Oh wait. I guess we said it ended sooner.. Well, at least we can celebrate for our ancestors that had to suffered through the coldest years, not recorded with a thermometer. At least we will have more drinking water, thank you evaporation.
Exactly Waste MORE time... The notion that if you spend more time doings something, akin to if you try harder at something, miraculously you'll get more done, or absorb more. Think Smarter, Work Smarter.
Alas, one solution isn't a silver bullet... Some may benefit from more focused longer attention, some don't, why not focus on how the individuals are learning... We're looking for exceptional academics, yet we're trying to adjust for no exceptions...
Where's the Penn and Teller show on exploding iPhones. We'll probably find that someone is using a Car Adapter USB charger that sends more juice than the Apple specs state. Good sign that this is BS, no Youtube video.
80% of Users are a PIA, 20% never call the help desk. Metrics can be construed in many different ways to represent a positive or negative interpretation.
Compact Discs are not a good solution for restricting piracy.
Online Music stores, required to by the Big4 to be DRM protected is a "better" solution for restricting piracy, (and use).
Might be that they're trying to move the "masses" to the online, DRM infected services.
Apparently a bunch of people still need to find a way to move away from home, so that they understand most people do not want to fuss with going from site to site, using google, etc, to get something running that they spent $500 - $3000.
There are people interested in spending a little or a lot of extra time to migrate to linux. Some people even follow enough forums, google responses, etc, to buy new machines that are more compatible with the various Linux distro's out of the box.
I believe the original point in this thread was that for the general consumer, Linux sucks from the perspective of compatibility. As linux has matured over time, it has gained quite a bit of maturity.
And the bickering about vendors writing drivers, do like some of us and write your own, then give it to the vendors and the community, and stop your bitching. If the majority out there finds it useful you may perk the interest in the vendors.
The thing I really enjoy about Linux is the fact that I still need to compile a kernel to get some components to work...
In regards to "REAL surround sound" try to find a better accomplishment, people running other OSes have been doing simular tasks for a long time. So really is it that big of a feat???
Don't interpret this wrong, I like linux and use it everyday.. I also use several other operating systems. Someday someone will fix the core X86 operating system, the BIOS.....
Also note, the Linux vs Windows war, is more of a hinderance than a benefit for promotion.

Caused by disconcerned individuals about personal hygiene. Do you touch your keyboard with toilet hand?
More plastic-based products for the landfills of the world... Wonderful idea.... Idiots.
