ehh. that's sorta sad that they acted that way. They are, after all, only Mac Geniuses. Who touches the darwin terminal anyway? heh. (btw I use the terminal all the time on Mac OS X, and Macports/Fink are important to me.) And I just want to say that there are some Twitter puppet fans out there, including me. heheh you provide the best/. entertainment.
I understand the concept and differences on what the title, "Operating System" means. As long as an OS is a title, it's understandable. I guess it just has to do with how it's called Ubuntu. Why not Ubuntu Linux? My guess is they still officially call it Ubuntu Linux, and not just Ubuntu. The different "flavors" of Windows (lets focus on NT kernel models) all have the word windows in it, NT, XP, 2K, Vista. Though I still see windows as different, because they all don't exactly use the same kernel, they are, i assume, improved versions of the NT kernel. Anyways, I am in no argument here, I understand your point and the parent's.
what i fucking hate is how they seem to plug their logo into open source software. I've seen this with OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. wanna use OpenOffice.org? well too bad, you're using OO.o OPENSUSE EDITION (imagine seeing the OO.o splash loading but instead of the classic splash you just see a big fat gecko penis with "OpenOffice.org" tattooed into it)
yeah i know. i've setup slackware for a ton of people young and old, but i guess people prefer the windows feeling or something. The biggest problem is that people expect to install ubuntu and things will just work. I install slackware, compile the needed drivers, and everything is ready to go in under 5-10 minutes. People stuggle with Ubuntu getting wireless to work, and updating kernels and modules and all the modules that the new kernel needs so that it supports the wireless driver module that it takes them hours. they don't even want to see a command line. then they post on ubuntu forums and struggle to get useful responses. Linux isn't the Desktop that people want it to be yet.
I feel the same way as you. I want to know what happened to GNU/Linux. "Huh? what's GNU/Linux? when I type in GNU in google it sends me to sum website wer i cant dl the dvd?!!111" I dunno. It's like distributions with good commericial advertising are completely different OSs. They're all the same. I'll continue to install "linux" via the slackware distro, and install it with all the added GUI goodness included that new users want. It's simple, not bloated with shit, and with a well compiled kernel.
I don't think Linux will ever leave it's development stage for a while. However, preinstalled OSs, and specific hardware is something different.

3) ???
4) Profit heh anyone actually done this? used this trick for free service? it says it will charge you $0 annually after all..
I've always sort of giggled when that guy would give out his ssn on the lifelock ads. Getting the ssn is just one small part of effective identity theft i would think. Him giving it out doesn't necessarily make it it easier, it just takes care of the job of actually getting the persons ssn. oh well. There goes their business.
They should make the mp4 hours of video of hardcore pornography, and we can all make bets on what the final frame that it shows before locking up and shutting down will be about. Blowjobs, anal, AtM, Bukkake, fem domination, tentacle sex, etc. It will bring more people to RTFA and WTFS (Watch The Fucking Stream).
heh. I dunno, that video is sort of disappointing. Only one guy openly throwing 3 eggs at a presentation? I was hoping for at least 3/4 of the audience to participate. One person throwing eggs = making himself look silly. Majority = making a point.
I haven't checked all the comments, but am i the only one who first thought this article was about a new Ubuntu release(Tassie Tiger)? I'm a slackware person btw.
Scientology is a cult created by a second-rate sci-fi author on a bet. El-Ron can suck my sweaty ballsack. heh, a little off topic, but I just want to say that I always chuckle a little when I read a comment that requests someone to suck their sweaty ballsack, and as a result got marked "Insightful".;)
assuming you're runnning teatimer since every windows user should, permanently reject permissions for qttray to get added to the startup apps in the registry the next time it tries to.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Certain witnesses have reported this morning that a peculiar man at a local Starbucks started violently masturbating in front of his Macbook. After detaining the man, co-workers found out that he was sending finger packets to port 79 of the L root name server, which helps provide addresses to hostname requests on the internet. Some witnesses' testimonials report that he started to mumble, "Hit-it-hit-it-hit-hit.." in a monotone voice right before whipping his wang out. One Barista who witnessed the verocious masturbatory session claims that he has seen the man spoken to before, replying to the name "Cowboy Neal". New information will be reported as it comes in. Stay tuned.
saying that fat people are being prosecuted is exactly like saying that rich people (in comparison to the homeless and poor) are being prosecuted. heh. Don't want to be prosecuted? share the food with other people. Fattie-Boy with the bologna-tits.
You can make quite a nice and tasty dish out of soy cream and mushrooms alone. Sick fucker. soy cream my ass. It's last night's jizz mess you fucking mixed in with mushrooms. I know what you vegans are really in for... mass semen consumption.
IE 7? Office 2007? (in someone's dreams).NET? (.NET's virtual machine is probably too much to run on OLPCs) If anyone knows what the features are in running windows on these laptops, let me know.
I used to be a Negroponte fan, but since he allowed the MS move in this project he designed, I am no longer. No, it's not because I'm anti-MS, it's because I thought that this project wasn't a place for competition with commercial software. If MS wants to help out, the should do what Steve Jobs did with OS X: Offer it for Free. No deals, no licensing BS.
the initial hardware design of the olpc isn't enough to run xp. simple as that. I find it hilarious that they couldn't get it to run xp with what the laptop already has. That tells you something. heh. btw i haven't RTFA yet, so if I'm wrong, someone correct me.

I just RTFA. very old news. some stranger in Texas got $500 from him a year ago. This seems to be a "LifeLock sucks as a service" CNN article.

"Aww... yeeeahh... eat that shit." Best line evar.
The title of TFA is, after all, "Naked Pico Challenge".
