I would feel the same way if I hadn't just discovered MSNBC has taken a similar position on the other side of the aisle. (if MSNBC is as juvenile as FOX, which I still kind of doubt) Anyways, as long as there are two to tango, Fox News will continue.
I can see the partisanship, I don't quite see the childish "haha your stupid!" attitude. I think if you want something that compares to Fox's level of immaturity you need to visit comedy central.
Sometimes, I swear to god, Fox News is just going for civil war. Those people seriously need to STFU. Partisan bias, partisan criticisms, and partisan opinions are all fine and to be expected in democracy, but Fox News is purely vitriolic partisan propaganda. The video I linked to would be tasteless and offensive if provided during a comedy show, but acceptable. When masked as the news they are placing their juvenile name-calling and slander in the same class as news coverage regarding things like nuclear proliferation and war in the middle east. For all their pandering to the soldiers in Iraq, my heart goes out to all the African American soldiers we have in the field that saw this.
I disagree. Of course our application/hardware requirements haven't allowed us to progress with a vista deployment at all. Right now I type away with an intel core 2 cpu, 3 gigs of ram and an nvidia geforce FX 5200. My windows experience index is a 2.0. I'm at SP1 and I installed terracopy a couple of weeks ago when a dvd burn was estimated to take 16 hours.
My take is that Vista was not intended to run on 99% of the PCs already out there, so yeah poor marketing was a culprit (that they were sued over) as they were selling this crap to the 99% of users that don't know where a CPU is on PCs the OEMs were told to list as vista capable.
As far as I'm concerned my system running Vista has introduced nothing but incompatibilities that I don't need, it's not faster, and while it doesn't crash it is still buggy. I have noticed that I don't ever run in to that thumb drive removal problem that I had with XP (where there's no apps accessing the drive, but it won't release).
I agree software compatibility is a huge problem, but so is hardware compatibility and I just have not seen the benefits you speak of. I've heard of some nice deployment features that are available, but deployment is still a ways off due to hardware and software incompatibilities.
You can compare Vista vs XP in a lab somewhere just like we can compare XP vs Ubuntu, but the practicality of implementing the thing makes it a dog.
Sure I'll surrender the point that Vista is technically superior to XP without even investigating - it damn well ought to be. But if it doesn't support hardware that was delivered with XP it is not any kind of an upgrade, if it doesn't support software that people need for day to day functions then it is not a viable business solution.
I showed this to a friend this weekend. The result was he asked if he needed any of this. I said not really, he said "I'll have to learn a new interface though?" "Yup." "Let's go with XP." And no, I did not spread my hatred at all, I simply gave him the info required to make the decision on his own. I didn't have to mention file copy in vista.
Yes and no. Verizon is having to dispatch a technician to physically go to her house to setup the Internet connection and Dell is not prepared to offer options like Crossover Office. Support from the companies that are intended to offer Internet support and software support. Both Dell and Verizon have failed. What's really sad is that there's no reason both Dell and Verizon can't contract out to someone that is both willing and capable of supporting Linux systems.
The only reason we are having this discussion is because you believe your crackpot beliefs are better than a hippies crackpot beliefs. You believe the hippy is something you would not want to be associated with, regardless of the fact that most hippies I have ever known are far more christlike than the majority of christians I've met. I'll make an exception for christian hippies.
You're right. The symbolism of eating crackers to protect yourself from a goat-man that lives in a lake of fire is vastly less crazy than using pyramids to protect yourself from invisible electromagnetic radiation (which at least exists).
Out of curiosity, why is it that a literal interpretation of the earth's age is okay (maybe not on your part), while a literal interpretation of communion is barbaric?
The problem with impeaching bush, was that we would have been left with cheney. I firmly believe that bush would have been drug out of office otherwise.

Sweet, so if I'm unconditionally skinny, does that mean that fatties are going to be paying me to drink my vomit any day soon?

please explain the rush to market with windows 7.

Yes, but presumably Verizon technical support doesn't know how to do that.
how about darl.mcbride@sco.com?
Nobody? Seriously, I'm quitting Slashdot any day now.

Bingo! But, I couldn't find an online source either.
On that first option. Has anyone compared the available development tools for linux?

yea, kind of odd though that my kids will not be exposed to nearly as many beatles songs as I was.

Einstein studied alchemy.

and a militant that fires RPGs from a populated school is what? A politician trying to rally his cause when the enemy fires back?
So, wolves eat rabbits because they don't know any better? I suppose the rabbit doesn't care either way.
