It's relevant because the thread started by the AC was about viruses, rootkits and Linux not having them opposed to windows.
You then went on to describe the irrelevant Debian security holes (which have been fixed), at which point I counter argued that windows has the same flaws.
If you can't follow the thread then what are you doing here?
There's a fix on the thread you gave. I don't understand why you even posted the this because you must have already known there was a fix.. wtf is that about?
Because nobody ever broke into a Windows XP machine over the net. Especially not because Microsoft left security holes big enough to drive a truck through open for years.
you overstate the Windows partition step while over-simplifying the Ubuntu partition step.
How so? What I said is exactly that. On an unformatted disk you get three options, 1- use the whole disk, 2- custom partiton, and.. wait. there's only two.
I can't figure out what I mean by me over simplifying it because that's what it is, simple.
Since you didn't include an example of what you mean (no need to backup your claims, right) i'll just have to assume you don't know what you're talking about.
Second, I love how you include Microsoft Office in the Windows steps just to pad the list
I did that because Ubuntu comes with Office software already on the disk.
You do realise that people use office software don't you?
as if most Windows PCs and their factory reinstall discs don't already include some form of Office
This is nonsense, how can you do a fair comparrison of installing the operating system on a custom pc and come up with "the vendor disk".
It's totally irrelevant anyway because it's still not a click install even with the vendor disk. Which was my whole point in the first place.
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.
Yes because it would be irresponsible not to download updates for Windows. It's so important that your box can get owned in less then 4 minutes.
Unless there is a rootkit in an ubuntu or debian package you're not making a lot of sense.
Even if there were you got the name and email address of the people who made the package and also the people who were responsible for checking the package.
You can even take that package and compare it to the original upstream version using diff.
You are just talking bullshit. Hence why you're probably posting anonymous, because you know you're talking nonsense.
1) Pop in disk 2) First you have to setup a partition to install windows.. lets assume it's an empty disk so you'd press c (create partition) and number the number of disk space for that partition then enter, then you press enter again to install on that partition. 3) Windows installs some files then reboots into a install setup. On this page you setup your computers name, organisation, location and language setup, keyboard setup, etc. 4) Windows installs more files 5) You get to the desktop at which point you have to put in your Microsoft Office disk 6) Follow the installer to get Microsoft office installed 7) Run windows update to install important security updates for Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows xp
To say that is a one click install is horribly misleading.
Ubuntu on the other hand contains much less steps
1) Pop in disk 2) Wait for desktop to appear and click on the install icon and choose your keyboard, location, username and password 3) If it's an empty disk it'll ask if you want to use the whole disk. No ugly dos based program. 4) Wait for installer to finish then restart taking out the disk.
A dune MMO would be awesome. The story is practically built for an MMO. Multiple houses to choose from, a common currency (spice) and according to imdb there's even a new movie coming out in 2010. If someone started now they might get it out while the movie comes out in the cinema.
You where modded down because you're a fucking idiot. You claim that the Google founders do nothing and waste their money on what they want, yet they've done more good for this earth then your carcass has done in a lifetime. Anyway, why can't they spend their money. You're simply jealous that they have millions and you have nothing but your lame posts on slashdot.
I tried getting into vendetta but I just found it difficult.
Maybe because I don't like flight sims enough, or perhaps there was too much reading to do when I first entered the game with tutorial and all I wanted to do was start flying, at which point I didn't really know what to do because I skipped the boring tutorial.
Anyway this is just a heads up to tell you why I didn't stay with the game after 15 minutes of bored flying not knowing what to do.
It depends how you measure the first video game. I count tenis for two as the first computer game because that's what it is. Just because space war was played by more people doesn't change anything.
If a victim took this then it could be taking away the only evidence against someone. Even if they know who has done it, why would you want to forget that just to have the same guy or go to the same place and get raped again?!

The only reason Symbian wants patents so badly is because they're dying. Google Android is going to crush them because it's a free OS where Symbian once relied to copyright for their Phone OS monopoly.
Expect to see them sue Google in the future with this fucking stupid patent.

The point of my posts were to highlight that the parent was wrong, windows isn't a one click install.
That being said you're right with the difficulty, the only way you'd know is the mount them and check what data is on them.
Either that or take one of the disks you're not installing out and do it that way.

You never just "click install" on windows xp..
1) Pop in disk
2) First you have to setup a partition to install windows.. lets assume it's an empty disk so you'd press c (create partition) and number the number of disk space for that partition then enter, then you press enter again to install on that partition.
3) Windows installs some files then reboots into a install setup. On this page you setup your computers name, organisation, location and language setup, keyboard setup, etc.

Brown is Ubuntu's branding. Your artsy fartsy self might not like it but there are many others that do.

How many fucking tanks did Kenya just buy? How munch money did the Zimbabwe president spend on that shipment of RPGs, Rifles and Grenades from china?
How many starving children in Africa could have been fed instead of you be connected to the internet? Exactly, now shut the fuck up!
I don't know what kind of shitty phone you use but my Motorola A1200 Linux smart phone never needs rebooting.
I guess I am the only one that didn't like sins of the solar empire, so I expect to be modded to oblivion, but I just couldn't get into it.
Quite simply there was no story so I didn't really have much of an interest in playing.
I tried getting into vendetta but I just found it difficult.

Stop making a gnewsense of yourself!!
That's because we're talking about the first computer game and you're confusing the issue.
The first computer game is a game that is computed. Hence tennis for two is the first computer game, or video game if you want to use American slang.
Spacewar came after not before.
It depends how you measure the first video game. I count tenis for two as the first computer game because that's what it is. Just because space war was played by more people doesn't change anything.
Soon it'll be mandatory use in cinemas, wouldn't want you making an unauthorised copy of that movie in your brain now would we?
I don't even see a use for this for rape victims.
If a victim took this then it could be taking away the only evidence against someone. Even if they know who has done it, why would you want to forget that just to have the same guy or go to the same place and get raped again?!
Note to artists.. world != you..
fucking self centred assholes..

Leave the troll tagging to the "frosty piss" posts please.
You're right, OOo should release two versions, one for old computers and one for newer computers.
