I wonder what had happened if terry gave the passwords away earlier. Management probably would have crashed the whole sf infrastructure, hospitals and others.
Indeed, according to wikipedia the USA has a population density of 31/km2, while Germany has 230/km2. It's no problem in the big cities, but there are few countries like France, which invest in their rural infrastructure.
Like the article said: "[broadband is] the major infrastructure challenge of our generation.".
I didn't miss Windows NT as I switched to Windows 2000. And then Windows XP was released and everybody hated it. Looking back I don't miss Windows 2000 at all. And I'm eager to get rid of XP as soon as possible. It doesn't work well with modern hardware. Its update infrastructure and directory layout is a mess. And the looks and performance of my linux workstations make XP look ancient.
The msi wind has a sata harddisk. Using dm-crypt will bring down your read performance from 35mb/s to 10mb/s. This is due the poor performance of the atom cpu. Via netbooks are considerably faster due to padlock.
Maybe you don't notice the performance drop, but believe me it does exist. Also, if you pass on full-disk encryption you risk partial exposure of data via temp directories, swap and hibernate files

This was in 2003, years before sun made java 'open'.
I submit:
In the above quoted statement, substitute KDE 4.x for Windows 7 and KDE 3.5 for Windows XP. It still makes sense.
Ironic to say the least.
He,
Windows always looked a lot like KDE.
XP doesn't show bluescreens by default. It reboots.
Go check somewhere under "System/Start Up and Recovery".
I've seen quite a lot of BSOD in the last years, mostly AV software, drivers, hardware problems and messed up installs.
Btw, got a bsod while trying to install my emu10k1 on win7...
I'm going without session management for about 6 month now and I really didn't notice. Gnome session 'management' has always been broken, at least for some years imho.
Isn't that how it goes? Some things break, more get better. Next ubuntu release is just around the corner anyways.
Do you remember pulse audio, upgrading to 64bit, how long it took for utf8 to actually work out of the box, or this one issue with redhat and kgcc?
There is no easy way, progress always creates problems.
