Dual-booting is generally considered an advanced technique. That is to say, it is the sort of thing that a very computer savvy (not windows-savvy, but more generally computer savvy) user should do. It is not the sort of thing that someone who is new to Linux should do. Unfortunately, it is exactly what everyone who is new to linux wants to do, since they don't want to give up windows and also don't want to buy a completely separate computer for Linux. This is very problematic.
What? I knew next to nothing about Linux, and I set up a dual boot system with Ubuntu/WinXP in no time. WinXP already was on the machine, I then followed Ubuntu's installation procedure, modified WinXP's boot.ini a little (with bootpart, IIRC) and there it was; a working dual boot system.
You should use IETab. It uses the IE engine inside a Firefox tab. Technically, it's still IE, but at least you don't have to use IE itself anymore to use the WindowsUpdate site.
I own an iriver H10, which is an MTP device that can be used as a UMS device as well. (Hold a button while powering the thing.) Maybe a similar feature will be introduced for the Z5?
Certainty is an illusion, even scientific proof is just another notch along a scale of probability. Nothing is ever really 0% or 100% probable except for a few logical and mathematical constructs (eg 2+2=4 in standard addition). Once you start to actually involve the "real world" you can kiss certainty good by.
As opposed to blindly following some sort of book, I suppose?
Similarly the religious bigot and the scientific phillistine have much in common.
Please, enlighten me. What exactly are the similarities between people accepting what some fellow -- supposedly born from an immaculate virgin, and to top it all, the son of a omnipotent being who created the universe -- was preaching some good 2000 years ago, and people researching phenomena and trying to logically and RATIONALLY (take note, Christians) explain them? Exactly, there are NONE. Well, they're both human, but that's it. You shouldn't delude yourself with trying to compare religious and "other" people.
Should be pretty obvious, I'd think. (Most) Christians (or any other member of the Judeo-Christian community, for that matter) don't give a fuck about what is real and even more important, PROVEN. They simply keep on living in their own little invented world, full of dogmas, naivity and gullibility.
But if they like to close their eyes and mind to these facts, because it might just interfere with what they have accepted as (read: substited for) reality. They have NEVER asked themselves "What the hell am I thinking?" pertaining to their religion, so that now they'd do anything to not disturb their malformed "opinions".
Or if we're rather talking about the Christian Church (capital C), well, they want Christianity to exist as long as possible, of course. Nobody likes to lose their source of income, right?

Millions of years? Evolution? Read the bible, bitch. Obviously 6000 years is a LOT more plausible than a few millions of years. Sheesh.
He wasn't talking about your comment, you know. ;)
You've got porn vids of less than 4KB? Cool!
Nothing hard about it, really...
I'm gonna fucking kill that gorilla!

And don't forget, 640k should be enough for anybody.
Troll? Funny. And to the point.
Some people...
'cause that's how (most) (high-school) teachers are.
Will Vista seriously have a RSoD? :D That's an amazingly refreshing feature!

Ugh, religion. It truly disgusts me.
Exactly, as shown in the remainder of this comment. And the Darwin Award goes to... Christianity!
Or types like that.
Oh, hello Jack Thompson. Didn't know you had a /. account.
