Quoting AllTooHuman:

You don't need no education
You need thought control
Dark sarcasm in the classrom
But I will leave you kids alone
All in all you are just another brick in the wall

lol



As a regular contributor in the past to the posts you are ridiculing, I can only assume you have made an amazing transformation in the past ummmmm 15 hours?

Anyway, I am proud of my childishness Lord protect me from this adult world...

Yes! Matters! I never let them to tell me tons of lies, looking me in the eye! I do know Microsoft does gaze into my pocket, my $600 in my pocket; but, O, it has got nothing from pocket, going away empty-handed!



bah!! just use a burnt copy of windows vista!! then mr gates won't get the cash!!



While there are already so much better and free, as in both freedom and free beer, operating systems, such as Linux and Solaris, what would be the point in burning a copy of Windows Vista? Vista is not worth, believe me, wasting even a single 1 penny CD-R!

I don't let them waste even a single of my CD-Rs!

lol



true, i wouldn't even install vista for another few years or so, until they iron out the bugs at least

erm...how much exactly are cd-rs over there??

besides, you borrow your friend's burnt copy

To iron out the bugs? Hehehe! Just remember the fiascos Service Pack 1&2! To debug, according to Microsoft, is nothing but to bug. lol

Actually it depends, I think yet you would here buy one for 200 kuruş (about 7 pence or $0.15). If you ordered bulk purchases, it would be even more cheaper. So, do you think you would get bulk purchases of Vistas for under 7 pence each?

..which is also unethical. After all, we should respect Copyrights and Intellectual Properties, shouldn't we?

I just wished that they made Vista language changeable on demand. <- Not a clear sentence I think. ->

In my Linux, I can change system language to any language I want with just one logout and login.
Not all though, some application which doesn't support other languages remain in English.

But it is nice to use most of the programs, in your own language.

Say, a foreign friend of your came into your house and needs computing for some reasons and he/she doesn't know a word or enough words to use your computer. Then you can change it to his/her language with some clicks in Linux.

I bought my notebook when I was in Italy. But the pre-installed system was in Italian.(windows xp)
I had hard time using windows till I get back to Turkey. Then formatting and installing a new windows xp in Turkish did the work. But Linux helped a lot during this time. I got a Linux DVD when I bought a computer magazine in Italy that costs 9 euros. I chose Turkish in the setup menu. I also added Italian for Italian friends there. So there were no problem. When I logged in it was Turkish. When they logged in it was in Italian to use.

Nice, isn't it?

Had my weekly crash just some minutes ago.
I am happy that I click SAVE button on my document in Hangul 2007 before it happened.
It was Lan Cable this time.
The internet connection speed was so low that I couldn't open any site on Firefox.
There were many applications working at the same time.
Firefox with 6 tabs, Hangul 2007, Hangul Dictionary, Music Player, MSN with some chat windows and many background processes. I could feel the slowness in the computer but it was OK. But net speed killed me.
So I took of the lan cable, just to reset the NET service.
It was ok when I plugged it off. I waited some minutes then plugged it back. I was waiting for ''Lan cable ....'' message. It didn't appear. I waited for some more time, due to running applications could slow down the discovery.
Then I moved the mouse and tried to click on msn, but it didn't reply to my click. Then CTRL-ALT-DEL. O-oh. Nothing appeared. I could see that something was going on with the harddisk. Waited for the harddisk light to go off. Did another CTRL-ALT-DEL. Nothing again. CAPS lock light was working though. So I turned off the computer completely.
Did a restart. Then did a scandisk. But windows cannot do scandisk on C. It required another restart.
Now, back to my study after loosing a long important time because of the crash. Thanks Firefox that it restores all my tabs back after a crash. I can just hope windows restored everything back after scandisk.
There is a menu, you can get with F8 when windows is starting.
But there is no SCANDISK command on this menu. And windows doesn't do auto-scandisk after a crash while restarting.
It crashes so strongly that it cannot notice that it is crashed

Hope Vista is clever enough to notice it crashed, and does a scandisk after a power-off restart sequence.

I would want to cause them to fancy that they did really a perfect job and Vista were appreciated by millions! lol

Theoretically -yes; practically- no!
