Boot a redhat cd, pick manual install, with all the defaults its over 1 gig. Start taking out useless gnome garbage like the 5 different lpr frontends and developer shit, watch how many dependencies are broken.
You should take a lesson from the FreeBSD people. They know how to properly design an installer. If you need a small clean system try NetBSD. It had full USB support a year before linux.
Or maybe any version of redhat made in the last 2 years. Try and get a workable install with X and a few apps like mozilla under 1 gig. You can't without manually picking every package and breaking hundreds of dependencies.
Ok I know that you need a license for anything capable of receiving tv signals (tuner card etc) and you have to fill it out at the time of purchase. What if you find a tv sitting out for the trash and you take it home and it works? How about buying all the parts seperately or building it from a kit? In the days of vacuum tubes tv kits were a common sight.
When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!
But I want you to know something, this is sincere, I want you to know, when it comes to believing in God, I really tried. I really, really tried. I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the résumé of a Supreme Being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently-run universe, this guy would've been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago. And by the way, I say "this guy", because I firmly believe, looking at these results, that if there is a God, it has to be a man.
No woman could or would ever fuck things up like this. So, if there is a God, I think most reasonable people might agree that he's at least incompetent, and maybe, just maybe, doesn't give a shit. Doesn't give a shit, which I admire in a person, and which would explain a lot of these bad results.
So rather than be just another mindless religious robot, mindlessly and aimlessly and blindly believing that all of this is in the hands of some spooky incompetent father figure who doesn't give a shit, I decided to look around for something else to worship. Something I could really count on.
And immediately, I thought of the sun. Happened like that. Overnight I became a sun-worshipper. Well, not overnight, you can't see the sun at night. But first thing the next morning, I became a sun-worshipper. Several reasons. First of all, I can see the sun, okay? Unlike some other gods I could mention, I can actually see the sun. I'm big on that. If I can see something, I don't know, it kind of helps the credibility along, you know? So everyday I can see the sun, as it gives me everything I need; heat, light, food, flowers in the park, reflections on the lake, an occasional skin cancer, but hey. At least there are no crucifixions, and we're not setting people on fire simply because they don't agree with us.
Sun worship is fairly simple. There's no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry, no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don't have a special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing. And the best thing about the sun, it never tells me I'm unworthy. Doesn't tell me I'm a bad person who needs to be saved. Hasn't said an unkind word. Treats me fine. So, I worship the sun. But, I don't pray to the sun. Know why? I wouldn't presume on our friendship. It's not polite.
I've often thought people treat God rather rudely, don't you? Asking trillions and trillions of prayers every day. Asking and pleading and begging for favors. Do this, gimme that, I need a new car, I want a better job. And most of this praying takes place on Sunday His day off. It's not nice. And it's no way to treat a friend.
But people do pray, and they pray for a lot of different things, you know, your sister needs an operation on her crotch, your brother was arrested for defecating in a mall. But most of all, you'd really like to fuck that hot little redhead down at the convenience store. You know, the one with the eyepatch and the clubfoot? Can you pray for that? I think you'd have to. And I say, fine. Pray for anything you want. Pray for anything, but what about the Divine Plan?
Remember that? The Divine Plan. Long time ago, God made a Divine Plan. Gave it a lot of thought, decided it was a good plan, put it into practice. And for billions and billions of years, the Divine Plan has been doing just fine. Now, you come along, and pray for something. Well suppose the thing you want isn't in God's Divine Plan? What do you want Him to do? Change His plan? Just for you? Doesn't it seem a little arrogant? It's a Divine Plan. What's the use of being God if every run-down shmuck with a two-dollar prayerbook can come along and fuck up Your Plan?
And here's something else, another problem you might have: Suppose your prayers aren't answered. What do you say? "Well, it's God's will." "Thy Will Be Done." Fine, but if it's God's will, and He's going to do what He wants to anyway, why the fuck bother praying in the first place? Seems like a big waste of time to me! Couldn't you just skip the praying part and go right to His Will? It's all very confusing.
So to get around a lot of this, I decided to worship the sun. But, as I said, I don't pray to the sun. You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Two reasons: First of all, I think he's a good actor, okay? To me, that counts. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with.
For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat.
So I've been praying to Joe for about a year now. And I noticed something. I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same 50% rate. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't. Same as God, 50-50. Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe, the wishing well and the rabbit's foot, same as the Mojo Man, same as the Voodoo Lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles, it's all the same: 50-50. So just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself.
And for those of you who look to The Bible for moral lessons and literary qualities, I might suggest a couple of other stories for you. You might want to look at the Three Little Pigs, that's a good one. Has a nice happy ending, I'm sure you'll like that. Then there's Little Red Riding Hood, although it does have that X-rated part where the Big Bad Wolf actually eats the grandmother. Which I didn't care for, by the way. And finally, I've always drawn a great deal of moral comfort from Humpty Dumpty. The part I like the best? "All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again." That's because there is no Humpty Dumpty, and there is no God. None, not one, no God, never was. In fact, I'm gonna put it this way. If there is a God, may he strike this audience dead! See? Nothing happened. Nothing happened? Everybody's okay? All right, tell you what, I'll raise the stakes a little bit. If there is a God, may he strike me dead. See? Nothing happened, oh, wait, I've got a little cramp in my leg. And my balls hurt. Plus, I'm blind. I'm blind, oh, now I'm okay again, must have been Joe Pesci, huh? God Bless Joe Pesci. Thank you all very much. Joe Bless You!

