Seems a number of local bands I know are making a decent living, but it's not quite Gene Simmons type stuff. The difference is that the system you support has a few HUGE stars, and no one actually works for a living. The one I'm a fan of has musicians actually playing music to make money, just like all of us having to work to make money, day in and day out. You do your job well, entertain people, and they will reward you. If not, learn how long to leave the fries in before they burn. It's a self-adjusting system, and works pretty well on the whole.
Yes. But even a controlled hole, like putting clear/cello/scotch tape on the balloon before puncturing it, you still have a lot of very high-pressure gas escaping very quickly, causing not necessarily good effects in the immediate vicinity. Think rocket engine if the tank is strong enough, otherwise, think kablooie (like a balloon without the tape)
Records of what, meteorite impacts? That have obscured other meteorite impacts? That as a whole, over the surface of the moon, just created a pretty much even distribution of impacts, so much so that studying one location is the same as studying almost any other location, not to mention that this is of very limited value anyway? Take a statistics course, kid.
And moving pictures aren't possible, faster than sound travel will make your vehicle disintegrate, all kinds of fun things that are impossible! Don't fall victim to these hoaxes!
You can either have your advertising subsidized Windows crapware, or you pay a bit more for the hardware. Why do you want to have your cake AND want to eat it? It doesn't work that way.
I think a lot of your problem may be that you're using Windows 98. I use Linux myself, but I don't think Linux with a 2.1/2.2 kernel would play DVD's that well in the first place.
Why is it that the mouth-breathers who can't spell always think reinstalling your operating system regularly is a perfectly acceptable thing? Upgrade, sure. Try something new? Why not. But reinstalling because the system is designed so poorly that it gets unstable after just USING it?
Give ya a hint junior, Microsoft ENCOURAGES people to use the registry to store program data.
Give ya another hint: when I change my motherboard, CPU, ANYTHING in my computer, my operating system doesn't complain. It just loads the correct drivers, and keeps on keepin' on.
What you people experience isn't normal, nor is it good. It's just what you've been conditioned to believe is The One True Way.
Here I was all smug living in the west thinking I was pretty immune to most natural disasters that you people on the coasts and in tornado alley set yourselves up for...
And it's that "It's our way or the highway" attitude that is driving off users. Too much choice can be a bad thing, but making anything useful impossible to do, and doing it shoddily at that? That's just bad programming AND design.
Linus was more making a point of how broken Gnome is from the development practices up into the code, rather than trying to make more than a trivial contribution.
I just bought a notebook, so I'm not in the market, but if Dell had had a performance notebook that shipped with Linux when I was shopping, I'd have bought it. Does that mean my vote doesn't count?
Businesses buy Dell because Dell is a well-known name. That's pretty much what it is. And if you hope to get Linux in your business, it better come from an approved vendor.
Says you. I don't shop there, my parents don't shop there, nor do most of my friends. We'll go out of our way to go to a Target or some other place that gives us at least fashionable cheaply made crap, instead of just cheap cheaply made crap. And Target's wares really aren't that bad.

Well, at least cars blowing up when their tank is shot with a bullet will be realistic now, even if there isn't a fireball...
Wonder what will run the auxiliary things we expect, like radios, etc.? An air-powered alternator?

Your google-fu needs work

Try buying machines from Dell/HP/IBM's business divisions rather than the consumer PC's. They tend to be much leaner on the crapware.
You're right, you don't know Linux that well. You can configure it to explode as easily as you can do with Windows, possibly even easier.
I think a lot of your problem may be that you're using Windows 98. I use Linux myself, but I don't think Linux with a 2.1/2.2 kernel would play DVD's that well in the first place.
Assuming you already have a Mac. If not, the Mac Mini's start right about what the GP said.

Ok... so what were they doing the other 4 years of development when they weren't making the GUI all shiny and the start menu unusable?
Too bad your ancestors didn't die out when they said the same thing about the discovery of fire...
Here I was all smug living in the west thinking I was pretty immune to most natural disasters that you people on the coasts and in tornado alley set yourselves up for...
Dude, no
(Yes, I know the song is from Avenue Q... it's still a funny video)
Feel free to do your part for all this and turn off the gas and electric feeds to your home.

Ban mining! Let the bastards freeze in the dark!
(Apologies to the people who came up with that first)
Except that XGL is a whole second X server. AIGLX + KDE + Beryl (or Compiz if you swing that way) on the other hand... mmm...

There's lots of other neat software out there (see the sig)
