I use joe every day for typing out my journal. I get frusterated with vi, probably because I don't want to RTFM and I like how easy and notepad cloneish joe is.
Photoshop I agree, Xine and Mplayer I find faster and just as easy as WMP (though quicktime and asf/wmv are sometimes a pain). Printer support has seriously never been a problem. Before I got my samsung ML1750 laser printer (full gui linux monitor/driver) I went through many inkjet printers and never had trouble in linux with CUPS. Setup was easy in mandrake.
One shouldn't switch until they feel comfortable though, it should be a desire for linux migration not a push by zealots like me =>
How many distributions of windows XP are there for different companies?
From my experience and my dad/mom/grandma's as well installing programs is not that hard when one uses your distro's packages. If you want to run things without a package for that particular distro then you may run into trouble, I fail to see how this is different from trying to get a win95 program to install in XP, sometimes it works sometimes it does not. Windows is also not immune from what you describe as evidenced by the fact I needed.net to install a program just last week.
I have a task for you, update your entire system with one command (no windows update doesn't count updating windows is not your entire system). Then you can come back and post about how Linux program management is a crock.
and I would REALLY like to be able to playback my legally purchased itunes songs on my only computer with speakers, which happens to run Linux.
There will NEVER be uncrackable protection, EVER. Sorry to burst your one click install bubble.
Buy the cd and download the unrestricted mp3's.
Or just donate directly to the artist if you can, or buy some merchandise from their website.
I was pissed when I bought my 10GB iPod and was unable to use iTunes in Canada.
I'd get the latest ATI driver and install it. I have had problems with slowdowns twice before on my dads mandrake system (9000pro) default install and upgrade. Both times reinstalling the driver helped.
My mom and grandma both run fedora since all they do is use firefox and evolution and frozen bubble it all works out.
My dad uses mandrake 9 and even goes so far as to play dvd's heh.
Since I migrated them from windows 98 to linux I've had ZERO, thats right ZERO calls when something is wrong with the computer. I now only get calls about how to do more things, like my grandma would like to burn cd's with k3b/me faints.
You still do not understand what he was saying obviously.
Where is the a version of windows that comes the amount of good software a linux distro does?
BY. DEFAULT.
No, going out and spending a few hundred dollars on software for windows doesn't count.
Scenario 4a: Media Conglomerates in sued for price fixing but nothing changes at all and media conglomerate blames low sales on piracy instead of high prices and shitty music.

/. is more of an ION-Cannon
The solution is to not work the overtime, companies with servers and work machines down will be suprisingly responsive to "bonuses".
Today is my birthday, this is just another win in a good day for me.
They are when you treat them that way, which is why I agree with you 100%.
significative?

are you really a talking goat? You spell like it.
Thats right We're Jaques
MythBusters on the discovery channel. Peeing on an electric fence does didly squat.
and yours is where? It took so little googling that you produced not one link?
so every pair of speakers is run for a few hours at the factory before being packaged and sent out? not bloody likely.
nope, he did not say it exactly in the voyage home. Close but no cigar. Watch it again and see.

exactly. You could also take your horse and buggy and go out in the countryside and use amateur radio to your hearts content.

The used REAL power and not that solar shit we use nowadays because the public is misinformed by extreme environmentalist groups.
OH COME ON MODERATORS!! That was a great subtle Star Trek First Contact reference and deserves a +5 funneh!
Independant artists deserve support of course but mainstream != bad.
It'd be foolish to ignore music you like just because some asshole company has a stranglehold on the artist.
