UAE did for whom?

It reminds of patriot act -- American government spying on its own people. Of course they pointed out that it's only religion extremist & white supremacist. Few years ago I read an article in Indian newspaper stating that on behalf of America Pakistani government will be spying on its civilians. I wouldn't be surprise if America have forced Arabian governments -- or even given them a "nod" to do something like this.

After all how can we be so sure otherwise? All in all I don't care if government is spying on me, cause I don't have anything to hide, nor I trust them enough they wouldn't be doing it. In fact I am happy to see them spending millions of dollars watching my every moves. Can we call it tacit sex?

After all can you think of a better way spending billions of dollar during recession?

Does this mean Google OS?

If we really are going to have a Microsoft War against Google -- although bing seems like a shoot at big oracle. I believe that Microsoft will not win. I hope that Google will be able to win over 60% of the OS market.

They are not kidding tough

I used to play games -- back around 2003 or so. I can assure you that I was fat. Later I got a job, and this forced me to socialized in "real world" and this along with few things in my life made me gave up computer's entertainment all together. I still have a belly, but it's not as bad as it used to be...

I can say from my personal experience people who "spend time on the computer" over six hours -- downloading torrent, movies, porn, games, you name it...

C'mon Linux is okay

As a Linux user, I'd love to see Microsoft, and Apple going down the drain. However, in real world; good guys don't always win. Truth of the matter is that we live in a society which respect power, greed, and guiled.

Well, Linux doesn't have a chance for a very long time. After all what would happen to all those virus manufactures -- excuse me anti-virus software companies --- once GPL base software take over? Let's not forget all those government built in spyware installed by some countries a la UAE (dubai), Pakistan, Russia, and even India.

Vista Sucks

It's hard to believe that there are some people would support, or even defend bloated version of Windows Vista. Here I support Russian government, because Microsoft is trying to force public to used something no one want. This is the same problem we have with the auto industry. American Auto industry is going down because they do not create the cars people needs. Most of these cars are broken with five years.

Normally, I used Linux, however, time to time I need to use Windows. And Vista is not an option, It came pre-install in my computer. It was slow, and was not able to load any of the software. I had downgrade to XP SP3, and I also installed Linux Kubuntu in it. Windows 7 is a Vista, and I doubt that anyone would like it.

Windows 7’s XP Mode — Virtually worth the effort

Jesse Dorland
Linux

Why Windows XP is popular

@The irony is that all this makes XP look good

You need to understand the history of operating system before you make such a statement. Windows XP came around 2000. At the time main operating system was Windows 98/95. Windows 2000 & Windows ME also came around the same year. Of course Windows ME was considered the worst operating system, and Windows 2000 was good for business market – it was not able to run most of the multimedia applications & devices.

When Windows XP came into the market, it brought the stability of NT, and comfort of 9x operating system. Also, it consumed far less recourses then 9X, and at the same time it kept of operating system running for as long as you please. Most of us did not experience so many blue-screen, or freezes. Now without a doubt Windows XP has/had more problems then other OS; say Linux, and OSX, but it was lot better their previous OS & current OS including Windows Vista & 7.

It is ironic to note that it was around the same year I move to Linux operating sytem, and I still use it as my main computer – Sony Vaio laptop. However, I am happy to type this response on a netbook running on Windows XP.

Microsoft is Ignorant

@ Michael Jarve

Microsoft has not learn anything. They are denying that Windows Vista was a failure. If you read through their PR, what they are saying is "We've improved our already successfull OS Vista".

I hope that this recession will have big impact on both Microsoft, and Apple. Apple's OS X is good, but they are also evil, and abusive towards customers.

Leftover Nazi

Last time I visted Copenhagen, I saw bunch of Danish youth terrorising some colored people who came via Oresund Bridge. Cops saw what was happening to Swedish citizen but did nothing to stop it. If you are non-white then you'll be arrested just by having a skin of a "terrorist". Go figure.

I'll past a comment made by one of my friends in Denmark.

"I myself am a Jew. My mother is Danish, Jewish of origin, 4th generation immigrant from Russia/Poland. My father is an Israeli, Yemenite Jew of origin. I'm quite dark skinned, and as so could go for being an Arab (Muslim).

The last couple of years I personally have felt how racism can strike you like a sledgehammer. I am constantly reminded that I'm different, by comments from people. Few days ago a lady looked at me in the street a said to me "you are all the same", not knowing that I was Jewish.

So I quite understand the frustration of Muslims in Denmark. It is obvious that they are not welcome. Or you may say that many Danes judge people by their color, as seen in my example. It is becoming more and more acceptable both among Danish politicians and by the public, to make statements that are thoroughly encompassed by racistic means.

I believe that if this will continue and racism towards Muslims or for that sake any dark skinned groups in this country, it could create such radicalism, both among Danes but also among Muslims, that could lead to heavy violence. This is surely not the way to integrate people, but a way to create segregation, and undermine the present welfare state. The Danish politicians should think about that. As a Jew and in my case dark skinned person, I therefore truly understand what it means to be stigmatized, and considered to be "like all of them", and can understand why deep hate are created among different cultural groups, and what this can do to a society, Danes should think about that."

