Well I entered in "Go to my office and look at the post-it on my terminal" and it said that will take "4.97 hundred billion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion centuries"

Many of the arguments here points to the fact having a lot of choice is good. Seems proprietary OSs these days are fast are accelerating towards 'walled gardens'. For instance, I am still using a GUI interface I have been using for well over 15 years, but now on a 64 bit Linux. There are some worry some trends in Linux regarding to GUI interfaces, but for now and for quite a number of years, I will still be able to use that ancient interface on modern Linux systems. So, no matter what the distro you use, it is not too difficult to change to a different Window Manager or Desktop if you really want to.

same here, I would have chosen funny, thought it was hilarious

years ago I ran across this, I thought it was quite good and I am sure it is somewhat forgotten http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nitrogen_Fix

Do you know anyone who worked prior to 1910 ? When I was young I did, maybe you would enjoy your 16 hour days, 6 days a week, no paid time off, work to you die, no paid sick time, loose your job, you starve environment. Seems with your "fire / hire" statement that is were you want to go to. Me I would prefer other solutions then 'fire and hire at a lower rate'. That would end up becoming a never ending cycle until we are back to 1900.

That is my concern, I do not come close to 250g a month, but seems people will start paying to see ads in the near future. Also, once limits are imposed, they seem to slowly shrink over the years. Easy enough to block some ads but may end up in a arms race similar to email and spam :( I would want a refund for any ads eating bandwidth and I will call the ISP if I ever start approaching the limit

I agree, I have been thinking the same thought for quite a while. Did not know about the migration, but I believe most of the population in Siberia are closer culturally to China/Mongolia that Russia. I almost think that area has a greater potential of nuclear war than any other place in the world. Esp as resources get hard to come by and with its Arctic Sea border, oil comes into play.

Slackware for one:

2nd release for v13
congratulations to slackware and fedora for both v13 releases

probably because that is the default for openssh, at least for version 5.1p1,
of course that is no excuse :)
one should change the defaults to suit their needs

see sshd_config:

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a
# default value.

#PermitRootLogin yes

I think another part of his thinking is M/S Office, which I believe where most of their profit comes from. when someone buys a mac my guess is they pick up M/S office, which means $ for M/S. Not and option for the other OS's. Obviously M/S is to blame for that, but right now that is the reality of their situation.
