What bit?
Seems a bit more severe than I remember when I first read it some months ago.
Section 3.1 (Prohibited Content) is the key bit.
We can't push things all that much if we want this forum to stay up.
But there is always a bit of wriggle room :)

Remember, we all indicated our agreement to the TOS when we created our user accounts.

And I can't believe I actually read that shit.

Wait yes I can. I'm not willing to get fucked over because I'm too stupid to read a Eula, or TOS, or ULA, or whatever the fuck else. I read the Privacy Policy shit on everything too.

But... most of the time it's just bullshit reasonable.

Most of the time, yeah, its just bullshit. But most of the time you aren't potentially being monitored by some nasty little git running things.
Not yet anyway, just wait for TC :(

In all honesty, TC will be pretty much the only reason people will migrate to linux in any substantial numbers.

Linux already kicks all the other OS's ass. I'm already planning my next comp I build to have Linux, this just gives me more reason to want to.

Let me know if you need any help. I've been using Linux as my Desktop OS for a couple years.

One day, a nice $10k compy. But that'll be awhile haha. One better than my current, probably the same brands, or closely similiar. Prolly a 120 GB Seagate HDD, not sure on the mobo yet, dual corsair memory chips, not sure how much ram yet, but it'll be more than 512. Intel Pentium 4 Processor, most likely, possibly an Athlon. Linux OS, Firfox browser, ATI vid card. Creative labs sound card. I'm not sure on all the specifics yet.

Right now I got dual corsair memory chips, 2x256, Seagate HDD 40 gig 8 cache 7200 rpms, soyo mobo (piece of shit but it works), ATI Radeon 9550 video card (which has been fucked up for months now), built in sound card in mobo, Sparkler power supply.

Most likely, like last time, I'll buy my hardware from newegg.
This the info you were looking for?

Thats the ballpark I was looking for. Be sure to ask around in here before you buy. There are plenty of people who know more about computers than they care to admit on this board.

I'd go for an athlon myself. They shit all over the pentiums, especially when you go dual core (even when running single threaded apps)

It was supposed to be a joke.
10pm here, and the truth is the truth. Most here have plenty computer experience.
Others have life experience.
Not an insult, just an accurate observation.
I was over 40, before PCs were invented, so I didn't have the options you did.
I dont think you are a pooter nerd, life experience will come with time, no other way.
