I can't stand the default install on any off-the-shelf computer Get yourself a mac and it will actually be in a useful state to build upon when you get it. No crapware, no ads, no huge glaring security issues, even if you decide to connect the machine to a network.
Really. How much more shame must the windows brand endure before we take it off our keyboards? It's not like the paint on the key is required to run windows.
When you have the repair done by mail, they are unbelievably efficient. New parts, in my experience of about 4 repairs over 5 years and 3 machines, tend to ARRIVE the day after you call. Repairs are typically back in a couple of days.
And for most things short of a full computer replacement (for example, new mouse, new battery), they'll send you a new one and ask you to just send the old one back. And again, it arrives the next day.
Aside from them dropping "phone support" from the 91st day through the end of the 1 year coverage period, I could not ask for more.
No, not having homework doesn't do anything to "keep kids from getting stoned". But neither does having homework, and for that matter, cannabis doesn't do anything to keep kids from doing homework. For many ADD kids, it actually does a lot to improve their abitily to do homework. And it's a hell of a lot safer pharmacologically than ritalin, dexedrine, and all other common ADD meds.
I reiterate that you are not alone in your frustration. You didn't fail to adopt Linux, Linux didn't fail to meet your needs, it was the entire community and their business practices that failed you. No, it was Microsoft that failed her, not the 'entire community'. Linux people work hard all the time to integrate, and they don't always sell it.
Microsoft is the problem. They keep their 'standards' unstable to prevent linux (and others) from adapting.
They seriously need to figure out that, when someone buys a game system, we want to PLAY GAMES ON IT. We don't need to watch movies, listen to MP3s, view images, surf the web, do our dishes, and drive to work using the same machine. Ahh but mostly likely when Sony's people asked people if they would use those extra features if they put them in there, those people said yes. So Sony did that, both the with the PSP and now the PS3.
And then consumers whined. "They cost too much"
and then Sony said, "But you told us you wanted those features when we asked you about them so we put them in there. You had to know that would raise the price." BIG difference between wanting a feature and being willing to use it if it's there anyway. Sony had to know they had no business asking about the extra features if they couldn't do them cheap or free. Now they are stuck having to wait a little longer for everyone to buy PS3s. Waaaaaah.
It is time not because of prices, but because it was not done right the first time. Microsoft needs a smack-down just as bush did. Now that the democrats have taken control, it's time for them to revisit EVERY mistake that congress was coerced into making. If congress could just undo half the damage done over the last 6 years, that would be better than anything they could do on new issues.
look, i know there are be other kinds / colors.. but at least 99% of all the diamonds i've seen in my life have been the white / transparent kind -- if they want to impress people with how exactly the same their synthetic diamonds are, maybe they should have some in their galleries that actually look even remotely like the diamonds we're used to.
I check lots of gallery images (which don't have previews and reload the damn page for each image) and didn't see one that looked like a diamond. WTF, those are way off the diamond grading scale for clarity. It's like you got them out of a cracker jack box.
Ok, so you don't have birdsmack occuring at your place, but you say it's heavily shielded, in addition to the rapid field drop-off.
Sure no one sees birds being confused by kitcheen magnets, but they rarely fly right next to them to catch the full 100-250 Gauss. It's plausibly related, if true. On the other hand, maybe the wall they hit is painted to look like the sky.
No it's not, last time I checked, high-rise buildings also tend to have ground-level floors. You can drive into those with today's cars. I don't recommend it tho.

In the meantime, enjoy martyrdom.

What is with windows users that they are willing to take all this crap and keep paying for it??

It is not worth it. If the last one is not beyond the realm of comprehension for you, how could the other options even be options?
Josh Wolf, in doing what he can to preserve freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, is a hero.
More people must stand up for what they believe in. So far, we've got Josh and Lt. Watada. Who's next?
never forget how paranoid and fearful our mentally challenged public servants have become.
The only thing they use to fight fear is fear itself.
It's government that has the power, not him.

It's infinity. A concept we are all already familiar with.
Think about it.
> it's called greed and exploitation?
Is it greed and exploitation and such a bad thing to you when non-homeless people get jobs?
WTF.

Oh my, well golly, diebold's feelings are much more important than the integrity of our elections.
Thanks, I didn't see that. Still, I'd have thought they'd put a white diamond first in their gallery.
reading over that it's not clear enough - I'm talking about these galleries.

Look, man, I love my mac.. but even I won't take it THAT far.
Besides, they don't have a port for that yet.

HP wants to charge $15 for 5ml of black ink (92 is the "serial" for the ink) for the printer I just got.
What the hell?
