Wine is making a lot of headway, but a neat helper program allows you to install things easily and with a pretty good GUI called http://www.playonlinux.com/en/
It uses scripts that has their own format to install Wine with a special setup that's taken care of by PlayOnLinux and the script. I think it's a great idea, and all that's needed is more scripts.
Why bother buying a computer motherboard, cpu and case? Maybe the case to store it in, but you could make a full fledged computer with just a graphics card they are so powerful.
Yeah, there's long term effects on their attitude, behavior and sex life when people are degraded, berated and basically made the person who looks at porn look and feel like some dirty monster. Correlation doesn't equal causation, and this is a prime example. The cause and effect could be backwards.
It doesn't activate on EVERY website. RTFA. It requires a meta tag. Google released this so that IE users can use Google Wave because IE doesn't support HTML5. It can also be used on other websites. I think it's a great move by Google, to smack Microsoft in the face to actually step up to standards.
How to get Fast Boot Times (OS Independent, but I've never done this with MacOSX)
Step One: If you bought a ready made computer with Windows and you want Windows, format and reinstall Windows clean with the Windows CD that came with it and defragment it, or install your choice of OS. Vendors install crap that will slow everything down, and you should just start clean. Remember to keep a backup of working drivers (if needed)!
Step Two: Disable all unneeded services. In Windows you do this from the Control Panel. In Linux use a Boot-Up manager, like bum, or edit the bootup scripts manually; readahead can also be helpful.
Step Three: Make sure you delete all unneeded applications if possible, and disable all startup applications not needed at startup. This goes along step two but it's more about desktop programs loading. Running msconfig for Windows and editing the startup applications, you can stop programs you don't want from loading.
Step Four: This is more preventative measures. Don't install crap you don't need. In Windows installing any program permanently slows down Windows (this is why I mentioned just formatting the Windows computer and reinstalling Windows). This has to do with the registry. In *nix this is not an issue if handled correctly. Usually if it isn't handled correctly your system becomes unusable either way.
Anyone remember that sig that says troll and flamebait are not replacements for disagree? It says it requires Windows XP. There is no word on any Linux or OSX version at all. Therefore chances are it won't work for them unless you really want to, i.e Crossover.

Yes.

I wonder why 64bit Windows never really catches on... Ballmer, follow your own advice. Developers, developers, developers, developers.
Um mods? This is a joke. It's a really bad malware that's almost impossible to remove.
Yes.

Make sure they use Gentoo too.

They already know.
If you also read my post history you'd find a lot of +5 funny comments.

Like this gem. This is my outlet and muse of wit, and sometimes I make myself look dumb for the sake of a joke.
Your last sentence of your post is irrelevant to the joke I was making either way, but it helped make it funny for different reasons.
I'll get my coat.
I mean have you ever heard of a used book store?
Yeah, it's called a library.
Did he use car analogies?

It doesn't hurt. It's still forward and backward compatible.
You can use a USB3 device on a USB1.1 hub and any other USBX combination.
Or you can just take out the hard drive and put the programs/OS to do it on the hard drive.
Decibels are logarithmic, base 10 (meaning for every 10+ it is 10x stronger).
115 for 15 minutes
125 for 1.5 minutes
135 for 9 seconds
145 for .9 seconds
150 for some small number I don't feel like calculating but you get the point.
You didn't even read the title? It said wedding. They are husband and wife, not girlfriend and boyfriend.
If he forks her kernel he might have a kernel panic and then a core dump.
It's a validation by contrapositive actually.
Not good software said by not good software company = Good.
VLC does. And it doesn't suck anymore.

External Keyboard.
Press the pause key. Take a guess what happens if it is pressed while the BIOS is loading.

Heck, I've downloaded cracks for games that I bought and I'm sure if I were to ask for a show of hands, it would be huge.
*Raises hand*
Needs slashdot poll. And a citation too, but a scientific poll would be nice too.

Somebody get this into people's heads, seriously.
