QuestionHello, i have come from Linux versus Windows talk page. You replied to my comment. I have a question regarding Linux: Nobody gets paid to write code for the GNU and Linux, how practical is that? i mean nobody can stay with Linux to earn. Even Linus Torvald gets paid to maintain the kernel therefore that keeps his interest alive. I read that in his latest interview posted at Slashdot. I only want to clarify that when there is no return for doing something then what are the implications in terms of its future? I figured this when i myself used Linux and found that it lacked the consistency that Windows provides in every department of operating system especially GUI, and i thought that because there is no incentive for writing GUI therefore Linux has no future or it will take very long for it to evolve as compared to Windows.

User Account Control and CPULockIf they can talk about, "in a manner very similar to that seen in Ubuntu Linux. In this way, only applications that the user trusts receive higher privileges, and malware is kept from receiving the privileges necessary to wreak havoc on the operating system." Exactly how should I have written the below? Please edit it according to what you think best, but the fact of thre matter is, I did make something just like UAC, but in my opinion, better. The only links I gave were that of 1, a funny video made by MAC about UAC, and 2. a video proving mine was out first. If I had a cabillion dollard to sue MS for using a proccess I patend, I would, all I am asking for is reconition, that I earned. Please edit the below according to what you think best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.78.180.94 (talk) 00:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I was about to delete it myself. The problem is that Consolas doesn't have any box-drawing characters defined (at least according to other websites), so Internet Explorer is substituting from other fonts. The result is that Consolas is severely limited in its monospace usefulness. It would be helpful if the Consolas page displayed the entire 713 glyph Consolas character set. Thanks again for deleting my editing. I will investigate more thoroughly before posting next time. Cape VerdeCape Verde was NOT previously uninhatited before being claimed by Portugul!!!!! These native people have a history of their own... A REVOLUTION!!!!! as well as their culture before it was disrupted by the Portuguese. How could you leave all this out? The natives have always been beautiful people, why not tell more about THEIR country? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.10.124.29 (talk) 13:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC) Comparison of Windows and Linux![]() Another editor has added the Hello from BlantyreWe're stalking your wikipedia posts via the tubes in Blantyre... ha ha ha —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.112.46.166 (talk) 21:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC) ProofsTubes eh. Sounds interesting. BTW, Thanks for your support on my adding of the proof. Personally, I have no problem with adding simple proofs since they allow users to see how topics work in conjunction, which is something a good encyclopedia should do. Personally, I think the Triangle Inequality article should be improved to stress it's relation to other vector spaces...I might read up on this and try and improve it in a while.

WikiProject:SoftwareClearTypeYes, intuitive is not the right word. Not sure how to express it. Keely (whom I knew at the time) had the idea for using the color subpixels. His implementation was not based on a scientific signal-processing analysis of the problem, he just wrote some code and realized that it had to do some smoothing. I don't believe he had any training at all in the technical issues.

This is regarding your recent "regular maintenance" edit on the list of Linux distributions article. It would be extremely beneficial for editors if the article clearly mentioned that the list is for "notable" distributions only, i.e. distributions which have their own articles on Wikipedia. I spent a considerable amount of time expanding the list, only to find out later from your edit that distributions without their own articles are not qualified for inclusion in the list. It would save editors a lot of hassle if it is mentioned in the list's article itself that only the distributions included in Wikipedia can make the list. Thanks. --CoolingGibbon (talk) 17:00, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
There is a consensus on Talk:Ubuntu. Why have you edited in opposition to it? Yworo (talk) 01:41, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
You were right to inform the user User:Krocht31 of the conversation there. But the user had an unfortunate response; to blank the section. While I reverted it, I feel like I should now add a warning to the user's Talk page. Is a uw-vand1 warning template appropriate, or do you know of a better template given the situation? Thanks. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 01:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
