I agree with most anti-microsoft people regarding their issues with their software.
i personally love the Sharp Zaurus with Linux. I wonder if the manufacturers of PDAs think that the average computer user/consumer would rather see something with Windows on it, simply because its microsoft, and thats all the uneducated people are aware of as far as computing in general is concerned..
Or are the manufacturers saving money by purchasing the MS Windows Mobile OS simply because it's cheaper than hiring a developer to customize a mobile Linux alternative???? any light shed on this subject would be much appreciated..
what really is cheaper? or more WORTH it I should say?
hey, dumby, did i say ANYTHING about windows?? a computer is a computer.. you can run any damn OS you want to..
if i REALLY wanted OS X that bad, then i'd fuck around with it on cherryos..
what do you do with your computer anyway? browse the web?? check your email?? jesus?? you need a mac just for that?? $2000 for an internet appliance.. for fuck's sake..
you must be out of your mind, or like wasting money.. one of the two..
i dont see how you could "enjoy" computing any much more than when or if you ever used a PC which could do the same exact thing..
the "Walmart" specials that you speak of are actually about $500.. and yea, they are pieces of crap.. Actually, I'd compare them to be exactly like iMacs.. shitty, low end, almost disposable computers..
Do your research.. look up the parts.. give yourself a $1300 budget.. you'd be surprised.. shit, pricewatch.com could give you a hell of a deal with some pretty damn good parts..
especially now that they bought the Cooledit software..
just about everything you listed is a mere alternative for the amazing products of adobe, which i'm sure you are aware of, run on both the PC & Mac platform..
sorry to be a dick.. i do agree with you about the video card.. if they are going to charge that much, they might as well give you something bad ass...
i'm tired of fucking dumb ass macs.. i dont care how good they are, i'm not paying $1300 for a Mac that isn't even CLOSE to their higher end models..
I just think of the AWESOME kind of PC I could build for $1300.. jesus.. its ridiculous..
someone answer me the question, what exactly do you BUY for $1300 thats actually worth it?? what can you POSSIBLY do that you CANNOT do on a regular PC for $1300 ?? NOTHING.. NOT A FUCKING THING AND YOU KNOW IT!!!
its about time something like this gets brought up.. maybe we should start giving a fuck about the PEOPLE for a change.. this country has revolved around businesses for too fucking long.. matter a fact, almost any major issue that people experience politically, usually winds down to businesses being more important than people themselves..
if we worked together from all directions and aspects of how a society should function, then we might have something there..
well see, we KNOW evolution is REAL because we've seen things evolve right in front of our very own eyes.. evolution is a real thing and thats a fact..
however this does not necessarily mean that humans were created from evolution... Teaching kids that we CAME from evolution seems to be what we're arguing about.. i don't have an opinion on that because its too crazy and i think we're not supposed to know the truth at this point in time any way..
kids need to learn about evolution because its a simple and gerenal scientific fact in association to living organisms and other creatures that we've monitored for sight of their evolution..
maybe we did, or maybe we did not come from evolution.. but it is quite ignorant to say that evolution does not exist.. therefore it needs to be tought in a more generic way.. and not making it the ANSWER or BLAME for this given situation..
i agree with you completely.. however the issue is more directed towards wether or not they should allow to teach the evolutionary process in schools..
i believe it should be allowed.. because its not anybody's right to say its NOT allowed.. its our right as americans to teach our kids our religion, and its our KIDS right to let them decide for themselves what they wish to believe...
they need to be teaching kids more about their rights as american citizens rather than trying to make them into robots who conform to one stupid ignorant fucking belief..
I wish people would stop taking for granted the fact that we have freedom of speech in the first place, which allows them to preach all they want about how incorrect the school systems are..
everyone is looking for someone or something to blame for the corruption of the youth and its total bullshit..
Parents also need to understand that its THEIR American right to teach THEIR kids about whatever the hell they want regarding religion, so therefore they should take advantage of that, instead of trying to stop the knowledge of science from being spread around the world, and learned properly..
