She probably just liked the interface of The GIMP (big buttons, colourful) compared to the cramped, "compact" look of Photoshop. (Screen resolutions were smaller back then, and so were the buttons.)
Or when it comes out, the update manager icon should appear in your "tray". After installing all updates in the usual manner, a banner will come up that "a new release (Ubuntu 8.04) is available". Then it lets you see the release notes and does the upgrade process.
It might be a day or two after the official release date because your local mirror may need to be synced.
They redefined "shut down" as "go to sleep", and therefore redefined "startup" as "wake from sleep", and therefore managed to get it into something approaching 30 seconds.
That doesn't actually make much sense. The IMAP "move" operation is actually composed of:
1) Copy the e-mail from old to new folder 2) Mark the old one as deleted
Google doesn't say what happens when you tell your client to copy messages. They do say that deleting a message is like removing a label from the message.
So from this document, I assume that "move to folder" in IMAP actually applies a label, *and removes another label*.

No, it "kinda seems" like they randomly distribute user profiles between (dozens/hundreds/thousands) of mail stores and mail access points, and the software of each system is being upgraded seperately.
But if you want true authoritarian control with a "total branding experience"... look no further than the unmutable, unchangable Vista startup sound. "A spiritual side of the branding experience."!
Forget all the uses in hospitals, connections to massive amps that can deafen people, radio broadcasts, libraries and every other sane place on the planet. Vista wanted to unmute your audio channels and play this sound every time it starts up.
They caved in, but although you can turn the sound on or off, you can't set it to a different audio file. This creates a strange dichotomy in the configuration dialog, where there's a big scrollable list of all the sounds your computer might make, and you can set or clear each one. Then there's a random checkbox labelled "Play the Vista startup sound".
Of course, Apple does the same, but they put the sound in the BIOS. You need to download a shim to mute your sound when you shut down, and unmute your sound when you start up.
I look forward to missing the next iteration of absurd statements of control applied onto users by software makers.
Right-click on the button, Properties. Nope, that gives me the properties of the whole start bar and menu. Browse through, but it isn't there.
OK, I'm going to press the windows key and type "power". Nope, I need to search for "power" *inside* the Control Panel.
OK, windows key -> "control" -> search for "power". Aha! "Change what your power button does". FINALLY!
That's what my experience was. I'm not at a Vista computer right now (using a public XP computer, and using Ubuntu at home) so I can't reproduce it exactly. There may be some UAC in there.
Well, if you have a legitimate copy of Windows XP or even XP SP2, how are you going to get a new CD? You know, one with the last four years of drivers included? Oh yeah, you can't. Unless you create your own by slipstreaming which is probably more effort than it's worth.
I have here a legitimate copy of breezy/hoary/whatever. How am I going to get a new CD with all the latest hardware support? Well, I could download it from any working computer I have that also has a disc burner. I could install a just-about-working feisty (networking but not necessarily sound, graphics and other niceties) and then use that to download and burn a gutsy ISO. Or if I have a computer with a CD writer and another disc drive, I can keep the Live CD in one drive and write a CD using the other.
Or I could buy it from a slightly out-of-the-way location at a nominal cost, or get a free copy shipped in about 8 weeks.
So in other words, the legitimate comparison is "what you can easily get now to install XP" (i.e. your old discs) against "what you can easily get now to install ubuntu" (i.e. new discs from the internet)
That's with supply-driven economics. If I come and steal your ship (arr), and take it to the moon, along with a lot of other nasty pirates stealing ships, then the price of ships (on Earth) is going to rise because there are less of them available. (Similarly for shop-lifting.)
If I take a copy of a song, who loses? Well, if I take 1000 songs, maybe you could say that I would have bought a few albums if I couldn't get them for free. But actually, the labels don't need to compensate for those "lost profits". They're fat enough as it is, the artists *already* get next to nothing, and retailers such as Wal-Mart and Amazon mean that they can't keep the CD prices high. So in other words, the piracy has not lead to higher prices for discs.
For a very long time, the evidence has overwhelmingly pointed to her being "not liable" (that's the legal term for being "innocent" in a civil case). If the RIAA has any sense, they know that she didn't do it. So why were they pursuing her for so long? It isn't as thought they need the money.
The flaw is that transfer over gigabit ethernet takes massive amounts of CPU, far more than Linux on the same machine. Instead of reducing the CPU usage per packet, they decided to limit the number of packets per millisecond processed while audio was playing.
I thought that was Sergey Brin and Larry Page who managed to get in the news for a "$1" salary while simultaneously creating and selling millions of $ in stock.
It depends on your current CPU and hard disk. If you have a very old CPU and a slow hard disk, then no. If you have more recent hardware (which seems a bit unlikely on a DDR motherboard) then your RAM may be holding you back.
Yes, if your motherboard supports network boot and you have a computer to store the boot image and you are able to change the boot order of your computer.
It does notify the weaker party (user), but without giving them any time for them to leave.
e.g. when my bank changes its contract, it has to give me 30 days notification by post before the changes take place. Longer if the changes are to my disadvantage. Then, I can transfer my money elsewhere.
This is more like my bank prompting me about the new contract the next time I put my card in an ATM. "If you decline, your account will be closed and all the money will become inaccessible. You cannot withdraw money until you accept the new agreement."
(paraphrased) "If you do not accept these new terms... somebody else may register this e-mail address".
How practical is it to leave them when they decide to let their employees and "trusted third parties" snoop into your data? Somebody else can dive in and practically steal your identity. There's no time to prepare - you log in one day, and you can't access your data until you allow *them* to snoop your data, and maybe even retain your data after you close your account.
Hopefully any court would agree that a contract that can be changed unilaterally and without any previous warning is unconscionable.
It's up to the people who/use/ my list, such as employers, to determine the accuracy of the list, and whether they should use it for their purposes. I give no warranty and I have no liability of the information in the list.
You mean files and directories with the "Hidden" flag that you can set in Windows Explorer.
This is a driver that hooks into the part of the Windows API which an application such as Windows Explorer uses to ask "hey, what is there in (e.g.) C:\Program Files\?". Then if the directory in question is "C:\Windows\", it removes a certain directory from the list. However, if you know the name of the hidden directory, you can get there by typing its address into Windows Explorer directly.
That directory contains files used to protect the "security" of the USB stick.

I suspect your computer uses far more power than the latest mid-to-low-range Intel Core 2 Duo processors.
No, it isn't. Certainly they have some results but he's still an arrogant bastard who hasn't brought anything new to the table.
Nor is this 2,3 machine going to revolutionise science.
Ah yes, that was it. Repeat for every power plan you use.

OK, I'm going to configure this power button:

None of which is required for this.
How about not having a CD burner or blank disc, and it's also difficult to find good ISO burning apps?
