3) Depending on your bosses answer and your morality
a) Boss says: hunt down priated software -> you do that
b) Boss says: dont touch the issue and you are not too worried about the moral/legal issues: close your eyes
c) Boss says: dont touch the issue and you are worried about the moral/legal issues AND you are brave: state is explicictely in an e-mail to your boss with somebody else in the company in the CC
d) Boss says: dont touch the issue and you are worried about the moral/legal issues AND you are reasonable: leave.
That does it. Windows users have all the fun. This is just another sign that Linux will never, ever gain widespread acceptance. And that fabled Year of the Linux Desktop? Keep dreaming guys. I'm dumping Bubuntu Linux XP and moving to Windows. See you around suckers.
Hi! It looks like you're trying to run more than two applications, which is currently not allowed! Would you like to:
- shoot yourself in the other foot (you brought this upon yourself in the first place) - throw a chair at the nearest bystander - do the monkey dance while yelling "applications applications applications!" - write an internal memo whining about your new netbook not being able to do actual work
I put Eeebuntu on my sister's 701 EEE PC (the first generation model with only 4 Gb of solid state storage, 512 Mb RAM, and a 900 Mhz celeron castrated to run at 600+ Mhz only).
After running apt-get a few times and tweaking some files in/etc i ended up with a netbook that is an excellent unix workstation comparable to most other desktop systems out there. Hell, it even runs compiz as smoothly as a baby's behind -- out of the box and with no configuration required. To get wireless working all i had to do was create an entry associating it with our home router.
Occasionally when i borrow my sister's EEE to play around with it, i usually have a bunch of xterms and firefox open with a good number of tabs. I also start audacious or xmms. Even with a typical "desktop load" like that i get great performance from such an underpowered machine. My sister is completely happy with her netbook.
With a very loud set of speakers blaring at your drives, you'd do very well to step out of the room and close the door securely before shouting. Since most machine rooms i've been in were soundproof, i can't help but ask the question,
If you yell at your disk array but are not there to hear it, do you make a sound?
Under Linux their dual processor motherboards were fast and problem free...under windows well that's another story...blue screen of death would make an appearance every now and then.
It's possible the blue screens were indicative of problems or quirks in the motherboard that Linux had workarounds for and that Windows did not.

What does it matter if all notebooks nowadays come from probably the same Chinese factory anyway?
What is this "Romeo and Juliet" you speak of?
They killed the Xserve! You bastards!
I'll be sure to keep on the lookout for that email. Meanwhile, are you the one who keeps sending me email about my small penis?
Great site with lots of pics of old OS user interfaces: http://toastytech.com/guis/
1. leave
2. whistleblow to BSA
3. ???
4. Profit!
You better fucking pray they don't go looking for 'Hot [animal of choice]'.
If nobody AT ALL compiled W32.Downadup.C, by my calculations we should never see this worm in the wild. That IS the filename of the source, right? ;-p
Nope. Vegetable oil is composed of triglycerides, not hydrocarbons.
My guess is they also shut down all Windows servers and are busy migrating to LAMP. :-)
I hear they're bigger than jeebus.
My sources tell me a recently leaked internal memo from microsoft spoke of a "top executive" recently "buying a 2 million dollar email machine."

Beyond my comprehension; anyone have an explanation?
It's just marketing-speak.
Sounds like the system came down with a bad cough. I still remember the time i horked badly... :-p
The switches were running Windows 7 Starter Edition. http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/02/09/1348255

True. That's why i always do a "make install-strip."
Oh wait, this is Windows. Carry on.
(Yes, i know Visual Studio has a "release" build target that strips debug symbols. Don't tase me bro.)

And the X.org foundation people respectfully request that you don't refer to it as X Windows.

I imagine this would make good sweatsuit material. Not that the current ones aren't already effective...
Hey buddy! How are you doing? Oh hey, mind if i cut in here?
That's sad. I was planning to run it on my T800.
