Well, it can show a GUI for starters. Linux cannot do that - it needs a window manager such as Gnome, since Linux is the kernel - the "core" of the OS, not *THE* OS.

I use the DVD as a coaster :p
I'm sorry - I felt annoyed and was in not such a good mood for other reasons. Thank you for opening it again :)
Hey guys :)
Whilst I was absent, a VERY thought-provoking thread which I started, was "locked" because a couple of people had a **mild** to-and-fro disagreement about the finer points of why...
If Apple bought BlackBerry, all we'd have is... a crumble. :p
Okay.
Again:
Please see my previous post. Thread abandoned as a wasteful idea.
"Facebook: the ANTI-social network"
You'd lose track if I told you how many times my Mum had said what you just said:
"I hate it when I go to some place (be it a party or just a random...
Please see my previous post. Thread abandoned as a wasteful idea.
[edit]: Extra wasteful due to the sheer amount of naive denial, or possible blindness to what happens on "Da Cloud". Regardless, a...
You're off at a different tangent entirely. Let's just forget it - I have to work, and this is getting unproductive and pointless now. I asked admin to close this thread ages ago - I hope it just...
Wow, I am truly pleased! Someone who isn't in denial! :D
Yes, folks - I am not saying facebook are the "big, evil, terrible monster" - but they ARE liars, they ARE manipulative, and they ARE NOT...
I hope this doesn't appear rude to you, but let me spell out what should be obvious to all but the totally naive:

You only know what you know, and you don't know what you don't know, obviously. If someone is worthy of being trusted, they have earned it. You know VERY WELL what I mean - please - do not pretend...
Fair comment - you've missed the point though - not everyone KNOWS - they are naive - people are being exploited - dress it up however you like, it still happens.
"Do you feel exploited when...
Removed comments that do not further this discussion, and yes - it was totally off-topic. No point speaking one's mind, when it is denied outright - I refuse to waste my time on such futile pursuits.
Can't be bothered. I have better to do.
Ubuntu spies on its' users - fact. There's no getting around that, or getting around the appalling "Unity" rubbish.
That's all people seem to care about; convenience over freedom. Suckers are everywhere, and most people *know* that facebook can exploit them, yet, do NOTHING about it. Never ONCE have I responded to...
Uhm, no - the "whole point" of Facebook, originally, was for people to connect with old friends and socialise. I'd rather I pay £10 a year and DO NOT get abused, than be abused and spammed.
Yes, I...
Do you consider facebook to blatantly exploit and abuse the data people upload to it, under the convenient "everyone uses it" line?
I do. I'm not here trolling - I am asking for details if any are...
Ubuntu can barely save itself.
Anything that spies CAN be turned off............................................................ **IF** the user knows about the fact that it is snooping, and IF they know how.
This is a lame...
Use Linux Mint; it doesn't spy on you.
Google.com :p
You are welcome ;)
All at once?
Ok...
Open bash:
