On April 29th, the Long Term Support version of Ubuntu will be released,
a release that Mark Shuttleworth devoted all his time to so that Ubuntu
will finally shoot Windows out of the proverbial window. Get it at
http://www.ubuntu.com/ You'll be glad you did.

What can be done with Ubuntu:

Email
Surf the web
Burn CDs.
Rip CDs.
Listen to music.
Watch vidoes/DVDs.
Scan and print.
Spreadsheets.
Presentations
Newsgroups.
HTML editing.
Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc.
Make videos.
Download photos from a camera and organize them.
Translations.
Use a dictionary
Learn how to touch type.
Edit images.
Send and receive a fax.
Take screenshots.
Create .PDF files.
Create and use a data base.
Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including
Windows Live Messenger.
IRC.
Bluetooth.

and much more!

What you can't do with Ubuntu:

Worry about:
WPA, WGA and WAT raising their false positive ugly heads,
DRM,
Viruses,
Root kits,
Spyware,
and
Malware.

Do you really think you're being cute and clever using a juvenile

Just curious, who do you fetch water for?

Wall Street=investors free to make and "lose" money (course, being
socialist now...the taxpayers got screwed anyway with bailouts).

Socialism=A lazy, non-productive society

Bush did the bailouts. Most were paid back. Obama's plan will make the
banks provide their own fucking bailout or go out of business. You are
brainwashed by the likes of Beck.

Do you even know what is socialist in the USA? ALL the congresspersons
are covered by socialized medicine yet the hypocritical Republicans
don't want YOU to have that type of coverage. The first full face
transplant was done in Spain, a partially socialist country.

Is Joseph McCarthy your hero?

The banks will pass that cost on to their customers...you aren't
punishing the banks.
And the Government will rob from that money pile like they do SSI.

I have health care, you loon.
Most people do...and a large portion that don't, *choose* not to have
it.They spend that money on luxury items they otherwise couldn't afford.
It's they're choice to spend their money as they see fit.

This new plan...I will once again foot the bill for people who just
don't feel like trying so hard. People who...instead of getting health
insurance...choose to travel, or take a vacation, or buy that huge HDTV.

from the '50s?

I have no heroes ... my opinions are my own.
That's right Alias, conservatives actually "think this way" all on
their own. I don't follow anyone, wasn't "taught" to think this
way...it's a by-product of my up-bringing.

Explain how the taxpayers got screwed when these are in the
process of/have been paid back ? That would equate it to more of
a loan, would it not ?

You should also research 'socialism' and not rely on what others
tell you what they think it is, even though you claim....'I have
no heroes ... my opinions are my own.'

Really? How much is the deductible? How much do YOU have to pay of the
bill? 20%? Could you afford to have a triple by pass? Would your
insurance cover all the costs? And, dumb fuck, what the hell would you
do if you were diagnosed with heart disease and your beloved insurance
company dropped you like a hot potato?

Health care in the hands of a for profit company is just stupid. Course,
you don't see any congresspersons buying insurance. They have complete
sole payer coverage. So do I.

If we are being payed back, why is the debt growing larger?
It's not going back in my pocket...it will be distibuted thru various
entitlement programs...to those that didn't pay for the bailout, as they
don't pay taxes.

You have no understandinig of this shit, do ya?

Using the tax system as a form of wealth redistribution and forced
charity is socialism, dumbass junior.
