And then Red Hat 6 Beta is released. We need a Glenn Beck of Linux. "Now I'm not saying that the X.org was attacked by radical Red-followers...well actually yes I am."

You forgot to put your pinky on the edge of your mouth.

If he was trying to set an IP address then he couldn't have just googled something, right?

Keep on ranting, dude. All of the Linux users here know that you don't have to use the command line in Ubuntu and other desktop distributions. At all.

But you can if you want to, and it is very nice.

I'd say more redundant than flamebait.

I think you see the Google Chrome OS as something Google is trying to use to take over every computer, which is certainly not true. Google wants to use it to create a new class of computer, a netbook that only does internet and nothing else. Your dystopian fantasy is just that - a fantasy, a slippery slope. As Gruber once stated (and I dislike Gruber so for me to quote him would be a stretch), sometimes you don't need two cars, you just need a car and a bicycle. Why do we have to assume that when a company releases a bicycle they're determined to kill and enslave everyone who owns a car?

Google cannot "win," because they are attacking a new type of device - an internet-only browsing device. Google would certainly like to knock Microsoft down a few pegs, but who doesn't these days?

Look at the firestorm over Gnome 3.0. It looks like a nice new way of using a computer, and I love it. Apparently nobody else does, though. And when they genuinely innovate, the Windows fanboys rip them apart for being user-unfriendly (even if it isn't - the current definition of user friendly is like Windows). The Linux developers lose either way.

The Linux Desktop sector could use a Jobs-esque speaker that praises and extols the virtues of their desktop environment. As Apple (and Windows 7 on a certain scale) has proven, if you say something enough times, with the right amount of bravado, it slowly becomes a reality.

I agree, and thank you for not exaggerating anything. The hyperbole in this thread alone makes my head spin. Everyone's convinced they have the magic bullet based on conjecture and speculation.

Fedora.

What about Ballmer? I hear he's single.

Fortunately, the movie has far, far more going on than plot and character development. the world of Pandora is a wonderous place, and the movie puts you there. It's truly inventive and interesting, and I can't really say that about many movies these days. It has incredible atmosphere and, yes, even craft. It's an extremely well done movie for what it sets out to do.

This is the kind of thing I'd bring my little brother to watch. Hell, I'd say that a more complicated and convoluted plot is the last thing Avatar needed, considering its main objective - a fun piece of entertainment that takes you away from our world and into another.

I know of only two keyboard shortcuts in Emacs, and Org mode is completely useable for me. You should try it for yoruself instead of making assumptions. It really is quite good.

I find that's not the case in the least.

You should download them anyway. It's quite fun and annoys your ISP.
