Dell actually has that service. Buy one machine, configure it the way you want, then send them the disk drive and ask them to make you 500 machines, exactly like the last one, using the disk drive image - they don't care what is on the disk drive really - they'll just copy it, so make damn sure it works the way you want! In fact, they have on occasion done that for me with as few as 6 machines.
Everybody else does and it is managed by the friendly revenue service for the benefit of all Americans. There is no need to invent a new set of numbers...;)

Hmmm, after 1400 years - impact at 0.99999 C, due to a minor imperial to metric conversion error...
To my mind the most significant piece of info:
"The gure shows that fail-
ures do not increase when the average temperature in-
creases. In fact, there is a clear trend showing that lower
temperatures are associated with higher failure rates.
Only at very high temperatures is there a slight reversal
of this trend."
We don't, but since most of the earth is covered by the Pacific ocean, chances are better than 70% that it will hit there. If we are really lucky, it will hit Washington DC, but the odds are against us...
Uhm, if you are spending that much time on it, then you are doing something wrong. Well over 99% of email coming my way is spam, but it never enters the server - it simply gets rejected using RBLs, grey listing and other methods. The remaining little bit, is filtered very well by Spam Assassin and I only tune the server once a year around Christmas time.
Nobody 'mimics Windows'. Everybody mimics CDE, the Common Desktop Environment that preceded Windows, KDE and Gnome on UNIX workstations. You can still use CDE on Sun machines, but I prefer OpenSolaris with Gnome - CDE is rather old and clunky now by comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Desktop_Enviro nment
Good gawd man, 'Cuba a big enemy' of the US? I think you have lost your sense of scale. Cuba is a bankrupt little island in the middle of shark infested waters. The only threat it poses to the US is that of a handful of unwanted bedraggled immigrants washing up on US shores every year.
Nothing really, it was the implementation that sucked. The USSR had a great constitution, very similar to that of West Germany and Canada, but they did not practice what they preached. A big problem was that the USSR carried on running a war-time command economy for decades after the war was over. That was probably the main thing that ruined the place.
Cubans are much more free today, than they were under colonial rule. Now they have their own dictator - previously they had a foreign dictator. In general, countries have the government they deserve.
Uhhh, isn't there supposed to be a US trade embargo against Cuba? So how does Cuba obtain its MS software?
I think the FBI should ask Bill a few questions...
What bothers me is the lack of drivers and support for older hardware. The OS is supposed to support the hardware, not the other way around. Maybe Vista will be ready for desktop use in two or three years, but for now, I'll pass.
Most WiFi home routers don't allow configuration over WiFi by default - only over a wire. This may work with a small number of very old routers, of which the PCs behind them are probably already totally full of crapware, so any more won't make the slightest difference.
Vaccinations - so more of them can die worse later?
Most of Africa's problems are caused by uncontrolled medical spending, without providing anything else to in=mprove the conditions/housing/work/factories/farming/whatnot, leading to modern overpopulation in a medieval society.
I wonder when the Vista version of LitePC http://www.litepc.com/ will be available. Once one can successfully remove DRM and other cruft from Vista at the click of a button, it should become more popular.

He may get into trouble for traveling to Cuba. As for trade with Cuba, I guess he now needs to get in line right behind Bill Gates.
Wow, so MS caused East Germany to vanish? What were they using - Windows ME?

'All devices'??? Linux runs on a much wider variety of hardware than Windows. Go and try make Windoze run on an Apple Mac, ARM or a Sparc...

The worst thing is that it breaks a common spam check in email. Suddenly, all bogus addresses do resolve.
Nice... so their spam filter only works on outgoing mail - duh...
