WHOAH there pard! Maximum Linux isn't published by Ziff-Davis. They
are published by a company that has many Windows/Gamers/Mac/PC oriented
publications and quite a few of them are actually good at what they do.
I will agree though that Maximum Linux up to this point has been a joke
and a waste of money. And it is staffed by a bunch of lame gamers
(although more likely just Windows users that like games) that don't
have any knowledge of Linux. They print a 'help' column run by someone
that hasn't had 6 months experience with Linux (and I'm sorry, but you
need more than that to consider yourself an expert). They print garbage
in the help columns and expect people to be happy about it. They have
yet to prove any technical knowledge of the subject they are proclaiming
to be masters of.
I've been into Linux for nearly 5 years now and I still have trouble
saying I am an 'expert' at it. But I do know enough to keep web sites,
a business network, and a few home businesses running on Linux. My
point is that these people jump up and down screaming how much they know
about Linux, yet none of them even knew what Linux was before joining a
Linux magazine's staff. The magazine is less than a year old, and they
are all proclaiming to be Linux experts (and yet they still tell
everyone they are newbies in the actual columns, but the headlines say
experts often enough).
BTW, I read Linux Journal (and subscribe) and Linux magazine (when I can
get a copy at Barnes & Nobel) and definitely consider either of them
better than Maximum Linux. Although over the past few months Linux
Journal has shown more and more 'integrating Windows' type articles,
they are still primarily a Linux magazine. I hope they keep their focus.

No shit Sherlock!

And on just what authority other than your own prejudice do you base this
opinion, after all hotplug PCI is supported in Windows. Microsoft are known
to be doing things specifically for this Unisys box in terms of support for
partitioning, how can you be so sure that support for hot plug of other
components will not be implemented?
>They ARE possible under solaris/eeprom, AIX, etc.
Of course they are, the OS vendor built in the support for particular
hardware configurations, there is nothing magical about it and nothing that
prevents the same from being done for W2K on the Unisys platform.

Being on good terms with several hardware vendors I can sure that the
reports are about access to App Server betas are alleged and unfounded.
Perhaps you'd care to provide a reference to these alleged reports.

As long Microsoft's opposition is as shortsighted and blinkered as you
clearly are it has little to concern itself with. Of course the real
opposition to Microsoft is a lot smarter than you are, but then again, so is
a house a brick.

This from someone who has not provided a shred of evidence that
such claims can be taken seriously. I did a bit of research on the
German-reunification question recently, and here's this link:
http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/96winter/boll.htm
It discusses very clearly the diplomatic maneuvering between the patrons
of each half of the formerly-split Germany -- and it is clear that the
Soviet Union had *lost* East Germany to the US, NATO, and West Germany.
It nowhere takes seriously the notion that the Soviet Union's leaders had
been trying to fake a retreat from East Germany. So I think it far to say
that the rest of Mr. Kulkis's conspiracy theories have the same quality.

You are using the same static economic model that the Democrats

the tax rates would increase tax revenue.
Turns out that Laffer was correct.
A similar paradox applies here.

ROTFL. Lech Walesa had already been well-known by then.
Also, are those predictions on record anywhere -- and on record
