Beautiful!!! Flashback...1984... The Commodore 1541 Drive Overheats and melts a Plastic Army Man who was perched on the drive protecting the VicModem... Luckily the 1541 Lives to fight another day.. The same cannot be said for the plastic Army man.. 'snif..
"When I have some *guarantees* that they are running the business into the ground even though they have massive lead over their competitors, then I'll consider this to be a Commodore. And not before!"...Couldn't have been said any better!!!
the Sick part regarding Linux is that, while I hold these Certifications and such and can build machines etc... Installing Linux has been a Pain in the Arse for Years...Until Ubuntu (and now Debian)... I have 2 machines running either Ubuntu and Debian... Now the Ubuntu has a FTP server on it... which was setup by a Linux Buddy remotely..I couldn't do it (with the time I wanted to dedicate to it..) and the Debian is installed to see if I could get it running.. Which I did... The Package installer works great in Ubuntu and Debian... But what falls apart is when I try to Install anything not listed in the mananger.. I CANNOT DO IT.. It's probably me... and I am not saying it cannot be done.. It's just not worth the effort. I can afford to buy a Legit version of XP Pro or XP Media Center Ed.. and Download pretty much any program and install it in seconds.. Linux would have been great when I was 15 and had all summer or weekend in my room to play with the computer (like my old C-64 and the Programs you could type in from Computer Magazine... and then Save them to the Data-sete (tape)..Does that show my age;-) )..
I really like linux on Devices like the Nokia 770 Tablet..or cell phones, Wii's, Xbox,es etc... Where there is not supposed to be mods..and the users create them.. Thats Power...
" Except gaming junkies, of course, but I think that with the maturing PC userbase they've become less relevant. Or maybe I'm just getting old..."
--Heh..Gaming Junkies are one of the only reasons Computer Hardware get's updated... I can see Server hardware getting updated depending on the # of 0's an1's they push around..but the average, web surfing, word processing,emailing user doesn't need a cutting edge machine... Maybe Circa 2000... And it's a big reason why many don't completely Jump to Linux.. I mean it's hard enuf to get the Frame rates out of a PC which the games are designed for.. but to Emulate a Win Box on Linux to run Battlefield or something would be crazy shizzle.!!
--- And as for being old... Me too!! I am just trying to fight it!...;-)
Originally the System was "My name is Earl"..but NBC filed suit... Next was the "iThaad" but Apple had that... (And I think Cisco had that first...depending on what lawyer you talk to).. So now we are stuck with Thaad. They were going to paint it Brown and call it "Thune"... but the marketing folks at Lockheed thought a Brown "Thune" would be fiscal disaster even the pentagon wouldn't go for...
Wow..That's probably Overkill for this case... More than likely.. the Business suspect the guy is the perp and Either Takes his work machines and has analysis done on the Web Cache/History to see what this guy is looking at while using that PC OR Law Enfocement gets the bad guys computer, which said bad guys thinks will never be looked at, and with a Search Warrant the Computer is analyzed and Google search terms pop up and are introduced as evidence in trial.. Not really a big deal... and happens every day with Child Porn investigations...
