For all laptops that I've ever seen (except tablets) 1) folding the screen backwards so that it's parallel to the desk (if it can go parallel to the desk.. I've only ever seen that in Dell's) will cause it to push on the hinges as the parent to you complained, and 2) if you put the screen upside down with the keyboard furthest away, you'll end up not being balanced and it'll fall back on to the keyboard. Maybe there's some ancient laptops that break this rule, but I highly doubt it.
No, no.. he meant the other version of "Owned" i.e. "You got Owned because I'm a wannabe 1337 script kiddy who's too old to do it right and say you got pwnd so I assume that it means Owned instead of Pawn-ed". That's effin agist!:`( -- note the tear on poor smiley mans cheek (butt cheek). People so old they feel a need to properly gramaticize and spell things are teh people too!
Or possibly more branches may indicate a cleaner or more modular kernel. You would have to time a million of each system call for each platform, comparing the amount of time the system calls for required operation A takes in one platform to the other.
most are based in countries that do not force the website operator to cooperate.
For example in Canada, this is a privacy issue, and we are protected from it as such.
In Finland, haha... computer security laws.
As a US citizen, if you were to use a torrent site in Finland, you wouldn't have a problem unless your ISP is sniffing your traffick, or you are stupid enough to allow IPs from one of the many blacklisted IP lists to connect to you.
There's two broadband ISPs in my city - one ADSL, one Cable - on either, using the proper sources, I can get nearly any movie I want within an hour or two.
So that movie I don't feel like paying 20$ for to see at a theatre (After considering the cost of snacks and the ticket) turns in to me downloading it while I'd otherwise be waiting for it to start - me and all my friends -each- save 20$. And it's still playing on a projector. We can be as loud as we want, laugh as loud as we want, and get as drunk as we want. Liberties we don't have otherwise.
I won't bother to mention sites, but especially some members-only torrent sites that force you to have a "Respectable" share ratio work well.
Arghh this flame war between you two is driving me nuts.
First of all, it's not difficult for Dell to add additional options, because each option is merely an item number that's added to the final invoice.
I.e. does the user want windows? yes, then add item number A for with media, B for without media, if no, then don't add that invoice number. Same for all the other options
But if you really want to know what's pointless about this discussion, check out any Dell computer who's model number ends in the letter N. The 'N' stands for NO OS. It ships with a FreeDOS disk which you have to install yourself.
Umm, Ubuntu is based off of Debian.. in addition to that, how is it such a great accomplishment that a distro does a great job of supporting LaTeX? They can all work pretty much the same with it. Save the distro wars for somewhere else..eesh
Anyways, my suggestion is to give a live CD a try. If you want to take your system from computer to computer and have it work flawlessly between boots (plus making it ultra easy to install apps that don't come on the live CD) then give a Live USB a try. There are many distros mostly based off of Debian for this. I recommend to check out linuxonusb.com since they make it easy to choose a distro. DSL-N's homepage is pretty good too - both give you the ability to buy a USB drive preloaded with a bootable linux partition at about the same cost as a regular USB drive, and they both claim to directly support the community.
not to mention what I was trying to find an online record of (but failed to) - a police brutality video somebody filmed on his or her cell phone on Whyte Ave here in Edmonton after an Edmonton Oiler's win during the playoffs.. the cop ended up being suspended I believe.
Wow it hurts my head to read what you type, as this is all that I see:
You, sir, are a moron.
I will quote to you from my post: I [have] complained about (Strikeout)bad(/strikeout)[poor] grammar making a post unreadable
(Strikeout)So(/strikeout) The only dolt here is yourself. I could care less about the rules of proper grammar for their own sake (which is (strikeout)pretty much(/strikeout) opposite to the definition of a grammar nazi).

(Strikeout)but(/strikeout) Mashing (strikeout)the(/strikeout) words together in such a way that there is (strikeout)just(/strikeout) no coherence severely compounds (strikeout)the(/strikeout) this problem.

Apparently "Submission title" is a noun, and "But" is a proper beginning to a sentance.
Do not grammar nazi if you can not hold your own. Apparently people with good grammar can easily be correct by those with proper grammar.
P.s. I'm not claiming to have superior grammar, merely kicking this unit for being a dolt. Somebody should mod this post (my own) and the parent as flamebait - I know I would have if I didn't feel like responding instead. WOoooo Flame wars! Reminds me of my BBS days.
yeah, if you purchase a dimension instead of an optiplex.. but you can still ask for one at purchase time, or by calling tech support later on being all "ooh I don't have CDs, help!"
nah it reconnected seconds later.. but I find it suprising that an application attempting to use standard network protocol tactics to spoof IP addresses could bring down either my wireless NIC or my wireless router even temporarily

Yes, but does it run linux?

Good luck to the poster
You can get a USB drive preloaded with linux, and use it on any computer - no risk to your data.
websites like www.linuxonusb.com give you a good solution and promote the community... yellow dog linux also has this service.
the drives generally cost little more than a standard drive, and they do all the work for you.
Speak for your own city...
