Wrong. The price of free is too often beat by the prices of "I am used to this" and "I am afraid to learn new stuff". That's why people who would be perfectly served by Free software cling to Windows and MS-Office nonetheless.
A modern but lean operating system, that is what your uncle needs: time to introduce him to Linux! For example, my friend's brand new i3 laptop running Win7 feels much slower than the modest C2D with Mint I'm using right now.
The trash can is fine, but the desktop should go. One thing I liked about Ubuntu Netbook Remix was precisely that: they turned the desktop into an app launcher, rather than a place to save anything. I'd love to shove that interface down the throats of some lusers in the family -- save all their crap on the desktop, I bet you all know people like that. A system without a desktop would force lusers to keep things tidy, hopefully.
Catholicism =/= Christianity. It just pretends to be.
In a sense, it really is. As a sociopolitical entity, a "corporation" so to say, Catholicism is "core" Christianity, the original one, while Protestantism is a "spin-off".
Not that I believe in either, or any religion at all...
Chinese Democracy cost around $14 millions, and Duke Nukem Forever cost up to $30 millions. Now, while Chinese Democracy is the most expensive record ever, DNF is not even in the top 10. So I'd say Chinese Democracy was far more wasteful (but still a damn good album).
Then the portable videotape was invented in 1982 (VHS-C and Betacam), and that eliminated the delay of film development.
But the U-Matic cassete was introduced in 1969, it was compact enough, the quality was good enough, and networks certainly used it. But they kept doing the "film at 11" thing, I assume, simply because audiences were used to it.

Accentuation fuckups are usually text encoding errors, not typos.
He denies ever saying that, mind you. See here.
Since "app" is short for application, you can say apps have been in vogue since the EDSAC was built, in 1949.
And I deem patents shameful.
I won't touch Chrome as long as it has that horrible interface that looks completely alien in any operating system.

They likely are trained in people-screwing techniques...
Weren't they evolved humans? Anyway, it was still a retarded ending.
I don't care what you say about Linux - just spell it correctly.
Apple's OS/X
Uh...
About the only thing OSX really offers over windows is the fact that it's a unix
That, and an interface that does not suck. Seriously, interface-wise, I'd take System 7 over Windows 7.
Windows users are used to it.
True, but in case you need that, there are some Classic emulator: Sheepshaver, Basilisk, vMac, and Executor.
Someone SHOULD put a gun to their heads. And be willing to pull the trigger.
Are they Italian?

That's what you get for buying LCD rather than plasma!

How about restoring said parts to the way they SHOULD be? Circumcision reversal, here we go!

I see he tested it with an Xbox controller. Well duh, any FPS feels less interesting without the proper control system: keyboard+mouse.

The first time I heard that "film at 11" thing, I thought they meant airing a movie at 11 PM.
Yo dawg, I heard you like cars so we put a car in your car so you can drive while you drive.
When a computer demigod says it is a software glitch that he can reproduce repeatedly and consistently, YOU BETTER LISTEN!
