He didn't bash products at all, maybe you were blinded by irrational anger. Happens to me in traffic sometimes. He simply stated that he avoids Microsoft products, no reason given. By not buying an Xbox, he "won't be involved with M$ in any way". I see no bashing.
The majority of women should wear "No, I won't **** your ****" tee shirts. At least the cold fish would be obvious and geeks wouldn't waste precious hardware cash buying them drinks.
Is a different OS viable with these? I guess linux hardware support is much better than it was 2 or 3 years ago, so maybe it's a good idea. I'd hate to buy a little lunch box like this and have some piece of hardware on it not recognized/working in linux. Pretty standard stuff inside right?
Probably because you didn't click the 20 other links to other clips by other people. I nearly dismissed it too, but the point has been made: people want their Farscape.
There are actually some decent looking chicks, shocker, I know.
Yeah this thing is great! Since it's running XP you'll get full DCMA restrictions. I bet this whore won't play mp3's it didn't rip, movies it didn't record or missing region encoding, etc. More crap from microsoft.

I always knew ants loved apples, but not this kind.

Sorry but I thought someone would beat me to this for sure.
Yeah actually there is. It's a bitch to compile because it has a million dependencies, but once you get it up and running it works fairly well. Called Gdam, geoff and dave's audio mixer. Check it out at http://gdam.ffem.org/
Another reason I like to run Mandrake on my servers. Mandrake is pretty thorough about security and checking their code, and the mirrors give my md5 checksummed rpms so I know they're all authentic.
Granted, there have been one or two rpms that have had security warnings issued and new rpms have appeared nearly immediately, but AFAIK nothing has been trojaned like this.
Actually 'rogue nation' is a valid diplomatic/governmental term. Sure, it may sound childish after hearing it on CNN for the 8 millionth time, but it's still a valid descriptor of nations who either don't have a stable, recognized government in place, or who choose to ignore UN and other requests for various things. Being rogueish means doing your own thing (like plotting against your neighbors and stockpiling biochemical weapons) and not really giving 2 shits about what anyone says.
Quiz the nations bordering or within striking distance of a tactical nuke if they'd trust Iraq, North Korea, or any other rogue nation if they want that country to possess nuclear arms. I doubt you'll get a "yessir, that's a fine idea" out of anyone. We tend to be somewhat responsible with nukes in the US while other countries with nothing to lose don't really give a shit about Mutually Assured Destruction. The fact that we lit a pair off when the technology was new says nothing about what we've not done since that time.
Hypocracy and government are as tightly entwined as Calvin and Hobbes. Whatever country you live in, no matter where it is, I can guarantee that your government doesn't shine very brightly under the light of scrutiny. Everyone's guilty of something, and no government is perfect. Strong nationalism on the public's part can lead to denial which generates the 'idea' that their government is perfect and everything's dandy, yet the reality remains in striking contrast.
Yeah, but without Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we wouldn't have a million Anime epics depicting massive destruction via a mushroom cloud or the ever-popular white semi-sphere of death.
You gotta wonder just how deeply ingrained those bombings are in the current Japanese collective unconcious.
Yeah, he's that punk-ass that used to play Urban Terror using OGC to wallhack and autofire/autoaim. I think he went by |raped-your-ass| or something like that.
Choice brother, remember that? It's the reason people switched to linux and sought it out in the first place.
I use gnome's terminal, eterm, and konsole...they're all pretty much the same to me. The others aren't there because I did an expert install. It doesn't take an expert to do the expert install btw, just gives you more flexibility and the user's ability to seriously fuxor something up is minimal.
At any rate, I don't fully understand Mandrake's rational on their 'recommended' package selection, but then again, I never see it.
Well, some people like to build 3 machines with the exact same motherboard/hardware. If that's the case, it doesn't surprise me at all.
Nobody, anywhere, is 100% guaranteed that ANY distro will work on their hardware. You're a member of the shady 5% club, no matter what you try on your box distro X will not install or work right.
No, she didn't do a base install, she clicked Recommended. Rec gives you tons of crap you'll never use (depending on your tastes of course). The Mandrake installer is extremely flexible and it satisfies/removes dependencies on the fly. It's called 'expert install'.
A base install, with X, weighs in at about...oh...64 megs or so.
If she had just clicked the Expert install button instead of the Retard install button, she would've gotten everything she wanted and nothing she didn't.
She did make two good points I agreed with though. The first, that Mandrake needs to port it's config tools to QT if KDE is the 'default' WM. The GTK tools really do clash with KDE. The second, that it takes forever for the system to log you in. In 8.2 it was BAM you're in, in 9 it's like...ok..check if your plants are watered...done.
Solution? Stop using Windows, or reset your mime-types (right click-open with-remember this bla bla) to have cooledit or notepad open doc files. If you don't use Word that often you won't miss it.
" But what is there that takes the place of "Crayola Castle Construction Set"?"
Uhm, let's focus on important, must-have apps first. Crap like some Crayola Castle is extremely irrelevant, the office and graphic apps need to come first. The corporate market must be conquered and the trickle-down effect will convert millions of home users. The whole reason why people got windows and home pc's in the first place was so that they could take their work home with them. Let's not lose sight of that.

something about rubbing the area between the battery compartment and the side of the laptop
That would be the Aladdin's Lamp hotfix.

Sorry kids, this isn't linux, this is Lindows, the bastardized closed-source cousin to Windows.

Stupid moderators, it was a joke.
Go get some sleep.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!
Oh..wait, nevermind.
Ooooh! KDE 2.2.2 *and* a $99 price tag? Does it come with kernel 2.2 also? What an up-to-date, strikingly new distro at a fair price.
Blargh. I'll take my cash elsewhere. If I wanted old stuff like 2.2.2 I'd be running mandrake 7.

I thought it had some connection to Cryptonomicon and Enoch Root.
