I think what Cederic was trying to say is, if you really like your girlfriend, get a her a better laptop than some shit HP with a failing hard drive and more than 2GB RAM.
Then those who are anti-capital punishment should foot the bill.
If a person is sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole, I'd rather have them put to death to save tax-payer money (ok, reallocate it to other areas of government) and have the victims and victim's families be able to move on that much sooner. If you are the kind of person who has no regard for human life, that should count towards your own.
Perhaps when I turn up I show my iPhone in a shocking pink bumper to Mr Security Guard. When I leave I show the same phone in the same bumper and the guard waves it through. Except that I switched a broken 16GB iPhone 4 for an 64GB iPhone 5
Except your new iPhone 5 won't fit into an iPhone 4 shocking pink bumper. At least not without some goatse-type stretching of said bumper.
It's a pretty valid response. If your phone isn't supported, then nobody else gives enough of a shit to support it so if that's the case, then you should do it yourself.
No he wouldn't. First of all, that's an old version of Ubuntu. Second, "I can't get Photoshop installed! I'm double-clicking Setup.exe and it doesn't work."
Are there no ports for additional internal hard drives? I couldn't see a single place where they would go. Or are you stuck buying into Apples extremely proprietary (and expensive) storage options?
This. Or NolaPro. Or KmyMoney. Or Gmoney. Or others.
Honestly, this, IMO, is the best example of why Linux on the desktop turns off so many people. Application names. People want to launch a Calculator, not KCalculator or GCalculator. And not Nautilus or Konqueror , but a fucking file browser. Shit, call it "Files" for all I care but make it at least somewhat descriptive.
Absolute bottom line is if you use any online services whether free or pay, it can easily be assumed that you have no online privacy at all. If that bothers you, then maybe the interwebs aren't for you.
I have been using Google services for as long as they've been available for me to use. My life has had absolutely NO negative effects because of this and no money has left my pocket. If I've been sold to other companies for marketing purposes then I sure as shit haven't seen it or felt it. I also have a Windows Live (or MSN, Hotmail, Outlook or whatever the fuck they're calling it now), email account that is almost entirely filled with spam/junk email from none other than Microsoft themselves. I cannot say the same for my Google account.
Our IT group does not keep batteries. We have a small supply room in our company where they get everything they need for their daily jobs, including paper, pens, batteries, etc.
Trust me, if I could convince them that wired mice are just fine for their jobs instead of wasting money on batteries for wireless mice, I would. It's an entitlement issue.
This is what we do all day. We're a 3 person shop and have some of the most clueless users I've had the misfortune of dealing with. Not that I expect them to know much of anything on how a PC works but I do expect them to know how to change their own batteries in their wireless mice before submitting a ticket. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the ticket credit because it looks good in the reports, but FFS!
And because this is Slashdot, I present you with a car analogy: Do you call a mechanic every time your car runs out of gas?!
That's a plus in my book. I'm sick of Chrome's race for higher version numbers and disregard for consistency or stability.
Honestly, once I disabled Chrome's built-in flash/shockwave plugin and just used the Adobe plugin, I've had no instability or inconsistency. In fact, I use it on every one of my devices and have the same experience even across different operating systems. Most times, updates have always been virtually transparent to me as well.

With over 300 million active users, it's more popular than Twitter so it's not UNpopular.
will drink all there soda regardless off how much is their.
So close man, so close.
Because "profit".
Maybe they gave everybody the same redemption code. Bastards. I want my free beta OS!

No Windows support and no GUI. This should totally appeal to the masses.
I think you have other issues. I have a mix of 8 and 8.1 clients here at work and not one exhibits this behavior.
meanwhile everyone with an iPhone is now enjoying the benefits of multipath tcp.
Obvious troll is obvious.

You also probably need to turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS.
There is no TCO for an all-Apple environment that would "pencil out" better than a Windows environment.
Really, so what you are saying is Joe Windows user wouldn't pick this up easily. http://ubuntu-be.org/sites/default/files/UbuntuEnDesktop.png
No he wouldn't. First of all, that's an old version of Ubuntu. Second, "I can't get Photoshop installed! I'm double-clicking Setup.exe and it doesn't work."
You forget that iWork is a steamy pile of shit.
Are you seriously trying to correct his correction while agreeing with him?
Well, they do make the coolest adapters.

Did I watch the video? You must be new here.
