Isn't this the same country that I saw mountains and mountains of private legally owned firearms piled up out in parking lots and destroyed by the authorities.
Now I get it First you send your undesireables to this penal colony Then when their way of life is more free than yours You move in take over and enslave them all again
What a country I think it's time for the everyday working aussie to take back their country again.... Did they have an equivalent of the Boston Tea Party ?
I have no links but I switch on average one person a week from windows to linux The only panic is how they get on the internet A dialout modem is sheer panic....most of the time I will switch over to a known good modem Only once did I hit a network card that didnt work and that was a Davicom and then mostly the 2nd most feared thing is their printer....especially an all in one monster I've been lucky and never had to make an all in one work just print....or talked them into buying a laser printer.
I love it when someone say's but I need to use Autocad or Photoshop and I say "Oh you own a legal copy do you" and 99% of the time they freak because they don't hehehehe
My job is to be the technical reference or the guy who knows better....and is depended upon to do right by them... When you go to your doctor do you tell them exactly how and what to do to fix it ?? Dumbass !!!
When I go to a restaurant and the waiter is honest enough to tell me the so and so is lousy... by all means I don't order that off the menu.
This mentality of "let the ignorant remain ignorant" is what's keeping polio and all other extinct diseases alive in the world and Microsoft still in business.
BTW where do you work....don't think I'd advise anyone to go there for fixins..... Just send em back home to do it all over again and again and again.....
I see you post and think I must have left my diary open on Slashdot this morning.... Every single day I convert someone over to Mepis 6.0 (ubuntu basically) but with all the media stuff preinstalled and I also run a business doing this... Most of the time I won't even take a windows job... and in all but the most extreme cases I have converted them over.... but when there is a rare instance....like you mentioned... I likewise insist on installing all the OSS there is... The Gimp, Openoffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Cdex, Winamp, etc....etc... also using as open as possible protections....AVG, Ewido, blbeta, spybot, adaware, zonealarm.... It's amazing.....every single one of them are still up and running perfectly while the other boxes in the same households are crashing....infested to no end...and bot fodder... The freakiest part of all is nowadays I'm seeing more and more idiots buying new computers and new hard drives because they are so infested (slowed to molasses speed) that they think that is the fix... and yes techs like you and I are making a huge difference..... keep it up....we're gaining on em....
unless US home users take action to secure their computers and put a halt to the zombie PC problem
Whoa.....
It's US home users fault that a convicted monopoly was not prosecuted ???
Really ? I just wonder how the spam problem statistic would look if suddenly there was a linux client in every single computer in America where there now stands Windows. (I mean immediately as in the flick of a light switch)
Can you buy a preinstalled Linux pc at Best Buy Walmart (at the store) CompuUSA Target (at the store) Radioshack Knart (at the store) Any model of Dell you want with Linux instead of windows installed
What a dumbfuck!!! At onebbscon in Tampa there was 300 booths hawking OS/2 and one with Windows....LOL
Keep up....you gotta be shittin me....
Better bone up on yer fuckin history mate.. Gates put in a phone call 15mins before w95 was released and threatened IBM...it was in the transcripts of the monopoly trial...
Typical don't know a fuckin thing windows asshole mouth off from total ignorance...

I say this guy's a troll in the first degree

I have been using Linux for my desktop since 1992 with no glitches whatsoever.....
and again.....
Why is Linux NOT ready for the desktop ????????????
Isn't this the same country that I saw mountains and mountains of private legally owned firearms piled up out in parking lots and destroyed by the authorities.
Now I get it
First you send your undesireables to this penal colony
Then when their way of life is more free than yours
You move in take over and enslave them all again
What a country
I think it's time for the everyday working aussie
to take back their country again....
Did they have an equivalent of the Boston Tea Party ?
The one with the most features AFTER
the DRM is completely absent !!!!
I have more than 50 people all using Mepis Linux ranging from 7 to over 70 ...
.... that was the trick ...
not a one of them has asked for Windows back
I installed it
And to each user customization for their particular needs
Ipod gtkpod
Office OO
Ham Radio Xastir
etc...etc....etc...
We are all waiting for the same story to break out about
Quicken, Adobe Photoshop, and Autocad
What possible reason could these companies have for holding back
on recompiling versions for Linux ?
Guns are sold without bullets
They work fine
If you want to use them
You "AQUIRE" bullets
No single supplier has a stranglehold
on all gun sales......
cmon....get up off that BULLSHIT....
I bought the book after browsing the section dealing with gtkpod alone
it was so common sense and respectful how he treated the reader...
I was not used to reading a linux book that was so clear
and understandable.
I have no links but I switch on average one person a week from windows to linux
The only panic is how they get on the internet
A dialout modem is sheer panic....most of the time I will switch over to a known good modem
Only once did I hit a network card that didnt work and that was a Davicom
and then mostly the 2nd most feared thing is their printer....especially an all in one monster
I've been lucky and never had to make an all in one work just print....or talked them into
buying a laser printer.
I love it when someone say's but I need to use Autocad or Photoshop and I say
"Oh you own a legal copy do you" and 99% of the time they freak because they don't hehehehe
The guyz just don't have a clue
They have never had a clue
That's what happens when an electronic mfr also gets into the music business
Sonme pretty stupid structuring....
Minidisk coulda been huge....they coulda been the IPOD of the 90's but NOOOOO
these guyz where the great grandfather of DRM and just didn't get it....
My job is to be the technical reference or the guy who knows better....and is depended upon to do right by them...

So how come we can't get term limits....??
Who's driving the bus ??
If only i knew what the hell good it is...
To the millions of Linux only users who live and breathe here ?
Did Taco lapse into a "Querty On The Forehead" comma again....
and some passing winhose juggernaut tapped this onto his keyboard..
We used to do that when someone would leave their terminal without
logging off...we'd spam the intranet from their terminal...LOL
Say's it all
These jerks will never learn as long as they own a music subsidiary
Microsoft suggests
You keep sending more money muhahahaha....
get a refund on windows, remove it from your machine and start your life afresh with *nix
Where ?
Can you buy a preinstalled Linux pc at
Best Buy
Walmart (at the store)
CompuUSA
Target (at the store)
Radioshack
Knart (at the store)
Any model of Dell you want with Linux instead of windows installed
Yeppp still a monopoly !!
Helluva difference between putting the apps on the same cd and hooking them into the kernel
and not providing the means of removing them...
NO DRM
NO APPLE ANYTHING
NO SONY ANYTHING
Look into iRiver....
OGG
Drag and Drop from any OS
Get a Clue....
Microsoft suing the EU in a European Courtroom...
Whos.....they must be smokin some of their software
Running on Longhorn of course
Red Screen Of Death
