You're kidding, right?
apt-get dist-upgrade (or aptitude full-upgrade.)
At most (since ubuntu likes to suggest a reboot instead of a restart of x) two reboots. 1 for the kernel upgrade and 1 for your non-free drivers on the new kernel.
Cool. And in 2010 or 11 when mono supports it, that might be interesting.
At least adobe uses it's own resources to develop the linux plugin. (Wow. I never thought I would say anything positive about adobe's attitude toward linux.)
Before you mod me down, note that I'm not saying I sympathise with Iran, just that it's a matter of public record that a major reason Israel/US hasn't invaded Iran in the last few years is due to their retaliatory capacity
In the last few years? When was the last time the US invaded Iran?
And "before I get modded down." I love it when people say that - why do you give a shit? Say what you beleive. Risking being modded down on a website is not a symbol of courage
Most people want us to wait until attacked before doing anthing to protect ourselves. We need whoever attacks us to know that their country may no longer exist after they attack.
It's interesting watching Hulu pour money and resources to keep fixing a "problem" they created.

Of course, if you don't have any problem with Linux's market share, well, you're not one of the people we're addressing with the criticisms. No one can give any sort of criticism about a problem if you just don't care about the problem.
I'd say that people like you don't care about Linux's marketshare either.
People that mention marketshare and Linux only do so to bitch. I don't see the devs complaining about their markertshare.
Once those people's hardware works, then they will bitch about the UI.
It's silly to try to adapt a project to other people's whims. There are too many people to ever succeed doing that.
The people that mainly state they what Linux to be a "serious contender for the desktop users" are usually the ones that will prefer windows no matter what Linux changes to. If 99% of hardware worked, we would still have the "power" windows users finding some arcane hardware and using it as their shiny expample of how Linux has failed.
In fact, I don't recall ever hearing a Linux user say they give a shit whether Linux reaches world domination (outside of humouros penguin wallpaers.) Most Linux users i think would not want it to be THE OS. We have had that for 20 years already from another os and know that whoever has the largest marget grows stale and unwilling to take risks. (Just as we have seen happening with our once beloved firefox.)

Research before you buy.
If you buy a piece of hardware made for XP instead of 2000 is that windows fault?
I haven't had problems in years with my Nvidia drivers, whatever wifi I try, my printers, etc...
I don't buy more expensive stuff. I just do a google search right before I buy something to be sure.
And that search usually doesn't take more than a minute to get an answer.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't understand watching any game that last hours with 1 or two points scored.
Add to that, the game can end in a tie!
The other stuff is covered with the first command I gave you

Bester was a much darker and interesting character than Chekov.
It boosted his reputation to me as an actor. Especially when you consider the moment he steps on a scifi set he reeks of Chekov.
What is funny is how we keep hearing from Hollywood actors and directors how we should give more in taxes to help others.
We listen to them tell us how uncaring big buisnesses are using loopholes to get around their civic duties of supporting everyone else.
Yet, when it comes down to it, they do the same damn thing.

Yes, but they are not moving far. They are only moving to Afghanistan
Yes, I realize I fucked up the tags...

I forgot about that site.
Thanks - If I had mod points, one would be yours :)
I don't have a problem with them doing this, but why give them sole ownership?
If it is to offset the cost for google, than let them have the digital rights for a few years with no possibilities of expanding that time frame.
We are not text messaging.
IOW is not acceptable for in other words.
I get tired of looking up these stupid things since usually there is no context to figure them out.
There is a difference from fighting with an ally versus invading a country

Got to give him credit.
He has moved from "within a year" to "not in one term" to "not in his lifetime."
Yes, because only Republicans can be bribed.
Just turn a blind eye to the neo-libs that defened Fannie Mae and AIG until the companies were sufficently drained not to pay them anymore.

Does it matter?
In a post a bit higher I essentially said this. Linux is a great hacker OS, but an end user is just left hanging
Well that's different. It's rare that one calls one's own post redundant.
It's even rarer to state you are being redunandant due to your previous posts.
I enjoy your honesty and hope your post gets the moderation you obviously think it deserves.
Mac has different goals and markets than Linux.
