Intesting, the first version of Linux I ever used was Mandrake 7.1, and it worked flawlessly along side Windows. It even was able to resize the partition to give it space to install.
You must of just experience a bug, or user error.

Great, spam on slashdot. And explointing people being beheaded even, have you no shame?
Still stupid because he could of downloaded it from OpenOffice's website, or any of the mirrors. Most everything in p2p networks are slower than any of the mirrors would be.
I installed FreeBSD perfectly, though every time I get to the boot menu it just doesn't let me boot anything, regardless of the configuration I use, it being on real hardware, or in VMware
Actually, opening a console and typing 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' is all you have to do. Of course you could use a UI for it like Synaptic. Or you could make a shell script that does it all for you that is set UID root and just double click on it from your desktop (I perfer typing 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' though).
KControl -> Sounds and Multimedia -> System Notifications -> KDE System Notifications -> KDE is Starting Up
Even if that seems like a lot of steps, its incredibly easy when you actually try it. For a challenge, try disabling the sound all macs make when they first boot up.
Its not hard to install, but it doesn't (yet) integrate well with the rest of windows, and you have to have CygWin installed to run it. The speed isn't also that amazing.
Hey if you don't want to release the source you can (and probably should) do a static build, and not dynamic, so the end user doesn't have to have ur specific version of the libs installed, unless it has a fairly stable API, and is common on most distrobutions
If they didn't get involved the terrorists wouldn't of bothered attacking them, yet.
Do you think that being friendly with terrorists is gonna make you immune to their attacks?
The most likely way you can prevent the terrorists attacks in your country (without actually going out and cutting off their supply of recruits, and resources) is to give in to their every demand. And if you do that your just pathetic for changing your whole society just because some fanatic with a bomb tells you to.
Also what would you do if 2 seperate terrorist groups demanded mutually exclusive things of you?
What are you quoting? The parent post didn't use the term 'economical' at all!
Imagine how many more cities would of been destroyed before the war would of ended if the bombs weren't dropped. I bet it would be a hell of a lot more than 2.
Not to burst your bubble, but in Windows (I'm assuming your using XP for FUS) try right mouse clicking on a EXE file, notice "Run as..."? WOW!!! Amazing huh?
It's actually very useful (at least in theory), I think I'm gonna make a script for the action menu in KDE that implements this same functionality (mainly would just do: "kdesu -u nuke -c '%s'").
I think the whole Run As... feature of Windows is rather underused (too bad theres not a way to make it always always run as that user in Windows...)
"Installing an application is usually a matter of unzipping the archive (usually a disk image, to preserve metadata), and dragging the application to the hard disk. To any directory."
Won't take root access to delete that either, unless you manually change it (which I bet you don't)
Slashdot Mirror
I think everything he said in that post was sarcastic. And Bash rocks windows socks off as a GUI (even though Bash isn't a GUI, but a CLI).
Has anyone noticed that MS is promoting CLI? I find it really disturbing...

Obviously not.

proxy or socks anyone?
actually its the Trusted Computing Group (formerally TCPA), nothing to do with Homeland Security

I love the mascot though
That means double the space required (at least).

"In order to go into marketing, one cannot be truly human."
My brothers going into marketing... I think thats proof enough for your argument.
Not in an e-mail, but when your signing up.
Hm... your $33 too high on the license price.

hm... according to percent of GDP spent on military the US is 47th in the world with 3.2%.

Number 1 is N Korea with 33.9% of their GDP.
Unless the US's GDP is THAT much higher than the 46 countries above us, your facts are wrong.
Want my source?

Oh and where did you get that figure of 40 years?
Stop using your ass as your only source of information.
I know I'm proud to be an American.
Someone's pissed off. And Bothered. And looking stupid.
My entertainment is Mac users bashing Windows.
Umm... Trojans don't need root password, exploits, weak file permissions, or anything of the like to exist on an OS.
This was a proof-of-concept trojan, not a virus, and not in the wild. (at least till someone puts a payload on it and spreads it)
OS X apparently also fakes resource forks on UFS
