Umm, NO. A random number generator can spit out a pattern just as easily as a non-pattern. Ex: 12345 and 57349 will appear just as common from a random number generator.
So instead of switching to a fairly good DE (linux), you decide to stick with the most useless, feature-free DE in the computing business (windows)? The *only* innovative thing Microsoft has done on the desktop that I can even remember was the "maximize to half-screen by dragging" thing and now almost every major DE out there (unity, gnome, kde) has it. In fact, gnome-2 had it working before windows 7 was even RELEASED!.
Windows hasn't had the right to claim "superior desktop environment" for over a decade.
No, android is a locked-down java-interfaced layer slapped on top of a linux kernel, with some ugly modifications to make it support the hardware. Seriously, 90% of the kernel code pushed upstream form android to the kernel devs is rejected for quality reasons.
Was helping someone at a meeting with their iPad. It was going fine until they needed to send a pdf from a site to someone. I *DEFY* you to send a pdf from safari via e-mail.
Apple's portable devices (laptops excluded) are designed to make the stuff you do 90% of the time extremely easy (take notes, check weather, etc), but everything else (e-mail a pdf, copy a simply link from a google-search, etc) either requires 20 minutes of stupid crap or is simply impossible.
Exactly, unless the test *clearly* shows that you are screwed, the doctor should have you wait a while (time duration dependent on results of first test) and then come back in for a second test to evaluate progress.
Sort of like snake bites. If you come in with a snake bite, they will NOT give you the antidote until they have run 2 tests, usually a while apart, to determine the strength of the initial dose. Otherwise, just like cancer treatment, the antidote can literally kill you faster than the poison. They also use the results to determine how MUCH antidote to give you.
Unless you are getting yourself screened daily, there is about a 0.0001% chance the x-ray will give you cancer. The reason doctors/etc stand behind the concrete wall when they x-ray you is because they are doing that on a regular basis.
Funny, any time me or anyone else I know has had problems getting sound/whatever working there have always been VERY helpful people guiding us through troubleshooting and configuration tests. Hell, my friend even had someone compile and upload a custom soundcard driver for him.
Next time you need help, try not *demanding* a fix and feeling entitled to the lone-attention of everyone in the forum and you'll find they are much more helpful.
if "screen" ( http://www.gnu.org/s/screen/ ) is still better and faster at task managing than your GUI, you've failed. If normal users are still having problems with sound, you've failed.
Really? Because I haven't seen either of those limitations hurting windows much. Believe it or not, I would rather use screen than the crap interface in windows (YES I have used 7) and sound is STILL a pain in the ass to get working with any windows version that was not pre-installed without trudging through the hardware manufacturer's website.
It was years ago that linux became better than windows at both window management and hardware support, saying otherwise is FUD.
Right, because a single example proves the superiority of an entire user interface. Fine, 2 can play at that game. Here is something I have ACTUALLY used (about a month ago), and without the need for google.
Try creating an ISO file on computer A of a CD inserted in the drive of computer B in a single command.
Please note that that was not using some one-off command that was specifically designed to perform cross-network disk copying, but the combination of 2 VERY flexible commands that can be re-purposed for an almost unlimited number of operations. Hell, I could change it to copy the disk form computer B to a blank disk on computer C by running the command on computer A by simply adding 1 utility to my single command.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, but it would be interesting to watch a "ratings" fight between 4chan and Google. Set them on each other and see which one gets red-flagged first!
For windows users, a mac like easy to use..., good driver support for video cards
Yeah, it supports all *5* Mac video cards!

Or they're just making DAMN SURE it won't by making everyone aware of the possibility.
Not as much as you might think.

Darn, I usually catch those. Guess I focused on the first paragraph too much :(
Sounds like a good choice for file servers.
Um, proving a negative is impossible...
Prove it.
To this day I'm pretty sure that youtube is responsible for 50% of ubuntu's popularity.
Monsanto regularly sells seeds that grow plants with useless seeds. It ensures that the farmers have to buy new seeds *every* year.

Ok, for your next trick try it with a machine that wasn't specifically built for windows 7.
And they're the lucky ones. In the rest of the country they've run out of machete's and they have to chose between a shotgun and ammo!
Or fake zombies BECOMING real ones!
Except he's not supplying any false data, just useless, easily filtered out, data.
Because YOU paid for it. Had the manufacturer or distributor paid for it, they'd have paid about $15/install.
