    My photography is just a hobby. And my prints look great, i get them printed at the local photo processing center... $0.29 a print. I tried my inkjet printer but that was useless. And now instead of albums i get full-page printed professional photo albums, without the hassle of having to manually put them into slots/etc..

  16. it's called common sense on Linux Virus Alert · · Score: 1

    if you created a virus/worm would you target something that had a chance of infecting maybe 10% (*nix, mac, etc..) of all PCs, or would you create something that could possibly infect 60% (MS) of all PCs? (and don't give me BS about my numbers not adding to 100%, ya flamers... of course it won't infect everyone! and yes i pulled the numbers out of my ass)

    OBVIOUSLY you want to hit them where it hurts MOST, if i were to write viruses of course they would be targeted at MS (oh sorry M$ this is /. i forget sometimes) then i can say to all my buddies 'uh huh huh kewl dude i wiped out 10 million pcs hard drives this week'

    and yes i use both M$ and Linux, they both have their advantages and disadvantages
