I think in this case, the phrase "The result isn't too bad" means the resulting video, not the "success rate" of retrieving the footage. Else it would, or at least should, say "This result isn't too bad".
"Everything needs a driver"
Yes indeed... not seeing your point here. As you quoted I said "I've yet to see a wireless card that didn't need a driver installing under Windows XP."
I've yet to see a wireless card that didn't need a driver installing under Windows XP. PCLinuxOS on the other hand Just Works... so how is Windows easier in this respect?
So, in fact, most wireless cards are not supported by Windows by default but they are under certain Linux distributions.
The only reason Windows is easier is that it's what people are used to.
Less than 1 minute to upload a 1 MB file on a dialup connection? I don't know what kind of dialup connection you were using, but at maximum theoretical speed (56Kbps) downloading a 1MB file would take approx 2.5 minutes. Upload speed for this type of connection is a theoretical maximum of 33.6Kbps.
My morals come from the way I was brought up, it's the responsibility of parents and the education system to teach right from wrong. Religion, at the end of the day, was a means to control the population before laws were used to do the same.
The biggest problem with religion though, is the people who misinterpret (intentionally or not) the meaning of religious texts and doctrines. The Christian bible supposedly teaches tolerance, so how are the crusades justified?
My children are free to choose their beliefs and I'm thankful that here in Britain religion is taught as a belief, not fact. It horrifies me that in some parts of the states it is now compulsory to teach "intelligent design" as fact.
There's plenty of distros that don't require editing text files, just take a look at PCLinuxOS for instance. The difference is, when the GUI configuration tool for something in Linux just doesn't seem to want to make the changes you're telling it to (and this does happen in Windows) you then have the option to directly edit the setting in a text file.
I agree that your average user won't be doing this, but they could if they did a little reading. If I hade a pound for every user who's come to me about an error message that tells them EXACTLY what the problem is...

His use of "more good" in this case is entirely legal English, perhaps you should book yourself in for a course too.
Couldn't care less, the phrase is couldn't care less, else it makes no sense.

Try PCLinuxOS for a KDE based distro with polish.

Some of us can managed to be moral without having to believe in punishment by a superior being.
