Less earthquakes too.

You mean fewer earthquakes.

O.J.?

Orange juice?

If I can't, without a manual, install program X onto my computer in 3-6 clicks, it's too hard.

You should love synaptic--you can install with 2 clicks.

"Oh just use the package manager" No. I want to go to their website and click the fucking download button. Then I want to open that downloaded file. Then I want it to install. Anything else is unacceptable for a typical user.

The package manager is how it's done in Linux. If you want to do it your way instead of using the tools that were designed to make it easy for you, then don't be surprised if it's more complicated than you'd like. To use any computer you have to bring a smidgeon of intelligence to bear.

Be afraid! Oxygen is very hazardous

It is also the most addictive toxin on the planet. If you could stop breathing and not die of the withdrawal symptoms you would live forever.

And "Mr." is an abbreviation for "Mister" and should be punctuated as such.

Horseshit. The rule in English is that if the first and last letters of the abbreviation are the same as the first and last letters of the word abbreviated, then the full stop is omitted. In American, this rule is ignored. You idiot retard.

Viruses please. And calluses, octopuses, platypuses, polypuses. Thank you, that is all.

Firefox for linux is so slow that Firefox.exe under wine is much faster than the native version of firefox. (about 90% on my machine.)

This hasn't been my experience--I find FF faster by far on Linux than XP. I haven't tried Chrome yet.

And this is why I'm waiting a few weeks, until they get the initial bugs out.

Or a few months. The 3G bug in 9.10 was never fixed--the only way to get it to work was to install 3rd party work-arounds. I don't trust Canonical anymore, and won't install anything from them until I'm quite sure it doesn't have any show-stoppers.

This release-regardless-every-six-months policy is giving Ubuntu, and by extension Linux, an incredibly bad reputation.

The problem with buying computer hardware online is the cost of shipping it back if you need to return it. And with manufacturers cutting costs by making silent changes to the chipset (e.g. from Atheros to Broadcom) within a model number, it is more likely than not that eventually you will need to return something.

The problem with buying computer hardware in a local shop is that they likely do not carry the model you picked out when you browsed the HCL.

You'll get websites saying you need to download this codec to watch this video, and people will do it. With a standard codec, if a site does that, users can be educated that they shouldn't download ANY codec.

Even if delvers better sound and video? Significantly improved compression?

Closed captioning, secfond channel audio or other benefits?

Tell me why the geek thinks the web should be permenently bound to whatever codec he - and perhaps he alone - thinks is "technologically superior" or "politically correct."

Why there should be no competition, no room for experiment.
