I had the same networking issue (with andLinux, another coLinux "distro") and am not sure I will be able to fix it given the level of paranoia of my company's IT department.
I wonder if one way of fixing this issue would be to use DirectFB instead of Xming (an X server)...
How does Apple help me run my 68k or PowerPC apps from before OS X then? They only support stuff from before the last transition and no earlier.
(I agree that virtualisation would make a lot of sense for Microsoft, but Apple may not be the best example.)

Agreed. Is there a way to block this "idle" section? The "Configuring Slashdot's Homepage" page doesn't list it in the "Customize Stories on the Homepage" bit.
Applications (including the window manager) run on the server.
Two things. Firstly, in the X Window System language the X "server" (short for "display server") runs on client machines and the "client" is the app (but I understood what you meant). Secondly, it's really a matter of opinion - I've seen setups where thin clients run their window managers locally.
I had the same problem, and I was able to solve it in 2 steps.
1. Strip links from messages. The spammers are trying to game Google's (and other search engine's) page ranking, and they can't do this if you don't allow them to post links. The incentive to spam your site has now gone.
2. Insert some primitive captcha. In my case this was just a question asking the user to add 2 small numbers together. The reason this step was necessary was because despite implementing step 1, I was still getting a huge amount of automated spam from spam bots which didn't realise there was no point in spamming my site. Once a human spammer realises you've added captcha he'll come and have a look to see how easy it is to circumvent (very easy in my case). However after running a test personally he'll see there's no point and (hopefully) remove you from his list of sites to spam.
I do the same with the taskbar in Windows (at work). I had noticed that my Eclipse using colleagues tend to have a list of the files in their current project on the left hand side, but since I use a different editor I allow the Windows taskbar to perform this function instead.
Now if only I could figure out how to get the Gnome taskbar to list tasks properly when the panel is docked at the side of the screen, I would be able to use the same trick at home. Stupidly it always rotates the text on the task buttons by 90 degrees!
I'm not a Mac fan at all (I bought a MacBook right after the switch to Intel, and am now back on Linux on a beige PC), but think this machine is quite interesting. Why? Because this machine (like the Mac) appears to be a cleaned up, legacy free version of the PC (no BIOS etc). Not only that, but it doesn't come from Apple, a company famed for it's love of proprietary lock in.
I am quite interested in seeing how well Linux runs on these things...
so is disregarding someone because of their spiritual beliefs
There's your problem - a growing number of people are realising it's fine to disregard someone if they believe in supernatural nonsense. Especially if they're beliefs include doing nasty things to women, homosexuals and non-believers.
Visual Studio has to be the best piece of software to have ever come from Microsoft. IMHO it would be even better if they would support elastic tabstops, and I know I'm not the only one.
I never thought I'd be typing the phrase Tony Blair Squirrel.
In fact, I'm going to shorten it to TBS.
The TBS is a limited-edition computer bag from Crumpler for 13-inch to 15-inch laptops. It commemorates the recent retirement of Tony Blair as British prime minister.
Who on earth would want a bag that commemorates that creep? Aah, I see the newspaper's from Texas...
That should be "Mac OS X does it well enough". Please learn to speak English properly. See here:
Good and well are often misused. According to The Grammar Bible, "good is an adjective. It can only modify nouns and pronouns. Well is an adverb. It can only modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Too many people use good, the adjective, when they need well, the adverb. I scored good on my spelling test.(incorrect) The new car runs good. (incorrect) In each example, the adjective good modifies a verb, scored and runs, respectively. Only adverbs modify verbs. These situations call for the adverb well. I scored well on my spelling test.(correct) The new car runs well.(correct) A frequently used expression, 'to feel well,' in American parlance, implies that one's touching ability is in excellent condition" (141-142). Brian's Common Errors in English, see Writing Resources, provides further explanation: "'Good' is the adjective, 'well' is the adverb. You do something well, but you give someone something good. The exception is verbs of sensation in phrases such as 'the pie smells good,' or 'I feel good'[emphasis added]. Despite the arguments of nigglers, this is standard usage. Saying 'the pie smells well' would imply that the pastry in question had a nose. ' I feel well' is also generally acceptable; but it is not the only correct usage." I hope the exception above helps to explain the rule.
I'm saying that a system where you can vote for whatever party you like and your vote matters is better than the current system. It may have some disadvantages, but it's surely more democratic.
What you need to do is campaign for electoral reform so that votes cast for parties other than the Republicans and the Democrats are not wasted. Might I suggest Proportional Representation as used by many countries other than the US and the UK.

The most interesting question to me is which OS Dell will choose to install on it. Hopefully it will be a Linux distro...

coLinux is a version of the Linux kernel that can run as a task under Windows. andLinux is a distro which uses coLinux and runs on Windows.
What's wrong? Gordon Brown said he wanted to listen to the people...
Umm. Sweden was not occupied during the second world war. Please have a clue what you're talking about before insulting people like that.
These guys are just making it up as they go along aren't they?

The UK is part of the EU. The EU's privacy directive doesn't seem to apply :(
