LiveJournal is a consumer, so is WordPress, with a plugin. My blog has that plugin, as do the blogs wordpress hosts. I have a somewhat optimistic vision of OpenID empowering, not the big guys, but the little ones. I can use my personally hosted OpenID account to log into my friends blogs to comment, for example.
Enterprise? Like the ability to act as a domain controller? Or the ability to act as a head to a SAN?
How about the fact Linux can handle 32PB partitions on said SAN, and can easily generate them using LVM? Mirroring disks with LVM? Can do. Snapshots? Also easy.
Just because you don't know how to provide enterprise-level services on Linux doesn't mean it's not possible.
Oh, and the server box I have running at home is providing SSI using LDAP and Kerberos, and is also providing file storage to my hosts - for hardware costs only. The only thing I really need to do is SSH in once a day, and run 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'. Usually results in no updates, but better safe than sorry:)
On the other hand, over here in Europe out cars get good MPG, so even though we pay more for petrol, we don't pay that much. There's very few 8-15 MPG petrol guzzlers over here.:)
Now try opening a cmd.exe prompt! (Goddamn, I use Debian, and I agree that bash is vastly superior to cmd.exe, but that wasn't even part of the point the OP was trying to make. You're just making Linux look bad.)
I don't know about that. On my laptop, suspend/power management is done through dbus to a daemon backend (I don't know what that is). Networking is done through dbus too, using the NetworkManager daemon and KNetworkManager.
My ThinkPad X24 laughs at you. Everything worked out of the box - on Debian, no less.
Suspend? Check. Hibernate? Check. Wired/Wireless network? Check. Video? Check, up and running at the maximum 1024X768@24 that the monitor and videocard supports. Turning it down to @16 got 3D acceleration working, and with the free driver too.
Even the infrared worked, though I haven't done anything but play a couple of times with it.
So I suppose it's just down to IBM doing things right, and not throwing the cheapest hardware they can get into the case.
I've been wanting to try doing something like this, to make a large, community intranet. Perhaps no need for an internet connection, but internal DNS, DHCP, web and possibly email.
I'm all for protecting personal privacy, but if investigators are using these tools to comb through your PC, you don't need to stop using windows - you need to stop committing crimes.
Because these drives won't get stolen and duplicated, so criminals can comb through your PC. Nosir.
Unless, of course, Windows decides to show the device the unencrypted data? It isn't as if Windows is trying to protect your data in this case - it's presumably actively trying to help the device get your data. So I wouldn't trust the Windows encryption.

Holy shit! You mean, when I use OpenID I'm being tracked by my provider?
Oh wait, my provider is... me. phpMyID motherfucker, DO YOU GET IT?
s/no drivers/no third-party drivers, apart from nVidia, ATi, and others/
You mean like where Windows hides the registry?

English petrol = US gas.
On the other hand, over here in Europe out cars get good MPG, so even though we pay more for petrol, we don't pay that much. There's very few 8-15 MPG petrol guzzlers over here. :)
On the other hand, for 200+ domains, that $2 becomes a $400+ price difference. Suddenly not so inconsequential.
I'm using a C7 Mini-ITX in my home server. It may be more popular than you think.
(The loudest bit in my rig is the 2U PSU - I really want to get a quieter one sometime.)
I see it most days, trying to get a housemates Vista box back on the wireless network.
Well done, you opened a bash prompt.
Now try opening a cmd.exe prompt!
(Goddamn, I use Debian, and I agree that bash is vastly superior to cmd.exe, but that wasn't even part of the point the OP was trying to make. You're just making Linux look bad.)
Only 100 now? The USA is slipping down that slippery slope.
It does that? Nifty, that'll make groupings of icons much easier.
I don't know about that. On my laptop, suspend/power management is done through dbus to a daemon backend (I don't know what that is). Networking is done through dbus too, using the NetworkManager daemon and KNetworkManager.
But I agree, more stuff like this would be nice.

Welcome to -1 karma hell. Meet your new friend Anonymous Coward.
Sorry, BadAnologyGuy sometimes flips and turns into a raving rightwinger. Just ignore him for now.

Nah, it's just standard Microsoft tools that make calls through the law_enforcement_bypass_security() API.
Unless, of course, Windows decides to show the device the unencrypted data? It isn't as if Windows is trying to protect your data in this case - it's presumably actively trying to help the device get your data. So I wouldn't trust the Windows encryption.
I wouldn't want my boxes spewing spam and malware even more, though. That's why I keep them clean.
Not even Microsoft does usability testing - look at Vista!
And there is a reason I call Ubuntu Ubloatu.
May you reap much good karma from that comment :) You deserve it.
