Why the hell isn't that fully autonomous? I mean, robot doesn't get any response from home for some time, switch transponder, do a hard reset, whatever. Why would they have to instruct it to do something the robot should be able to figure out by itself?
Antarctica is boring and very restricted to military/scientific missions. A commercial/civil mission to Mars would attract a lot of interest by the media and help improve the technology and get the experience needed to settle somewhere else. Of course, we wouldn't be moving many people there, just enough to start a human colony.
That's true. As a long time Linux user I've given up on trying to convince other to switch. Now I prefer them to switch to standards, so I can use my Linux, they can use their Windows and we can communicate without.DOC,.XLS and other "standards" getting in the middle.
Standards are the future.
Perhaps because we know M$ buys all benchmarks and reports, and most Linux benchmarks are unbiased, show real world tests, are unpaid and represent community interest, not companies profit interests.
"Disable attachments. It's was a dumb idea in the first place - it presents opportunities for malicious behavior, harbours company secret dissemination and promotes unnecessary clutter."
Why? Because of a stupid Inoperating System like Windows or a do it all typewriter like Word? I don't have that problem with my Linux, and certainly many people don't have that problem using Windows or Mac.
"Refer to a url pointing at a share within the company instead."
We know URLs have been falsified before and still are. What's next? Prevent URLs outside the company? And then? Closing all access to the web? And then? Disconnecting from internet? And finally go back to the paper and pencil era? That because of some stupid program?
Webmail sucks. Why don't we use KMail in a KDE desktop using NX tech. to connect to our home PC? IPv6 provides easily always-connected devices. There will be no need to have a mail service, just roll your own mail service with your own domain.

"gnuLinEx is spanish for GNU Linux." It's GNU Linux for Extremadura.
a big reset button with neon lights.
Is not logic. Is convenience.

Well, I imagine some sort of worm disabling all PCs emulating WGA.
Oh, good, this is the kind of stupid and moronic "I'm a citizen of USA" comment.

a keyboard can think? Mmmm... that should be a brand new from MS.
Opera is built with QT library. Do you really think Mocosoft will sport a new browser built with open source technology?
Great. Now Darth Sidious will meet his Darth Maul.
