I installed a fresh Windows XP (SP2 integrated) box with internet connection. The firewall was enabled by default so I didn't get any worms or viruses. At least at the moment (and if you have at least a certain amount of brain in your head:) Windows can be quite, I don't want to say safe, but at least it is now safer than without SP2
If FOSS is to conquer the end user market, there must be quality standards for usability (giving the system a polished look) and documentation. Many projects already are quite good at the documentation but a lot lack usablility in terms of "I'm coming from windows and I want at least a bit comfort by configuring the system via a GUI".
That's not my opinion (I like the config-file-style)
but it's how less technically experienced people think.
And this is, after all the group of people that should be carefully driven away from monopolist software and at least use some free software.
...still use Kazaa. Especially less technically experienced ones because they find the other programs too complicated (and in most cases don't even know what this "spyware" is that they're all talking about)
Well, I think the idea isn't bad, but what happens if we start "mining" the moon for Helium 3 (and if the technology is available) probably for other elements? Could it be possible to change the moon's weight in such a way that it affects it's ability to create our tides and among them irreversibly changes the biological processes tied to the tidal changes?
I'm not a physicist but would that be possible?

You obviously don't: It's "Tera Electron Volt" (one r)
Nimtz is an electrical engineer, afaik, *not* a physicist. That might explain his somewhat strange conclusions...
An OCR system that runs on Linux. I've been waiting for quite some time for something like this.
OK, that should've been "almost nowhere in Germany"...
Too bad you can't get an ionization smoke-detector almost anywhere in Europe...
I especially like the new icon set ;>
the 13-year-old russian spacecraft they recently found rusting in some desert? SNCR ;)

the encryption is as powerful as they claim it to be, there will always be someone who breaks it.
That's as much as a normal server in a datacenter has o.O
