@TheFu: I have used unetbootin personally on 3 separate eeepcs and it has always worked just fine, forgot to mention that earlier. They were the original eeepc, but I wouldn't imagine that it would work worse.

@glaeven: No need to make one...you can get empty cases on the cheap at any computer parts store. You can get one for 15 to maybe 40 depending on how nice you want it to be.

@TheFu: I've never had issues using unetbootin when I use it in Linux. It's pretty straightforward and probably below you to give a how to, but if you have questions you can ask.

@Jeb_Hoge: Your usage case != everyone's. Some people don't have access to wifi. Some people use their phones to stream pandora on the way to work. Some people use nav all the time. Some people are just addicted to their phone and use it all the time.

Stonehenge shouldn't have been that hard to move. Hell dwarves almost trampled it!

@sigurrosuntitled: Riiiiiight. Trying to switch from one platform to another will be tough for the average person no matter what: my gf (windows only) can't even get around my macbook. My dad worked for Apple for 20 years and he constantly asks how to get around windows. And just because you couldn't put in the time…

@Dabamasha: Ya that's really the only privacy policy that works.

@DGTLHRT: My thoughts exactly...hearted back.

@DGTLHRT: Ya I agree, I'm doing a poor job of giving an example of someone who would find this helpful. Better example, some times I need to do some work in Linux, but other times I need to do it in Windows. I like to listen to my music while I work, but I'm not always sitting at my desk. External drive is an…

@Dabamasha: They've been caught selling it to advertising companies as well as "letting it leak" to companies. I haven't heard of them giving it to other people (though they have had plenty of issues with people getting logged into other peoples' accounts...), but who knows.

@Dabamasha: Ya the main problem is that Facebook does actively give out your info...so the privacy settings only get you so far.

@Arcane: Except would the ISP actually provide additional service so it doesn't hamper your speed? That money would just go into their pockets. They have plenty of history of price gauging and little history of sense.

@DGTLHRT: That then takes up three times the hard drive space. If you're talking about documents and a music library, there goes 300GB for me.

@Whitson Gordon: Not to mention Dropbox is not as cheap as metalhaze would like to believe. There are a lot more fun things I'd rather do with 240 bucks a year.

@sigurrosuntitled: Because you had a bad experience that means noone can be efficient with linux? Of course it isn't going to work right for everyone, maybe because they used the wrong distro, weren't willing to learn enough, or they just didn't feel comfortable. That being said, it's all about how you use it, I know…

@DGTLHRT: This actually wouldn't be nearly as hard as it seems. There are a lot of little steps, but it's not very difficult to pull off. The main benefit is you don't have to use the extra two steps of copying from say OSX to external then reboot and copy to Windows. It allows you to just move along as you normally…

@lewisboy: Easier? Yes. However, it does not do everything that this is doing.

@TheLouis: That is what I mean. You search South Park and it shows you all the episodes available. It doesn't matter if it's a local file, or from any website they all show up together.

@phiyuku: Well it's a different definition of indexing (not necessarily mine, but often used in the boxee world) so I could see how it could be confusing. If you think about it though, it's indexing the internet so it kinda makes sense...

@phiyuku: Does it? I was under the impression it didn't. What I meant is that I can search for a show (say South Park) and it will show any local files I have along with any episodes I can play from Southparkstudios or from comedycentral or clicker or whomever else has the episode. I don't have to go to each of these…
