  1. Re:I don't get it on Following Bill Gates' Linux Attack Money · · Score: 1

    My first distro was Gentoo (I've been tooling around in it for about six months). Gentoo is hard, but it teaches you. If someone wants to learn how everything works, I wouldn't want them learn on anything else.

    If you did Microsoft would probably buy you out anyway ;-)

    Your results will vary with what you start with. Had you been a Win user your entire life nad tried to change in a day? How is your background with computing? Which disto did you decided to try? Did you verify that what you wanted was supported?

    Computers that are produced by the mass market are designed to run Windows, you need to take a moment and make sure that they can run Linux. And With Distros like Ubuntu there should be no reason they should not. Or what about Gentoo. Everything will work in Gentoo once you make it happen.

    I am a hardware guy, the firmware is beyond my ability.

    However I can tell you that it's really fun to have a 14" moniter hooked up to this thing. If more than a little useless.

  9. Re:I do not see how this could possibly work on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    It's fairly easy to spoof e-mail to look like it is coming from in country too.

  10. I do not see how this could possibly work on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Will this apply to e-mail addresses Created in Utah? Stored? If I am a resident of that state, create an e-mail address for that list and move to a different state can I use their law against someone else?

    It will be impossible to enforce.

    Give him that example, then explain that if you try to ever remove the one that came with the car, it will have a sticky clutch and whenever you turn left the brights will turn on and the horn will play the mexican hat dance.

    Because the monopoly is working. People simply do not know better.

    We have to get the word out. We have to tell people why this option is better.

    The EU laid the path, we have to do the footwork.

    They want to sell the signals that are currently being used for broadcasting and they are going to do so in the name of digital progress.
