Ah,thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it and also thanks for not snarling at my typo.

I'd rather them look like aliens or animals than humans myself.

" we know, scientifically, that Ubuntu with Unity is better" What does that even mean?

You could respond to his blog..This is very insightful..In the end,I doubt he would listen since he's in his own little reality bubble.

I agree...And he can't see the obvious cause he's so invested in being right.

They did indeed. Actually,Linspire had a lot of potential; but things just went from bad to worse with them for a lot of mind boggling reasons. Yeah, I'm not sure if Shuttleworth will be able to pull his fat out of the fire, time will tell.

Could you add some really creative mouse themes and fix zoom so you can use superkey scroll to zoom like on Compiz?

> I am so glad I'm not on the Windows merry-go-round. Same here. I left Windows for Linux 9 years ago and I am so glad.

>How will the bills get paid when the advertisers are gone? People won't quit their day jobs...I remember before ads were on the Internet (except for yahoo.)..Things were fine, then stupid shit like slap the monkey started appearing.

You forget this little bit of info..People like me who use Ad Block do not give a shit about ANY ads and have no desire to look at them...We are not interested. Just seeing an ad annoys us,hence our use of Adblock. I refuse to look at websites cluttered with visual vomit which is thrown in my face whether I like it or not. Ads are like never ending 2 year olds throwing tantrums and demanding I look at them as if their makers somehow think said ads are far more important than the website I am visiting...They are not important at all..They are a waste of time,space and are ugly,obnoxious,and intrusive.. It's MY computer and I decide what is shown to me...If a website tells me to turn off Adblock, i leave said website as fast as I can and never return. That's how I feel and nothing you say will change my view. I never even watched ads on tv..I'd mute the sound and do something else.

It's a ribbon...I know this is true cause I've seen a lot of ribbons!

Headphones don't block noise and turning them up to block noise will damage your hearing. Amazon.com has ear protectors and they will help.

The above will definitely help...We used to have neighbors who were too rednecky to teach their dogs not to bark, so I ended up with a fan or a white noise machine in every room. One of my house mates had to do the same thing.

I had rats as pets for years. They are very like miniature dogs personality wise..They will do very well at this job.

I don't care how much the ad costs,no one can make me buy their gizmo's.
