What Normal Users Can Expect From Ubuntu 8.10
notthatwillsmith writes "With Ubuntu 8.10 due to be released in just a few days, Maximum PC pored through all the enhancements, updates, and new features that are bundled into the release of Intrepid Ibex and separated out the new features that are most exciting for Linux desktop users. Things to be excited about? With new versions of GNOME and X.Org, there's quite a bit, ranging from the context-sensitive Deskbar search to an audio and video compatible SIP client to the new Network Manager (manage wired, Wi-Fi, VPN, and cellular broadband connections in one place)."
Now this is the story all about how,
My life got flipped, turned upside down,
And Iâ(TM)d like to take a minute, just sit right there,
Iâ(TM)ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.
In West Philadelphia, born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days.
Chillinâ(TM) out, maxinâ(TM), relaxin all cool,
And all shootinâ(TM) some b-ball outside of the school.
When a couple of guys who were up to no good,
Started makinâ(TM) trouble in my neighborhood.
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared,
And said Youâ(TM)re movinâ(TM) with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air.
I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like,
Hmm this might be alright!
But wait I hear the prissy, bushwa and all that
Is this the kind of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so. I'll see when I get there.
I hope they're prepared for the Prince of Bel-Air!
The plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude,looked like a cop,
standin there with my name out
I ain't tryin to get arrested yet I just got here
I sprang with the quickness and like lightening disappeared
Well, I whistled for a cab, and when it came near,
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror.
If anything I could say that this cat was rare,
But I thought Nah forget it, "Yo home to Bel Air."
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight,
and I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes, smell ya later."
Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there,
To fill my throne as the Prince of Bel Air.
Like linux doesn't have a bunch of rootkits out there. But even better, because of the attitude that linux doesn't require AV, you'll almost never realize you've been rooted until all your data is stolen and months later you realize you spent 20k dollars in Bulgaria...
You even throw in Windows Update, as if Ubuntu doesn't pop up a red triangle on the Gnome menu telling you there are updates to download.
But let's not forget that Windows has an annoying habit of installing updates without asking and without even telling you that it is installing (except if you happen to look at task manager and see that "System Idle Process" is at 95% usage)
LOL. I didn't even see that. ( Damn my fingers! ) Seems the communications uplink from my eyes to my brain and the communications downlink from my brain to my fingers are malfunctioning. ;) ( I swear my hands have a mind of their own... hmmmm..... that could be a multiple entendre)
;)
P.S. You missed s/4\.1\.x,/4\.1\.x \./

Shame it's just an image and not a screencap from a video where they all have massive liquid shits while in that position.
I'd pay good money for that.
