One feature I do wish from the hardware makers are good drivers for non-Windows OSs.
And yes ATI, I'm looking at you, all your cards are no better than onboard ones on Linux. Please don't wait until the games are here, 'cause by then NVidia will already completely own this rapidly growing niche.
"If you want to outsmart AND build faster/better/less buggy/stable software with datacenter/airfare/military specs you should get to start on C, C++ or Java."
Not wanting to sound like Captain Obvious, but some people really need to be reminded of this:
It's the coder who makes a faster/better/less buggy/stable software with datacenter/airfare/military specs, not the language.
A bad software comes from unskilled coders(and/or from projects with bad management), not from languages other than your favorite one.
The Microsoft sponsored design is a Mac Mini, a Nintendo Revolution, a Toaster and a Bookshelf?
I know the Xbox360 power supply can be a nice bread heater, so they have the toaster market covered, but does MS have competition in the digital boockshelf market?
Of course they go for quality, they have to keep up with the very high quality bugs they have. Each one can take out many systems at once! That's something even very skilled crackers have problems to do.
Also, what other company can deliver extra features in something so simple as metafiles? You can read, write and execute code and not even be locally at the computer. Doesn't it add quite a few new levels of Server and Desktop remote management?
Tsk, a bug going long enough unpatched becomes a feature after all.
I feel a bit sad when you consider that Daniel Robbins, founder and ex-chief architect of Gentoo Linux is one of the members of that Microsoft lab naysayer of truths.
And Gentoo is known to support almost all the major architectures the Linux kernel supports, and the distro did support as many hardwares back in April 26th 2004, the date of Daniel's resign as chief, as it does today.
Oh well, you can't really choose what your marketing department tells the world. At least I hope he overcome his personal problems of 2 years ago.
"The IP address, or Internet Protocol, is the unique numerical identifier assigned to each computer connected to the Internet."
It's hardly unique, except if you consider it to be 0-dimentional.
Many computers can have the same ip at different times. Also many computers can have the same ip at the same time within the same network. Indirectly, in hacking cases, even two computers can have the same ip at the same time and not really be in the same network. Well, even one computer can have some different ips assigned to it... or even many networks connected to the same computer... I could go on multiple people using the same computer... or many.
Ugh... this is funny, now even I don't know if I'm being insightful, informative, or if I'm trolling some modern physics.
Wow, I thought it was the other way around.
Most of the Microsoft Office features weren't originally developed by Microsoft. Windows itself is a ripoff of other OSes.
BTW, it isn't an Open Source idealogy, it's the world nature, mimic the best features, adapt and evolve; repeat while TRUE.
If you don't agree, please develop your own genes and back the ones you took from yours ancestors.

Now that NASA is overjoyed at playing Catch with large foreign objects, could they now clean their room?

Are they only delivering the keys?

Part III of the test should feature the filesystem behaviour during a Slashdot Effect.
I must say the filesystem they're trying in the current effect is really failing. No pages served booh!

Now put a glass window in the box so we can finally find out Schrodinger's Cat is dead or not.
I wonder what acronyms will they use for PHOTN, QUANTM and TRNSPHSC CHRNTN torpedoes.
Just because they're moving, it doesn't mean they'll drop the support and you will never see KDE again in the Novell world.
Any good distro should just support both, plus XFCE4 and any other good Desktop Environments, Window Managers, etc.
A really obscure architecture they don't support?
Consoles, Handhelds, Toasters?
Earthlings, say cheese! *Flash* Mr. Alien, your film developing estimated time: 26 billions years and 1 hour.
May I ask what's the in-joke between sharks and LASERs? I still don't get it.
Larry Wall sold Perl?!?!

How do you do URLs properly?
Taco, you should at least correct the spelling mistakes instead of Copy/Pasting the first commentary from the last news.
