I believe ALL networking technologies "allow for differing types of transmissions".
Phone, video, and internet currently go across many other types of networking -
dialup lines, DSL, ISDN, frame-relay, T1, etc...

So wrong. Try the nVidia or 3dfx drivers on linux and compare to 98 or
2000.

Most are college students. Great is relative. My hat is off to the
Trolltech crew and the KDE folks. Gnome isn't too bad too. Just don't
think they are up to Windows desktop standards 'cause they are not. They
still have to deal with X.

No problem. I hope I did set you straight. Where'd you get these lies?
College? Or a Liunx advocacy forum? I can help you see the light -- I
offer to educate you on Windows technology. Would you like that?

Of course it's "free", the intent is to lock you into MS proprietary web

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
