But Sarah Connor chronicals is/was pretty good. I've missed most of season 2 for exactly the reason explained by the original poster (The show used to be 8 or 9pm on Mondays... I haven't seen it since it "moved" or "vanished" or whatever).
What I hate is that Evolution (and its various sub-packages) are part of some other over-arching meta-package like ubuntu-desktop or something like that.
I get worried when I try to uninstall and it says "will need to uninstall ubuntu-desktop as well"
No she isn't. Simply because a person doesn't understand modern PCs doesn't mean she is an airhead. I bet she can do a thousand things you cannot.
Modern computers are complex pieces of equipment that have been stigmatized as "easily breakable" and "something you don't play with." When I was young I would get in so much trouble for playing with the computer because it was expensive and my parents were scared I would screw it up (thank god I ignored them). This leads people do attempt do to *exactly as they are told* when it comes to PCs.
The airheads are the people who don't do what they are told but SAY they did.
This means that if the school tells the girl to use MS Office, she does; insert a disk to install the internet, and she does. no questions asked. if she cant do these things, then she is screwed because she is under the perception that she shouldn't try playing & learning about the computer.
The problem isn't the girl, nor is it dell, nor is it Ubuntu. The problem is society being afraid of technology and being so scared about "screwing it up."
This is what we as nerds/geeks have to fight against. *Stop being afraid of technology people!*

This is fox remember... there is nothing rational or thoughtful about it.
It is fair and balanced however.
No its not.
I dislike this on OSX... I wish they would just do a hibernate and be done with it.
Is apt-get an app store then? What about synaptic (apt-get's visual cousin) ?
How does the community define "app store"
Wouldn't want them to buy an Unfinnish factory now would we?
Yes, mistakes are as important learning tools as successes.

maybe ubuntu will cut out evolution from it's default.
You can get my Raygun when you pull it from my cold dead hands.
The only good human is a dead human!
Actually they did. And, they told us not to shoot up meth and go on all-night-long no-condom buttfucking sprees.
Really? They didn't teach me that in sex ed. But I did learn to put a condom on a banana!
Is the failure caused by a lack of manhood?

That would assume that the Indians and Chinese will need tech support on the cheap crap they buy from themselves.
I take it that you are one of those people who believe that two wrongs make a right?
Compare windows vs a popular consumer OS such as say... Mac OS. 2 Flavours of MacOS X... server version... desktop version.
Wohooo... Windows XP will be popular even unto windows 7.
Its similar to the restart process you do when you install a new kernel.
If you never had the memories... they (the alzheimers) cant take it away.
So you expect a "night of long knives" where Obama assassinates or imprisons the Republican party?
I use Ubuntu because I was sick of constantly maintaining my Gentoo box.
The woman is an airhead.
No she isn't. Simply because a person doesn't understand modern PCs doesn't mean she is an airhead. I bet she can do a thousand things you cannot.
