Is it that obvious?? Thank you for being mature in your reply, that is pretty refreshing. I am not quite a noob, but alas I am not quite an expert either. In my limited experience, Mandrake is the absolute best flavor for beginners, it comes with most of the things that they are accustomed to from the win32 world, like word processing, email, and web surfing. and gnome is a little too clunky for most users tastes. Your comment did seem a little anti-noob, and yes a vast majority of linux users are assholes towards noobs, I am glad I know a few who are not, I guess that includes yourself now, it is just that many have an elitist I'm better than you attitude, when it is for the greater good to win more converts. Debian is a more advanced OS than say, Mandrake, or Suse, or even red hat, but from what I hear, once you get apt-get, you never go back. Take care, I may just drop you a line if I have any questions.
This is one of the main reasons that GNU/Linux is so slow to grow. The condescending attitudes of people like you. What did you start off using? debian? suse? or did you just write your own flavor. jesus man, thats why people are so scared to try it out, because if they ask a question of SOME people, they get laughed at and made to feel stupid, and get stuck. Maybe these "newbies" just want their system to
just work
maybe they dont want to compile everything, maybe they are just converts that want to email websurf and do light gaming. Give people a little slack. Just a thought.
We all know that the old-style model of the internet is broken, websites are unable to rely on banner ads and (ick) pop-ups anymore pay the bills. My question to you then is this, how do you believe the future of the web will be, will it be that every website will just have a donation box, or will they all make you pay a subscription fee like is now happening with some of the bigger websites? Or do you see a third answer, sponsorship, whether corporate or by a bigger website that can already pay the bills?
why go to the website, it is not fully integrated, usually I just go to the storefront at the local mall, ask whoever is there "hey you got so and so game used yet", takes about 3 seconds, no shipping and handling, and you get to talk to, gasp, real people. I prefer to talk to real people sometimes, yes real people, as opposed to fake people, I realize now how stupid that sounds.
why do such a thing, how would that look to the corporate bigwigs when they walk into your server room, and see a ridiculous-looking contraption with blinking lights and windows and sound responsive leds......well I will tell you, they will think that it is wicked awesome
how surprisingly refreshing to see a judge doing his damn job, rather than caving to the political winds of whatever the current administration advocates
what I do is wait a month or so, go to Funco (I refuse to call it Gamestop), and just buy the game used, you save lots of money, and for the cost of just a few rental for a really awesome game, you can own it and enjoy it again and again. seems to me like the logical thing to do.
Is it just me, or should not the implied poor service be the main focus of Pet's Warehouse's concern right about now? As a BUSINESS they should be more concerned about pleasing their customers, rather than what "BOB2469" has to say about them in a board somewhere. I mean, they are in business to make money, and if they are not, should'nt they be?
Will you marry me, Mrs. Lofgren, just kidding, but seriously, it is nice to see that some politicians are actually spending the time to pay attention to shit rather than try to just say "everything digital should have copy protection', coughhollingscough, lets hope our "friends" in Washington take this approach toward our freedoms.
The phrase "Come on, people." happens to be a sentence fragment. This is the/. message boards, not Harvard School of Law, the internet has always been a pretty casual environment, basically, if you know what someone means, it doesnt matter if they write like a Rhodes Scholar, or a layman. Lighten up a little, you will find yourself with lower blood pressure, and chicks will dig you.

why does kerberos just seem kinda worthless?
What the flaming fuck does kerberos do anyway?

to echo one of my friends sentiments, there needs to be a new /. moderation, "tru dat", its ok, i get like that if i dont have enough code red
Dude, let us just not get nitpicky, we don't need thread nazis on the /. message boards

given the current state of the USPTO, I would not be surprised by it in the least.
