I built a 64-bit Vista box last year for gaming and it hasn't picked up lint. The reason? Everything other than gaming goes in an XP virtual machine. I've rolled back to the snapshot, applied patches, retaken the snapshot, and then reinstalled apps 3 times in the VM, but the main box has stayed minty fresh.
Comments like this remind me of why windows will never hit the mainstream. "Regular" users will never be able to preform complex tasks such as installing two operating systems instead of one, or not using their operating system so that it doesn't break...
And that's when I write you off as an AV-phile. Let me guess, you also raise and seperate all of your cables with little wood blocks to "dampen the vibrations" too.
I don't think anyone thinks it's normal but from what my "experimentation" (mouse traps in the attic) seems to indicate, they certainly do like it. Of course, peanut butter works far better.

there has been almost 0 UNIX marketshare falling to Apple.
is just incorrect. The GGP seems to be attempting to make a distinction between other UNIX operating systems and Mac OSX simply because of the enviroments in which they are used.
I always hated monopoly, and find it incredibly boring to play. Then again my gameplay style isn't that complex: roll the die, move my piece, buy the square, or pay someone money if it was already taken.
I've actually taken to just telling people to "play for me" using those simple rules.
Valid enough points (this whole "best distro" thing is really subjective anyways) with some minor counterpoints: * `yum install apt-get` I find yum nicer anyways but for each their own.;) * I never found ubuntu's support to be of much help personally, but then again my idea of good support is a well formatted manpage, not blogposts. * Honestly I never saw the point of either on a consumer setup, SELinux is one the the first things I disable when I install Fedora. * Fedora does ~6month release cycles too. sometimes they slip a bit but that's not unheard of for ubuntu either (6.06) * you are probably right there, though the last time I used Kubuntu a lot of that stuff was broken (whereas it seemed to work fine Ubuntu). automatic detection of hardware and such.
Mod +1 informative. Why do people seem to think the only reason developers create something is to get market share? Seems about as sensible as bashing an artist's work because "it will never become as famous as the Mona Lisa"
Fedora has always been a pretty solid KDE distro in my experiance. I used to use Kubuntu but have since stopped. All the reasons there are to use Ubuntu are pretty much negated in Kubuntu, it's basically the red-headed stepchild of that whole meta-distro-ish thing.
War is hell and everyone knows it. Seems silly to apologize for individual acts committed during one. It'd make more sense for both sides to apologize in general but I highly doubt that would ever happen.

Fine then, can I spend 578,000,000 hours online in one month with one of these "unlimited plans"? I thought not, "unlimited" pah.

oh wait, something's wrong here... ;)

Yeah, I certainly don't see a USB port on my television.
He certianly did not create it, but he does understand it (see git).
At the moment that may be true, but that has certainly not been the case many times before.
Perhaps it has something to do with the consistency/stickyness of the peanut butter.
No. I would sooner drop all of my code into the public domain than slap DRM on it.

A good boardgame to me is a game like Risk. The cheating, dealing, and backstabbing involved in that game make Monopoly look like "Go Fish".
You know a game is good when 5 hours through, like clockwork, someone always flips the board into the air and swears it off forever. ;)
Perhaps, but stating

I'm no Apple fanboi, but Mac OSX is UNIX. Who they market it to is irrelevant.
Well according to popular legend they bill the surviving family members for the cost of the bullet anyways.
Wait, are you suggesting that OpenBSD is safe through the placebo effect?

And this is where I stop reading. Saying things to this effect just so you look like a martyr and get modded up is about as old as sliced bread.

That's a tad optimistic, in a few decades I can buy but I don't see it happening in the next ten years.
From what I've heard, jellyfish are one of the most excruciatingly painful ways to go.
Are you kidding me? Sure that's horrific but that has to be one of the whitest guys I've seen in a long time!
That's an example of plenty that is wrong in this world, but surely not of racism.
