I damn near shat meself, I did!
This guy, hands down paved the road for science in school when it came to learning. Im still in high school and when a video of 'Bill Nye' is put on, everyone pays attention. He makes learning fun!

Depends. If you are an i686 machine, I highly recommend ArchLinux. Its an i686 optmized distro, its package manager pacman blows everything I've used away.
The idea is nice, but dear lord is it slow. It took 10 minutes to boot up, open office took 20 minutes to start, gaim took 10 minutes to start, there was no sound and the fonts were horrible (which I had to adjust) but I suppose you cant expect much from an OS running inside of QEMU... Its fairly nice for the extreme newbies coming into Linux but I could not see anyone using this for day to day tasks.
Lets see, on one hand, I can go with Windows, answer numerous annoying questions before you can even really start using your OS, worry about Spyware, Exploits, Viruses, Trojans, Bill Gates running down the street hurling a bag of gophers at you for using a pirated copy, or use Linux/BSD whereas you do not have to sell your soul, its free, its opensource, there are many free third party applications, rarley any viruses/trojans, no spyware, more security vulnerabilites fixed, more flexibilty, among other things....
Hmm, decisions.
I have been in the 'anti spyware business' for well over 2 years, this isn't the worst i've seen but it's damn bad. Whats next? Does the NSA Plan on hiring Louise Vitte, Alex S. Hatkinson and Serge Stepantsov -- the guys who made CoolWebSearch? By far the most annoying piece of spyware on the planet that has kept coders hard at work trynig to slve the hundreds of exploits they employ. This just in, people suck.
Thats pretty amazing. I have a Lexmark X85 all in one (fax, print, scan, photocopy) and its ok besides that fact the ink carts/ink refils already costs an arm and a leg.
It gives me the serious creeps like im being watched or something when I print a document and the robot voice kicks in "Printing has started" or "Failed to communicate with printer".... im waiting for it to say "Don't look behind you".
I too have noticed many pop-up blockers defeating Firefox on Windows XP and Linux. On Windows it was not difficult to solve. Two options which both work perfectly. My first option was to turn my free pop up stopper back on which did the trick. Sadly this option will only be usable on Windows.
My second option which works on both OS's, I grabbed the Firefox Plugin called adblock. This eliminates banners and such, but not the actual pop-up window. What you can do from there is right click on the annoying pop up, choose "Adblock Image" copy the main url (eg. http://images.slashdot.org/) and in the web features section (under options in Firefox) ad the url to the block list. It's done wonders for me.
Slashdot Mirror
Is bigger than my harddrive!
Apparently you've never heard of http://www.reactos.com/ Does a fairly close job.
Microsoft favors IE.
GoatSE Linux was released and you dont see that on the front page of slashdot.

This CD wasen't setup just to see how many people he could piss off.
This in my opinion will be great to friends who still are incapable of going to the BIOS and changing it to boot from the CD-ROM.
Some exploit. By this morons logic I just hacked browsers too http://obscurethoughts.net/hack.php Im leet now.
Geeks getting 1 terabyte of porn in less than 1 minute. Yes, it really is a pathetic world we live in.

At least I got to acknowledge the fact Mandrake sucks in more than one day.
