there are a bunch of other incidental things that take up an adults time, like cooking, cleaning, paying bills, not to mention that most 40 hour a week salaried jobs are more than 40 hours a week worked.
Man, those long-hairs in the 60's could delete information so much more efficiently. I'm totally jealous.
I am a Linux user myself at home, and trying to get it worked into the corporate strategy, but I can guarantee you that they weren't "more productive" when each application required reconfiguring for specific hardware, you had slower communications, and no graphical capabilities. No GUI is great for filling out forms with text, but for other office-style tasks, it's much harder for the average user.
Yes. But desired, structured information is much easier to filter out than obtrusive information. The plugins and such that firefox has rarely get in the way of actual browsing and information retrieval. I get rid of them if they do. And tabs are a "space", like multiple windows. They each have their own sub-identity that's useful for information organization and reading. Hell, I pop up the replies in a separate tab so I don't lose my place when reading in Slashdot. The way they make these ads make you read around them though, and guess what the actual content is and what's an ad, as well as blinking and being distracting.
Cute link, btw.
But the CPU being cheap is the point. Not everyone wants to set up their own cluster, but lots of people could use a cluster periodically, and would do so more often if it was relatively cheap. Sun is basically catering to them.
I mean, a small-ish game developer could pre-compute a lot of data on the grid without having to invest in their own hardware and expertise and time for a less-capable solution, all kinds of things really.
I agree with you. Mortal Kombat was a great game, but it's a one-off. It was interesting because it was new and different in addition to being gory. Then everyone got on the bandwagon and the wheels fell off. The same thing has happened with FPS's of late. It'll all cycle as people only buy the games they actually like.
A nation of project managers has no actual knowledge, just an overview of it. And some people just aren't good at managing... are we going to send them overseas to work?
Why does it have to be plausible? I like when I can jump from pad to pad in Q3, firing the railgun and not get the kickback from it, but the guy who gets hit by it does.
We're just moving more into a place where things act more like you'd think they should. Shoot the lock on the door, and it'll open up. Shoot the metal door, and it'll ricochet. Take out the critical support for the building, and it'll all come down. Too bad if you needed to be in there... try again. I think it's great.
I rather think it is you who doesn't understand it. Instead of the telephone companies all colluding to lock others out of their market, and the cable companies doing the same, we now have two networks going to nearly every home, both competing to provide the same services. I know Comcast and Qwest here in Colorado both tout how much better their service is than their competitors, and my connection speed keeps going up for the same price every month. Competition is good.
Alt+shift+tab cycles you the other way in Windows. The terminal app, yes. Not like cmd has ever been a full-featured CLI, or Windows has been designed around a GUI rather than text. Other than that, you seem pretty much right. I still prefer Linux to Windows or OSX, though.
Please, learn the difference between "your" and "you're"
It only makes you sound like a retarded muppet when you mix those up consistently.
I apologize to any retarded muppets I may have offended when comparing parent to you.
You're just as locked out of Windows if it's bootloader fails. I've never once had a problem with grub in the MBR on a multitude of systems, and most people don't. I have had a problem with the NTLDR, though. Does that mean that Windows must then suck, and not be at all good for new users?
Better yet, what did you do with the bootloader to make it fail? Did you try to configure something offbeat? Did you submit a bug report? Or did you just come and bitch on/. about things not working exactly as they do in Windows?
Ubuntu HAS excluded mp3, though. You have to open up other, international repositories and install libraries before getting mp3 support. Most American-based distros are afraid of being sued for supporting copyright/patent infringing technology, so they don't do it. This is especially true with high-profile things like mp3.

Quick and dirty: the kernel.org kernels aren't "stable" like you're wanting. Get a kernel from your distro if you want a stable kernel. If you want bleeding edge stuff (they call it bleeding edge for a reason), then be prepared for those kinds of problems.
Just because POSIX is A standard doesn't mean it's a GOOD one. Linux adheres to it pretty well in many cases, but sometimes it just doesn't make sense. Linux has never been beholden to any standards, and that's one of it's main strengths.
Relating to people is like a game;) Learn the rules, get slapped a few times. You have more "lives" as long as you don't piss off her 6' , 250lb boyfriend
Then again, this is a pretty empty complaint as KDE could do the same thing...
Dance around in a tutu and videotape it to get attention, too. The difference is that I have self-respect, as do the KDE developers.
Clusters of servers... processing and disk space still cost money, though. And MS software is completely unable to be stripped down to only necessary services and still function correctly. They won't get much penetration into markets where the customers actually know what a price to performance ratio is, and demand a good one.
The living room is the next computing center:) They want the XBox to be the center of all your media needs, they're just taking it one step at a time. And hopefully, it'll fail at every step. I use the shit the foist on the rest of the world... I don't want it in my home as well.
It started in the 60's where people started preaching that all we needed was love, and that feelings are the most important thing in the world. That opened things up to people who don't care, but can put on a good face.

I think the suggested that, by turning off Active Scripting. RTFA.

Did you have a link to that, or at least somewhere to point me? I didn't know (and scarcely believe) that MS 'invented' AJAX.
