Simultaneously, it's useful by providing the location of stolen devices.
Any technology can be used or abused, anyway, but that shouldn't stop progress too much if the benefits far outweigh the costs or added danger.
Now that I've said that... What are the real benefits of this technology, anyway, other than tracking where someone is travelling on his holiday right now, and the above reason? I can't imagine.
True that, but non-techies would probably go with regular Ubuntu or whatever a local Ubuntu'er recommens, and more technical people would enjoy testing and comparing several of them.
Considering how MS's public consists of a LOT more non-techies who don't or wouldn't compare versions of one Windows, it IS a bit confusing to have all these types of unlogically named versions of Windows.
a small group of their best engineers spend years making next gen tech in secret and than pass it on to the lower level coders to build a finished product around it.
The point is that MySQL doesn't ship with Ubuntu where plenty of other distros do. Except the server edition (I think... never tried it, but it makes sense to me if they did).
What do you mean, "do not want"? As soon as German-speaking people have "corrected" the sentences of this article on Google Translate it should be fairly readable...

Wow, when's the last time you used Linux?
It's use(net)less saying that afterwards.
We're talking about optimization profiles for the compiler here, not Firefox user profiles. ;)
Oh, I see! I never knew that that phrase actually had an origin. Interesting to know.

Dude, you HAVE to ISO that shit. It sounds completely awesome.
If these three people will seriously stick to Linux after you convinced them, I only have one thing to say: not everyone is as convincing as you are.

I got a "server error" from freakin GOOGLE, lol.

So you're calling 95% of all modern commercial games shitty, now? Because surely that's how many games there are available for Windows only.
(Sure, there's Wine, but they're still Windows games, no compatibility layer is going to change that.)
Where's Apple come in?
Ultimately, these are different distributions of a distribution, no?
Don't forget unofficial ones like CrunchBang Linux and Eeebuntu, by the way.
He did line up "Fully Cracked" with "happy" though.

So far it's been less than 5% of the posts.
Yeah, but who *would*?
...
Oh, right. Obama.

Meaning they keep talking about these uniforms a lot?
What, citing Wikipedia as a SOURCE?!
It's because it's not the only reason, of course. See the whole discussion about copyright and contracts above.
Yes, but does it run... Oh. Uh, nevermind.
Try swfdec, which is more actively in development and supports more video-related stuff.
And asking non-techies to switch from MS office is like convincing 70-year-olds to drive on the other side of the street.
Not really, seeing as MS Office (up to 2003) and OpenOffice work so very similar in pretty much all basic functions.
(I'm not counting MS Office 2007 here because non-techies would have to relearn that interface too, anyway.)
