“One of my computers now has windows on it. I'm sorry. :-( If it's any consolation, Google Chrome still renders some of the fonts just as badly as cxChromium did for Linux.”
Heh. You think YOU got it bad? The UK just sold all it's nuclear power generating capability to the cheese-eating surrender-monkeys. (No offense, frogs, from your favourite Rosbif) - Slippy Lane

“I love Ubuntu linux, but I'm still gonna have to bite the bullet and fork out more money than I can afford for a copy of windows, just so's I can use Infrared and Bluetooth. I can't begin to describe how much that sucks.”
...or you could just take a pringles tube, cut one end off and put a balloon over it, cut a smooth, round hole in the cap (about 2/3 the diameter of the cap) and use it to extinguish a candle from up to 8 feet away. Been doing this for years! - Slippy Lane

“What the hell was Gordon Brown - the man who sold all our British gold reserves - doing sitting next to Bill Gates - the man who probably had enough cash to buy all our gold - trying to advise America and the world on how to do, er, stuff. Gordon, your country is FALLING APART AT THE SEAMS!”

“Just watched the pilot for the new Knight Rider. I grew up watching the old Knight Rider, and I was prepared for disappointment. Instead, it gets an approving nod. I even liked the little tip of the hat towards the abysmal TKR series at the end.”
Same here. That's what happens when you expect the worse, surprise strikes :) If they keep up with the plot twists - my inner child will force me to keep watching. - Dani Radu
Yeah, I thought that the series off started off a lot better than expected. It's kinda cool that KITT is like the Batmobile now. - Kevin Bondelli
“Why did nobody tell me about the existence of psych-folk harpist/singer/songwriter Joanna Newsom before now? I just "discovered" her, and I'm freakin' blown away!”
Slippy, I was worried for a little bit, then people just piled on. There is hope :) - Rob Diana
lol, yeah. Still, this thread kinda shows that without Canonical, Linux would still have practically zero market penetration. Ubuntu FTW - Slippy Lane
i used to have a server running debian, but just a windows house now. mainly b/c the application i specialize in only runs on windows - cjmart
I used to have a couple Debian servers as well. My primary computer was Debian for like...10 years, but then I got this XP laptop and haven't really been able to get my Linux box on the wireless cuz it's old as fudge. - Rah™
I run Ubuntu under a VM on OS X...does that count? - Clen Gampbell
i use linux distro cd's for frisbees, they seem just as reliable as vista cd's, arcing them out over the canyon in my back yard, light shimmering - Gregory Lent
I have Topologilinux on an old XP box which I use from time to time, and I also used to have Ubuntu on a USB drive. (took a lot of tweaking to get it to work) But 99% of my time is spent on Vista and OS X. - Vincent X
Ex-linux users, linux-in-VM users and linux cd frisbee throwers (lol) don't count :-) - Slippy Lane
