    That is definitely legit. But you're really assuming a problem X has been solved already by someone. What do you do if the problem X has not been solved? Are you just going to be the masochist? Or will you wait for somebody to take that step?

    Your point is definitely valid. However, if you're going to sit here and tell me that you would open up and start walking through Linux kernel rather then doing a few googling about the problem you're facing with Windows than I am going to go ahead and call you a masochist. Or no I will just say you have a lot of time on your hands. That's just my 2 cents.

  7. Re:ThinkPads still use non-reflective screens on Laptops Screens, Glare or Matte? · · Score: 0

    I don't think it's about leopard cheaper than Vista. It's about laptop pc costing less than macbook. Why? Because of the OS that macbook runs. Can you run Leopard on the PC? Absolutely. Is the hardware on macbook more suited to the Leopard. Absolutely. Is the hardware on the PC a good suite for Leopard OS - I can't answer that question. That was my point. I hope it makes sense.

    Man someone suggests a mac gets modded up and a guy pointing out a flaw gets modded down. Of all the groups in /. Mac fangirls are the WORST at following the rules. There is no -1 disagree. I hate how things get slanted since maccies cant follow that. That said I find it hilarious that you compared it to the macbook pro. So I think you should really go compare them. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&node=home/shop_mac/family/macbook_pro http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/systemconfig.runtime.workflow:LoadRuntimeTree?sb=:00000025:00000311:&smid=1F106632CBC24D2CBD23DF19644D3694 First thing you will notice is that the most expensive t61 starts at around 900$ cheaper than the cheapest macbook (so its not a viable alternative). Next when you customize the lenovo so that it has the same specs as the macbook you are still 700$ cheaper than the mac. And that comes with vista which you will otherwise have to pay for. So please PLEASE at least read the stats and do a quick comparison before you speak. A product being 50% more expensive for the same specs is an EMBARRASSMENT. Don't brag about it. This post will get modded flamebait by a horde of angry mac users. Hopefully the message reaches atleast a few people. It seems to me that the fact that macbooks cost more is because of the low percentage of bugs in Leopard or whatever it is running compared to percentage of bugs in Vista. Maybe I am wrong. But that's my idea.
  9. Re:I'll accept it in your stead on Upgrade Trick Still Present In Vista SP1 · · Score: 0

    Is different. No windows. For a comparison, use an windows installer on a ubuntu machine and set up dual boot. Is it even possible? If it doesn't set up automatically though, grub config for any bootable partition: rootnoverify ([refer to partition here]) chainloader +1 Its not possible - I don't think it is. I mean there could always be a hack right. Anyway I have about 4 hard drives in my system. I think only one of them is FAT32 the rest are NTFS. One of the hard drives I partioned into two. One partition being Vista (go ahead make fun of me) and the other being latest Ubuntu 8.04 beta. So lets just put it this way. Installation of Ubuntu erased some stuff on my windows partition that I couldn't even boot windows. I tried many different combinations, well I actually tried ALL combinations I am talking about the (hdx, y) where x and y are ints. You know this. It said it was missing an NTLDR. So I am thinking that something got screwed with my installation of Ubuntu. By the way that didn't happen with other installations of previous Ubuntu 7.10. I know what you're going to say - thats it my fault for beta testing the software. And I am not complaining, I am just saying that the ease of use factor IS NOT EXACTLY THERE 100%. Even with the non beta Ubuntu the 7.10 - I would still have to fiddle around with grub to boot correctly. Is that ease of use?

    If you can't manage to install Ubuntu, you deserve to run Windows. Seriously, it's so easy these days. Yeah, Those -1 trolls coming my way, I guess. But someone had to say it. It is easy to install Ubuntu. But dual booting is just a nuisance. I have spent many long nights trying to tell grub how to boot both Linux and Windows (not at the same time of course). Great times!! Can't think of anything else I could do POSSIBLY do with my time.

  21. It seems to me...... on Student Faces Expulsion for Facebook Study Group · · Score: 0

    Why is this an issue in the first place? It seems to me that this really brings a new view of education or getting a degree. Maybe this process should be re-thinked. Point one: So if I text my friend on a cell phone if he/she knows how to do/approach a problem, does that mean school now should get access to my phone. How far is this going to go? But this brings point two. What is the meaning of this anyway. It is obviously understood that the school doesn't want to give out the degrees to the WRONG people. That said, what would it hurt to give a degree to the WRONG people. What would the person do with a degree. Yes they can apply for a job, but the interview still holds, the technical questions still hold. And besides if you do good on the interview you still have 6 months prior to the review to do good. If an employee doesn't know the technology he probably wouldn't last those 6 months, again this depends on the employer right. This brings to another point. At a work place you learn much more than in school and with the years of experience being accumulated you will probably not have a problem finding a job. At this point does having a degree really matter. What value does it bring? Just my two cents.
