I find Linux to be so unusable. My cousin placed it on my computer, and it's just awful.

I've used it for weeks, and I still don't like it. Linux doesn't seem as polished as other OS's, and there's a lot of junkware for it. Like OpenOffice is so unfeatured like MS Office and iWork.

Plus it's so hard to get around. And nothing works for it. Only cheapo junkware.

I think Linux is just for geeky nerds who know nothing. I hate it. I don't see why anyone wants to use Linux.

Windows and OS X are 10 times better. Why don't you Linux fanboys explain to me what's so great about it.

I made iGoogle my home page, and ever since then it is slow to come up. REAL slow! Computer is newer, and I have no problems with anything else. Even the iGoogle mail is fine, notification is fine etc. All but the home page.
Thanks for any tips/help. At this point it does not seem worth the effort.

So many people pass around unproven informantion on the internet without investigating it to know if there is any truth to it or not. Have you ever heard of a ligitamate computer virus called "A Card For You", or is this a Hoax?

Yeah...I know you use a scanner but I'm not sure what to do after. It won't copy onto my computer.

Over the past couple days, my Comcast cable's download speed is having trouble getting much past 500kbps. When I called them, the service rep told me that she didn't see anything indicating a cap or throttle. To verify that this is true, has anyone experienced Comcast slowing down your speed drastically without actually cutting off your service?

We use laptops at home at the moment and always have used laptops or PC's. I was wondering if it's worth getting a iMac or macbook. I tried using a mac a couple of days ago and found it easy to use. We would also keep the laptops so things like compatibility issuses and inferier gaming issues dont matter.
1.Do Mac's generally run smoother than PC's i.e. less crashing, less viruses, and better multi tasking
2.Are Mac's better for doing things with pictures, movies, music etc...
3.Is there much difference between a PC and a Mac appart from the desktop and design.

Alright, so I created a zip folder and put 5 documents in it, and then set a password about 10 months ago. Of course I've forgotten the password and I would really like to be able to re-access the files. I've tried many of the free ZIP recovery programs (most of which do 2-5 character recoveries) and I still haven't gotten the password. So are there any free programs with a large number of character searches? Or even a VERY GOOD program that you would recommend (preferably that you have used and it worked for you) that I could pay for with a credit card?

Why do some guys not always reply to a myspace message someone sends them? I mean, some people always write back some it's 50-50 others not at all. What is behind the minds of the 50-50's. Do they just not like to be bothered with questions and stuff?
