It's not that i'm dual booting, but i'm dual computing. I have a desktop that I have dedicated to linux and use primarily. However, my programming classes have required I use.net on occasion. Rather than dual boot, I had gotten a laptop a while ago for this purpose. (I know not everyone can, I happened to have something work out just right for this to be the case).
Knowing the difficulties linux CAN be on laptops, i've chosen to leave it XP only, and simply replace as much as I can.
The thing I miss the most, now, is a good, USEFUL term. XP's command terminal just doesn't cut it. At all. Oh well, that's why I have linux on the other box:)
Is it wrong that I prefer to use OpenOffice over MS office in XP when I have to use my laptop? Or that i'd prefer to use fluxbox (I know, I know, it's not right now, but think outside the lil box for a second) instead of that horrible gui that XP uses?
I don't know about the rest of the implications, but I know the more I can replace of MS on XP with stuff I like to use in linux, the happier I am to use my laptop with XP on it.
Perhaps I should have stated this differently. I'm unhappy with the trend of trying to make everything into on single gadget. I'm against mobos with everything built in, cell phones with cameras, pdas with cell phones. I don't believe my parent post is troll "worthy", but whatever. Apparently these days thinking different from the mob constitutes as being a troll.
I'm so damned sick of all these stupid gadgets. I want a cell phone to be a cell phone. A computer to be a computer. wtf, quit limiting my product choices by throwing them all into one.
What is really so bad with slacking, or procrastinating? What is so great about getting something done right away? I'm no scientist or a study in psychology, but could there perhaps be a reason, a very valid reason, we slack and procrastinate? Perhaps it helps keep us sane?
I, for one, do not want to live in a world where slacking and procrastinating are eliminated by a pill.

In that case I stand, rather obviously, corrected and looking like a fool. I have made it a policy NOT to mod. Along with that, I don't know the modding rules, so I apologize for that aspect of my post. Everything else I say stands. Not like it matters. I love talking to myself. woooooooooo

an obvious troll? Read it, and have a sense of humor. I'd venture to say it's humorous far more than a troll. And it's also fairly obvious to me, that you are the sap that modded him as a troll. (EDITORS NOTE: I am not the writer of the mentioned "troll" post)
As with all things in this life, even mod points are dangerous in the wrong hands.
I highly doubt SCO will say anything but positive about it, considering microsoft has contributed so much money to both SCO and Sun. Infact, i'd go so far as to say that MS has a very heavy hand in both companies now. SCO and Sun will never complain about anything the other does with that common controller holding them down.
