KDE in itself is a clone of Windows look and feel. Perhaps if Gnome was ported to Windows then I'd consider but Windows isn't the most stable thing ever. The last thing I'm going to do is add something on top of it that could make it worse and looks more or less the same.
Fair enough but if companies can shop around for the best country to find employees in then why can't people shop around and live anywhere in the world?
When factoring in everything maybe Americans would wan to live in a cheaper country where jobs go because they, as well, could live off similar wages as those in other countries. But they can't because countries protect their citizens from people coming in and stealing jobs. So really it should go the other way and the government should protect jobs from going into another country.
I say this as a American living in the UK, soon to have dual citizenship, it's not that easy or cheap to move around for the average citizen and in fact in the UK it's getting harder.
I'm all for letting companies go where they want for employment but I think it'd only be fair if we went back to the days of no passports and people as well could go where they want.
The government should tell us nothing otherwise the terrorists might get a hold of something valuable and use it to plot an attack against a flag lapel pin factory or something else that will compromise our patriotism and freedom!
Technology won't fix this. Unfunny is unfunny whether or not it's online and the cost of putting all their old but good material online would probably kill them.
It just desperately needs a better "usual gang of idiots".
Magazines are still perfect for the toilet, travel and even night time reading.
The problem is Mad Magazine used to be good. It used to push the edge a bit and have good writing.
Now it's just a bit bland and tiresome. I, for one, would have never thought they'd do a kid version of Mad. That just goes to s how how much it's change, imo.
Well you didn't expect them to keep a hold of all those blankets covered in small pox? That's unhealthy.
Your implication that I'm being a racist is absurd when I don't even live in the same country as native Americans so they don't enter my mind at all until one of them decides to imply they have better spirituality than others. More so when they originally come from this side of the globe just like all other immigrants in the US.
This advert shows Aero in use but it doesn't call it Aero nor does it say not all versions can do everything. It advertises Vista as if it's one product but in reality it's numerous versions and consequences to which version you buy.
You're right the average user is a bit thick and doesn't know what aero is but they did see that advert and would assume simply buying vista will give them the same experience.
It affects you more and destroys your credibility. You shouldn't have caved.
By your logic the US should be helping pay out to rebuild Gaza since we make it possible for Israel to do what they do and probably even gave them the white phosphorus they used illegally.
Just because don't want to take personal responsibility any more doesn't mean they're not at fault when they do something wrong.
No, its Microsoft program that determines if the sticker can go on the PC.
Sure hardware people asked for it. But it's the same as if your friend tells you that you should con people out of money. You choose to do it so it's your fault.
And the government knows what makes a good programmer?
No, the company has to prove that no American is available to do the job or wants it. That's not necessarily proving that the foreign person is better. Hence the reason companies will advertise impossible jobs to ensure no one will take it on.
As far as the cost of the visa, the company will likely pay them less and it balances out or, it's not unusual for the company to have the employee pay the cost of the visa which means it costs the company nothing but a little of their time advertising fake jobs.
But as it's been pointed out not everyone on an H1-B visa is better. But they are cheaper.
Secondly if you lay off a American programmer and then ask to import another one you can't claim that you can't find anyone in the US to do it because you did and you sacked him.
Yes because a intelligent, hard-working, and self-reliant would vote for an old man with cancer and a inbred bimbo for a VP that would likely become president. It just makes so much sense!
Don't get more wrong I don't think kicking intelligent immigrants out so some lazy American can have a job he can't do right is a wise move.
However a jobless immigrant goes back home. A jobless American has to get help from the government and becomes a drain on the system because of that and the fact they're not paying taxes.
So to alleviate the tax burden on those that still have a job in the overly in debt nation it makes sense to ensure as many tax payers and people eligible for government help are working so they are paying taxes and not living off tax payer money.
I've read a preview for the Ghostbusters game coming out and they're cutting things that appear in the Ghostbusters movies to make them more child friendly.
