I love Linux, I have tried three different distros thoroughly, I have set a server on SuSE, I have my personal computer running Kubuntu and I carry live CDs wherever I go. And still I have a Windows partition which I frequently use (games, Visual Studio, etc.) and I'm sure I'll give Vista a go. The only problem I see with upgrading is monetary and my university has free updates.
To tell the truth, if it wasn't because I'm a geek I wouldn't have to upgrade, but everytime I say "I don't want Vista" the geek inside me yells "New operating system!".
This article is built upon hours and hours of self adoration. Its hard to read between "I'm so good I could work in Blizzard" and "I'm so smart I read a book once".
There's no way my mother will understand that there is a hard drive and a floppy drive and that they both store data but they are different. I think if you want to make a book anyone can understand you have to make it far more simple than HDD and RAM.
One of the first things I noticed when I switched to Linux was there were a lot of new apps. I had tried some open software in Windows to "make transition easier", but I still couldn't recognize most software. But the K-Menu has an option to show the program description and then the name so it didn't take long to get used to the names.
So naming isn't that much of an issue really, but I would venture to say it's exactly the opposite. For example, when I first switched I talked with my friends of all the new Linux software I was discovering. I kept saying Kopete is an amazing messenger and amaroK was the future of media players. One of my friends decided to try Linux because she liked all the funny names. There's something appealing about the way Kopete, Kubuntu, SuSE, amaroK and many others sound.
I have an IQ of 110 here... Haven't had any problems with Linux yet (or nothing I couldn't sort arter reading the manual). Maybe it's not something my mother could switch easily to, but I'm sure the EU will sort it out. Modern distributions with KDE are really easy to use and you might need a few weeks to adapt but just the lower costs are worth it.
"Time also named former Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton as "Partners of the Year" for their humanitarian efforts after the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and the unlikely friendship that developed from that work."
Yeah, Bush was only about two weeks late with the help for Hurricane Katrina...
Well, all he gets is lots and lots of bad press. Might make a few people reconsider if he's really a liberty crusader rather than a egomaniac lawyer trying to get rich.
Yeah, make an enormous update package for download with a 56k, make it mandatory, make it hard to apply (to name just something, translation is horrible and the first version of spanish SP2 hung in over half the computers I tried it) and don't give any support overseas. A Microsoft recipie for success. I wonder why nobody is using it!
Well, I don't really think that the ILoveYou virus was any serious because I WASN'T INFECTED. I wonder what would the RIAA say if their computers were breached because of the rootkit. Just imagine the irony of downloading songs directly from the RIAA because they were infected with a rootkit virus... Sweet...
IT experts had more trouble upgrading Windows than Linux. I'm just left wondering what "IT expert" means, someone who has worked in Windows for the last 12 years?? I've had hardly any trouble switching to SuSE 8 from Windows and then upgrading to SuSE 9 without any prior knowledge of Linux, somehow I don't see "experts" having a lot of trouble.
Slashdot Mirror
Mommy, mommy, Google is advertising his products instead of mine again, scold him!!! Damn that google.
I'm glad I turned to Kubuntu almost as soon as SuSE changed management, the new guys are truly inept.
Ctrl + W. It will close your tab and save you 0.48283 valuable seconds.

A browser which makes your computer less secure with its default settings? Mmm... Internet Explorer!
Where's the link?? I didn't find the link!
Maybe people are doing window managers, CMS systems and text editors because they are useful
Yeah, forcing reviewers to a bell system. I'm sure they are already trembling in fear.

BUT they'll offer the best world domination! Maybe some 3D simulator of your chains or something.

They are losing market everywhere and now they will cut all their Apple users??? They might not have heard, but Firefox is coming, real quick!

Of course he could find out, he just doesn't care. If you ask me, it's not his problem either, he was hired to hand flyers, nothing more nothing less.
ICQ also had the biggest userbase of spammers/scammers/plain idiots in the whole internet.
Of course they are crashing! That's the Windows Advantage brought all the way to your entertainment center!!
