Well, then that'll be a long way until they catch up with XP (:
Oh, c'mon. Hurd actually runs real programs on real hardware, from a real live cd, or with crosshurd from a real debian system. You can boot it, touch it, taste it, crash it and help developing it. Sure, $X still has no drivers, $Y is unstable and $Z won't even compile, but calling Hurd vaporware is an exaggeration.
You're a geek, sir. ~99.99% of society are not. "Very easy" is still black magic to them, and they employ the neighbor's kid to cast the spells. And the world that I see is that he often fails to cast them properly or without unwanted side-effects.

You know, I've actually made up this shit. Whoever even looked at about:config, saw that there is no such key. And even when you add it, it doesn't work.
The person who modded me informative... Has done something stupid. It only shows how stupid people are to not think for themselves... Tell them something that sounds remotely reasonable, something that they might agree with, and they'll believe, they'll follow.
Right. Into. A. Trap.

Interesting. On the contrary, I never know where I'm going to wake up after a party. Once I woke up in a hotel in another city.
So playing GTA should be considered car theft, murder, participating in organized crime... Wow, I'm kind of a serious criminal now.
You know what? I'd rather want 'em to outlaw games where you kill people than CG pr0n.

MAN, that's Forty Six & Two!

And there are 19 levels.

It's not funny anymore, how many times can you see people making the same joke again and again in a single thread?

LFS?... Meh, it's not teh hardcore. You get that silly guidebook and stuff, all you do is wget and untar and ./configure&&make a next set of sources.
:P)
Write your own OS! (I've tried
It's not Free (as in speech) & Open Source.
BTW, Plasma works on all platforms. I've also heard that since 4.1 it can display Mac OS X dashboard applets.
BTW2, what exactly is holding people back from porting eg. gdesklets or superkaramba to the other platforms?
It won't fool the antivirus mentioned in GGP's post, if there is such and is set up to report suspicious stuff to one's superiors...
Yeah, spyware everywhere... Is it paranoia yet.
> The fact (...) isn't my problem, it's theirs.
Sadly, many of those "someone else's" problems may become yours when you actually face those people and have to do business with them.
Or worse, someone spots you using an unapproved app and you get fired.
BTW, I think GGP got modded "troll" unfairly.

Don't you know? MS would like to encourage users to switch to alternative operating systems. Bill Gates himself said:

They're crafting a challenge for themselves (:
Your boss' brain? LOL. You should try finding out how does my ex-girlfriend's brain work.

I want your money.
Pay me.
Man, but "informative"? :P I bet that that mod didn't checked if what I've said was true. And I have intentionally introduced false information.

SysRq can do some special magic under Linux. It's useful for kernel devs (: so yes, it has a purpose.
Go to about:config and set browser.urlbar.oldstyle to true.
You must be one of these two guys that make up the whole Opera market share! Wow! :D
