I'm just sayin'...I love Linux, Man. I'm with ya. But I haven't run it in quite some time due to the hoops I have to go through to get my wifi working only to have an update break it...using the same module.:(
Peer (sorry) pressure:
Comcast: "Okay, we're going to put in caps and metering! Agreed?"
AT&T: "You go first! We're right behind ya!"
Comast: "No, cuz we wil then you won't!"
AT&T: "Yes we will, we promise!"
Kid 1: "Okay, I'll jump if you jump!"
Kid 2: "You first!"
Kid 1: "No, cuz I'll jump and you won't!"
Kid 2: "Yes I will, I promise!"
No. This means there another X server thrown into the mix. Superior? Probably. Will it matter? Not likely. It's simply another piece of code to be debated and which will stave off Linux on the Desktop another 5 years.
The great thing about collaboration is that people can all contribute to a multitude of projects. The bad thing is that there's a multitude of projects.
Speaking of thermometers, didn't a researcher recently find that many of the devices used in California, for instance, to measure temperature were in places like hot tarmacs at airports and next to A/C compressors outside buildings? Yeah, I'll take "human induced" global warming more seriously when grant-hungry research teams stop padding the odds.
Easy now. That kinda talk will get you pushed back to the far recesses of conversation. Dissenting views are rarely tolerated where global warming is involved.
Yeah, I can't wait until they rip out all of the Stallion COM port boards from our data center and put in those new-fangled switches and routers! Boy, we's gonna be uppity!
"pirates prefer Windows XP over Vista and Office 2003 over 2007"
It's true! Samoli pirates admit had they not been using XP they likely would never have been able to board the Ukrainian ship, let alone seize control!
As much as I am loath to say this, I seriously doubt Microsoft has to worry about Google-apps. Corp-America is not going to go Google-apps. But mind you, they WILL worry. Because Microsoft is so fucking egotistical as a company they can't envision anyone having something successful besides them. It pisses them off, esp. Balmer. They just can't accept that they should stick to what they're good at (were good?). If they put as much effort into making Windows better it WOULD be. They chased the search market in vain and the mp3 player in vain. They're a spoiled company that thinks they should have it because they want it. Microsoft never innovates. They copy or buy. They usually fail at copying. The XBox is a noted example of something they copied and succeeded at gaining market. Keep at it, MS! Pursue! The more money you waste on shit like online apps the more that won't go into Windows! Which is fine. The world would be better off if more people would move on to another OS.
Slashdot Mirror
Well if you are going to post my comments go fuck yourselves. FUCK slashdot!
Isn't the idea that they BE posted?
Wouldn't pr0n constitute a complimentary image? Cuz I gotta tell ya with the right pr0n nearly everything around it disappears.
Though I haven't tried the new Ubuntu, the previous version didn't initialize the wifi card on my Dell D620. It recognized it but wouldn't fire it up.
Half the country standing in direct contrast to the other. We're no more united than ever and Obama hardly waged a campaign on unity.

I'll remember that when Linux fails to ID my laptop's wifi adapter and the guy in #linuxhelp tells me, "Dude, I dunno...mine works!"

k..then stop complaining that no one knows how superior Linux is except a bunch of coders and geeks.
It feels good to go with the masses. The masses once thought the Earth was flat. They were considered experts too.

No thanks. I cannot accept anything as fact that's backed by the U.N.

Someone sign a deal with Microsoft? Limit the stock, pump the numbers, sounds like standard "embrace and extend" play.
Really? What's the MacIntel OS based on? Or is the kernel new?
What we need are tips to AVOIDING election coverage. This year is going to suck either way. I'm thinking drunken stupor!
The thought of people registering to vote through an XBox is frightening.
But the thought that most such voters will be too caught up in GTA to actually leave the house makes me feel much better!
Where can I get the MacIntel OS?
Yeah, take this graph seriously...
Exactly! And I refer to my comment being modded "Troll" as a great example of the intolerance for dissenting views.

It was a joke.

Microsoft copycat with the Xbox?
In terms of following a market.

Until Android is on other phones by other providers it's ostensibly just another phone.
