  10. unfair comparison on OS Combat - Ubuntu Linux Versus Vista · · Score: 1

    they should not compare ubuntu to vista, they should compare ubuntu to windows 98
    because you know - linux is today only as old as windows was in 1998

    that's one of my most important reasons to use linux... it has come to a point where it is about even with vista in 9 years less... it takes no genius to conclude that linux will leave windows far, FAR, FAAAAAR behind quick...

  21. Re:Wow. Slashdotters miss the point (again) on Enforced Ads Coming to Flash Video Players · · Score: 1

    you seem to miss that enforced ads (spam, popups, popunders, flash overlay, blinking crap, punch the monkey, you need to click on the banner before you can continue, bogus messageboxes...) made the internet unbearable...
    you don't need psychic powers to see that soon you will have to watch 5 minutes of ads before you can watch a 20 second clip
    but since flash isnt an open format, this time there will be no firefox extension like popup-blocker, flashblock, adblock+filterset or noscript to get rid of THIS crap...

    actually, its a good idea... make a big hole in the mattress just under the sticker
    that'll teach those EULA violators

    I have to go and make some calls...
