  1. Re:Newbies don't need Linux... on GrokDoc Goes Live; All GNU/Linux Newbies Welcome · · Score: 1

    There should be discussions specific to each distro or window-manager.

    Did you actually look at the site?

    There *are* seperate pages for different distros and different programs.

  2. Re:Good. on Few Takers For Microsoft's Settlement Cash · · Score: 2, Interesting
    If you have a choice between $250 and free and you still choose to pay then maybe there's something wrong with the free choice.

    Or maybe you don't realised that you've got a choice?

    A lot of people who buy computers just go to PC World (or wherever) who only supply machines preinstalled with Windows, and they don't know that other OSes exist.

    And most people who do own PCs don't know you can get a refund on your pre-installed copy of Windows if you don't use it, either.

  3. Re:TV isn't worth it anymore on You're Watching Less TV · · Score: 1

    As university students, my fiance and I can't afford a TV license (we live in the UK). We've barely watched TV for 7 years & 3 years respectively.

    Our college accommodation has ethernet, and the college library has free DVD lending. Why would we want TV?

    I sometimes miss seeing sports on TV, but generally the BBC radio commentary is pretty good, and I certainly don't miss the adverts.

  4. CF Roswell? on Concerning The Cancellation of Futurama · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe we should all agree the day to send the letters to fox? That's what the Roswell guys did, we'll have to see if that works. But, the idea of having all the letters arrive all at once so they look all the more impressive strikes me as quite a nifty one :)
