Avast is starting to suck donkey balls with all their advertising and tricks into upgrading unsuspecting non-computer literate people. :(

An we continue to be pissed about it except it makes no news because we have "mini-bush" in the PM's office!

Except in Quebec. Just want to point that out.

Why not, drug companies are continually sued over the failure of their "code"

Not that I would ever admit it, but we gave the USA Justin Bieber cause he was fricken getting on our nerves.

Just like my Sager 7280, can't idle without sounding like a jet engine!!!!

Can I draw a straight line without following a website yet? /me ducks

Why.... are you a mean drunk?

Blame the lack of easy use of Access.

I routinely wanted to share out a simple sheet, allowable for anyone to edit easily, but have always fallen flat on my face by the complexity of simple tasks.

Yes I'm a novice user, however like Excel, I can use Calc or any similar thing because the interface is similar and or easy to use. I cannot use a database and have people interface with it to updated it without having to create a form, create a web interface or other complex things which are beyond my ability.

Now, you add database like abilities to Excel, and a lot more people would use them (like linking to other workbooks, multiple users editing simultaneously etc.)

Everyone gets help in Office suite, however Access remains the most neglected app. Only education or simplicity can change that, and people are not in the mood to learn new things*

I was thinking just drop them in the Ocean at a deep depth to add to the simulation. There's no-one coming for you in an emergency in that case, and there's a very real possibility of system failure.

Oh I never said it was REAL. I just said it was a good thing CIO's need to checkmark their responsibilities :)

The only thing I can add is Liability. RedHat assumes some liability in the day to day operations of your company. Liability which if you sell to customers (aduh) they require for certain forms and certifications. Insurance is not enough. We're talking SOX, we're talking HIPAA etc. At the end of the day though, just remember that these are just tools. No different than someone saying "I want a stanley hammer" and you getting a black and decker.

I've written a few whitepapers on Support and Maintenance, and in my surveying of customers, liability or the ability to checkmark that their supplier/vendor has liability for the code they use to produce their goods has been a very GOOD thing in a few cases like government and lawfirms.

Maybe that's my problem, always been using it on older hardware because I never wanted to give my good hardware to it until it was proven.

Although an athlon 2500 with a gig of ram I would have thought would be pretty detectable. And the wireless IS a usb, so more problems there, but it's no different from windows, "install driver" no problem.

Want to install this RPM? just chmod a few letters which mean nothing in a terminal you don't understand and you're there!

I just want to doubleclick the driver and have it work, not prompt me to extract it then have no idea how to run it.

But again, that's from a windows mentality, but its what people really do think when they try Linux for the first time!
