@ChickenStickyRice: I remember doing the same thing with XP, it worked out ok, but the strain on the system was totally diferent compared to vanilla XP, but it's a mess, plus I don't like aqua.

@Benny Profane: I recommend for menu that you try cardapio it's great, I've tried mint, cairo, dockbarx, and many other but cardapio blows them out of the water. it's fast light and the development is highly active, plus it has a keyboard shortcut so you can use it like quicksilver or gnome do. this is the PPA

@Taylorc52: it will work but you have to download the deb for your version, I would really suggest that you update to 10.10 or at least to 10.04 if you want the LTS(long term support) personally right now I'm rocking 10.04 but 10.10 is great. But the gains Ubuntu has gained in the last year are leaps ahead of Ubuntu…

@Giant Speck: I know, they aren't they take inspiration from everything and just create an eficient simple design, so in essence it's the same thing MAC OS X is looking for in a UI design, so it's not surprising that 2 groups have reached the same result

@noizynet: SOme would say it's catching up very well, and I bet anybody it will surpass mac OS X in looks. If you modify Ubuntu just a little bit, it's more eficient, much faster and much prettier than OS X

Why do this, there are so many ways to make linux look good and by good I mean better than OS X, why copy it. Personally this is my linux setup and this is how it looks like, and to me the theme, and the congruency of the whole desktop and the icons look much better than OS X. You can use custom colors on the theme,…

@milkisgood: Exactly there is no real application for it. As you I have a macbook and I really don't see myself inclining the screen and using touch to input like a mouse, or a trackpad, it's slow and inacurate I just don't see it picking up.

@EClaus: You should the last releases have been real good, plus most games run on Wine now a days. Starcraft 2 runs perfectly on wine. Plus it's much faster than Windows, plus unified update manager plus tons of free software. All in a free package. I went full Ubuntu 2 years ago, and the last two releases have been…

@Isostar13: I would still buy the illegal, when you looking for shit, you want good shit, you know what I'm saying.

Why not just buy a cheap case, it only runs you 50 bucks. And if you want a prettier one just go for 100, you'll get better cooling and if you get a mini tower instead of a full tower you can save space.

@blyan-reloaded: Google doesn't sell every android phone. But it gets royalties from ads so i bet it's a lot of money. Plus in the end this android vs iOS is the same thing as Apple vs Microsoft in the end Microsoft won because windows could be installed everywhere and not just chosen hardware. The only diference is…

@DingoJunior: not really just manufacture a good chip and sell it at it's full potential just like always just like every other hardware piece. If you are crippling a hardware piece through software then why not just sell the whole chip, in the end if they don't buy the upgrade the customer gets to use it's entire…

@Cochese: Tanooki Suit Epic: Not really they are just crippling chips with software, say they make a perfectly good core 2 duo and limiting the amount of cores you can use and limiting the cache. Then charging you more for using the same chip, but without the limitation, they are not gonna start unlocking maybe…

@James Valentine: exactly, how is this business unless they are ripping you of from the beginning because you are selling the exact amount of silicon. It's basically applying software licenses to a hardware piece, when you actually own the hardware piece, software you own a license. But a crippled hardware piece is…

@DingoJunior: They are selling you crippled devices for a little bit less and charging you for uncrippling your device. If you are paying for hardware why buy it crippled, if it has potential I want to use it, and if it comes crippled it's in my right to hack it and achieve optimum potential because I bought the chip…

@DingoJunior: You really can't apply software licenses to something you actually own and is tangible.

@James Valentine: According to recent court rulings you have every right to hack a device to achieve it's full potential. So you basically have this in the bag. It's legal and it just has to be a hack I would do it without thinking about it.

They were very organized about the accidents they kept their original working hierarchy while in there so they were never disorganized.

@Brad Roth: Exactly software isn't the problem, you don't want to buy it you pirate it or use alternatives, but the game market, music market and books that's the real big problem imagine buying a book and not being able to resell to a friend or resell a book on ebay, ebay will go out of business because we won't be…

If anything this will just encourage piracy. If you don't really own it when you buy what's the reason to buy it, just download it and really own it. These people have no idea how this generation works, If you put barriers we don't care, we're gonna go over them. People are really not gonna care, maybe you won't be…
