Here's one I used when I worked for Dell tech support:

Whenever your computer processes something, imagine that it's baking a cake.

When you're done putting the flour into the mixer, you'd...

Seriously, though--we don't need baby chickens running our dairy farms.

Hey, I'm just happy that so many people got interested in the post. <goes back to php.net>

That dictionary post was like the puppy who lost his way and the industrial revolution (Billy Madison fans will get this):
"At no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to...

sweet! thanks!

I've best heard hacking described as:

Getting a computer or system to do something that it wasn't designed or intended to do, or otherwise manipulating a system, through unconventional or...

yeah, aircrack-ng lets you analyze packets that you sniffed out of the air. Takes about 5 minutes to hack WEP--but you can't crack WPA. I read about it on a howto from hackthissite, and realized...

I have four computers. One of them has a windows install on it. I boot into it about once a month just to make sure it still works.

Tried booting into it two weeks ago to play Civ3, and after...

The honest reason: I wanted to hack into my WEP connection--just to see how secure I really was.
*Note: Everything I do for hacking is strictly white-hat

This might be what you're looking for--install it through System->preferences->appearance.

Enjoying the bump show

I have three computers--only one has windows on it--but we'll see how long that lasts.

Now that I have Gutsy on all of them, I can hook my TV up to it and watch movies off my network share. I...

Well, apple just has a different business model. They get more profit per sale than Microsoft. I'm just quoting my dad (MBA manager over Intel's power server projects), but he says that they're a...

Well, it's a simple equation for businesses to convert to Linux. If Cost of Linux support > (is greater than) licensing fees and tech support for Windows--don't convert. That's not too hard to...

besides, "live" just indicates that the server works in <near> realtime. It's to attract business clients--since most of them realized that a real-time type server will save/earn them x amount of...

I was in my bed one night, unable to fall asleep--when it finally hit me. Microsoft will eventually decline in importance and market presence unless they make a crucial change in their business...

I've had a lot of issues with Gutsy so far.
I like it, on my portable it was a godsend (Wireless finally works!!!)
On my home server, mreh. I've had issues with the Java compiler and just about...

Simple enough. What was your favorite release of Ubuntu. Post why here if you'd like.

I don't know how well known these are--but I haven't seen it mentioned and I've read over half the posts.

Azureus -- bit-torrent client that is java based. I like it because it has a GUI for the...

There were only two things that really irked me when I first installed:

Azureus kept crashing--but deleting the .azureus folder in my home directory stopped that. Lost alot of functionality in...

I work at a call center, and fix computers for at least 6 hours a day. "almost nobody" is about 4 out of every 5 calls for me. Every 10 of those, Vista has completely destroyed their hard drive...

it's got it's own menu--I didn't have wine on my machine before I upgraded--so I just assumed. Yes, I think that is a good thing for converts--don't use wine much myself, though.

I think I found the root of your problems:

Dell Vostro.

Any other dell is pretty good--but that one just has issues--period, regardless of OS. If Vista works for you, good on ya mate.

See my other thread to post good comments about Gutsy.

Here, post your complaints or things that you don't like about Gutsy.


I'll start:
