Small kids and the elderly get the regular influenza vaccine for free every year in November and December*. So this could be a reason why these usually-vulnerable groups are resisting this virus a little bit better than young adults.
* Because here, like in other civilized countries, we do have (semi)universal healthcare
There is a British Airways 747 that flies everyday on weekdays between Mexico City Airport and London Heathrow. My buddies in the airport tell me it usually flies full.
So yeah, this cat is out of the bag.
And for what its worth, the first few cases were discovered in Texas and California, and only later detected in Mexico City
Can't answer for EEE users, but I am happy to report that it works out of the box in my Acer AspireOne
Network, Audio, Mic, Webcam, etc...
Apparently the hot-plug issue for the right cardreader is still there, but it doesn't affect me since I only have SD cards, which work perfectly in the left cardreader
Like the Universal Netbook Installer? Plug in your thumb drive, select a linux distro, and the program downloads the image, and copies it to your usb stick. Reboot your computer, and install.
This is exactly what I was talking about, thank you
Indeed. What advantage would Windows 7 starter offer over Ubuntu Netbook Remix?
Also, about installing an OS from a flash drive, remember the advances we have seen in OS install programs in the last 10 years. I am pretty sure there could be a program to sell cheap 1GB drives with different flavors of Linux preinstalled...
Slashdot Mirror
I tell everybody who will listen to stay away from Lexmark and buy HP, regardless of the OS they use.
Even my cheap HP 1018 printer, which is supposedly a "dumb winprinter", works perfectly on Ubuntu
Touche'
iTunes is the last non-game app that regular people use that does not have a reasonable Linux equivalent
I'd rather live here than in a country where carrying a concealed firearm is a human right, but affordable healthcare is not...
Thanks anyway
Obviously, it makes sense, because you don't want to go to the hospital today and find a Windows 7 Beta powered device responsible for your safety.
Sure, but you also don't want to go to the hospital today and find a Windows 3.11 powered device responsible for your safety
$349.00 USD is about a fourth of my monthly salary, or about a month's rent of a decent two bedroom apartment here in my city.
Give a regular user a choice between free* Windows and Free* Linux, and they will choose Windows in a heartbeat.
This is designed to get users to upgrade from WinXP to Win7 and not to Linux
Damn you Slashdot and your lack of UTF-8 support! ...dang, that was an unprintable expletive, allright
I once heard a Spaniard curse:
"Me cago en las tetas de la Virgen MarÃa para que el niño JesÃs coma mierda!"
It doesnÂt have sex or animals, but the double dose of religion makes up for it
They probably think he looks Elvish...
Ah, that makes sense...
Silly regios who think they are gringos just because they go shopping in McAllen twice a month
Thanks for the link, though
Sorry, but I'm going to say [citation needed] here. Where? I'm in Mexico City and there is not a single one
There is not a single Taco Bell in Mexico. That should be hint enough for anybody looking for Mexican food.
Abreu here reporting from Mexico City:

You probably meant to say "proverbial"...
"Preverbal" sounds as if you donÂt have working sound
I can confirm that boot time is improved.
It is clocking 40 seconds in my Atom N270 netbook
Well, be sure to thank Dan from all of us!

Yeah, but they probably don't know about Stallman's twin katana prowess... I certainly would never try to provoke him to anger...
The deal requires that Death be listed as co-author and gets 25% on the movie rights. Oh, and the movie is to have a major role for Binky.

It might jack up the temperature by a degree and melt all the icecaps on earth, but other than that, it wouldn't be too big of a deal...
You don't live near the coast, do you?
Why would you buy a company for billions of dollars and ditch it's most popular product?
BeOS fans are still scratching their heads at this one
(granted, Palm did not pay billions for Be, but still...)
nothing wrong with it, its just overused
