I downloaded the VMWare Player (free)
what do I do next to have an ubuntu (preferably xfce)?-kalos (September 03, 2012, 04:24 PM)
Thanks for the clarification. I think then that Wubi may not fit:I want to have a linux OS on my winxp, without a boot live cd or something, just as I run a portable app or it would still be ok if I have to install it
Or may be I'm missing something.-ewemoa (September 03, 2012, 05:13 AM)
andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7; 32-bit versions only). This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will remain so, but donations are greatly needed.
andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.
andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.
I'm going to hire a personal assistant one day soon. Her only job will be to take all the information in 40hz posts, print out the relevant wikipedia references and other interesting related articles, get me the movies queued up on Netflix, have it ready for me on my desk when I come home.-superboyac (September 03, 2012, 12:44 AM)
That should keep you occupied until then. 
I'm not familiar with how mobile phone stuff works in the U.S. -- it's easy enough to bring a phone to some carrier and get them to use it?-ewemoa (September 02, 2012, 08:11 PM)
So what do you guys think of these old movies? have they stood the test of time? I've been sorely disappointed by the last 3-5 years of Hollywood's movies, I was wondering how these "Golden Era" movies have stood up to those who maybe were familiar with them before we got desensitized to the sheer quantity of produced movies.-superboyac (September 01, 2012, 11:51 PM)
Maybe the idea is to let Apple clear the field first? Once Apple establishes everybody infringed on Apple all LG needs to do is show Apple infringed on LG and they'd have a clean sweep with minimal legal effort since if A=B and B=C then A=C.-40hz (September 02, 2012, 08:25 AM)
It's a sound strategy ... Low exposure/high gain, and everybody loses ... Especially us.-Stoic Joker (September 02, 2012, 10:31 AM)
Note: agree w/barney - Kelly was much better than Fred. And so was Danny Kaye, who is probably the most underrated Broadway hoofer of them all. Danny could do it all - from classic ballet to soft shoe - and all points in-between.-40hz (September 01, 2012, 10:00 PM)
+1.
Definitely concur. Seems to me that Danny was much more accomplished than Fred, but Fred had all the attention at that time, and Danny's ventures into comedy created much more attention than his dancing. I recall seeing him doing a couple of ballet routines ... very graceful, indeed ... and he could hold his own with Astaire & Kelly, methinks, in just about any venue.
Thanks for the reference about Eleanor Powell. I remember her, I think, and remember (after being reminded) Fred's semi-tribute (I really think he was jealous/envious. I remember her being praised as having the best legs in show-business, but that may just have been a Frank Sinatra quote I'm remembering

.. I was a dirty old man before my time
Even in my youth, I generally considered 23 to be the minimum age for any woman I'd be interested in. Second is a rumour I've heard in the past that Fred did a movie with a female dancer who out-danced him to the point that he refused to work with her again. If that's true, what was her name?-barney (September 01, 2012, 07:41 PM)

However, I did commit to helping him with some aspects, and I intend to keep my word regardless what his agenda might be. That commitment is important to me, on both a personal and a professional level.-barney (September 01, 2012, 01:26 PM)
I think he also wants to snoop on his employees...

(full article here.)Apple turns up the pressure on Samsung, adds more devices to second patent suit
By Bryan Bishop on August 31, 2012 09:55 pm Email Email Larry @bcbishop
Well that didn't take long. A week after its $1.049 billion victory against Samsung, Apple has accused four more products of infringement in its other case against the electronics giant. It's the same lawsuit that targeting the Galaxy Nexus — for which Apple received a temporary injunction before the ban was lifted while Samsung appealed the decision.
According to an amended complaint filed today, Apple is naming "at least 21 new smartphones, media players, and tablets that Samsung has released beginning in August 2011 and continuing through August 2012." (The full list, which actually consists of 22 devices, is reproduced below). Some of the devices named were also part of the just-concluded trial, but are being named here because Apple is citing a different set of utility patents — eight of them in total.
