You mean the "you agreed to this without agreeing to it" one-sided BS 3-page statement that most countries' courts have already determined to be worth more if printed on single-ply toilet paper?
Windows user right? You would have to be since that is just about the only OS that doesn't have those 4 commands either pre-installed or 1 command away from being installed (I know about cygwin, but few windows users do). I've seen college industry projects that took the group 3 months to build (the client specified writing in C) that could have been accomplished with 3 unix commands in a 10 line shell script written in 5 minutes.
What the OP meant was that if you are doing rsync/grep/find/sed stuff via a GUI it's as much "using" a computer as taking the bus is "driving". Here's an example, if you wanted to delete all the Thumbs.db files from a directory (recursively of course) in windows, you would have to:
1) Open search
2) specify that you are searching for files & folders
3) specify the directory in the directory field
4) specify "Thumbs.db" in the name field
5) hit search
6) quickly scan the list to ensure nothing else got hit (ex: PaintedThumbs.dbrain.jpg)
7) Select all (advanced users will click one and hit CTRL+A
8) hit delete
9) close the search window
in linux you
1) open terminal
2) "find _directory_ -name Thumbs.db --exec rm {} \; ; exit"
3) hit enter
Does anyone else find it sad that NASA+NORAD+whoever can detect a small missile launch on the other side of the world in minutes, but can't predict when or where a satellite THEY PUT UP THERE THEMSELVES will land or even IF it has landed already?!?
Viewing multimedia on the web without [a client-side programming language|JavaScript] would be an [unenjoyable|frustrating|non-interactive] experience.
Really? Because the html video/audio tags along with good old img seem to work BEAUTIFULLY without javascript.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. Some of the eee's work fine (the models where linux is an option), but the ones where windows is the only option, the wifi card is usually a BUGGER to get working. It's changed recently though with Broadcom FINALLY pulling their heads out of the asses and releasing decent driver material.
I never claimed it to be perfect, just MUCH better than trying to install windows without the driver-pack the OEM spends so much time putting together.
He probably meant the root user on the router. Most 3rd party firmwares (and OEM ones for that matter) are minimalist linux installs that actually run as root.
Disney actually pioneered quite a few movie-related techniques. Maybe not video formats, but Bambi alone involved the pioneering use of slow-motion video capture (for the rain drops), multi-layered panning (trees moving at different rates) and a few others I can't remember (something about deer anatomy). I'm usually the last person to defend Disney, but one thing they DID do was innovate.
Ideally, it'd be done with an application cache that keeps the gigabytes of data on the device. But the spec leaves quota expectations undefined, and real-world devices have been seen to have maximum cache sizes such as 5.25 MB that would be impractically small for this use.
I don't recall Google forcing companies to use only its product (OEM installs), locking people in to their products with locked down file formats, using their market share to force themselves into other markets or spreading blatant FUD about competitors. Making your competitor pay more for your services, especially when the price is negotiated one-on-one with each company, is hardly close to any of the crap Microsoft pulled to earn those anti-trust lawsuits.
The eee's (believe it or not) are one of the WORST brands you can try installing linux on. They are the quintessential exception to the linux driver rule. BTW, the last last laptop I bought had linux running on it the day after I had it (didn't have time to burn the disk that night). When I went to install windows as a dual-boot later (different version than what came with it), it took DAYS to track down the drivers and the sound is STILL messed up in half my games.
Now that we've both shared our anecdotal evidence, please understand that apart from a couple fringe wireless drivers and lexmark printers, linux supports just about everything made between 5 years ago and next week.
HAHAHA. Another MS shill that actually still believes that Windows has better driver support than linux. I have installed linux on everything from PII's to dual-core laptops with VERY few glitches. I have yet to upgrade/downgrade windows on ANY of those machines and have the sound work properly and that's after making custom slipstream disks and trying every driver available from Microsoft AND the hardware manufacturers. Oddly enough, Linux just... worked...

Not sure about DogDude, but my local computer store sells pretty much everything.
I guess that's why you posted as AC. Oh, wait......
Don't think typewriters had keypads on the side...
No, malicious hacking would be taking a pencil and popping out an extra hole in one of the cards while they weren't paying attention :P

Now you tell me which is easier to do...

Depends who runs the studies and how their done. If it's simply someone doing a survey, "Windows" could be considered good.
AHA, Now I understand. Microsoft if just pissed that their own products aren't ranking as high on Bing anymore.
More like their being told to pay twice as much bubble gum to play with the new kid's truck.
The code or the algorithms? The algorithms (as Google themselves have stated) change every day and the code is kind of useless without the algorithms.

Wow, the ostrich is actually a pretty good example. What other animal buries their head as deep in the sand during trouble than we do?
BTW, Google+ is now in public beta, time to update your signature...
