I use linux for just about everything besides gaming, but my experience with XP (both at home and on the 200 odd workstations at work is pretty much the same). I haven't used 2000 enough to know if that is the same. There are plenty of things to not like Windows for, but the BSOD isn't really one of them.
Indeed, and science is not like mathematics either. Newton and company were very wrong about this. With math 2+2!=5 (even for extremely large 2:P), but in science all you have is theories drawn from lots of anecdotal evidence. If the evidence contradics the theory, then the theory is obviously wrong (or the evidence is not what we think it is).
For this reason science and religion are not at odds because they server very difference purposes. Sure, they have some effect on each other, but I can believe that Darwin was a genius and still appreciate the significance of the Genesis creation story.
Oh come on - You obviously don't have enough vision here. In fact I think this should apply to UFS as well. Let's do away with the idea of folders, that's soooo old. Instead everything will have types. For example all the users files will be under the type 'home' then they'll also have a type for which user they belong too. Then the users can put more types on them as they please. System configuration files will all be of the type 'etc'. And system files, programs, and such will be under the type 'usr'. We'll have a 'tmp' type for temporary files and a 'var' for variable files. You might also want an 'opt' or 'pub' type. Also we can make types that start with a . special and normally hidden.
Then we can make our next generation file managers. You can have then 'browse by type'. For example by default it will show you what's under the type 'home' and $USER (whatever that is). Under there it will show you a list of types that are under the type you are viewing. If you click there you will browse under that type as well.

But if you can circumvent software, then the software obviouly is not required. In otherwords - I could argue that if I can break a "technological measure that effectively limits access" than it obviously isn't a "technological measure that effectively limits access" anymore an whooo, I'm free.
I think more importantly is that the gui is a selective process while the cli is a creative one. With a gui you given a couple of options to chose from, with the cli you given a $ and the rest is up to you. They are both good enviroments for different things. Very few people would try to do serious image editing from the command line, on the other hand there are a lot of things you can do from a command line far easier than a gui.
Having studied the UN and the way it works, as well as being part of a model UN club; I really don't think we want have the UN in control of the DNS. While their slow and careful nature may be a good thing, I don't think this kind of thing is appropriate for the UN:
The UN is inefficient. I really don't think that the DNS is that big of an issue. As long as the US isn't abusing things too much it is better for them to keep control of it than form some new council full of people that get payed way to much to sit around and eat peanuts.
Indeed. Not to mention that "smart client" is actually a Bad Thing. The web is egalitarian and ideally a web site or web application should be able to cater to all User Agents, whether they're smart or dumb. Things like asyncronus server requests through javascript should be the icing on the cake.
They are trying to use javascript way more than it should be. Program logic should be on the server side and when it is not you start having lots of problems with security holes as well as bugs because browsers have buggy javascript interpreters.
How do I open from a network location in gnome? Can it be done? (In the file browser?)
Same way as you would expect: protocol://username@domain.name/path/name (there's also a thing in the file menu, but I don't use that. I currently have an ftp and a ssh location bookmarked.
And by the way, I've never had to use the Gnome registry. Personally I don't like the idea of having a registry as opposed to plain files, but I see the advatages and doesn't bother me too much.
The main reason I use Gnome apps over KDE ones (I rarely use Gnome itself, I prefer e17) is for usablity. I find the interfaces a lot simpler and intuitive, it allows me to get my work done.
If you prefer KDE that's great. Remember, choice is a Good Thing.
IANAL, nor do I know much about british law, but in canadian law there is an idea that the weakness of the victim is the responbility of whoever caused the damages. It doesn't matter if they were running a farm of Linux sendmail servers or Joe Bloe's Free Mail Server on some Windoze box. It's petty obvious that it was intentional and malicious and I think the teenager should be culpable for his actions.
I don't think that "5 million emails? It was an accident, truely!" cuts it.
If I lived in saudi arabia and I blogged something against the Islamic faith it would probably mean my head. If I worked at a goverment job in my country (canada) and I said I believed that homosexuallity was wrong, I'd better have another job ready to switch to.
Actually he does have a bit of a point. Photoshop does (IMHO) have a lot of unnessicary compliation. The other day I just had a really confusing conversation from a guy who was telling me that he need images with more inches wide, what he really wanted was pictures with more pixels, but the 'Photoshop Way' is to use inches. He also tried to convince me that my screen displayed at 72 dpi, its actually closer to 140 dpi (~10 inches wide w/ 1400 pixels lenthwise). Photoshop really screws peoples minds up.
I assume the stats for msn.com have IE at about 99%. I mean who would intentionally go to that site if their browser did not automatically redirect them all the time.
I never got that though. Wouldn't larger text and the ability to copy-and-paste etc. increase the enforcibility of the contract. As it is there are so many ways to get EULAs thrown out of court.
Last election I worked as a deputy something-or-other at a ballot box in Canada and it's the same way. There was a lot of checks and such in place to make sure that nothing improper was done. I was surpised to see a couple of people in line trying to talk about their votting decisions (i.e. "Your voting for Ethel, right?"). As always, the users are the weakest link.
Same thing in firefox, just close the tab (ctrl-W), mabye you have to click through 1 more alert, and it'll be gone. Useful info for javascript developers like me who aren't always as careful as we should be.
Also, the article is just about a browser bug. It's not an exploit or a DoS. Someone is just really confused.
I propose using base 8 from now on. This would have many advatages, particularly with helping people work with hexadecimal and other computer related numbers. To facilitate this move I propose we cut off every person's index finger. That way people will get used to counting to 8.

The downside is that you might get promoted to management.
Years ago A really wise guy said something like: "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but loose his soul".

Not to mention that the write only language known as perl has been around from some time.

Shut up, I don't want to lose my job cause some guy realises he can get the same for free.
There are more servers out there, and IIS is growing faster than Apache?
This isn't limited to christianity at all.

They said: "Imagine putting rabbits down in Australia!" (when they arrived they reproduced, like rabbits, and became a small catastrophy)
Be carefull what you wish for.

I agree. I think that things like this are good. However, this does not mean that Microsoft is not guilty of owning a monopoly and killing compettion.
