have been trying to get ubuntu and kubuntu installed on my comp since 7.04
each time i end up without a bootloader
when i do get a bootloader,and manage to boot, the comp just hangs on the blank desktop screen, showing nothing except the wallpaper
all this only when i am able to get past the partitioning wizard or use gparted to partition my HDD
however it has saved me a lot of headache as well
for some reason windows failed to boot and i had some critical files on the comp
simply booted from live cd and copied them off to a USB, formatted and reinstalled windows
have also used it to replace corrupted files in some windows installations
will try the installation process again with 9.04, hopefully it will be successful
config:
P4 3.0Ghz with HT
512MB RAM
ATI x200 integrated graphics
intel D101GGC motherboard
if there was a way for a computer to determine that the behaviour is human, wouldnt the computer be able to do it anyways??
but what about tricks like telling a user to leave a particular field blank and filling it on the next page instead
this field could be indicated by a captcha which contains a URL
on opening the URL you get another captcha which has a number, u leave that numbered field empty
if the 2nd captcha is entered wrong, then you have to repeat the process from the beginning and fill in 2 captchas on the 2nd page and so on
this way most humans would be able to do it in 1-2 attempts, but bots doing it the hit and trial way would be stuck with 1000's of different captchas
also, having a central database of all the types of captchas and mixing displaying 2-3 different types would be effective as bots are designed for one type of captcha only, arent they

Windows is like a drug addiction. Sometimes it takes several tries to kick it.
More like Windows is a bad stain-- it might take several washes to get it out!
so, a bad stain is worse than a drug addiction?? if not, which OS would u describe as a drug addiction??
