    Re: Your worst experience of pain

    My worst pain ever... kidney stone. Definitely.

    I hear from a few reliable sources that pain is often worse than childbirth in some cases. Is that true?

    Re: This makes me MAD!

    I think that's a thing for all users of distribution families. I'm sure Mac OS X people get riled up at Linux distributions for Compiz Fusion. Heck I'm sure there's still a lot of Apple fans who are...

    Re: What Happened To WinTel?

    I thought it was because Microsoft was telling OEMs to put those stickers on clearly-not-ready PCs.

    Re: What do you do when bored?

    I use StumbleUpon.

    And I riff against Windows sites that are all about trying to get functionality that I could get with any Linux distribution.

    I play Wii.

    I listen to music.

    I program.

    No, I'm not anymore. I'm just saying maybe they aren't like Microsoft. Sorry if I made it sound like I was trying to pass them off as such.

    Re: This makes me MAD!

    I stand corrected. They're in the good category of copying then.

    Microsoft still tries to pass everything they sell as their own invention.

    Re: What can Windows do that Linux can't?

    I use Arch now. I have all repositories already before I even install my distribution. And to enable all that I just type the command I issued before but also libdvdcss3 with one command. All done.

    Re: What can Windows do that Linux can't?

    Is sudo apt-get install gstreamer* too hard? I didn't even have to put in a disk to do that.

    Of course, I use Arch now, so my command actually changed to pacman -S codecs gstreamer0.10-bad...

    Re: This makes me MAD!

    Except sadly, a 3D desktop is not a Linux innovation.

    I'll definitely go out on a limb and say Compiz Fusion sure as hell perfected it!

    The obfuscation of most parts of nv is less because they're being evil and more because they're trying not to get sued. There's third-party technology licensed in nVidia firmware for the most part....

    They did a great job with Firefox 3, IMO.

    That is true. But I'm still not sure I see Hurd going very far if/when it releases. I'm sure there's probably some dandy code in there. But unfortunately for Hurd there are at least two other open...

    I'll call them impractical when they don't work. Since they work, "impractical" is not the word I would use.

    I think an exception can be allowed in the case of someone essentially telling others not to use "improper" words and the like, when in all honestly, it doesn't bother anyone.
