because Fr1st world thinks Third world people are chimps. You have so low expectations about third world that You can't even wonder that it's a common practice here to pirate the corporate editions of Win XP (Vista is a joke here), no activation shit, no crippled shit. The concept of FREE SOFTWARE (free as in fruit-hanging-in-the-tree (cause were chimps)) it's well understood here, sadly Linux have not made it to the spotlight but AFAIK more third world countries have changed to FOSS for their administrative systems. Still it's hard to see a pirated copy of locally made software and that not because of law enforcement but because we have some sense of helping-the-ones-in-my-tree than to give a shitload of money to the most bigger corporation on earth for a product that IS NOT WORTH IT. Does it make sense now?/rantcarsm
Hey just put any liveCD, sudo a file manager and KILL IT BY HAND. Look in places like recycler, system restore etc. Next time you boot (safe mode?) back in windows just run spybot in high priority (before desktop loads you can call task manager and "run" the spybot). Thats why they invented LiveCD's right? Or Am I doing it wrong? Also, Don't You use you Linux machines to clean the Pen drives before connecting it to the Windows Machine? I think this is one of the biggest FEATURES of Linux.
Call your bank! tell em you're going to the media as in "halp-my-buntu-box-does-not-do-word" unless they fix that. Happened here on my bank, they required IE 7 and I (and other fellow local geeks) called and emailed them so now they support Opera and Firefox.
Yes, but damage it's done. Now average people (those who saw the news, God forbid if it get to digg) will associate Linux with "does not work" people don't rationalize when they don't have the necessary intellectual background to do it.
As I always have said you should need to pass an IQ test o competence test in order to have a PC, the PC is a tool (as in hammer) and something that you can use to create stuff, being software, music, multimedia, publishing etc. But average user just maintain a shitload of virus and botnets, chat in messenger and help id thieves to get profits thanks to face book. Seriously, incompetent users are a lag for overall development and evolution of IT. They don't need a PC! it's fucking evolution: you can't use the "_new pen_"?? so fucking starve. Theres too much leech in the world. Sound a bit nazi but, you, developers, how many time you had to ditch an ubber-revolutionary feature just because it was not user friendly? huh?. Or you web developers, how many hundreds of hours have you wasted creating hacks for IE? I'd say, LET THEM STARVE!
Because we know that stuff that comes from Microsoft help to get a grip on reality and is always a rational way, the Ms way[/srcsm]. Bullshit! Where did he get the idea? MTV? American Idol? a pixie? you just can't say that the game does not have anything to do with the crime, it's obviously generated (in two diff instances) from the game itself. YES, GAMES DO FUCK PEOPLE! obviously this just happens in places where youth does not have anything better to do than go killing other people because it's "scene stuff" where a SEVERE DISCONNECTION from reality is the norm. And the dad is a jerk, I'd sign in anything to send the bastard right to a jailbait-class-A prison.
Win7 64 bit needs a fixed disk size otherwise it will not install in VirtualBox, at least for me. And footprint is almost *over 9000mb* Don't see how this will work on netbooks. I think the extra weight if for pre-packaged drivers.
some will launch a "consolidated" Win XP Sp3 with a shitload of drivers and other stuff (even some backdoors if you don't pay attention), this time you will find it in torrent because is not Microsoft who will launch it.:P
that subtle but increasing racism is not going to affect black people, it's going to be the end of America as we know it, and plenty of people want that. Being an American and a racist is just being in the side of the ones that do not like America. Think about it my troll
Since a very few years UK (also AUS) looks more like that dystopian paradise that was portrayed on 1984 by George Orwell, seriously, looks bad from a distant point of view. In times like this you can count on youth to say "not to easy" to the "system" sadly actual youth is severely handicapped and out of sync with reality. Oh well, I for one welcome 1984 Beta
What The Fuck does youth know about music.. they listen what they radios stations are paid to play. You can remaster the shit out of that tapes but they will never sound as it was back then, I have a pair of '79 Sylvania Speakers and enven a crappy 128Kbps Mp3 of Queen or Pink Floyd is a whole new dimension in sound, no new hardware sound like that. I don't know how I got some cuadraphonic mix from the dark side of the moon, it's a DVDA DTS and DOLBY and YOU haven't listened anything until you listen to that on the hardware it was meant to be played. Youth never decides what will be timeless, they just live in the now. The only youth thats worth the headache it's Sonic Youth:P
As anybody in the first world that tries to do something for the people in needs failing miserably because they don't have a fricking clue on third world reality. Also.. Is there anything MS can not mess with? Such a good initiative trashed by corruption, it's a shame.
What? I have a Huawei HG520e and 3 clients connected, the thing have been alive for weeks (47 days straight once) I just reboot it if I want to change the wireless password. And I got it free from my ISP. what are you talking about?

An Athlon XP should be enought for almost any home user, unless you like to hand real power for your botnets.

so we are positive that this can be a new meme?
May it be.. WinBar? where-the-windows-hide-when-are-not-in-useBar? UbberBar? I agree with you theres plenty of options.
Sysinternals have a great app for this, take a look.

[tinfoilhat]Ya, looks like marketing in Microsoft is getting creative, ya know mouth-to-mouth is the ubber weapon. [/tinfoilhat]

7.. 7 is the new vista, it's working now on beta but on release that will be fixed.

What you've done it's called style. Style = do more with less. I'd mood you insightful if I could.

So AMD does not have too much to worry about after 2012(TM) "AMD the CPU for a brave-new-post-apocalyptic-world"
Maybe because Jews OWN 90+% of world mass media??? maybe?
