You should be able to install Ubuntu with no problem. I am not sure why Vista is so terrible, but it certainly is. I loved XP and like Windows 7, but it was about time that Microsoft release another Windows ME, I guess. I used Vista for a y

I've noticed that as software and similar projects get older and more established, the developers believe they know how you should use their software better than you do. This is almost never true, and leads to situations like this. Why this

I love math and recognize its supreme importance, but anything beyond long division is beyond me. Some people have dyscalculia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia

Given how superior the internet is in every possible way (search, ease of updating, ease of distribution, price) for content and for ads, I am amazed that the decline has taken so long. My perspective is probably skewed by being an early ad

Crazy brother and crazy family of a girl that wrongly accused me of stalking years ago, because she was trying to "explain" to her boyfriend why she and I were hanging out so much, and that's what she thought up and told her boyfriend. Thin

Too bad there is no 64-bit version. I've been on 64-bit for five years. Why is everyone else taking so long? (8GB of RAM here on main workstation.)

I still think some people have dyscalculia. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia ) I think I am one of those people. Even after spending 8-10 hours on one problem, with tutors, teachers, and the willingness to learn, I am usually unab

Too bad this was killed. It said exactly what I was thinking about Google Wave. Sounds terrible to me, but then again I am pretty anti-social.

Looks great for more social people. But, like Knuth, I prefer to stay on the bottom of things, not on top of them.

The problem is, this is based on science, not political puffery. The further problem is that you probably say that because it doesn't confirm some belief of your own. As for me, I care about the evidence.

Awesome. As the complexity of the underlying technology increases, I've often wondered if this style of hacking won't move solely into software, and then into virtual worlds -- think a World of Warcraft-like environment, or a metaverse, Nea

Ha, good point! More accurately, I should have said that I know it's illegal, but it's unjust -- so I choose to battle it in various ways.

I fought against the DMCA at the time, and have been doing such things as writing to my congressman (and woman) since that time, and will continue to do so. EFF donations and other organizations as well. Meanwhile, I will also ignore laws t

Good guide, but I don't care if it's legal or not, because I feel it is my duty to break unjust laws.

Knowing what I know now, that would make sense. Hindsight is always 20/20, and I was more trusting then than I am now -- which still doesn't explain why Paypal gave him money from my account when they could have clearly seen (and in fact I

The motherboard was returned to me. That's why I refunded him his money. But then, after he refused delivery, he claimed I'd never even sent the motherboard, and filed a claim with Paypal -- despite the fact that I had a tracking number, pr

Because they appear, from many people's perspectives, to be nothing but scam artists? For instance, I auctioned off a motherboard on Ebay. The guy paid for it with Paypal. Sent off the motherboard. The guy refused delivery, and then accused

Ebay wasn't killed by Facebook or YouTube. Ebay was killed by its own ignorance and avarice -- in that it first began to ignore and later became actively hostile to the very things that had made it popular (small, private auctions), in favo
