Two comments above, it states that VB came out in 1991, Java in 1996. I'm not sure if time flows backwards for you, but the last time I checked, 1991 was before 1996. Granted, that's for the language. Which is the only fair comparison, as VB is also a language. The Java *platform* began in December, 1990, but wasn't even shown to anyone until 1992. So VB still predates Java.
I'm starting to think it's you who haven't been around very long.
If Bush wasn't impeached (then tried and hung, but that's my personal dream) for war crimes, what the hell makes you think Obama would be impeached for this?
It really is funny you should say that, especially considering most Windows installations don't "just work" at all, unless you venture out onto the internet to scrounge up drivers for all the hardware Linux picks up automatically. Then you have to install all of the various types of software in Windows that come already installed with virtually any Linux distro so that you can actually do something with your computer. Saying Windows "just works" and Linux doesn't is a bit inaccurate.
Linux has gotten to the point where it's easier to install and set up than Windows. When was the last time you tried?

Yes, because no one would ever think to update by flashing. Why would it have to be replaced, again?
I don't see why google doesn't just put some basic google text ads on the right of youtube served up based on the description of the video and the content of the comments.
I can't wait to see targeted ads for "ur all fags!" or "this sux" or any of the other typical brilliance found in comments alongside my YouTube videos.
I know you're trying to hammer home your point, but couldn't you have picked a better way to do it? Making the outright statement that Obama wrote, approved, will be the only one to vote on, and will sign this into law shows that you're either deliberately ignorant of how government actually works, or you're desperate for a scapegoat.
I can see it now, a Michael Bay slasher/suspense flick (with explosions!) called Dupe. A group of teenagers decide to troll an online forum, but they quickly realize all is not as it seems when they discover a conspiracy to keep duplicate stories coming in order to increase advertising dollars masterminded by the evil genius Captain Burrito. Violence and hilarity ensue.
And before anyone says this is a shitty plot... I *did* say Michael Bay.
Linux distros such as Ubuntu are stripping out functionality, including MySQL, CUPS, and LDAP, to cut footprints in half.
I know this is/. and people have extremely short attention spans around here, but re-read that sentence. What it says is that MySQL, CUPS, and LDAP, are included in what's being stripped. The wording isn't great, but really, is it that tough to understand?
That said, I'm less then impressed by the list of "works on WINE" apps. The link is to a forum that mentions precisely two of them. That motivated somebody to start a wiki page with a list. There are maybe 20 very obscure apps on this page, and I'd be surprised if they don't all have Linux native alternatives.
Yeah, uTorrent is so obscure...
Other than that, though, pretty much spot on. Most of what's there is really specialized niche stuff, especially something like JWPce.
Okay, so it's not cost effective. Target audiophiles! You'll still make a profit, and they'll claim it's awesome so they don't look like an ass for dropping insane amounts of money for cables.
No, it is not *required*. Get your facts right. I've got Verizon DSL and never had to use that ridiculous cd. Good thing too, otherwise I would have had to drop out of school, since my and my wife's PCs run Linux.

Your iPod may be more likely to kill you than your tea cosy, but you can't wear an iPod as a hat. So things even out.

Well, rumor has it that the term was originally going to be "webjournal", but "bjourn" didn't roll off the tongue nearly as well.
Bah. I was tired, it was late, I apparently can't read.
I could be completely off here, but if you're only getting 100m over Cat5, wouldn't you *require* Cat6 to actually get gigabit?
Just because you can do it with less doesn't mean you're getting anywhere near the full potential.

I use Windows for compatibility, but open-source for everything else: VLC, WinAmp, OpenOffice, Utorrent, et cetera.
I don't think you understand what open source is. Winamp and uTorrent are not open source.

Oh, that's so adorable, you think they actually care what users want!
History says otherwise, unfortunately...

Hopefully nobody, I'm really liking Deluge, myself. But the point is that uTorrent is hardly an obscure app.

In the past I've used Hitchhiker's Guide and Discworld characters. I definitely prefer the Greek scheme.
