Well in my last 2 years of fixing computers for people I've come across directories that filled with all manor of pornography on four separate systems.
Each one had a hidden FTP server installed and was an Fserve on IRC.
These computers belonged to people that would never be interested in that sort of thing. Even then the chances that they set up an FTP server like that, and an fserve no less, would be incredibly slim.
Once again we are plagued with stories originating from this so called "Western Australia".
As an Australian I am probably most aware of the myth of Western Australia, for those of you not in the know I'll lay it out for you.
Have you ever been to Western Australia? No you haven't, have you ever met anyone who is from Western Australia? No, I didn't think so. Seriously ask around your office, no one has been there.
Sure you hear about it in the news (such as the article) but finding good hard evidence of its existence just isn't possible. Why you ask?
Because Western Australia doesn't exist.
Think about it. The supposed state is massive, too large to practically be governed by one single state government. Furthermore it is conveniently placed about as far away as possible from any other people, people who could verify its existence.
As far as I can tell the whole myth of WA started as an inside joke between cartographers. Soon many other professionals, publishers, politicians, journalists, photographers etc. took notice and they all created their own versions of the joke. Together they created a vast tapestry of "evidence" of its existence and culture. Over the years this myth grew and the various versions merged together. Today many people just assume the state exists.
A good repository of false evidence can be found here. Unfortunately some people are so convinced of this preposterous notion they relentlessly revert my many edits to the site.
Think about it people! A black swan? That doesn't make any sense at all, swans are white not black.
OPEN YOUR EYES SHEEPLE!!
My brother worked for a large electronic company in Australia. He was the one in charge of distributing laptops and computers to the rest of the company. After the annual review they found they were down a few laptops. As these laptops had never gone out to the staff it was clear that they had either not been delivered originally, were taken from the store room or behind some boxes somewhere gathering dust. The store room staff searched high and low for them for about a day with no luck. As they were packing up to go home one of them said they should check ebay as a joke.
Sure enough the missing laptops were there, and the sellers previous sales showed a number of other laptops that were standard builds for the company.
The police were quite pleased to have an open and shut case given to them.
You were rude to everyone in the thread, and most likely had a pirated version of windows to begin with (no install CDs)
In your above steps you say that you downloaded a CD image and burnt it then a few steps later it turns out you don't have a burner. How the hell did you burn it in the first place
Here's a tip, it is very useful to know what version of windows you were running. The steps to fix the install are different if you had Windows 98 or Windows XP.
I swear every time Slashdot posts anything about Ubuntu you rock up and tell the same story. I'm sorry but the reason you didn't get any help was because you are a dick and you didn't provide anyone with any helpful information.
Perhaps because these lists don't really differentiate between the two. For all we know all those really bad sex offenders could be in gaol and it's only the "18 year olds that have sex with their 17 year old girlfriends".
None of that really matters to the linch mob though.
If they are saying they aren't going to start suing Novell with this deal, doesn't that imply that they could sue everyone anyway?
And if so then what is the harm of them saying they won't sue Novell. After all if they can sue Linux vendors anyway what does one agreement with one company change?
I love spamgourmet. What I like to do is actually include the name of the site as the keyword. It gives you a great idea of who is selling your addresses.

I think I speak for the rest of the world when I say 'How the fuck long is the Declaration of Independence?"
Moonshell will read text files and play movies. It is compatable with most, if not all, flash card devices.
Thats why we all have to keep wraps on this idea. Don't tell anyone. It's much like Usenet, don't talk about it and everyone in the know benefits.

I don't know how it works in America but where I live most Engineers must do at least a year of work placement as part of their degree.
The 12 to 14 year old age group has an entirely different favorite past time, but I don't think their too public about it.
I can understand English and whatever language New Zealanders speak, do I count as bilingual?
:P

+1 Taking it too far.

Before you mod this guy down note that he isn't being a tool. He is just parsing the GP's comment using boolean logic, and is therefore correct.
It's hooked up to my personal suicide machine.

Wouldn't it be better to have a .kid domain name. And only give that to sites are are deemed suitable to be viewed by kids?
God damn, stop trolling Ubuntu threads you tool!
Your claims are demonstratively false.

Experts Exchange is well known for its well written, bug free and easy-to-read code samples. You should give it a try!

Could someone explain to me, in simple terms, how this effects anything I have anything to do with?
I use Ubuntu, why should this matter to me? If the Ubuntu folks don't like what Novell is doing can't they just ignore whatever Novell is doing?
Everyone is acting like this is the end of Linux as we know it. Honestly could someone explain why this is?
Just off the top of my head here is one:

Hello allofmp3.kz, or allofmp3.vu, or even allofmp3.va
That last one would be great, I doubt even the US would have the balls to go after that government.