I'm glad we developed the nuke first. If germany had succeeded we would all be speaking german now. How quickly you forget we bailed half of europe out of WW2.
Ever hear of virtualdub? Its the best video capturing software there is. The linux commies should enjoy it because its also open source. For viewing mpeg2 find some program called sthsdvd, it was written by some chinese guy but its free of bullshit and works great.
Seriously, whats up with that? VH1 was also playing showgirls. Were these movies heavily edited? I heard that if you count the number of times they said fuck in scarface it worked out to once like every 30 seconds.
No one but a fringe group of dirty hippies like you and RMS even remotely give a fuck about it. Ask 10 people on the street if they have heard of mp3, now ask them about ogg vorbis? Mp3 sells baby, ogg doesn't.
What the hell does open source have to do with this article? Not a god damned thing. Just pushing your usual non biased agenda I suppose. Oh well at least I still build hifi tube amps from scratch.
What you haven't installed the completely free version of pop up stopper in windows yet? It stops any pop up/under and lives in your system tray. Hold down the ctrl key when clicking if you want another window to open.
My favorite part of this will be when someone asks "will my USB scanner work?" or maybe "will any game made within the last 3 years run?" How about "will this latest 5.1 channel sound card work in linux?"
Because IE is the superior browser on windows. I don't care what you say about mozilla its been 4 years now and still no finished product. It took less time for IE to overtake netscape, whats that tell you?
are nothing more than CmdrShitheads little bitch boy. He doesn't ban your account because its alreaedy -1 and the only people who it affects are trolls.
Sir I applaud you for coming out and telling the truth. Whats even worse is these fake metal bands with niggers scratching records in the background, trying to get the white and black money I suppose. Do you get that new channel called MTV-X? Around here we call it the white people channel. We created a drinking game around MTV itself, you take a drink whenever you put the channel on and see a nigger or commercial.
Thats the best comparison I've seen yet. I can't stand any of that anime bullshit. Whatever happened to the usual fuck the mpaa attitude around here? Oh thats right it goes away when theres a new POS cartoon or 10 dvd set of LOTR.
The only reason you do this work is because most schools require it. They make you represent bullshit cases like slavery reparations or why you souldn't stick your hand in a running lawnmower. Most of you lawyers are fucking slimey ambulance chasers out to sue everyone from the driver of the car to henry ford's heirs for not putting a warning label on the gas pedal. Yes lawyers do have their place, but most are too greedy for their own damn good. The world would be far better off if you all died and people reverted back to common sense.
Almost all the spam I get has headers to fake a yahoo.com return address or even fake server headers. Fire up visualroute and see who it really belongs to.

A parody is when you come up with your own ideas to make fun of something else. This is just remixing two songs like that thief puff daddy.

Take that you commie fags! Hey that reminds me of a Charlie Daniels song... Uneasy Rider.
Ok I know that you need a license for anything capable of receiving tv signals (tuner card etc) and you have to fill it out at the time of purchase. What if you find a tv sitting out for the trash and you take it home and it works? How about buying all the parts seperately or building it from a kit? In the days of vacuum tubes tv kits were a common sight.
Dude its a fucking joke, get over it. Hes a COMEDIAN.

Do you think we could pay the jews to have all the niggers dumped into a volcano or blasted into the sun?