Re: Put it to a vote on the tax return

Do you seriously believe that "democracy" means privacy, and protection from big brothers? Democracy is a failed system, it has given us “Abu Ghraib,” “Guantánamo,” “rendition,” “enemy combatant,” “water boarding,” and “enhanced interrogation”. Our present system doesn't give us any solution to the crisis of western society within the framework of capitalism. People who can't even pass primary school are allow to choose a leader, democracy is an idiotic system, and needs to be dismentaled.

Happy day for Linux user

Linux users like myself were laughed at because we were not following the masses, and now every week people come to me asking me about "Microsoft alternative". This week alone I have installed Kubuntu (Debian based distro) on ten computers. Also in my local PC Store where I work as Computer Tech, we sold over 20 Linux notebooks -- virtually everyone was happy to get a "non-vista" PC!.

In a way we are leading the revolution. Of course, Microsoft will control the PC market in future, but writing are on the wall.

Linux, because it is as diametrically opposed to Microsoft as George W. Bush is to sanity.

Don't worry about Anti Western

Western nations have destroyed their own culture long time ago, what we have now is a rootless generations doing as they are told by the media and entertainment industry.

As for "hostile nations" aka Arabs, Muslims; they are not interested in destroying us, and for very good reason. Our "way of life" is annihilating us, our future, while we blame our victims simply because they are not white, or European. Sabotaging our media & entertainment industry would be like saving us -- no sane enemy would want to do that.

PS: Western leaders have banned guns for public -- save for America so your example "If guns are outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns" is very misleading.

McCain vs Mongrel

Let's be honest here. Most White American will not be voting for a Obama aka Michael Jackson version 2.2. Obama claims to be a pure Black. He also denies that he is a Muslim even though his father is a Muslim, and he was raised and education in a Islamic school.

I can't see him becoming a leader in America. My family lives in northern part of America, and as far as I know everyone down there is anti-Bush right now, and non of them like Republican party. Nevertheless, they are not willing to vote for a person because they don't believe a mix race man can run this country or even his own life for that matter.

Linux because it doen't believe in race.

Which is the best Linux for laptops?

Jesse Dorland
Linux

Dream Linux & Kubuntu

I would have to say Dream Linux would be my choice. It is a debian base distro from Brazil. It's lean, mean and clean; GUI looks like OSX. And it doesn't consume lots of rams. Infact you can run it on P3 laptop! Good for newbie, and for advance users.

Kubunutu is a nice distro, also debian base with KDE GUI as default, and if you are coming from a Windows' enviroment, and you like XP GUI, then this is perfect for you.

Con: As usual, you would have to configure wifi network card along with few things. Sadly applies to both distros :(

Democracy the modern profanity

A luntic poster suggest that since Georgia is a "democracy" therefore it's okay for them to enforce their will on a minority -- I wonder if he'll use the same reasoning say with African American. Since North America is mostly white wouldn't it be okay for them to reslaved Blacks, and kill non-white as their forefather did to Native Americans & Africans?

Now, this is the same BS your type have used to justify Indian democracy. Indian like Soviet Union & Serbia is an artifical country, many of its regions are unhappy with "hindi" government. The big ones are niggland, kashmire, punjab and tamil to name few. Many European like myself have seen the genocide committed by Indian soliders against christian, and other minority, and we know well full why there is no cry against Indian while Russian little pokemon show gets your pants' wet.

A third of Vista PCs downgraded to XP

Vista Heads

To Usama -- First off change your name man! I mean you don't see German naming their babies Hitler do you?

Now, I know you won't like comment, but I'll say it anyway. Vista is not a good operating system. No operating system should consume as much resouce as Vista does! Also, Vista has more flaws then I can add in this brief comment.

Vista's so called security are a laugh. I tried move my folders from -- and UAC popped up. M$ could learn about security from Linux or OSX. I use OSX & Linux everyday, and in both OS I can move my folders without having to go through these garbage permission. Oh, lets not forget that I don't have to worry about viruses + bootlog etc...

Now without a doubt; Vista has some really good stuff -- like osx version of spotlight (search tools), and isync, widget etc.. Not to mention 3d but all in all; it should not consume the amount of rams it does. Also it's network speed is horrible! DRM monitor alone can consume 500MB of rams! Yes Vista has a DRM monitor! That's not counting the HTC mointor (the apps that prevents video card from transfering HD video to non standard Monitors).

Now, most of the stuff you said about Vista is true -- nontheless Vista is a resouce hog. Today's operating system should consume less resoruce not more, this is where the market is heading.

Just so you know my main opearting system are Linux, and at home I mostly use OSX. My notebook came with Vista Premium SP1 -- it's 2gig, 1.8 Dual Core, 200Gig HD. I didn't downgrade to XP/Linux b/c I simply hated like the mass. NO, I gave it a try, but I just couldn't stand it's idiotic interfaces, UAC, slow network connection, and many many other issues! Vista is good for many peole just as Windows ME is for many people, but I am not one of them.

And then release an open source operating system; say windows 98SE, running on Linux kernel.

India is the worst

Seriosuly, if you really want to worry about security -- worry about Indian. Their nuclear weapons are stored in places where natives are at ware with one another. Tamil vs Hindi speakers, Nagaland (oriental indian vs brown indian). India is a 2nd version of Soviet Union. Half of its population is at war with eachother based on race, class, and religion.

Not counting the fact that Nagali (the untouchable) the 25% of the population are treated like subhuman -- they wouldn't mind doing the unthinkable.
