Wait, this game was released over a year ago? I've been telling people that I've been getting a launch title for twelve bucks o_o. I'm with this guy *points to above post*
Judging from the ability to use a mac keyboard as a setting when installing Ubuntu and having a "Mac" section on the ubuntu forums, I would say that at least Ubuntu can be run on a Mac. I've never done it, though.
While passwords can be brute forced given enough time, your face is almost certainly available to someone who has access to get at your computer.
Also, you could say that face recognition is just as secure as writing a reasonably long password on your forehead. Someone takes a picture and boom. Access.
Personally, I refrain from writing my passwords on my forehead - regardless if I can see a suspicious-looking character taking a picture of me square-enough in the face to capture all the digits. And, I also refrain of using or buying face recognition devices...
I must say...I agree. I don't flip my desktops over while there's a disk inside. People just expect their systems to be as resilient as an N64. I once had a game that I found in a sewer in the school behind my house (I was an adventurous kid) and it worked and didn't damage the console. I cleaned the game obviously. But then again, I didn't turn my N64 on it's side either haha. Out of curiousity, can you turn a PS3 on it's side while a game is in there, spinning or not spinning? It looks like you could accomplish that feat with a Wii.
You know what happens when someone is told NOT to laugh? I can picture it now...
PictureLady: No sir, no smiling. Driver: *stiffles a chuckle* PictureLady: Sir...
Maybe waiting two hours in a quiet room will remedy that however...By the way, at least in my state, you can call ahead. I was in and out in 30 minutes = record. Maybe that's why I have a big smile on mine....lol.
I can confirm this 12 seconds and then 2 seconds after initial starting. My guess would be that it has something to do with ubuntu/linux's resource efficiency. I experience the same thing after not having used compiz effects and then all of a sudden using a bunch. After a second or two, they're running perfectly smoothly. Not sure why this is, but I think my box would run slower if this method was not used. Anyone know what I'm talking about specifically?
Well, it seems you're comparing a modded XP to a clean Ubuntu. I would suggest you learn how to mod Ubuntu to fit your needs and then come back. Also, clean 8.10 boots at under a minute from grub. I can't imagine XP beating that even modded, but then again, I never bothered to mess with XP so I won't compare.

I didn't realize a bright sight to the economy failing as much as it is until just now...
I have nothing to hide, but my conversations are my business. This is why I encrypt all my volumes and use OTR...
