Its obvious to me that Bush and his asslickers are on a powertrip of propostrous dimensions..
Attacking everyone who does not do as HE says and now add surveillance of the average man?...
I hope and I wish for christmas, that bush goes to visit some of his own factory of mass destruction weapons.. and that he gets eaten alive.. preferrably very slowly.. by some american engineered bugs..
K.. I already stopped buying music CD's cos I will not tolerate theft of my user rights.. When i buy something I have FULL ACCESS TO IT.. (dvd's you know..!!) It's lame to like buy a CD and not have the right to play track 7.. or buy a book but u must not read pages 108-131 or we'll sue your ass and eat you for breakfast!
I had a 8000$ Music System.. i played a copyprotected cd and it blew up several components of it totally nearly 3000$ in damage.. and yes.. I HAVE SUED!
I still buy DVD's but the instance home theatrecomponents blow up due to BAD DISC's.. it will be DivX and SVCD DVDR from here on out..
k with all the overprized dvd's and musiccd's and sub-par quality..and theft of MY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER I really couldnt give a fucking fluke to how bad or nice it is.. they play hardball and xpect ppl to bend nicely.. nope.. aint happening..
I cant belive we're still not over this "what came first, chicken or the egg" problem.. i mean its OBVIOUS that the EGG came first.... THere has to be a CHICKEN to be given the name CHICKEN or it would just be called EGG.... the first to be called a CHICKEN was already in the egg.. but since thers always evolution EVERY generation of something the.. thing.. that laid the egg that contained the first chicken.. was NOT a chicken.. due to evolution inside the egg that resulted in the first chicken.. therefore.. "What laid the first egg that contained the first chicken... was NOT a chicken.... but when the first chicken was given the name CHICKEN.. the egg automatically becomes wat came first because even tho it had not yet gotten the name CHICKEN.. it was still in the egg.. therefore.. the EGG CAME FIRST"!!!
Its easy.. EGG FIRST..EGG FIRST..EGG FIRST.. its now proven!

for me theres a few issues that keeps me to windows.. im a long time slackware user.. its been setup and doesnt require much maintenance.. Lets face it.. linux IS primarily a ServerOS.. sure it CAN be used as a desktop but its at least in its present state..not very good at that.... tried like 8 distros including all the "popular" ones..
1. the GUI xFree 86 that everyone uses.. downright suxx.. its poorly acellerated unless u happen to be one of the lucky ones. its missing support for a lot.. its cumbersome and downright ugly.. no windows ISNT beautiful.. but its heaps and bounds above KDE and GNOME and similar.. besides theres more complete skinning tools for windows..
2.Linux is FIDDLY.. i mean sure NOW u can do a lot of stuff using a GUI for it but theres still a LOT to be done thats just too fiddly for someone like me who prefers to USE the os rather than spend time recompilin kernels and stuff. And dont try and tell me cos i use Slack and not RedHat.. RH can be just as fiddly to deal with.
As long as u have to recompile stuff and etc and all the linuxdistros isnt 100% compltely compatible with eachother.. i mean most soft for one CAN be made to work in anotehr but often requires.. fiddling.. and lots of it too sometimes...
3.lack of software... i mean sure theres a lot of software for linux.. but theres not a lot of the HIGHEND one.. its started to drip.. but until i can like write my OWN.. theres just not enough and not the few ones that i do need..like photoshop.. yayaya i know.. ive tried GIMP.. but it just doesnt cut it.. doesnt even come remotely close.. and then theres ofcourse.. the games..
4. the linux community.. i fucking hate the linux community... its gotten better the past 2 years especially but theres still to many of the RTFM and PISS OFF and +ban on IRC for xample..people.. theres a lot of linuxians with a really faggot arse attitude and that makes me hate linux cos I have to "deal" with ppl like that..
5.Finding out how to do stuff on linux is a bigger problem than windows.. look around internet for help on windows.. theres tons..ask on IRC.. theres tons..and u get it all in teaspoon size steps.. Try to find help on linux.. and u run into the same problem as you do with the built in documentation.. look on the internet. theres LOADS.. but like the documentation its not exactly written in a easy way to understand a lot of the time unless your already a hard-core linuxian geek and neither is whatever help you find online.. and if u go on IRC theres those RTFM and PISS OFF and +ban people again I do my best to avoid..
I guess in the end.. its the ppl with attitude that bugs me the most.. those that put you down because you use windows, like your some lower form of intelligence.. -(that is btw the actual definition of rasism, not that people have a diffrent skin color but that they are thought of as inferior beings due to some diffrent between them and "you" like being black.. or blond girl.. or a windows user)- that refuses to see and even CONSIDER thinking that Linux may not be the best in all and every situation... that tell you to RTFM just because you ask them something THEY may know very well. but you may not.. now i KNOW linux quite well, I dont need those people anymore so thats fine for me, but i constantly keep running into people who have tried or is trying to get to grips with linux, who isnt used to a commandline interface and doesnt neccesarily understand how a command with arguments work (no it ISNT that easy for all to understand a helpline that says "command filename.prfx -d/R/s/w/t/g [R/E/W/Q/P/J] -out outputfilename.prfx" or similar and is having to deal with those people again and it just makes me angry..
I'll belive this the day we're invaded by flying diapers from outer space.!
As far as being a region2 person the general lower quality of R2 dvds and less extra material.(check the audio on the R2 and R1 dvd of LOTR its HORRIBLE!!) delayed releasedates etc, and that movies hit the cinema here often months after the USA, is the NUMBER ONE reason for dlling movies from the internet, I for one am sick and tired of being discriminated against just because I dont live in the land of PATRIOT/DMCA acts, dumbass powerhungry world leaders wich support the death penalty and claim to belive in god..and more double standards than the rest of the world combined!!
The movie and music industry in its present form deserves everything they get, and more.
Geesh ppl.. ONE bad experience and Sharp goes permanently bad?... I remeber my Sharp MZ720 computer in 1982.. COOOOOOOOOL!..
Neway.. didnt this get/....ed.. a few of days ago?
theres still no REAL replacement for a floppy available..everything else needs some form of driver.. bios enabled cd-mrw drives maybe that doesnt need ANY external drivers may be one way to go but there will still be pc's that doesnt have that for years to come so the floppy is gonna be around for at LEAST 5 years..
