I dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04 (or 9.10, I don't remember), because I work with Adobe products often so I need Windows but I also like to dabble in Linux from time to time and running either OS in a virtual machine doesn't cut it.

Ubuntu/Windows fucked up my GRUB and/or ext3 partition and I couldn't really find a way to fix it either. I'm not a beginner Linux-user but I am no sysadmin either. I could never get into my Ubuntu system again.
Ubuntu/Windows also messed with the head of scandisk/chkdsk in Windows 7 that it "repaired" my files regularly at reboot which eventually lead to a huge loss of data. (Most of which I got back, fortunately.)

Since then I don't dare to run Linux/Windows dual boot anymore. It's a shame, because I like them both.

This picture really says everything that needs to be said:

What type of dumbass moderators are at work here? I got moderated down as Troll when I obviously just answered the parent's post with accurate info.

Except that they filter out any user data and passwords when they publish the search terms. Any other situation would have generated a huge outcry by now. Try finding any login information this way yourself and you'll notice it can't be found.

Elitist much?

It's OK, the media will inform the voters. The media always report the unbiased truth!

Then you'd just have added another programming layer since you'd still have to tell the computer exactly what type of software you want it to write. Really not that different from a compiler.

Maybe you just shouldn't use a word like "source" to mean "executable" when you're talking about software. It's just bound to create confusion.

On a side note, kilobyte is abbreviated kB, not KB or kb.

Why wouldn't consciousness be fit to be made into an algorithm? You think somehow consciousness doesn't follow the same rules of physics as everything else in the universe?

This forum is made up of several people, so there can sometimes be what would seem to you as conflicting opinions.

That would produce some bad looking results, as the driver wouldn't know the difference between a model that is intentionally polygonal and one that is not.

Why would you even run 64-bit Firefox if not everything works with it? I can't imagine there are any noticable performance gains to be made from surfing the web in a 64-bit application. Placebo effect?

Phase 4: ???

Phase 5: PROFIT!
