Pet cats?

You mean display your arm as a scratching post.

 

Pet dogs?

a moron that poops exactly where you don't want it to.

 

Hampsters eat themselves faster than I can.

 

Ferrets just stink.

 

Goldfish are best eaten live due to a drunken bet.

Our relationship isn't based on anyone catching the other. It's based on

mutual respect and love and we're still in love after 24 years of marriage.

Oops, your lack of knowledge regarding Ubuntu is raising its twisted

Ubuntu. No need for configuring.

One finds Firestarter by clicking on Applications/Internet/Firestarter

and up pops the GUI.

 

It's extremely obvious that you haven't used or even seen Ubuntu being

used. Yet, that won't stop you from blathering lies and FUD, now will it?

It should have been "You just managed to post sentences with more than

The UK isn't really a part of Europe. Another name for the UK is the USS

Aircraft Carrier Number One. Here on the *Continent*, many people are

switching to Linux and all the computer chains will install it for you

or sell you a desk or lap top with it preinstalled. It was featured on

local radio, TV and print. Andalusia and Extremadura are using Linux and

have compiled and designed it to their needs. They saved millions of

euros doing this.

Ten million users and growing isn't exactly "because they can't give it

away". Have you always been this ill informed?

Microsoft may be selling Windows 7 to the continent without IE8 installed

and it will STILL outsell any other OS. It is so dominant in Europe, it can

afford to do that and it will STILL be the most dominant force in Europe.

Where you live in Spain, they haven't even got clean water there. You have

The inclusion of IE8 (or exclusion) will have no bearing on Win 7

sales either way.

 

If the Bush Administration hadn't stopped prosecuting any and all

anti-trust cases the day they took office, it might be for sale the

same way over here.
