How about we just stop making car engine sizes so big? The average European engine size is somewhere around 2l, why do north Americans think they "need" engine sizes in excess of 4l?
"Microsoft should take a hint from VLC or mplayer, and realize that we don't want the useless junk they're piling on. The reason why VLC and mplayer are so great is they do one thing and do it well: play media. Period."
You may not, but little tommy, or ms average 15yr old user, and their parents do.
"Yes but it handles hardware errors gracefully too: for example, one of my 24/7 machines's hard-disk died last week. I came back and found out that I couldn't write anything to it at. A quick look at the console showed a message saying "root filesystem, too many errors, remounting read-only" or something like that. The result is that data corruption was minimal *AND* the machine didn't hang. How's that for graceful? You wouldn't dream of having that in Windows."
Possibly not, but do you see Joe average, or his mother understanding what in the hell that means?
This is the case with most of the Linux user base, they seem to have this extreme insecurity, and tend to go apeshit when you criticize their software, they also continously have to keep asserting that Linux is bettar!!1 the windows.
Even if IE6 is unreachable, who the hell is runnning a beta browser on their primary machine? It's almost as bad as the Linux tards running Vista on their machines and complaining their games/apps don't work properly:|
Everyone's bored with Firefox, the honeymoon period is over. People are discovereing the memory problems, and the general horrible slugishness of it. And also that many sites, don't work properly.
As someone else already said, it's an advanced users thing, most people are too busy with their lives (that's where you leave the house and do things btw) to install extra software when what they've got works

Lower the engine size some, that'd save fuel.
" I suppose thats what I get for buying ATI."
So It's ATi's fault that the third party drivers didn't work?

"who is really going to sit there for an hour or more and watch people walking down the street?"
Big brother seems to be successful, I don't see why this won't be

They may get paid half what the US employees do. But things over there are much cheaper. They probably think they're rich.

What were you saying again?
The nag screens are for pirated version. If you didnt pay for it, stfu
I belive they have. It's called linux.
Uhh.. The spyware makers put the antispyware people into business, not MS.
The Xbox isn't dieing, but your spelling is.
Yay for you. Now go back to masturbating over pictures of tux and stop posting trolls with links that are 5 years old.
So when's the linsux internet arrive?
Is the current system *working*, or are you just upgrading to be 1337 like the rest of the linsux geeks?
Becuase what they have is working, and don't want the downtime asociated with Linsux.
So, Dell == shit, and Linsux == shit. So this is Shit^Shit or Shit+Shit or what?
When's Linux going to get sued for bundling software in it's distributions?
eDonkey was slow and unreliable.
Typical Slashdot, someone makes a perfectly valid comment, and it gets modded down becuase it isnt but fucking tux. What a shame.
Ooh I know, let's get a really high performance card, and put it into an AGP system, thus slowing it down, and sell it, genius!

You'd rather they not test the product and leave the bugs in there, like Linux does? :)

It's hardly going to be the beginning, since windows has been around 25(ish)years :P
