would you care to give one example where you used cli to configure something in windows? and remember, i am not talking about xp or earlier. if you want to compare against xp, then use a 10 year old version of a linux distro.
you are comparing a modern newly released os with a 10 year old, dying one. try again with vista and then say if you have any problem with sound. here's a tip, you won't.
lenny was released in 2009. xp ten years ago. you do realize you are comparing a bleeding edge os with an ancient, dying one? try the comparison again with vista and whine if you have a problem. better still try windows 7.
windows 7 has been very different from vista or xp. it FINDS drivers for everything and installs them, without bothering the user. only thing is, ubuntu has been like this for about 2 years.
just a week ago, ubuntu surprised me too. i plugged in my se phone just so i could charge it. a few seconds later i got a prompt from ubuntu if i would like to use the phone's gprs connection for internet! instant zero-config tethering! never seen that one before. i said yes and the connection was up and working in about 30 seconds.
you know why i'd never give up my pc for a console? because no console can output 1080p to my lcd. my pc happily goes way above that. play the same gmae on xbox360 and on a good pc with high settings. you won't want to look at the xbox.
it is difficult to imagine how would i behave in a stranded and food scarcity scenario. i refuse to believe that i could eat anything, even another human. but who knows what primal instincts may take over when you are dying of hunger?
no, my coaching institute tried to change all their systems to edubuntu because new vista systems were too expensive. but for a few weeks, we did not have any presentation in our classes. because oo is so buggy that you cant expect it to remain stable for one hour at a time. ultimately all the in-class systems had to be reverted to xp with office.
i really hate thes crap plugins. flash was bad enough. now i have to install quicktime and silverlight too. i have promised myself that i won't ever install quicktime and silverlight crap on my system. try as i might i can't expect decent browsing without flash. its become viral. people use it just because they don't know enough javascript.
yeah, there's nothing wrong in daydreaming but know this: market share for win7 beta/rc is.24%. from zero to.24 in five MONTHS. linux just a few days ago crossed the 1% mark. from zero to 1% in 18.5 YEARS. look! no one's FUCKING interested. i don't mean win is better than linux. but your argument 'no one cares' is full of shit. instead of accepting inferiority and acknowledging better software (i'm talking about oo vs office here), oo users just keep repeating that oo is better, office is crap ui, ribbon is shit, no one gives a shit. no, they do not contribute to constructive and intelligent discussion, or try and help improve oo. no, they are complacent and convinced that oo is better than office, no body gives a shit about oo because it is buggy, slow, bloated and generally crap. sadly, the only one you are helping is ms. but i will continue to support better software, whether it is open source or proprietary. because open software can't compete and gain acceptance/share based on its openness. users can't give a shit for open source. any open source app has to compete on things that software usually competes about (usability, performance, functionality, non-bugginess).
everyone hates office because it messes up odf spreadsheet formulas. even though everything is perfectly odf compliant. then they don't say anything about oo annoying the user by popping up insane shit every FUCKING time you try to save a document that is NOT in odf format. yes, it prompts some shit even for rtf. but no, everyone lurves oo, cause its free. yeah, but my time and effort are not free. they are worth the 100$ that i used to buy ms office. imo, oo is THE thing holding back linux. i wouldn't give a second glance to windows/osx if ms office or something as good can run on linux. oo is a pile of crap. it is bloated, slow-as-shit, difficult to use and generally buggy. i hope ms uses its $hitload of $$$ just to bury oo so deep that i will never have to encounter it again. then we can start another open source office apps project, focusing on usability and performance. not the feature replication crap oo is entangled in.
exactly! micro$hit is the CAUSE of all problems in the world today. any $hit happening anywhere in the world, and you can be sure of micro$hit'$ role behind it.
i don't know how these children are able to justify their income from the works of their parents. if it was me i'd donate all the money to (favorite charity) in my parent's name.
hell, if was the ceo of a big multi-national media company, i would buy all my songs from itunes and fill up my 120gb ipod. but since i'm just a student and don't have much money i'll stick to piratebay.
then tell me, won't all the linguistic style be gone forever if you just take your text and run it through google translate to convert to zulu and then back to english?
Why use Xerobank, a commercial service? I recommend installing Tor (which is free) and accessing Wikileaks only through their.onion address,http://gaddbiwdftapglkq.onion/. That way you don't use any exit servers, so nobody can sniff your traffic or even know that you're talking to Wikileaks except Wikileaks themselves (who won't know who you are).
i have always wondered how some people seem to get BOTH preview and submit buttons. because i get only preview and after clicking it i get the submit button.
I don't know, suicide worked pretty well for me - you should try it!
so you're telling me you created a highly advanced artificial intelligence to respond to/. articles before you killed yourself? and all that from your basement? and you did not make the code open source? shame!

from vista onwards, most drivers can be installed just by manually initiating windows update. no need to hunt.

yeah, make it like wikipedia articles. they are long but easily navigatable.

and don't forget those customers who pressed shift while inserting sony audio cds, preventing the rootkit from running. what sort of cheats they are!
hell, if was the ceo of a big multi-national media company, i would buy all my songs from itunes and fill up my 120gb ipod. but since i'm just a student and don't have much money i'll stick to piratebay.
yeah, google may even remove their SEARCH result. then at least 50% of their potential customers will never FIND them
well, you just rephrased the summary! such great unseen talent!
Oh, and yes, I am a linguist. :)
then tell me, won't all the linguistic style be gone forever if you just take your text and run it through google translate to convert to zulu and then back to english?

does that mean something or is it just gibberish?
also in barcodes you need only one dimension. but in books you need a plane (2d).
i have always wondered how some people seem to get BOTH preview and submit buttons. because i get only preview and after clicking it i get the submit button.
There is no other way out.
