You must be smoking rock. The update took under 5 minutes to download, install, and reboot. I love my G5 more than any Dell I've ever had. If you want to talk about a laundry list of problems, I'll start talking about my 450mhz inspiron laptop. Worst piece of computational garbage I've ever owned.
I'm not the kind of person who likes to (nor can I afford to!) drop money on a new computer every few months. I like to buy things, and have them last. Apple products last. Of the 4 years I used that Dell, it was seriously defective for over 3 of them.
I've already heard comments on TV about "increased wiretapping authority" and about how "they don't want to impede anyone's civil liberties, but we aren't going to be able to have all the freedoms we used to." I mean, those aren't verbatim, but they're close. God Bless America.
I work at Toys R Us, and a favorite way to fire employees is to throw their timecard away, so you end up coming in to work on a day you were scheduled and you're just not able to punch in. I think it's a pretty prick-ish way of doing things. At least give someone warning, ya know?
This is my first slashpost, so I'll try to make it good. Reading the other comments, all you people have a lot of negative things to say about "Red Hat this, Red Hat that..," but, the fact remains that our country takes our military VERY seriously (too seriously, probabably, but that is neither here nor there...) Anyway, the fact that they're trusting the military to open source, and Linux in general, is a big boost for the movement. The army is stubborn as hell. Always has been, always will be. If even the ARMY has switched to Linux, what is everyone else waiting for? I just think it's more theoretical advertisement, and another testimonial to the strength of open source. Just think, if they had winME in tanks, they'd have to call time-out on the battle field to reboot when it crashed.

Genital piercins, while interesting, functional and exiciting, are not really the best means to express your undying love for someone.

Obviously, they'd open nano-umbrellas, and ride the wave.
