    To get movies working on windows, you can usually either buy some software to play it(no one dos this) or you can install the free bundle with A LOT of what best can be described as doggy stuff that you rely want to stay away from :p Mplayer is by far the best way to view movies, and intalation has been simplified a lot since the first time I installed it.... I think I did one search on google, added one install source in yast(yes, I dont use Ubuntu but OpenSuse) and I could select it and evry codec I needed with a click of a button :p

    You don't need a specific vendor tec to stop spam. If you ISP dos their job, they should stop almost all your spam. I myself got a spam today, and I actually laughed at it since I coulden't remember when I got the last one :p

    I do sell hosting and email services and I do expect the day to come when Microsoft and Google will be strong competitors, even tho I think the 1$ a month hosting companies will start bleed customers first, it's cold day in hell when I turn customers over to either of em voluntarily. After all, the smaller companies really do have to do it better it they want to succeed :p

    Totally off topic, but that site was hilarious!!!!! Recommend having a look :p
    Teasers:

    Fact File: What is a Kernel? This component is used for typing in simple commands like "dir" and "more". Windows has a component called "cmd.exe" which serves a similar purpose but comes with better commands. Windows programmers often use a modern graphical user interface in preference to a kernel, however Linux users do not have this luxuary.

    Fact File: What is source code? Old computer programs were distributed as source-code on magnetic tape. This is an obsolete way to distribute software that was used before the availablity of the more convenient "Binary" format. Even today, some programs (such as those written by GNU) are released as source code only. Perversely, this is to prevent the software from being used outside the fraternity of computer hackers.

  9. Re:The trouble is on Extrasolar Planet Could Harbor Life · · Score: 1

    I believe that when the earth was brand new, rotation time was only about 6 hoers but it was later slowed down by drag from the moon. Since life o cured along time ago when earth was spinning faster, we must conclude that rotation time is not significant to creation of life. Whether or not the absence of day/night cycle is important is another matter entirely.

    I apologize for not finding any references to early earth spin time.

  13. Re:prelude to a newer world order on Russia Accused of Cyber-War Against Estonia · · Score: 1

    That is an interesting and utterly scaring thought to have pro Russia countries within both NATO and EU. That could effectively prevent those organization from tacking action against an aggressive Russian government.

    You are correct when you say the article is flawed, but not because all will get in line with us copyright laws, but because us sits that dos the same thing are not stopped. As a mater of fact, one of your largest internet companies, Google, basically provides much of the same functionality if you choose to search for only torrent files.....

  16. Re:Under the PATRIOT Act... on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One of the larger problems with a drill like this as I see it, is that you rely cant prepare for it. You can tell the kids what to generally do in such a situation, but as no incident will be alike, it is very hard. With a fire drill, it is simple, evacuate the building using designated escape routes, if they for some reason are blocked you can discover that and select another route. Whereas in the event of a gunman in the hallway, if your escape route could very well be shooting at you befor you realize its a hinder. What happens during a drill where th students dos the smart thing and jumps from the 3. floor to get away? Bottom line is; if these drill where to be preformed, they NEED to be drills made out by someone who has some clue of what they are doing, which I severely doubt your general teacher do in this situation.

  19. Re:Nice on AMD Promises Open Source Graphics Drivers · · Score: 1

    I think you forget a few really important element in your equation. 1. 5 years ago, linux where not as mature on the desktop as it is to day. I could, in fact, be a pain in the arse to get working even if you knew what to do. 2. 5 years a go, ppl where not so tiers of windows as they are to day. I think the lack of games on linux, is the nr 1. reason ppl still keep windows on their computer. I believe that is you could by a version of wow that ran on all the major distributions out of the box(and spent a few dimes mareding it so ppl knew it existed), it would be enough to shift a significant amount of users from windows to linux.

    It should also be pointed out that in order to be reliable any wikipedia article should point to several none wikipedia sites confirming the facts in the article.
