Then I said, "You know, all the applications you mention are ones that will run on both Linux and Windows. Why don't you download and install them, first on Windows, get to know them and then switch all the way to Linux, once you've adjusted?".
But if he mentions those applications, doesn't he already have them installed on Windows? You specifically state that those applications run on both Windows and Linux, which leads me to believe you mean "computer program" when you write application, and not the more general meaning of it. It's a bit confusing, really. Otherwise, it's an interesting post.
Except that drivers commonly run in kernel space, not in user space, so they can destabilize the system.
I've never had any trouble with Realtek drivers myself, though. Neither on Windows or on Linux. But then again, I haven't used any of their more exotic chipsets.
A business is under no obligation legally to take back a returned item once sold, as long as it is not defective and was not sold under false pretenses.
And if you read that, you'd know he invented the escape sequence, rather than just a key on your keyboard. The website hardly mentions the key, it mentions the concept of the escape sequence. That the ESC key is used to activate terminal escape sequences, or the backslash (which he also introduced into ASCII) is used to activate C-like escape sequences, isn't as relevant as the concept of the escape sequence itself.

If they can't find a farmer at home and they don't know his mailing address, they can go to the local municipality and get the location of his land. They will then use a small airplane or helicopter and drop a Monsanto Roundup herbicide spray bomb on the field. It covers about 30 feet in diameter, in the centre of a canola or soybean field.
About 12 days after Roundup has time to activate, they'll fly back. If the crop, which was hit by the spray, has died they'll know the farmer has not been using Monsanto's Roundup, but if it hasn't died, God help the farmer.
Sounds like the technique used to determine if someone was a witch way back in medieval times, where they used to tie heavy objects to a suspect of witchcraft, then throw her in a pond. If she drowned, she was not a witch, but if she didn't drown, she was...
Yeah, so here's one guy that's too ignorant/dumb/lazy to get this site (and what a site ) working in IE and the industry is now flocking away from IE....
I'm sure MS is shaking in their collective boots.... Bill G must be apologizing to his kids for loosing his fortune even now....

It is that thinking that allowed Linux to become what it is today and allowed Hilter to take over most of Europe. Actions must be made now and not later as little things will grow. Just as weeds grow in your yard if you don't kill them at first sight.
What's a ``google browser hijack''? I find it hard to believe that Google would do nasty stuff to your browser, so my suspicion is that you actually mean:
A malicious program that causes IE to, when the Google site is supposed to be visited, to visit another site instead, possibly displaying a Google URL.

The GPL doesn't prohibit commercial use at all.
How many people do you hear blame Intel or AMD for their BSODs? Intel often advertises on the computer case itself.

Guess what? You don't have to break it.
I think you meant to reply to another post in this thread. This is the Futurama-quote subthread... ;-)
You should not ask about the secret ingredient!
That was for their self-assembly kits ;-)

And that's derived from a 1940s/1950s quote from an IBM chairman who was talking about computers.
Yeah, it's not easy being green...

Yeah, there are just so many applicable quotes, and then we haven't even touched the Nappster episode yet...

Either this should be modded +1 Insightful or -1 Conspiracy Nut, but I'm not sure which would apply. Perhaps they don't want us to find out...
Because floppies rapidly develop bad sectors when exposed to a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere these days?
