Comment Re:a few things... (Score 1) 454

I wonder how much trouble they'd have with an Android or WP7 device or worse of all one of those linux devices that allow you to encrypt the files system. Still I don't think the FBI would have much trouble they'd likely read the flash chip directly if all else fails and have a super computer go to work on what they find.

Comment And with this choice Romney has already lost. (Score 1) 757

If Romney wants to win he really should steer far away from the tea party types like Paul Ryan as they're more a liability then an asset. His best chance to win would be to choose Ron Paul as a running mate. Yes this would piss off a lot of people in the GOP but the old GOP has become hated because of the Bush corruption and change is the only way they can regain what they have lost.

True it's dumping Microsoft is no where near as difficult as many uninformed people make it out to be. Over the transition is no more difficult then going from Windows 98 to XP or XP to Windows 8. Heck back in the 70 to 90s companies often would transition to completely different platforms and had to hire programmers to make conversion apps. It seems many IT people today have gotten lazy and soft.

Comment Re:E Pluribus Unity (Score 1) 1264

Unity is probably the biggest mistake the Ubuntu devs made though there is also Mint,Fedora,Debian,and SUSE. The best thing they can do with Unity is exactly what Microsoft needs to do with Metro deselect it as the default UI or better yet give it the old Yeller treatment and pretend it never happened.

Comment Re:Way too confusing (Score 1) 1264

This is true I don't have to track down drivers to run Ubuntu for windows you pretty much have to find drivers for nearly everything or use the bloat ware infested restore media and then remove the oem trashware that's if the manufacture had the decency to include it.
