You're confusing free - opensource with free - no money. MS will always stay closed-source, but they will charge no money for a product to gain or maintain share. eg: IE
It's obvious, you fool! Modern cdrom drives spin the cd platter at extremely high rates, generating small but significant gyroscopic and processional effects. If all laptop users were to acces their cdrom simutaneously _and_ the plane was executing a banked turn, the plane could be tossed into an uncontrolled death spiral, crashing in a massive fireball into the nearest elementary school.
Lose the 'one-big-volume' syndrome. Create a/home partition, leave it untouched (except maybe for the.dot files) during a rescue. The user's data is untouched. Better yet, in this context, mount/usr ro, and (/tmp/home) noexec.
You don't save software money with Citrix/MS. The CALs and MS s/w costs are ~equal. You may eventually save money on client hardware costs, but your initial server outlay can be fairly tough.
The admin work is easier than having all those desktops but my head spins at the crap our Citrix admins must wade through.
Your accuracy example exhibits both accuracy and precision. Accuracy is the proximity of the dart cluster center to the bullseye. Precision controls how closely they cluster.
Your 'smaller land mass' falls over when you compare Canada and the US re: high speed access.
We're a much larger coutry with a much smaller population, yet we have a much higher high-speed base.
Plus, what we get is cheaper! My $CDN cost for adsl is less than what I've seen on/. without exchange. My guesstimate is you're paying 2x my cost for inferior service.
A book written to guide the newbie through a prickley (powerful!!) editor and it's chock full of errors?? The whole point of purchasing on of these is to provide a leg up the learning curve.
Sorry, no sale.

Today, Starbucks(SBUX) announced a $10 million dollar research grant prgram to alleviate the effects of the 'caffeine protein', DARPP-32, on the population.
"We believe our customers are impeded from the full experience of our product by this deleterious, evil protein." an unamed spokesman said.
"Our customers are asking for this." he continued, "It's the least we can do. That and make sure we have another super-grande-lofat-mocha-latte-ice" ready and waiting for them."
My personal observation is I tend to measure obsessively (chemistry geek). My baking always turns out great; my other cooking tends toward blah.
Not suprising, no sign of them

I was in my favorite magazine store (Hub Cigar, Edmonton AB -- it rocks) purchasing the latest Linuz Magazine and thought 'hey, I wonder of PC Mag is still publishing'. There wasn't a ZD rag on the racks.
It's _fantastic_. Boots from cd to a fully live system. The supplied X setting work well. I've saved a few users data when NT decides it doesn't want to work.
Oddly enough, magazines have a mechanism to do this. Page numbers tend to be sporadic and oddly placed in ad-heavy magazines. You note an interesting article on page 37, estimate that page 37 should be about >here, and then flip back and forth, _viewing_ads_ until you find the article title or page 37.
These guys are trying to apply old thinking to new media. They deserve their fate.

In ~six weeks, after Ballmer leaves, I hope to see another story telling how Telstra plans to continue with its Linux plans.
A price break from MS is nothing more than the pusher handing out a freebie. They'll get more than it's worth later by keeping them hooked now.

How about one named after a dead guy: Elvis!!

My greatest recipie irritant is I am _not_ cooking for a small army. Generally how does one scale down a recipie without losing it's fundamentals.
Or, how does one cook for one?
A corollary:
Why are some people better bakers than cooks?

Apparently in the Perl FAQ: "Perl 4 is a dead, flea-bitten carcass". It's old, ancient.
Please make the same comment about 5.8.0.

Why post a mod complaint? If the moderator posts in an attempt to explain himself, the mod magically disappears.

AIX on a laptop?
That would be _so_ cool!
Another Canadian on-line vendor with reasonable prices is deasldirect.
The UL mission appears to be to take on the RedHat behemoth.
What is the UL position regarding the smaller, specialized distributions? Neutral, co-operative, or hostile?
More like you'll get a string of expletives from some road-raged ass who considers you his greatest impediment.
Thank you?? Hell, not even Canadians would do that.
Oddly enough, your typo adds humour to the paraphrased quote.

True, but cracking the electron shell is a bitch.

Crap. Never mind. I re-read the artice. WinME did see the modem.
