Hi:

Grisoft AVG and Avast! have paid versions, but offer their 'lite' versions
for no-charge download. They use the same virus signatures usually. I've
read reports that they are as effective as Norton. I'm not knocking Norton,
if it works for you - great, but these others also work well.

Saucy

6 times when laura not around. She likes to do it herself, just like boys.

Associate: People purchased a product/service because they wished to
associate with the image delivered by the spokesperson (and the majority of
other users).

Disassociate: People refused to purchase a particular product/service
because they didn't want to be associated with the image delivered by the
spokesperson (and the majority of other users).

Negative campaign: Almost always initiated by a person/company feeling
insecure about their position in the market, and almost always from a 2nd-,
or even lower, tier competitor targeting to the leader, and NOT vice versa.
Most well-trained decision makers can tell this very well.

Foolish: Anyone insults a potential/existing customer just to show how good
this person is (or how stupid the customer is by purchasing a
different/wrong product) at the cost of the customer to disassociate with
the image represented by the person, and thus, may not continue to use the
product or even consider it.

Many people purchased a product not for technical features but for the above
reason. So,

You ask, why people don't want to use Linux? I ask, why you (as a
messenger, a.k.a. unofficial spokesperson) keep doing this even you have
been advised many times?

I know you will not change, and I just wish other Linux advocates don't
repeat the same mistake, again and again and again.

I don't post for the regulars here who hate Linux. I post for the
lurkers. You'd be surprised at how many emails I get from people who are
interested in Ubuntu but would never post here due to the likes of Frank
and the Nymshifter.

Alias

I don't have statistics for you, but you (and your friends) might be even
more surprised by how many potential users lost.

A side note though, not just applied to Linux but also to those "supporters"
of their beloved product/company.

Same effects.

But the question is, you are the one(s) at disadvantageous and have lesser
to loss. Take it or leave it but it's well intended.

They were predisposed to not use Linux and if they're influenced by
Frank and the Nymshifter, perhaps it's better if they abstain.

Getting the word out is a good thing. The fact that the MS fanboys can
only resort to lies, insults, accusations of animal sex and no content
doesn't hurt either ;-)

Just remember this, you get what you deserve.

People including regulatory agencies can give just so many opportunities to
ensure a fair playground, but no one other than the product provider itself
can assure if there will be any difference.

At some point, those opportunities will be given to more competent ones, and
there will be no mercy for incompetent ones.

No one can force anyone to understand their customers, and fortunately, only
those who are willing to so will succeed.

So, I have done my part of being a good citizen :) and you have your right
to determine how to help Linux.

Good luck.

PS: I am speaking to you as you are a member of the Linux community.

Alias isn't a member of the linux community, he's an ubuntard.

PS: Most members of the linux community don't top-post.

You're not a member of the Linux Community or Microsoft Community.
You're an irritating troll regardless of where you post or what OS you use.

BTW, you never replied to my point about bitrate when ripping CDs. I
wonder why.

BTW, I didn't see you ask that.

The same two songs as an example:
Both ripped in mp3 format.

Vista...192kbps/5.3MB , 192kbps/5.5MB

Linux...159kbps/4.4MB , 163kbps/4.7MB

Vista was still faster...way faster

If you are not a COWARD, just post your real nym and addy, like I have

You ****. Why you're using ububutu is beyond human comprehension.

I use K3B because it is the standard Fedora10 KDE burning/ripping tool.
If that is included by default, the assumption would be it is the best one.

I am working on various configs to see if it is something in K3B, KDE,
SELinux,etc.

Somebody has to work on this stuff.
