You have yet to try NetworkManager, i'm guessing.

It makes configuring wireless access cards real simple, and its constantly improving.

Re:portable driver specification

On: Major PC Vendors Push For Open Source Drivers

You're thinking ahead of yourself.

Non developers wouldn't care, they'd get their RPMs/Debs/MSI/DMG and let their OS do their magic.

Developers would and could read the source and do said RPMs/Debs/etc do their magic.

OSS Drivers save the Devs the hassle of reverse engineering.

There's a virus of sorts on the embedded yahoo link. Don't click.

Any word if said virus works on Linux? (I'd rather not test it myself ;) )

Re:Verizon

On: Major ISPs Injecting Ads, Vulnerabilities Into Web

No way to complain? How about leaving Verizon?

I don't know how it works there (there being USA, and Verizon, specifically), but once I wanted to leave my old Internet Cable Company, they asked me to fill in a list of reasons for leaving.

I'm sure that if enough people leave for the same reason, someone will wake up and notice. And if they don't? Well, its lost revenue.

Money is the only language companies understand.

Re:like it, but

On: Fedora 9 Preview Cleared for Launch

Yup, but would the aforementioned person new to linux and uninformed of such things know about this? I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that a person "new to linux and uninformed of such things" would install linux.

If indeed said person were to install linux, he'd follow a guide. There are plenty guides available that list as part of the installation instructions, instructions on how to get mp3, xvid, dvd, realplayer, java and flash running on your system, be it Fedora, Ubuntu or Mandriva.

More often than not, its a "Linux-Hippie" the guy that ends up installing Linux. Said "Hippies" usually know their way around the distro they install, and tend to install everything the end user will ever need.

If you're the CEO of a big-ass Insurance Company, Bank, Airline or Widget Manufacturer and you just invested a bajillion hours of developer time into modifying (Free?) Open Source Software, it would be greatly appreciated if you contributed back to said projects.
