My work machine has four (yes) monitors, two on a Radeon 7000 series and two on the Intel IGP. Win7 works mostly[1] flawlessly, but Mint will only see the two Intel-powered monitors by default. I'm given to understand that I can get all four going, but it'd involve writing a custon xorg.conf and I can't be bothered since I'm usually in Win7 because that's what I have to support.
[1] fairly often the Intel driver will crash and be automatically restarted on resume from sleep.
It could fall back to checking its internal map and saying "yup, map says this is a highway and there's no scheduled construction, so there's no way that says 5mph. I'll go with what the map says".
That may depend on where you live. Here the minimum speed on a highway is 45 MPH and max varies from 55 to 70. As long as you stay between those values you don't get ticketed for speed.
I suspect what happened with the airliner is this:
Newbie junior pilot does't notice that he's getting bogus readings from instruments after he's disengaged autopilot when it goes crazy. Tries to fly by the seat of his pants and doesn't realize that he's still descending because he's stalled without enough airspeed. Panic. Everyone dies before a more experienced pilot can take over and point the nose down to gain speed.
I tried Mandrake in '01 or '02 (whatever the newest version was then). Was immediately turned off because after installation I ran the package manager and it promptly crashed, trashing the installation.
Never had that problem with apt-get and dpkg. Debian wasn't as pretty or easy, mind.
it was an old hack of the Linux version of Doom, with a barebones 2.0.32-based Linux distro, set up to make relative nice-sounding sound effects through the PC Speaker, bundled up as a.zip that you extracted over a FAT filesystem and from DOS ran a loader that switched to Linux. It's here: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=9704
After that I went to Debian and then to Ubuntu[1], and at the moment I'm using Ubuntu Server as a building-block distro. Considering a switch to Mint. I've used other distros in VMs, and at one time my work PC had Slackware 10 until I needed a version of Samba that could talk to Active Directory.
[1] it was Ubuntu's general polish around 5.10 that made me switch, and especially the graphical sudo, which was far better than anything Microsoft had.
In a vacuum, yes, but not in the Bush White House. The culture there was of unquestioning loyalty up and down the chain, from Bush the Lesser himself all the way down to the meanest political appointee.
It's not advertising that's at issue here. It's peer pressure. It's the retarded email and post forwards that repeat whatever memes Fox News is pushing that day. It's the "LIKE AND SHARE IF YOU LOVE JESUS" pictures.

Paragraphs, motherfucker, do you speak it?!
But it's got these sexy rounded corners and the casing is aluminum billet.
Granted you can't ever replace the toner when it runs out, but this makes it a whole inch smaller and a couple pounds lighter!
That's an easter egg: a picture of Goatse will come up on the screen.

Did you come from single- or double-pane windows?
Libertarians are not in general intelligent.
STRAWMAN SIGHTED.
Nobody's apologizing, failfuck. Take it to FreeRepublic.
To say nothing of the local teabaggers who will see this as appeasing people who are different from them.

That's been fairly standard terrorist tactics for a while, actually.

Oh, so there's an Oz beer that's worse than Foster's?
Java 5 was even EOL'd well before Oracle bought Sun.
Yeah, why hasn't Adelaide ever done anything for their tap water?
He's self-taught and doesn't know any real computer nerds who can guide him, but is probably the most computer-savvy person in his family.
Probably knows enough to run Windows, his games, and a web browser.
Is sir unaware of what subnet masks and VLANs are for?
Were they shaped like DC-8s?
They /are/ using Bing for searches these days, so that's probably something to do with it.

What makes you think Gonzales was incompetent? His job was to give the Bush Admin legal cover to do what they wanted.
