(the normal dude doesn't think about terabyte processing and the risc processor) it works for some but not most. radical design was the commodore 64 and it's trinitron monitor. i relied on a mac for so long in my business and was looking foward to another apple but eventually said f@#k it, too much cost, too much closed, too much trouble, too stupid design. also there was no real help at fry's or any outlet.and then to top it off u realize that the at apple think just like u do, u think u are all quentin tarrantinos, i make the movie u come to see it i don't give a damn what u think. apple better care what i think if they want my business. i'll still dream of an apple but by that time i'm ready to buy, intel will be good enough and i'll stick with them. and of course there will always linux to make ur old processors look good and functional at acceptable levels and as we all know for free.apple is rotten with the worm of arrogance.
what a dumb business desicion. i don't have an ipod and won't get one. no matter how much i may love apple gear, i'm sick and tired of their elitist beliefs.
it all comes down to mr. jobs always having his nose stuck in the air.
not to be able to play all ready purchased music, so we just waste our already spent money and it's no big deal? guess it's a concept a billion-aire like jobs would never understand his confused notion that his loyal followeres will always be loyal. think again.
well said. it our press these days that throws around the word hero. for the sake of a story everyone is a hero.
as far a open source programmers maybe a better word would be pioneers i guess. maybe another word can be used or a new term derived.
how about sourcerer - practioner of sourcery. the next evolution of a geek or nerd.

that those of us who may get a a hold of something shared but will buy because we support the product and artist we love. at least that what i will do. i bought two metallica cd's after listening to metallica on my bro's computer during the napster trial days....by the way his computer was one of those recognized on a particular day and was banned from the napster network by court order.
fantastically easy reliable, efficient business apps must be developed for linux. maybe it should not be an open-source effort where the apps are created for the love of it with no guarantees. people need to be fully employed and directed and fired if necessary in efforts to create top quality tools of business and computing. with that said i hope i'm not the first person lynched by open-source programmers. funny thing after making comments about quality software all i can in see in my mind is the blue screen of iptraf clicking off the packages coming in and out. who am i kidding! who cares if anyone adopts linux, it's not our loss it's their's!

totally great! once again ur an exception and was ahead of ur time. how many people even know about emulators? i was hooked the moment i saw the os booting up, it was like a life changing moment. if it were the gamers platform of choice, you would have more kids saying things like "for sure linux is da bomb, or "absolutley" sick and it's free......." (if that's the kind of thing they are saying these days anyway)! in this case getting the young people impressed is the key to "really" spreading the word. p.s i still have a 486 laptop running suse on it for the "fun" of it! running lynx and broadband...still fast!
You are the exception.
You are right, some gamers do nothing but game, and they really don't care what the OS is.
If the OS of choice were Linux for games, then by sheer popularity Linux would become better known and more used amongst the young people. A guy at at Circuit City said "hey if u want to play Doom3, dump ur P3 and get a new P4, running XP". more accurately he said "get a P4 with XP so u can run Doom3." Spend $2000.00 for the $50.00 dollar game? It was so funny because I would'nt get a new PC for my business and hate to pay $50.00 for printer ink and here is this kid telling me to upgrade to P4 for the game. Know any Linux people willing to buy a whole new box just to run a Linux game? I love Xboard and all but a new box for it? I'm running SUSE 8.1 professional right now on a P3 600 because the (XP disk crashed ) and it's sweet for the OS and speed. It suits my purpose but it has no real games except those shipped with SUSE. When the kids are around they will demand XP, so I've got get it up and running for the games and of course STEAM so Linux here looses out with the younger folks. My ultimate point is if Linux became a premier gaming platform then by sheer popularity it would be more possible some kid gamer out there may be the guy Torvalds some day passes the torch to....it was a 14 year kid who told me how to down load Valve's STEAM (no Linux support) and gave me a history lesson on how STEAM came about, but he new nothing about Linux, I got STEAM (Day of Defeat rules!) he got exposed to Linux...who was the winner here?
it won't be robot vs robot for a long time. it will be robots killing the humans the robot owners choose to kill. first send in the surveillance drones, get data to create virtual landscape , send in the killer bots and bomber drones and poof dead " enemy" humans at no cost to robot owners. looks like this will be the effective weapons method to wipe out entire populations if the particular population lacks the counter-technology. i would assume "enemy govt's" are moving quickly to counter this form of attack. wait a minute the ultimate use will be bot or bomber drone carrying an anti-matter bomb in or over selected real-estate deviant politician wants.
less than a day is too much to give up to get to know the penguin especially in this day of distro's with super easy auto-install and pretty good auto detect which could mean an install within an hour? the fun is far more meanigful fun after the fun of fighting the device driver war.
dropping linux on to a laptop is all the fun. who needs a pre-made linux laptop? if ur going to buy an already configured and customized linux note book i'd say buy an apple note book first.
after the gulf war, here in the so cal region, miltary retirees were the ones to suffer. el toro military base was closed which meant lost px and commissary(groceries) privilages and access to any medical clinics for the retirees.
what's the big deal about medical? total medical coverage is part of the retirement package after serving 20 years. free-prescriptions etc.
we go and fight the f@#king war for the kuwaitiis and then our u.s. military retirees are hurt.
"Because the US is one of the few countries who put their money where their mouth was" - so why didn't the f@#king rich kuwaitiis re-eimburse us totally for coming to their defense. wait a minute maybe they did pay some one back with oil, it just wasn't the american public.
consider this, as kid i grew up on military bases. my dad was maintainance for communications. and during the vietnam war in ashu valley delivered by helicopter under heavy fire communications equipment. the article was i'm sure general knowledge, but i'm sure slashdot has definitly played a part in disseminating the info further and ultimately into more of the enemies hands. can u imagine after reading/., an iraqi fighter giving the order "make sure to get a u.s.tele-engineering kit and keep the operator alive also". it doesn't sit well with me and is no joke the reality of the possiblity of slahdot's contribution to the enemy and the possiblity an american could suffer because of it. war sucks for both sides.

outourcing has been succesful because there are good business people putting supply and demand together at the right time.
unfortuanately the good business poeple are mostly in the outsourced nation. in the outsourcing nations there are referred to as traitors.
somebody is getting good and rich.

The best way to get young people really intrested in linux is to have games which work hands down better on the linux platform.
