Wow, for someone so knowledgeable about computers you seem to forget what a simple failed network printer install could do to an entire Vista network... Vista allowed you to install XP printer drivers (by mistake) and that failed install would make it impossible to print at every station across the network. Vista didn't even check to see if the driver was a Vista driver or not and if it wasn't a Vista driver it was a critical fault...

Well, 10,000 years ago New York city was under a glacier. We just finished an ice age ten thousand years ago. Global warming even if man is causing it may not be a bad thing. Since the Pacific and Atlantic oceans were separated the earth has been cooling. Cooling is far worse than warming. There really does need to be a debate about this. We should try and control the climate. The issue is should we try and make it colder or would we try and make it warmer. I'm voting for warmer. We need to rejoin the worlds Oceans with a 100 mile wide mile deep trench over Panama.

The problem is, as I've been flamed for before, Linux is still nowhere near the point where a non-techie will consider adopting it. Although it's much better than it was even a few years ago, it's still not an idiot-friendly OS where things 'just work', compared to what people are used to.

I should scroll down and read all the responses because I'd bet money there are 20 comments just like the one I'm about to make.

While I was at work this last Christmas break my twelve-year-old daughter found my old 800 PIII with 512m of RAM and a ten gig hard drive in the basement. She took it and an old 15 inch CRT monitor up to her room. From the time I left for work (730) to the time I got home (1800) She had formated the HD, installed Ubuntu, got the old Linksys B USB wireless up and running and was surfing the net when I walked in the door...

My wife demanded I remove the computer because my daughter hadn't asked if she could have a computer with Internet in her room...

Anyone know of a good netnanny for Linux?

Oh and the woman suing, is obviously dumb or lazy.
