  1. This appears to be NO different than RH9 on Ignalum Linux - A Bridge to Windows? · · Score: 0

    Its using anaconda to install, and bluecurve for the desktop. i guess its using wine for the win stuff.
    Ignalum = RH9 once you check it all out, they have just taken out the RH icons.
    What we NEED is a stable yet up to date distro that can use RPM and DEB packages.

  4. well... on Shifting From P2P To Stream Ripping · · Score: -1

    this again is an example of what NOT to post.
    because other sites pick stuff up, etc.. and things get noticed, bittorrent may have been a viable source for alot longer if only people spread the word to friends and so on, rather than posting for the whole world to see, so thanks to the jackass that put in the post, because now all the online radio streams are going to get pushed out too.

  7. Re:GNOME catching up to Windows... on GNOME 2.6 Reviewed · · Score: -1

    Ok, so you see when your connection drops in XP, how long has linux been able to stop and restart its network connection (say to make a change) and how long has windows been able to? how many times do you have to reboot when installing things in windows vs linux? hmmmmm, who is catching up on who? Windows for games, linux for games AND work.
    its not rocket surgery.

  10. Really, lets look at the big picture here on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: -1

    Yes, Linux is far more stable than windows.
    Windows for most people is the easiest to use (games, printing etc...)
    If it wasnt for windows, i for one dont know if the whole computer world would be as far as it is now. Windows, or rather peoples hate for it, has PUSHED linux farther and quite fast. If we would be this far ahead w/out windows, come on now, it would be mac's, and not that they are bad, but you KNOW a mac would be well over 8k in price, you KNOW this, come on and admit it. So really why bitch about windows vs linux? Linux is taking over the server market as we can call see, its snowballing, and MS was so sure of them selves for so long, now they cant stop it no matter how hard they try. So be thankful that POS(not point of sale) OS came along to give us all jobs, and the morons that come with the windows PCs that need help fixing them :)

    As off topic as this may be,(in your sig) the words "taxpayer" and "citizen of the united states of america" dont really belong together, sub taxpayer with resident, sure. Atleast be open to the idea, with all the word trickery they use in things like "the patriot act" and so forth, they have been doing it for years in the tax codes.

  19. What I want to know... on Lawsuit Filed Against Unregulated GloFish · · Score: 0

    is why the government thinks it has to meddle in EVERYTHING, we dont need them to do anything but run the government, ie. keep our country safe from terrorists (see my sig) and mediate in matters when absolutly nessecary. thats it. we dont need welfare and all the other government JUNK thats out there.
    Like ben franklin said to a woman who asked him what type of government we have, he said "a limited republic, if you can keep it" well it looks like we have already lost it.

    go ahead, look up what a "limited republic" should be.

  21. EP2 book on Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Rumors · · Score: 0

    "I'm sorry but I'm just sick of George Lucas raping my fond childhood memories of the first 3 Star Wars movies, and my wallet. Isn't it enough that he's created 2 incredibly bad movies in a row?"

    #1 we all knew they wouldnt be AS good, its more informational than action. Leading up to the original tillogy.

    #2 Anakin cant act. thats a lucas tradition that the leading actor cant act (in the star wars series)

    #3 Yes, the movies were not as good as people wanted, but i read the book for EP2, and i think you should too, it was fantastic, and filled in all the gaps the movie left out.

    the problem with the movie for EP2 for example is, they left out things from the book they shouldnt have, and put things in that could have been left out to make room for the good stuff.

    is if he created movies for the new jedi order series, the books are killer, and while ep 7 8 and 9 books are great, the story for the new ones are better, but so many books would take what, 15 movies? and luke leia and han are about the right age to do them. i cant see 7 8 9 w/out the original people but the last trillogy is only 5 years after ROTJ.
