A prof of mine at Purdue said the following:
I don't know what the operating system of the future will look
like...but I *DO* know that it's name will be Unix.
As Linux is a Unix derivative, I would say that he's accurate.

A desktop perhaps; but try buying a laptop (specifically, a Sony Vaio
or something just as thin). Heck It's hard to buy a laptop that
doesn't come with some verion of MS Office on it, let alone Windows.

Actually, they did (that's how they tracked some virus to NNTP

Good god, that's not the point.
If you have the source code, and inspect it for back doors....you compile
it AND USE the executables produced from the source code WHICH YOUR OWN
PEOPLE HAVE VERIFIED.
Only an idiot would trust a CD full of executables handed to them by
a Microsoft rep in conjunction with another CD full of source code.
In fact...I don't trust a damn thing produced by Microsoft.

Apparently, according to the M$-droids...you aren't talented enough to
use their "idiot-proof" system.
Alternatively, M$ is lying.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Of course, if it's idiot-proof, then why do they say that you need
to be an MCSE to set it up...but wait, even the computer-illiterate
newbie can set it up.....no wait...there's a Magic Nosegoblin in
Redmond that reads your mind and configures your machine for you...
or something.

I think so, because when (user == I), (user is an instance of
"hacker"). Remember, "user friendly" is not well-defined without
defining who the "user" is. So, when most or typical users are
"idiot", that means "idiot-friendly", which is more or less the same
thing as "idiot-proof".
Chad> I disagree. I think user friendly is providing interfaces
Chad> that do what the user expects.
But those so called "user-friendly" programs just provide interfaces
to do what the **programmer* (or designer) expects. So, you're
limited by the programmer's imaginations.
Moreover, since I'm a hacker, I want to be able to arbitrarily bind
any keystroke to any operations. That what I *expect*. So, I find
Emacs and fvwm user-friendly, because I can edit config files to
rebind any key-binding that I prefer to the default ones. Programs as
extensible as Emacs is only limited by my imaginations.

I don't agree with him. I hate UI programming because it is
laborious. No creativity. It's not difficult to write a small
program UI that works, but it is hard to write a large-scale one that
works (i.e. relatively bug free) and maintainable. That's a quality
issue. I hate laborious tasks that create low quality products. The
time spent on the UI programmer would better go to improving the
performance and functionalities of the real program. Eventually, the
laborious and boring task would go to cheap labours in developing
countries.
