Why is speeding such a nuisance (sp?) to society? I would think that having a breathalizer installed in cars would be a higher priority. Think about it, which is more deadly:
Me driving at 85MPH on a 4 lane highway
OR
Me after a "power hour" doing 25 through a residential community.
Hmmm... well, at least the communities will make more money off of this "tax".
There needs to be a "If you answered no to all of these questions just because you don't want to be carted away" type of question. Anyone serious enough to want to kill would have no problem skirting this 'test'.
I personally like going for the Charles Manson profile.
I think that computer literacy all stems from the start point. I wonder what OS's the writer has had previous experience with. I believe that if the first OS I saw was Windows, I would be no where near where I am today with Linux.
I wonder if teaching children to "double click" on everything is actually lowering thier computer science.
Microsoft Needed the browser because they "cheated." They used it to distribute updates for Windows 95 (ADO, ActiveX stuff, etc.) There are a bunch of apps (WordPerfect 2000 uses IE5 for dig. signing, ICQ used parts of IE4) that require IE to be installed for functionality reasons.
Why they incorporated it with Win 98, don't know. It probably saved them time, not having to write the same code into both file windows and internet windows.
I'm sure that the Netscape issue was also influential, but probably not the main reason.
Since this is Corel's first real push into the Linux market, this whole thing doesn't surprise me. Think about it, they have been coding in the windoze environment for most of thier business. To them, the terms probably seem a little lax. I'm sure with time things with work themselves out.

If I can add to this.. What event would cause you to take down the internet?
Do you agree with the President's plea to cease hacking activities for Y2K, and do you think it will have an adverse affect?
"Those [filthy|pagan|heathen|whiny] americans, I'll show them....."
How 'bout the "nameless, faceless" IT workers who are going to party out the new year with a few checklists of tests......
And the plans to release The originals on DVD are? I would really like to watch Star Wars without worrying about destroying it.
So what happens when AOL/Netscape decide to take mozilla and roll it into a big happy Netscape 5?
Oh well, it will be nice to see IE have some decent competition again.

I thought both M$ and Mac copied from xerox.

Are there any businesses that actually depend on IRC? Well other than adult services :).
This article seems to promote the mentality of "Oh, it does every thing except flip over backwards, well I can't have that then."
