PS…what you should do is…tell both
Apple and MS to kiss arse and use a flavor of Linus…Ubuntu is nice (for XP fans) cause it looks similar and you can boot and run a persistent copy off a USB key..

If you need a slim version (low memory systems) use Xbuntu and if you’ve been brainwashed into thinking the Vista GUI is Tits on a Ritz use Kbuntu..

If you want install and run Ubuntu like a Windows app inside your OS, use the Wubi installer (located within the second link below.

To try Ubuntu burn the ISO to a CD and select the first option: “try without making changes to your system”

Better still, get a VM like VMware or MS’s Virtual PC and boot the VM using the ISO

Here is a link to the latest stable release ISO for v9.04 of Ubuntu (32bit)

go here to select a different DL location and/or the 64bit ISO

for U.S. People, i recommend the MIT Lab location, it comes down at 13-15mbps here in NYC (about 4-6m,min for the 700mb CD image
on a cable ISP)

These ISO’s have all you need including Firefox browser, Open Office. plus GIMP, which is a pretty dam good photoshop clone, an IM app, an EMAIL app, plus and a whole lot more.
I recommend grabbing a 2gb or 4 gb USB stick so you can carry your “world on a stick”

Ubuntu will read FAT flavor(s)and NTFS file systems as well as Linux..not sure about HPFS

Booting off the LiveCD (iso) will NOT make any changes to your PC when you select the “dont make changes” option (default/first on list)

It only needs a 256mb system to run the LiveCD option, though obviously, a 1gb or more is better as it allows it to create a much larger RAM drive to swap kernel and other goodies to for faster access.

Enjoy!

#17 – Wait until Macfarlane is done with them. Then we’ll see if you think this is good, cheap publicity.

Urgh. Just more evidence of how lame Microsoft really is. It is almost as bad as their Microsoft 7 Party film that they released.

This was a chance fo them to become somewhat relevant to the kids, but what a surprise, they blew it. Then they sit there wondering why all the kids are flocking to Apple, while they sit there like some old geezer, afraid to change or be edgy in any way.

There is nothing “racy” about family guy. (unless ofc, your a lemming)

It pokes fun at how absurd and thin-skinned. our society has become–and how great it once was..

Hmm…instead..maybe they should advertise during Southpark’s Paris Hilton parody with the “whore off” contest..now that was funny.

The irony with these two cartoons(series) is that they are more in touch with real reality than any flesh and blood series could ever hope to be.

Both are highly instructive of the moral corrosion and destruction the sociopaths on both the left and right, are intentionally leading this country into.

Remember, in order for good comedy to work, it must be based in the truth.

George Carlin would assuredly approve of them.

Since the days of the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour, these are only two new cartoons worthy of an animators time.

All the rest meant to turn your kids into mushy-headed do-goody snitches, a a new army sign up, or an eco-terrorist.

Damn, I just scored a sponsorship with them for “MILFS Gone Crazy, a Marge Simpson Special.” Although some of you may know it better by the working title, “How I learned to make some real cash with Windows 7, Frontpage, MSN video chat and Hotmail.” I hope they don’t get wise.

I can believe the MS executives had never viewed this program, and having seen it had serious doubts. It was an advertising firms pitch that failed.

I am shocked just shocked
Not so much at goings on of “family guy” but Microsoft’s level of research
And yet we “cannot live ” without their new products
What a conflict !
And you thought that families of alcoholics had conflicts and problems of perception
