How can I protect my Windows computer from Viruses, spyware, adware, malware?
Open the case. Remove the network card, floppy drive, modem, and cd/dvd drives. Fill all USB and Firewire ports with some kind of silicone based sealant.
My computer has an integrated network device and/or modem, which cannot be removed. What now?
Fill them with some kind of silicone based sealant.

Yes.
Is Windows ready for the desktop?
No.

What about Trusted Computing?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Sure. Why not. It's your money.

Debian.

You can write GNU, but don't try to pronounce it, unless you want to look like a bit of an idiot. As to which bit of the idiot you will look like - I leave that to your own imagination.

KDE.

I was in a Best Buy yesterday, and the sales-drone told me that Vista would run great on an AMD64x2. I almost bit him. As If I Would Waste All That Glorious CPU On Microsoft Eye-Candy! I don't think he'd ever had someone react as a Linux Bigot before. It was fun.
anonymous:
Just what are you trying to say? Stop beating about the bush.
Mr Robertson:
Not to mention all the CPU cycles you'd be wasting on adware, spyware, etc.
PS I heard a rumour they are going to rename Vista to "Windows 2010" to match its actual release date. Just a rumour.
For the question about "/home is almost full" I prefer: pvcreate $DEV && vgextend $VOLGROUP $DEV && lvextend /dev/$VOLGROUP/home && e2online /dev/$VOLGROUP/home
:)
Mr Dennnis:
Impressive. In the spirit of KISS, let me just say mv /home/* /dev/null
KISS? as in Keep It Simple Stupid...I shiver, imagine someone trying to translate this gibberish, I mean brilliant techno language!
I understand a few things like:
I don't understand the question
Yes
No
Can Microsoft be trusted
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Yes, Keep It Simple Stupid. Or Keep It Simple Sally, if your name happens to be Sally. Sally is a neat name, except I think it was an awful name for that guy in "Eddie and the Cruisers"
Or did I dream that?
You are dreaming, you've gone to bed, don't you remember? this is all a figment of your insanity! Poor boy

Windows vista is bad-ass... SIKE I downloaded the most recent beta of that piece of crap, and it took like 2hr to install on a turion x64 laptop with 512mb ram, and runs super slow... I see a need for at least 2gb ram when it's released. Unfortionately, I hate to admit it I'll probably be getting a copy of it when it's released since I'm a gamer and games under linux don't seem to go well with cedega or wine... Not to mention DX10 will only be available on Vista and will not be ported to XP... I'd rather do real work under linux.
Nooooooooooooo:

Notice how I'm not calling you Mr Jensen. It's because I want to make people think I am on first name terms with the creater of the magnificent and highly newsful debian-news.net
1. Viper-Emacs
2. Gnome
yet anyway I like your point of view... nice list.
vi is definitely better if you want a beep editor.
Now, if you had asked which is a better *text* editor, the answer would have been Emacs.
YOu can edit beeps? I thought only the Road Runner could do that.
