...why you ask? Because of Linux. This is a good thing people!
And everybody that use M$ products deserves whats comming to them...they do have a choise, if they choose to run M$ on their servers i guess they like getting phonecalls in the middle of the night...:)
I learned in school that the OS is responsible for things like memory managment, scheduling and so on. Never have I heard about a GUI being part of the core OS! This guy must be insane! (Or rather more to the point, trying to sell OS X:)
My solution is do do something else that has nothing to do with computers that I'm good at. Usually I know the answer to the problem, but I'm blocked. After a while get really low self confidence. Thats why i do something else. When I realise that I can do something successfully I find the answer to the original problem.
"Only the US is geared up for the information age, with our corporations dominating world economy."
Dominating, yes. But let me give you some statistics from Norway. More than 50% of the population have access to the internet. >30% own their own computer. 90% of tennagers (12-19) own a cell phone. WAP phones is sold dirt cheap. (And are comming into regular use. You can pay your bills with the phone if you want). All schools have internet access for the students. Dunno how these figures stack up against US figures, but i think we're pretty wired up here...

Yeah, but whats the scoop on Windows XP then? Does it mean it sucks? Some hierto unknown numbering system soon to be the de facto standard maybe?
...bin Laden and others like him have the means to get their hands on crypto software that doesn't have backdoors in them. The rest of us won't.
So what the american congress is suggesting is that normal people can't have secure communications anymore. And where is the point in that?

Every new feature and function added on top of the shell and kernel represented more code, and more cost.
Duh...I guess OS X consists of...lets see here
#include
void main(void)
{
print("Hello World");
}
Pretty neat huh? The really cool thing about this is that you never have to touch the code again to add more features. They just happen!