indeed... lisp is a very powerful language, but practical is not what I'd use to describe it whatsoever.. i've seen it do wonders with clustering projects in which manipulate AI tasks.. that is if you're one of those crazy Patmos'ers
damnit.. I have the regular old rabbit ears.. i think its stupid for people to buy Cable TV if they have a computer with a DSL internet connection..
the combination of both my computer, and my rabbit ears, gives me the perfect amount of mindless entertainment.. cable tv merely makes people a bit more stupid thanks to the insane amount of advertisement.. public tv is a very important thing, and its really not that cost effective.. and thanks to "Viewers like us", we have the RIGHT to keep our freakin analog shit just the way it is..
i just dont get it.. people can't expect to blame AOL.. even though I hate AOL, I don't think that they are responsible for the spawn of some crazy ass old perv..
this is a perfect example of how poorly parents are raising their children.. its the fuckin parents.. i don't condome fuckin pervs that harass little girls one bit.. therefore, as a parent, I would make sure that I restrict the use of the internet to my child.. its MY job to make sure THEY'RE safe.. i don't trust ANYBODY to take care of my child, (AOL) so its all up to me.. for fuck's sake..
i'm sure a lot of you are fully aware of the "Skycar" made by Moller.. www.moller.com I believe..
personally, their model is actually much more efficient and can run for more than 2 hours I believe.. the gas mileage is better and its faster from what the specs say.. i've been waiting for this for a long freakin time.. looking forward to seeing some more info about the air traffic patterns..
true that my friend.. if Adobe Released the entire CS for linux, I'd never use windows again... ever.... thats really the only thing that holds me back to be completely honest with you..
are you retarded?? have you not followed the progress of Linux whatsoever??
Are you trying to say that linux has NOT grown over the past few years, and has NOT caused microsoft to lose money due to software like openoffice?? c'mon man.. its in the stats every freakin' day.. not only have they lost clientel, but they're also loosing potential clientel.. which is perfectly fine in a sense.. but they deliberately made their software read a document that is propietary to their software.. its obvious that it was never meant to be opened by another Office Program.. which is also why MS Office doesn't bother being able to read new Word Perfect documents anymore.. it would steal their business and everything would be pointless.. its a matter of moral here.. you can still kill them at a different game..
things sounds quite interesting.. I do agree with the fact that you can't force someone to do something..
OpenOffice is essentially attempting to force Microsoft to make their products free.. Giving people the capability to produce Microsoft Format ted documents, is a direct invasion on the goal they are trying to pursue as a business..
Yes we hate MS.. but attempting to force them to do certain things, (like giving people free capabilities and alternatives to their software), is merely fueling their fire.. there are plenty of rich people out there that are MORE THAN WILLING to spend their stupid money, on STUPID OPERATING SYSTEMS.. because they themselves, are in fact, quite stupid..

hmmmm well lets see.. I could go out and frolick in the -30 degree wether of Siberia, or I could sit inside my nicely heated home and hack alllll fucking day.. i bet anyone could be the best if thats all they did..
either that would keep me motivated, or the russian mafia will..

its a damn lot more than $2.5billion..
try 2.5 billion, a MONTH atleast..
just like every other STUPID FUCKING REPUBLICAN, its unconstitutional.
not to mention the millions of other things he has contradicted in regards to the Catholic religion.
my grandma surfs with fire wall
and you suckers think you're cool and don't dare going into the internet without a fire wall
man.. that was amazing.. sometimes you shit you pants in disgrace, and sometimes in joy.. and this one was definitely a joyous shit in the pants..
damnit.. I have the regular old rabbit ears.. i think its stupid for people to buy Cable TV if they have a computer with a DSL internet connection..

well, i must say that when I saw the title for this article, i was very excited.. but disappointed when I read everything..
i was hoping to read a bit more technical information, and not just silly alice and wonderland theory.. did i miss anything?
true that my friend.. if Adobe Released the entire CS for linux, I'd never use windows again... ever.... thats really the only thing that holds me back to be completely honest with you..
