Only a complete moron like Paris Hilton would think to take one of the most polluting vehicles and make a hybrid out of it.

All of New York City uses LED traffic signals and pedestrian crossing signals.

Yea Azureus is bloated but I like it because it has a ton of features.

Yea me too, the only time I reboot is for the occasional Kernel update or when I upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu (which come out every 6 months). The vast majority of updates don't require you to reboot or even log out for that matter, just kernel updates require a reboot. As far as comments saying Vista uses up 500MB of memory just to run, well I currently have two users logged in (including myself), one just running GAIM. I'm running Firefox 2.0, Gossip, CheckGmail, Mplayer and Azureus, all the while using a little less than 500MB of system memory! Now that deserves a wow.

You can use Gparted or when you open up Nautilus (the file browser), in the lower left-hand corner it tells you how much space is left in the drive you are viewing.

My Ubuntu PC has been running for about 10 days now.

Don't forget it gives Linux fanboys a stiffy too! I got one as soon as I read the article.

Yes, Ubuntu has plenty of features. But why do you keep comparing Macs to Windows PCs? I think Windows PCs suck just as much as Macs except Windows users can at least admit Windows blows. Face it, Mac's are designed to be very proprietary and for people with little or no intelligence, I mean computer experience, at all.

I was just using that as an example because you mention rebooting it 5x a day. My computer is always on, the only time I reboot is when I upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to another or if I have to update my kernel, which happens about every 5 months or so. There, happy?

Too bad for CNet I guess, I thought they would've been smarter than to use Outlook. Well Ubuntu has worked very easily for me. And as far as security, Linux is far more secure than Windows will ever be, it's just most IT people are lazy and don't wanna get off their ass and learn something new.
