Those iPods and picture frames shipped with Windows malware on them. Who really gives a crap if your linux netbook comes with windows malware on it? It's not like you are going to be mounting your netbook on a windows computer and having it autorun some nasty shit.
Hell, even if the linux netbook came with linux malware preinstalled I don't think I'd be mad, just impressed....;)
The Terminator is to Terminator Salvation what Alien is to Aliens.
One was a superb suspense movie with some decent action and special effects that were good for it's time, the other is an action movie that trumped it's predecessor in special effects, and number of baddies.
Check out the little table on that page. Lockes Internet Explorer hard every time. Point is, nothing is perfect. Some things are just better than others.
And if you go all Castle doctrine on him, some MPs will be along a few minutes later.
What the hell kind of business do military police have with me (a private citizen) on my own property?!?
National Guard I might be able to see, provided I put up enough of a fight that the govenor called them in, but unless I'm trespassing on a military base MPs better stay the fuck out of it.
I use vpnc all the time, it's seriously as easy as just typing in your password. I hear it's even integrated into NetworkManager now though I haven't personally seen the need to look into that yet.
Well presumably he already has a license for Windows so it wouldn't be terribly unethical to download new installation media (or use the media he already perhaps has) and use that license for a VirtualBox installation of windows.
Entirely legal? Who knows, hell if I've read that entire EULA. Ethical? Sure.
So it basically sounds like Ubuntu fucked up pulseaudio again or something. The chances of sound not working out of the box with ALSA are very unlikely and considering that pulseaudio is just a sound-server that uses pulseaudio itself that's pretty unexceptable. Having helped install Fedora and Ubuntu for many different people for the past 2 or so years I've been astounded at how much better sound seems to work in Fedora than Ubuntu. YMMV of course...
Furthermore, those "some 20 commands to add, mount, locate, format, automount, edit the UUID manually, fdisk..." are considered a feature. Nobody but a poweruser should have to do any of that manually (we have desktop enviroments for a reason) and any poweruser should understand that Unix has many tools that do single things well. That's the whole point of it.
Thousands of years ago, we were not different. Tens of thousands of years ago, we may have been slightly different.
By nature of constantly evolving we were in fact different, every generation is different, only in such small and indistinguishable ways that it's not really worth noting usually.
it would be kind of kinky to see a girl with similar gaming, entertainment and programming equipment to mine. it would be kind of kinky to see a girl with similar entertainment equipment to mine. it would be kind of kinky to see a girl with similar equipment to mine.
You see quarter sized bombs in bad action movies all the time, it wouldn't terribly unlikely that your average, non-technical, Joe could make that kind of mistake.

You do know what a troll is right?...
You've been trolled son. Duh

Because I could probably virtualize a zillion instances of XP under Linux on a machine that could just barely run Vista. Duh.
Also from Wikipedia:
So as to reiterate my point, it sure as hell better not be MPs on my property.

Uhhm, maybe I'm being dense but what exactly is the problem with their product's webpage having a section explaining its background?
The question is how many hoops will I have to jump through to get those applications to run on windows?
In all possible sincerity, I use linux because it makes it far easier to run the software that I need.
Because the terminator traveling across country hitting up county courthouses for birth certificates isn't nearly as interesting.
Sheesh, it's called suspension of disbelieve.
Please note how I made it painfully obvious that I was talking about ethics, not legality.

Hey, whatever you're into man...
You completely failled to factor in preperation time which, believe me, is a huge consideration for many lower income familes.
If that is the best argument against what he said then I think he's probably onto something anyways.
how do you take screenshots?
PtrSc, on the same physical button as my SysRq key.
Really, if we distill your post down far enough, it becomes clear that the intent was to troll.
An author maintaining copyrights on his works and a corporation patenting parts of your body are two ENTIRELY different things.
Whoever's is nessesary, preferably the politicians though. ;)

Code this have cryptographical uses?"
Freudian slip much? ;)
