If Kumar was white? Jeez, the boss of Enron was non-white? The boss of Tyco was non-white? Martha Stewart is non-white? Comeon, you should be able to rouse a better argument than the race card.
Of course a vote can easily be done on a programmable Point of Sale machine of the type used in restaurants. The problem though is that then you cannot sell it for $100,000 each...
All electronics emit radio frequency signals. Take an old radio, switch it to 'shortwave', then place it next to some piece of electronics and have fun.
In the US, the common code name for shielding computer equipment is known as TEMPEST. Some Googling will find you lots of information on the problem.
This doesn't provide protection while the system is running. It is transparent. It only provides protection when the machine is powered off or when the drive is unmounted.
To Canadians and Russians global warming is obviously beneficial, eventually we'll be able to farm the tundra. Way down south is a huuuuuuge empty continent called Antarctica. It will be able to sustain hundreds of millions of people.
There is more than one way to do it: One of the beneficial effects of sulpherous air pollution is a cooling effect. So, to decrease the global temperature, we can just remove the filters from the coal fired power stations and burn more coal. Stimulating a few volcanoes would help too...
The problem is not the desktop per se. The problem is the infrastructure: Authentication, LDAP, Email, Web Applications, Database Applications, Point of Sale Systems...
The desktop itself is minor issue compared to all that.
Doesn't matter, since the differences are superficial. The better you know Linux, the more you'll realize that there is almost no difference between distributions.
Large cities and governments use hundreds or even thousands of Linux servers. The thing that is holding Linux desktops back is domain authentication and single sign-on processes. Making Windows and Linux desktops co-exist using a central LDAP server is not difficult, but there is precious little information on the web on how exactly to do that. Here is the only sensible guide that I have found so far that explains it: http://aeronetworks.ca/LinuxActiveDirectory.html
This probably has more to do with the hurricanes and winter storms. During Katrina, the Feds were criticised for *not* bringing in the defence force to render aid.
Of course, if you connect your Windows machine behind a simple, out of the box Linux based firewall router then it will be safe. That is the whole difference between Linux and Windows. I will trust Windows security once Cisco/Netgear/Dlink starts to ship simple out of the box Windows based firewall routers.
Yup, obviously there will be registration centres for illegal immigrants along the Mexican border as well. I'm sure the whole national ID system will work just as well as the Canadian long gun registry.
If anyone proclaims that secret source code provides a measure of security, just run a Spybot S&D scan on his computer, then ask him whether he really thinks that MS has provided the Windows source code to all these scallywags...

Well, lots of important people with too much money have been beheaded in Europe in years gone by. It can happen again. Never say never...

A virus millions of years old!? So the cave men must have had Windows computers - neat.

The do. WGA check is required to download Media Player.

Exactly. Oil and coal will become obsolete once we can turn sea water into energy and it will eventually happen - probably within the next 100 years.

Use the Flashblock plugin and then don't bother to install the flash plugin - works for me!

Old hat:

of course, on Linux there has always been sox, which is even older hat:

"Have to re-install"
That sounds like Windows Vista is based on Windows ME.

That is exactly what my teenage son and his friends do. They swap DVDs full of MP3s and Oggs.

It is possible to make a Windows machine secure enough for military users, but then it isn't quite so easy to use anymore.
Why not kill Windows?
Because 'ps -e | grep win.exe' and 'kill -9 $PID' don't work on Windows...

Hmm, dunno, but I'm pretty sure you'll find it here: http://astalavista.box.sk/
Uhh, no, I'm glad I did not migrate to Linux sooner. Back in 1996, it was friggen almost unusable - sooner - no... ;)
