So in the Garden of Eden 100% of vegans eat forbidden fruit. If they had a decent burger outlet things might all be different now ..

Also Linux security is traditionally viewed from the ability to infect system files on a mult-user machine, and it had long had a superior security model in this respect.
But todays users, really only cares about their own files , which are far more accessible to malware whilst surfing the net.

Time to clean up your facefook "friends"...

Oddly enough just received an email this morning from a friend whose work colleague was surprised to see himself on Street View emerging from his doorway, with a lady a few feet in front.

Yup and male lions kill rival cubs. Foxes can rip heads off all chickens in a coop and leave bodies exposed. I'm sure certain monkeys do "bad stuff" too.

Whenever I see "X11 Window System" I think of the UNIX Haters handbook. A bit dated but well worth a read - even if you like UNIX/linux - http://m.simson.net/ugh.pdf

"Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm,"

A very US centric view of social interaction and society.

When it comes to PCs/laptops , Most non-tech people budget too high for their actual usage. Probably because they've just looked at the high-ticket items in the bricks'n'mortar shops. Although h264 decoding does require a bit of grunt or good gpu.

€2.8m licensing+€1.2hardware =€4m. So no retraining costs migrating to Linux then?

I run Linux Mint at home & cygwin is a permanent fixture in my windows work machines, just in case anyone wondered about my motives.

I have a script that scans my media and tries to determine what movie it is based on its name by simply searching for the name in a search engine, and taking either the first imdb reference on the results page, or the most frequently occuring one.

  The idea is for users not be be forced to rename their movies but let the script harness the algorithms on the search engine to work it out.

In my testing Google beats both Bing and Yahoo easily for accuracy of searching and has less false positives. However too many automated searches will quickly lock out the IP address on Google. So now I search both Bing and Yahoo at the same time. If they disgree on the imdb reference, only then I search Google, to cast the deciding vote. This gives very accurate results, but not much more than if I could use Google alone.

Yahoo is behind Bing for accuracy in my testing. I though Yahoo signed a deal with Microsoft and were going to start using Bing 'technology' at some point. When they do my current method will become redundant.
