Besides, even if I was an incompetent technician, noticing diffferences in speeds of computers does not take a genius to see "well gosh, after clicking this button, this computer takes longer to load my Interweb on this one!"
I mean n00b as a general insult, not just calling you "new" or "fresh".
Yes, I am a best buy tech, but don't let that fool you -- I actuality know a thing or two about computers, thank you.
As to the "smart one who stays in the back" comment -- you could say that. I am that one tech that the gremlins come to for the "hard stuff" that needs to be worked on (You know, like when DDR ram won't fit into the SDRAM slot or When you need to use multimeter). I'm not just some moron that best buy tends to pick up off the street that just says "Your computer is slow? You need more ram!" to every customer, please.
Don't judge me because my kind (best buy techs) are always looked upon as idiots. Although, I honestly would tend to agree with that fact. Most best buy techs are idiots. I do know more than the average "upgrade bench" technician needs to know. I am actuality a technician, not a salesperson. I write tools that I need to my job.
In any case, eMachines makes computers that out-of-the-box are a hell of a lot better than most any other brand we carry (in terms of windows setup)
I work as a best buy tech and see hundreds of eMachines go out of my store.
eMachines do the best job of not screwing up Windows. A hell of a lot better than HP or COMPAQ.
If you could only see a Pentium 4 HP/Compaq (stock XP install) vs an eMachine (again, stock XP install) with nearly identical specs, you would be BLOWN AWAY by how much quicker the eMachines is.
because gnomes haven't developed them yet. As always, they will brush each and every one of the projects off as a "quick and dirty hack" and useless. 6 months later, they'll catch on that it's a good idea and make it the "correct" way (in C) and then will talk about how primitive KDE's innovations are compared to theirs.
Now that the fileselector is improved, what will you bitch about now?
umm.... how about inconsistency between GNOME apps (at least in look and feel)?
in any case, the new file selector looks pretty, and it's a great step for gnome, I think. I haven't tried gnome since 2.2 (gentoo user -- don't want to take time and compile it), but IF this makes 2.6 it'll be worth the CPU cycles.
one of my only complaints is contrary to your liking of the inferface. I wnat a progress bar like TiVO [=========|====-----] you all know what I mean. Also, My unit often needs a software reset which is annoying.
If you bought a $500 device in the States, wouldn't you have to pay taxes (duty) AGAIN when your brought it up to canada? And aren't your guys' taxes near %20 as it is? (see where I am going with this one?)
QT is sooooo much nicer to devleop for tahn wxWindows in my opinion. I will be soo glad when te Windows version because GPL -- if ever. mmm cross platform....mmm..
Oh please! Okay, you tell me where you can get aborted fetuses for seventy cents on the dollar? You tell me, Chuck? Yeah, I didn't think so -- you know, I'm just like the fetuses, Chuck. I wasn't born yesterday, either. Uh huh... so are you gonna talk to me, or are we just gonna keep bullshitting each other? Breakin' my balls, Chuck.

Yes, hello, is this Captain Bly's Seafood Restaurant? Yeah, hi, I've got a shipment of about thrity-one of the most succulent shrimp from the West Indies. These are killer shrimp, Gary, your customers are gonna love 'em. What kind of price you payin' for shrimp? Oh, Gary, you're breakin' my balls, Gary. How about ten and a quarter?...Balls, Gary. Breakin' 'em. Alright, I'll call you back
I have the same keyboard
try runnin ghits if you have a repeat rate problem
# kbdrate -r250 -d30
i have KDE set to bump up my repeat, so that takes care of that.
Could a manufacturer change that whole ATI blip about "we reccommend using ATI blah blah..." to "We reccomend using GNU/Linux..." with a little tux logo?
This is a not-for-profit thing, right? Isn't it Microsoft, isn't it?
Yeah, us gentooers patch teh hell out of our plain jane vanilla kernels...

what do you consider a patch? the whole source? If you don't understand ebuild, this one means it ONLY downloads the bz2. It compiles perfectly with gcc 3.x series
You all talk about a hacker nuking ssh and some lady browsing the web with FireBird. That's all small 'taters. If you really want to see Linux in a movie check this out. Oh yes.
and that's exactly what it means... it's jsut a "K" -- it doesn't mean anything. we never even thought that Kool would be an appropriate way to name our desktops [[shifty paranoideyes]]</kde zealot>
Why don't we not say the pledge at all in schools? Honestly, it's taught entirely too young for a child to understand. I said this thing hundreds of times without questioning it's meaning, never giving it a thought. When I was0 old enough to wonder the meaning, I asked a responsible adult figure to explain it to me. So I'm basically saying I'm following this country and it's people evey morning for what reason now? And i've been saying this oath for HOW many years without knowing it's meaning? I say get rid of the thing. Kids don't need to drone this sacred "oath" every morning -- especailly when they don't even have a clue what it means.

Most of my games are franchise games
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (gamecube)
Metroid Prime
for Origiality the best game this year is
Viewtiful Joe
For years past (but I still play)
Pikmin
It's a sequel srivien market -- I like the 3d-ifications of all my retro games (When done well) Prince of persia is highly reccomended.
look at that. naked and drinking beer. huh.

well if the "error" dialog reads
"Thank you, come again!"
It might just be too comical to even try and get work done.
Could a manufacturer change that whole ATI blip about "we reccommend using ATI blah blah..." to "We reccomend using GNU/Linux..." with a little tux logo? This is a not-for-profit thing, right? Isn't it Microsoft, isn't it?

You all talk about a hacker nuking ssh and some lady browsing the web with FireBird. That's all small 'taters. If you really want to see Linux in a movie check this out. Oh yes.
and Apple couldn't have done it without the help of KDE and the whole OSS commuinity.
