See, you highlight the quote, and paste it in google, and get your own citation. well his name is killjoy heheh, cant expect much from someone with that name
I own a Macbook Pro and a Ubuntu desktop. I have worked in the IT industry for over 10 years
I use the Apple software that came with the device and upgraded to 10.5. I purchase a game or two for the MacOS. Everything else is open source.
I have converted so many people to Ubuntu and open source. My family, my friends. My mother has mental problems so she has issues learning new things. She uses a Ubuntu laptop setup I configured just for her. She never has problems that she cannot figure out herself. I know if I put Windows on her computer.... oh thats just a nightmare to even think about!
I make everyone a deal. If they want me to work on their computer, I will do so for free but only to backup their files and install Ubuntu. I install Ubuntu and any program they want and ensure they all work or a linux version is installed. Any time the computer doesnt work, I will fix it, all for free.
Its amazing because I never have to help them after a week or two of using the new system.
Hendrix was a perfect guitarist. That's all I wanted to do as a kid. Play a guitar properly and jump around. But too many people got in the way.

I use both OSX and Ubuntu on my home computers. They both are excellent OS's. I use OSX more then Ubuntu though. Mainly this is because I use my MacBook Pro more then I use my desktop PC. I love the MacBook Pro so much so its hard to think outside the box.
haha PUN INTENDED!
Anyways I give both two thumbs up. OSX for Apple Hardware and Ubuntu for PC Hardware.
I watched something about this on PBS last night. They have supercomputers of the type that can do the job, even the ATT admin who reported all this stuff was saying it was impressive what they have in there.
When I worked at MS, Linux talk was akin to committing murder. I would not be suprized if he was canned because of some idle chit chat between staff about open-source software... well I was pretty much canned for it. I know I was given a bad review for talking about the merits of Linux and the problems Microsoft will have if they don't approach the situation differently. That bad review sealed my fate and I was forced out.
If you like any of the old Zelda games and you want to play Zelda in a new and fun way on the DS then this game is for you!
I think its the best DS game I have played so far. The game play is highly addictive and the story works great if you have been following the game for the last few installments then you will be right at home.
my wife has stopped play Uno via XBL because of the awful stuff that happens. The thing that sent her over the edge was some jerk masterbating into his webcam....
I live in Washington state and the reason this law was passed is because last year someone did indeed die because another drive was text messengering someone else. It caused a huge problem for everyone that drove on I5 in Seattle that day.
I support this law 100% and wish they would really put teeth into it and the cell phone ban while driving. Take someones license for a year and people will start to abide by it.
Great book.. Took me forever to read it though.
I would read a page take a day to think about it and then have to reread it just to make sure I understood that part. I would totally recommend it.
I have converted a few people, I just dont tell them its linux
Ubuntu 6.10 plus CrossoverOffice is almost perfect! So many web resources it can be a great solution for even the most novice user.
Even my mom understands it and she is mentally ill
"A 46 year-old Kirkland man accused of stalking his estranged wife by accessing her e-mail account and hiding a cellphone with a GPS-tracking feature inside her car has been sentenced after pleading guilty to a felony stalking charge."

This story still does not have an ending. My sister has started to be on lots of news shows so keep an eye out for it and you may see her even on Oprah
I thought I would give it a try a few months ago and I felt the same why I felt when I started to use Firefox for the first time. After a few hours I just couldn't go back to Windows XP.
After a week I wiped the WinXP partition off my computer and I haven't looked back since.
I have even talked my friends and family into giving it a try. So far I have converted 3 people and 2 or 3 more are using the live CD to try it out. I have tried a few different Linux flavors over the years but none of them clicked so well with me as Ubuntu has.

Thanks man! I needed a good laugh

In My Opinion Open-source took over a while ago
I wish there was a way to set my preference so I didnt see OFF TOPIC posts...
