Christ I wish I understood Linux. I'm OK with Microsoft OS's (Have been using since MS DOS) but I have never sat down and learned to use Linux properly.
I tried to install Linux again over the weekend. The piece of shit just could not connect to a WPA2 base station. Oh, and KDE's piece of shit reports the geometry wrong if you set the window to 40 lines tall. Jesus fuck never again.

You don't realise just how incredibly bad in every single way Windows is until you've used something else. Most of their OSes have been improvements over the previous versions, but they've all been years behind the state of the art at the time of release in terms of both technology and simple usability.
Not to mention that most applications worth using are still written for Unix-likes, as has been the case for the past fifty years.

Heh.
Why aren't they making the focus into making the goddamn thing as cheap as fucking possible?

Their design is to make it practical for their targeted use cases. Then they will do the engineering and economical logistics to make it as affordable to their customers.

Are you saying that a touchscreen is more practical?
It might lower costs and have fewer parts, but don't you think the lack of a real keyboard lowers the generalizability of skills?
Also, design-hopping is going to make the engineering and econ logistics inefficient.

I haven't done any research in this matter so I cannot say that touch-screens are more practical than physical keyboards for their targeted use cases. I'm presuming the designers have done their due diligence in this matter. Another thing to consider is the fact that using screens will reduce the orifice area to the internals. This helps with the problem of dirt and sand.

True, but you do have to realize that this is in the design stage of their next gen product. It's relatively cheap to change designs here, though it is more expensive compared to the spec requirements stage.
I was really prepared to diss the whole idea, but when I listed possible pros they ended up being sort of practical.
Lame.
The design was an automatic negative because of the similarity to the iPad, I suppose. Thankfully I can still hate that.

nr 13 here again
Yeah I definitely want to learn to use Linux, but that shit is hard when you're used to doing other stuff. I started out on my fathers computer, and he ran MS OS's exclusively, so that's what I've gotten used to. I do, however, have *two* machines to work on, so I'm going to turn one of them into a linux box and use that one primarily until I get it.
Are there some good resources on Linux, like some 101 stuff along the lines of "If you wanted to do THIS in Windows, you do it like THIS in Linux (or you don't do it in linux because Bad Practice).
My latest problem was that I was trying to install a restricted program which I couldn't get through apt-get, and I have bollocks for idea how to do that on Linux. It had an installer file which I could run as root, but I had no idea where to put it, because I couldn't access /opt which is where I suspect it's *supposed* to go.

That's proprietary for you, friend. You've choose to become dependent upon the goodwill of the master of that software. Since they don't care to help you, you're shit out of luck. This is contrary to free software in which the community is free to share and cooperate. This is the reason why it's not necessarily easy to install the proprietary software and why it's much easier to install free software.
There was an opt, I just couldn't access it. SUDO didn't help.
But this thread isn't for solving my linux problems so fuck it. I'll make another thread when I get my linux box back and begin installing shit on it again.

Well, if they were sixteen, of course it would be difficult. Figuring out an even scheme (they are judges, they like things even) to cut up the morsel in 16 parts is a difficult task.

First of all, this translation is horrible! “Sixteen judges from a jury eat liver from a hanged man” would be a bit better. Also, this is just a tongue twister, so it's not intended to make sense, only being gramatically correct.
My post was only to note that month names are spelled in Catalan. OP may be from Barcelona.
Now try to translate “Un plat pla blau clar ple de pebre negre està”.
