I Now Have Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1, Just FYI. I Have Removed The Pictures Of Open Source Linux Ubuntu Alpha 1, From My Blog Since I Am Unsure Whether Posting Those Pictures Is Legal Or Not (It may Violate Microsoft's Rules Even If It Does Not Violate Ubuntu's Rules), Just FYI. 2 Get Alpha 1, All You Need 2 Do Is Create A Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support Installation, Install All Available Updates, Then Change The Upgrade Setting In Software Sources From Long Term Support Releases Only, 2 Normal Releases, And Then Type (Sudo Update-Manager -D) From The Terminal Command Prompt In Accessories, Just FYI.

I Just Recently Started Playing Around With Open Source Linux Ubuntu After Having Horrible Luck With Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack One Ultimate Edition Release 2 Web, An Internet Friend Of Mine That Goes By The User Name Of Alias In Microsoft.Public.Windows.Vista.General Recently Convinced Me 2 Give Open Source Linux Ubuntu A Try, And I Have Now Started Out Trying Their Pre-Release Versions Of Open Source Linux Ubuntu As Well, Just FYI. I Should Probably Change That User Tag 2 Say Something Like Ubuntu Tester Or Ubuntu User, Just FYI.

Just FYI, I never saw someone calling it like this "Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack One Ultimate Edition Release 2 Web"

Well, come on, cut the poor lad some slack, he is American after all. Land of the free, home of the oh-so-special :)

If you have had problems with Vista SP1 (which is a tested and released package), I find it strange that you would be running development alpha versions of a new OS. :ermm:

It seems that you would almost be guaranteed to end up with more problems than you experienced in production-released Vista.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.

      Fire and rehire. Doubt the work contracts are as favourable. Smart tactic using AI to do it legally.
