You are correct, it's known as the Tachyon-effect, in this case facilitated by the Einstein-Bohr-Hawking-Kryten-bridge. Can't find the wiki-page atm, I'll do a search later and post back.
But you didn't even see that screen. Because you read a copy of the EULA you obtained from Microsoft via some other way. After receiving the laptop you installed Ubuntu on the first boot. Which was during a local LUG meeting with 200 participants, who each will testify that they hate your guts and what you said is exactly what happened.
That should be your story and you should be sticking to it...
I highlight text. I click the "B" button to make my text bold. See, that's why your letters to the editor about the "FRIKKIN YUGE ALIEN-GOVERMANT CONSPIRACY" never get printed in the local paper.....
Allthough your post is obviously flamebait, let me at least try to educate the other readers, who think you might have a point.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa:
Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30,221,532 km^2 (11,668,545 mi^2) including adjacent islands, it covers 6.0% of the Earth's total surface area, and 20.4% of the total land area.[1] With more than 890,000,000 people (as of 2005) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14% of the world's human population.
Not all africans are poor, not all africans have to deal with famine, not all africans are at war.
Please read some of the sites mentioned here, for further information on what is being done with your donated PC's.
And to reply to your statement: I don't know what Africa needs the most, but I think we can agree that every little bit helps. (Except for cheap food, that's just killing local economies).
Vista will be the best thing ever for third world countries. Do you realise how much PCs will become obsolete the moment it hits the shelves? A large percentage of those PC will be donated to aid organisations, who will install Ubuntu and ship them to Africa.
No surprise to see that around the time Linux releases, MSN will turn up the FUD campaign as hard as they can.
When Linus badmouths Vista, it's evil, evil FUD from the communists, but when MSN does it, it's simply informing their Vista using readers of the deficiencies of Linux.
And they'll link to blogs or any other source of unknown reputation to smear Linux as best as they could. Sad. There, fixed your typos for you....

Yes, yes, all fine and well that he's influenced by Kierkegaard and dislikes AOP, but... COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN THE "CONST" keyword.... please....

Are citizens not allowed arms in your country? Why? What could possibly be the reason for that?
Some categories of weaponry we are not allowed to have/import/construct/have_constructed. All others we are not allowed to "have handy" (that means any where). Now, that would mean that I could own a katana, but I would have to transport it in, for instance, a locked box. I couldn't even display it on my wall if it is possible to unsheathe it quickly.
On the other hand carying blow while visiting a prostitute is perfectly legal. You can't have it all I guess....
Still, parents comment was to broad. If you want to get into a logistics discussion I would kindly suggest you read up on the Oklahoma Bombing a few years back.
"How Linux stole MicroSoft's IP" by S. Ballmer is definetly going to be available. Along with "Chair-ki, a combination of martial arts and Feng-Shui" by the same author.
The name was introduced by Frank Wilczek, co-writer of first paper to predict the axion, after a brand of detergent- because the problem with QCD had been "cleaned up".

Have you looked at comparisons between bonded and riveted aluminum yet? I bet there's a fair bit of literature comparing the two construction methods.
I'm deducing your knowledge level from your comment, forgive me if I've miscalculated.

"The brave" got a little less brave and kicked "the free" out of their home...
Now, where's that idiot with the Ben Franklin quote as a sig, when you need him?
Don't be fooled by this post ... the article KFG links to doesn't contain any reference to ponies or horses what so ever.

This sort of malicious ignorance makes my blood boil.... And to think that my tax euros are paying for this *service*.

You haven't seen the news in the last couple of years, have you? (Iraq, Afghanistan)
... do you guys (/girls) have the right to walk around town with a japanese sword hanging on your belt?
No need, the patent application will condence it to 15 words or less.
Now, what GCC version do I need to compile it?
Does that mean that if you leave your OScars door open, everyone is free to drive it?
I just have one question; FBI, CIA or NSA? :)
... I'd like to turn this into an "Ask Slasdot". Which client should I use, are there any good GPL clients or promissiong projects?

Actually it's named after a detergent according to the Axion - Wikipedia page.
