What sort of power cords do these machines take? I work on any sun equipment, but I do admin a three frame IBM SP, S/390, RAMAC, and Enterprise Storage Server, and there's no WAY anyone could trip on the power wire. The cables are really really thick, and the "plugs" actually screw into the units (that goes for all the high end IBM stuff) so short of driving into it with a car, it's not going to go anywhere!
Why is the power cable even visible? Don't most machine room floors have a foot+ of clearance below them? Ours does, and that's where ALL the power cables go. If you walked into the room, you wouldn't see any cabling of any kind.
I understand why making a GPL version of Netware might be interesting, but is it really worth it? The one really nice thing about Netware is NDS, and we already have that for Linux, and most other major platforms. Novell seems to be betting the company on their NDS/Directory technology, not Netware, so wouldn't an open source GPL'd version of NDS be more interesting and perhaps more useful? (I have no idea if it'd even be possible to create a free NDS that's compatable with their version, but hey, it's a thought!)
Quicken is still the one app that ties me to Windows. I look at gnucash from time to time but the one feature that's really a time saver in Quicken is the ability to download your transactions AND pay bills. In one step I can download all my latest visa/mastercard/discover/back accounts/stock accounts/stock quotes and transactions.
Now I have no idea if this is some proprietary deal these company's have with Quicken (wouldn't be amazed if it were that way) but if not I'd LOVE to see that feature added! I wouldn't use quicken if I had to type in every transaction I made each day.. to me that seems like as much work as a paper/pen register.

Does anyone know what the legal issues associated with this are? I mean, does anyone really care that much about what a map of the world with each timezone highlited looks like?

Seems strange to me.
