They come too fast and too often, I depend on the plugins I use , these "updates" keep breaking them,so i have mine locked out at number five

That's a feature , not a problem

Movie sound tracks are a medium rich in music. Foe example , The Fifth Element

@ John A.

I agree with the article on one thing............micro$oft is persistant
interesting to note that asus  ( I THINK , I need more coffee) ,is promising tablets , one for windows , and one for linux..........

I am Canadian, the two official languages are English (our own flavour ) and French ( again our own flavour), the French Canadian  word for English speaker is  Anglophonie .The english are known for the lack of ability to speak French ( a canadian thing ) and since  my makeup covers several OTHER nationalities ,( making me a mongrel ) , a phony anglo seems fitting.

I hope this helps

I will  be happy to comply 

@ John A.
In recent history, the middle east ( including Turkey ) have gotten cheated by the western world.The last 10 years has gotten interesting, witness the development  of Iran's PARSIX a Iranian distro.Then there is Pardus.

Both of these are ways to build a I.T. infrastructure that is not dependent on the west, allowing them to empower themselves , as had happened in Brazil.

You may find yourself wishing to learn Farsi as well Turkish and Portuguese .......

Nooooo, I'm afraid it's genetic 

If I may
I think Linux is like dirt , it's everywhere , and in the places you least expect it,I doubt it will go away easy..
Also , windows has a clear marketing structure, so it's easier to make money with it, with Linux you have to work harder , and  to have real skills as a result,not just promises.
Don't forget , at one time computers were exotic machines , now they are so common they are almost disposable............

Now you started something

China had a version of Linux ...called "Red Dragon". I've been waiting for a year or so for them to sell THEIR computers base on THEIR cpu's

and E17 works very well.........

To some degree , computers built with Linux in mind IS happening, (warning I'm a hardware geek as well)
look for the NANO , or the BEAGLEBONE for examples, not your standard type computers, but windows wont run on them as far as I know.....



As for Tinariwen, being that I have some North American indian in my family tree , the irony of their background isn't lost on me

not a problem , was fun...........
Thank YOU for Tinariwen