So why is it ok for Peter Venkman to swear in a movie but not the game?
Also, has there ever been a game sold with child porn in it? That comment just makes no sense.
But hell has evolved too. It's no longer a fiery lake but instead now just like a cheap motel. I hope by the time of my death it will be a 5 star hotel but you can't have everything.
After all we've seen some people haven't evolved as fast as we hoped they would.
She has no right to go into your bag especially when it has nothing to do with illegal activities.
No matter what she thinks those notes are yours. She destroyed your property so now it's time to destroy her.
If you read your handbook you should see that the students have more rights than they think. The school will never tell you this. They only point out the things you shouldn't do in the handbook and not the good bits.
Olbermann is biased but he's also very popular and it could have been guessed by the guy that Olbermann would get the message out there there to more people and quicker.
That or maybe he shopped around for payment on an exclusive and they paid up.
There is the option to uninstall or never install a lot of the little features in Windows. You can also quite easily disable many of the devices. If you can figure out how to do that with Linux, it's even easier in Windows. Bloat or not, we still have the ability to turn off or get rid of a lot of the things you don't want.
Just get rid of the shortcut, it's a lot easier than trying to rip out vital parts of the OS because you'll just get all whiny when removing the only web accessing part of the OS too.
The problem is the IE icon isn't the bloat, IE is and your claim was that if you can remove the bloat from Linux you can do it easier within Windows. That's false. You can remove more from Linux and can, if you were a bit weird, you could even run Ubuntu server edition on your desktop, have no desktop environment, remove all the server software and have a really bare (and admittedly boring) system.
Requiring what is an average computer upon the time of release is not bloat and just because an OS won't run on some early 80's computer doesn't mean it's bloated.
Humans don't fit well into old housing because we're bigger than people from the 1400s but that doesn't make people bloated. What makes people bloated is when they exceed what they realistically need and the same goes for software.
My desktop is fairly old now and only has some shit on-board video card. It was acceptable with XP if I didn't want to do gaming but Ubuntu runs fine and with compiz desktop effects. I'll recreate 2 girls 1 cup with myself and my mother if Vista would perform as well as Ubuntu on my desktop.
I suspect my laptop would struggle too despite it's Vista capable sticker.
I recall more people complaining about bugginess than bloating in XP upon its launch.
In fact a quick search on google finds no complaints about XP bloating except for one about embedded Bloated.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Dependencies from 2008.
A lot of Vista fanboys make the same claim as you but I'd like to see some proof.
Everyone has pretty much agreed that Vista is about as popular as boning your own mother.
It's also hypocritical of MS sympathisers who say, for instance, IE shouldn't be removed from Windows because most people want it. But at the same time these people are wrong when they universally say Vista is shit. What is it, do people know what's best for themselves or not?
I mean, there is already the option to remove access to it and use another browser as default. That's really all OEMs would need to ship a third-party browser (it would be problematic for Microsoft to do so.)
Except that doesn't fully get rid of it and using certain programs, especially MS applications like MSN will still call IE instead of your default browser even though you are viewing a normal web page that you could enter manually into Firefox and view fine.
And that's the problem that it's impossible to get it out of your life on a windows machine. There is no reason for that. People should have the right to install and remove IE.
There is no reason they can't create what is basically a hidden browser that can only be used by programs to display html within the program while having the internet browser be completely separate and removable.
What MS has done only suits them. Something that should only be used for browsing the internet shouldn't be something a whole system is dependant on especially when that internet browser is in secure because simply not using the browser may not leave you any more secure if half of the applications you use rely on it.

Not always but then again EA recently got into trouble for using 360 footage of Tiger Woods to advertise the Wii version.
Yeah because Microsoft's marketing is aimed at ensuring no one sees their ads.

I'm sure he's native American, like most Americans. You can see it in his writing.

I think rather than try to just present things as fact to children they should teach them to question everything and how to think and use logic.
