Why is it that if it's a communist state doing something it's bad and when it's not it's good.
It's seems that the wording in the description highlights that it's a communist state that removes it, and not a democratic one. When the real point is that and Indian state is trying to remove it...
I read somewhere that the yonah actually had 64-bit extensions, but intel didnt advertise it. and there was the whole discussion about it being strange that intel would advertise it.. google it perhaps
come one! they don't even have genitals! have anyone seen the sex scene in team america it's NO worse than that one! and since they're puppets it's apparently ok....
Funny. What has starkly been demonstrated in the last year is that it has to do with socialist despots who aquire farms and destroy infrastructure in the name of equality. Zimbabwe has gone from exporting food to begging for food in 5 years thanks for corrupt government.
yes, they destroy things, because that's what socialists do, those dirty communists.
Well. Eye-candy, Eye-Schmandy... One of the biggest problems with windows is the ui-scalability and font sizes. It's hard to see out of these screenshots if the UI scales well or not. Try buying a LCD screen with a resolution of 1280x1024 and have old people look at it (old people being 40+ ofc). They don't see crap. And then most people go: "Just turn up the font size, stupid!"
But one of the problems with windows is that it looks sonasty with non-original font sizes, the checkboxes grow and get ugly and everything looks mis-aligned. Also the "Window text" (not sure if that's right, i'm on kde now, so can't confirm) or something can't be turned up at all... Scalable gui's have been in games for ages now, Like the menus in Quake3 always look the same, only sharper at higher resses, not unreadable like Windows'.
wasn't there a case about this? telling ms they weren't allowed to make clauses that gave financial gains to companies that would not ship with other OS's?
I agree that Dell pushing linux as the main OS and Windows as an expensive addon would be better. However it's very unlikely.
Even if, for example, DELL started offering Linux as an alternative, most people would probably stick with what they know, MS Windows. Sure, the market share of Linux would increase, but I don't think it would be widely used by your average consumer.
Well, that little market share increase would be in the newbie/inexperienced/regular joe sector.
If like one inexperienced guy could get a linux alternative from a "trusted" source like Dell and then being able to tell his friends it suddenly is main-stream. It's a whole lot diffrent then a newbie which has gotten linux pushed on him by his geek friend (read: me).That user will think he's using a hard to use OS, while if Dell sold it to him, he'll think of it as an alternative. AND he'd probably have support.
We'd all like to think that quality == success, but luck seems to be the real player.
It applies often, but Linux nowadays won't go under because of bad luck, even though it might get more support because of good luck.
"Luck" as you use it here is buisnesses not taking a certain aspect of something into account. Like weather, reviewers and timing.
Linux won't be worried untill GNU/Linux reaches a point where it's userfriendly AND compatible enough that a big OEM decide to have it as an option or to include it in their computers for free.
Imagine DELL suddenly shipping with KDE or something. If only a few percent of the customers buy it linux will double it's market share in a few months! Just think of the word of mouth marketing when someone tells a friend, "I bought this computer at Dell and saved $200 when choosing something called Linux/Openoffice instead of Windows/MSOffice!
IT WILL BE A REVOLUTION! GLOOOOORIOUS!!;)
A little "sensational" this post.

I believe you when you say this, but I don't think it's "mystical" in the sense. I have no trouble believing that you can use your brain to generate heat in certain places. My belief is that this probably is the nervous system somehow... Like an electrical spike in your body, or your body telling the cells to just generate heat, not the blood pumping.

that's long before god created everything?
No alcohol allowed?!?
Worst. President. Ever.
Extreme torture is depicted by real actors in films like Saw III and The Hostel, this should also be illegal than.
Oh man! Both the look of the robot and the intro is just like an episode of Macgyver!

Yes, I sent some internets here friday, and I didn't get it untill sunday!
Tab saving really borks with Tab Mix Plus though... Doesn't really work :/

I'm not buying this!
are there any videos of this available?
Well, if you are a bookstore you shouldn't be able to sell a book, except a few pages of it that you don't agree with!

give me a break!
The real clue here is who bought them... because it might be Dr. Evil, and that's just as bad!

Oh, also I like your cape with the text "This cape has no function, and serves decorative purposes only".
