Presidents, and Senators, are elected by the States, not directly by
the people.
That is by design.
If this were not so, a few large and generally left-leaning States
would dominate national politics even more completely than they do
now, plundering all the rest as completely as possible, and attempting
to disarm them. This would lead almost immediately to civil war.

That's a very extreme point of view. You wouldn't be European would you by
chance ? :)
Anyway, many LAN shops/Cafes only have Windows... doesn't mean you like to
use it though.
For example, I use Windows 98 to read email when I go on vacation, but I
would never use it myself.

HTML is great at formatting as well... so that you can align text and group
points together.
Also, embedded links, tables are cool too.
HTML ain't just for fonts (actually, that would be CSS)

LOL!!!!!!
MS SQL Server, at least as of 7.0, is a toy compared to ANY other
server database product available. (Haven't tried 2000 yet.)
It runs on only a single platform, which is a toy compared to ANY
server platform available.
Of course, many folks are finding that the numerous free alternatives
(MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, SAP-DB) are eating away the market
share of *all* the proprietary vendors, not just MS.
So if I were Larry Ellison, I'd be concerned, but not by Mafia$oft.

I see you joined late, so my position, by reading only the above,
could be misunderstood.
I personally believe any killing not in self defense, including
killing at war, should be considered murder. I was only taking

What's wrong with that ? I had a VMS workstation on my desktop from '88
- '91 (it even did all of the NETNEWS distribution for most of that
time).
The problem with VMS is not that it's VMS - it's that you spoil your
eyes on the microfiche trying to read the source.
Why do you think the GPL requires the source to be "the preferred way to
compile" your application ?

Indeed. That's a good point. There has been one bug in Windows 2000's NTFS
since its release almost 18 months ago. In the first few months of 2.4.0
there have already been 5 bugs relating to Reiserfs.
As for NT4, I didn't use NTFS under NT4 until after SP6 precisely because I
wasn't comfortable with the stability.

The navy uses different terminology than the rest of the industry. To them,
the "LAN" is their networked application, not the OS or hardware it's
running upon. When the database contained invalid data, the applications
running on the remotes all crashed as well, thus causing a Local Area
Network failure.

Ping of death was a specific type of exploit that needed special, invalidly
formed packets to work. There was no way to cause normal applications to
generate POD packets.
Unix also suffered from this bug.

That's games, a consumer market. Yes, Linux is weak there. OTOH, I do
prefer to stick to the same word processor and development tools as much
as possible. So yes, I do enjoy using the same apps for Infinity if you

Cadence and Hudini have Linux versions. In the electronic CAD area,
Synopsis also supports Linux.
The argument that you can't run AppFoo on Linux _is_ FUD if there are
equivalents.

Zenon Chomyszyn, technology manager at the Halifax, told Computing that the
company's Unix systems are too expensive to maintain, and that he hopes to
reduce these costs by installing W2DC, despite a high initial outlay.
"The benefits will be the management of the systems and boxes rather than a
saving in purchase price," he said.
Chomyszyn added that the operating system will increase the availability,
reliability and scalability of the bank's databases, and will reduce
operational costs by managing a single server rather than thousands.

That "high ground" you mention is most often one of religious origin, and
