Ease of use, just until you want to compile practically anything at all.
my Mandy 10.1 compiled out of the box nvidia kernel modules, latest k3b, qlo10k1 and heaps of other software. i think you have problem between chair and keyboard:-)
RTFA! its "5 percent of their global turnover each day" not 5 million. "...In its last fiscal year, the twelve months up to 22 July, 2004, Microsoft achieved revenues of $36.84bn the equivalent of around $100m dollars a day."
DOSEMU stands for DOS Emulation, and allows you to run DOS and many DOS programs, including many DPMI applications such as DOOM and Windows 3.1, under Linux.
DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X...
amen to that. Firefox without shitload of extensions (btw that gets broken now and then after Firefox gets updated) doesnt even stand close to Opera. with extensions its closer but not even:-P
Opera is very powerful browser for power users. iLoveIt:-)
Opera rocks! using it from version 5 on win to 7.54 on mandrake:-) Firefox don't even stand close. mail, notes, links, irc, info... in one small package. and fast. small memory print. while there is REAL concurrency closed source rocks too:-)
it is slower. but i can use Opera with all settings, bookmarks, mail, notes, contacts, history intact. no need for exporting all that and importing on win box. and when monitor is repaired importing back again...
But who uses remote X or VNC anyway? Right now best unix remote interface is CLI and that is it. What for you need to login to X remotly anyway? Tu run web browser? You can run it localy.
real example: on my to internet connected Mandrake box died monitor. so i'm running vncserver on it. i'm posting this through TightVNC Viewer from my WinXP box in the same room. until i get new monitor or repair broken - VNC is priceless.
a 'disturbing trend" i have noticed is that the human population
is literally getting stupider everyday.
1) a informed individual that is aware of the ramifications of
reproducing, opts to have 2 children and be socially responsible
2) a ignorant human who could'nt understand, not to meantion
care, about what we are doing as a species, has 7 kids
3) the concious person(s) passed their philosophy to thier
children, who will have 1, perhaps 2 children. the idiot(s) does the
same and their children have 6
it's all about configuration and 100mhz FSB:-) under WinXP ffdshow codec and Media Player Classic or VLC and under Mandrake xine. MPlayer is slow as hell. Geforce FX and Audigy helps too:-)
just saw it... the best video in ages... i cried... i laughed... never seen anything so funny and scary... maybe because i don't use window$ and ie for net anymore:-)
btw video stream is Windows Media Video 9 Screen
and audio is Windows Media Audio 9
on my p2 350mhz with 128mb ram quake 3 runs perfectly at 800x600 with all maxed out. video is geforce fx 5200 agp with 128mb ram. he really misconfigured something.

...and to make them compensate the artists and labels they are stealing from.
and for 1000th time - unauthorized copying isn't stealing goddammit!!
found some really good post from november article "Game Industry Derided For Mature Content"
"What about the children?"

maybe smart and educated people aren't having enough children because they are smart and educated people?
i found this gem long time ago somewhere here

Um... How about when I "steal" any game by downloading it off of the internet, I haven't really stolen anything...?
yes. developers still have the game. its not stealing. its copying.
