Why doesn't the USA defend its borders instead of letting Mexicans flood across it if they care so much about National security? If I wrote a dictionary, under the word hypocrisy would be a picture of GWB.
yeah they have remorse allright, but the psychs just want to wash it all away while the USA degenerates into a despotic dictatorship that spend $Millions terrorising other countries.
USAF are a bunch of weak-minded and gutless cowards. Brainwash the guilt away and make the "enemy" pay. The US government is the largest terrorist organisation in the world today.
It interests me that when talking about Windows the Geek does not separate the kernel from the UI. The NT kernel of XP and Vista is fifteen years old. The LInux kernel seventeen.
The Mac's UNIX roots can be traced back to the NeXT system of 1985.
In many ways Linux is actually easier to learn because nothing is hidden from you.
This is the main reason I switched. I wanted to study OS's and see what made them tick. With WinXP i hit a brick wall and was frankly pissed off. How dare MS keep me from seeing something I (well the Mrs anyway) had paid for. Then I realised that we didn't own it and that we only leased the license to use it.
Then I started hearing about this magical system that can update without rebooting and when a program crashes, only *that* program crashes, it doesn't take the whole OS with it, that it was constructed in a logical and hierarchical way instead of the GUI being mashed in with the OS, how I could enjoy *years* of uptime etc. But the real clincher was that it worked "out of the box" on a no name machine I dubbed the "Johnny Chinpo 1000" with my wireless kit and averaged broadband speeds of 1.5-2x what I maxed out on with WinXP. I was sold...but it was free!...and then there were the desktop effects...my oh my, someone out there cared about the end user and cared that we could play with the desktop while doing large downloads...the OS as entertainment... That OS was Ubuntu 7.10 and altho I had a few hiccups upgrading to 8.04, I would never go back and cringe everytime I have to use windoze.

Hell,I'm typing this on an 8 year old 1.1GHz Celeron running Win2K Pro.

If it ain't broke don't fix it?

Ubuntu IS Linux. I know, I run it. But I also run Fedora, Solaris and OpenBSD.
Me too. You must have a lot of spare time ;O)
BluRay is awesome for data storage too...I mean 54GB on a disc ought to be enough for anybody ;o)
And Nazi supporters US Standard Oil changed their named to Exxon and were the proud owners of the Exxon Valdez
If I had points I would mod you up.
Particularly if there was a "funny because it's true" category
