"If they can get a similar process in place for humans it'll cut the legs out from under the luddites opposing stem cell research"
We are talking about embryonic stem cell research,and it wouldn't change my viewpoint to have a cure for myself or a loved one dangled in front of me. Some of those "luddites" are not expressing an irrational fear of technology, but a set of deep-seated values.
My thoughts exactly. The entertainment industry is unable to come up with anything worthwhile for me, So why sould I care about the latest ways they will deliver it to me or control what they deliver?
They've been doing this for at least a year. At my previous job (a school), we were put on VZ's blacklist apparently at the request of the recipient of one of our mailing lists. After a week of calling as the network admin of the domain in question (and getting nowhere), I called as a home DSL customer and told them I was missing important information thanks to their policy. They took the domain off of the blacklist immediately.
This is the problem with all of Novell's products. It is unclear what many of them do and how we are supposed to integrate them with other Novell or non-Novell offerings. Many offer overlapping functionality (I am used to reading things like, "you could use Console One. But we prefer you to use iManager. But for these 3 three things you can't use iManager, you need to use ConsoleOne. And for this one thing, use REMOTE Manager, not iManager.)
I am open to alternatives to the Windows Server with Active Directory environment. But when you can't even get a book about something like Zenworks for Desktops directly from Novell that explains it concisely, who do you think I will turn to?
If anything I am a Fedora aficionado. I've used Debian back in the day (1998) and Redhat as well with a little SuSE thrown in for good flavor over the years. Why should I look at a book speificially targeting Slackware when I am not an aficionado? Just curious...
Imagine how much cooler your personal distro history would sound if you added "then in 2005 I started using exclusively using Slackware, because doing so allowed me to lengthen my personal distro history."

From my help desk tickets:
1. "Yesterday my mouse wheel made the contents of my email window scroll by. Today it doesn't."
Answer: User had less than on window's worth of email, hence nowhere to scroll. It took a surprisingly long time to get the user to comprehend this.
2. "User's correct password doesn't work. In order to get in, he has to use an incorrect password."
Answer: hmmm...

Plan 9 offers everything you would expect from a modern desktop OS. So there is no need for Suse Linux.
Plan 9 offers a completely usable, modern desktop. So there is no need for Linspire.
