Is It Windows 7, Or KDE 4? 559
An anonymous reader writes "Is it Windows 7 or KDE 4? In this video, ZDNet takes to Sydney's streets to find out what people think of what they think is a Windows 7 demonstration. The results are surprising." Or maybe they're not surprising at all.

I'll admit I fell for it. But in my defense, they showed it to me in the morning and I was really tired that morning for some reason. It's like someone switched out my usual high quality Columbian coffee with Folgers or something that day.

It is indeed surprising AND unsurprising.
The video ends with the two guys discussing "what have we learned today". FTFV:

I've got this pirate copy of KDE4.2... It's much cheaper than the original.

9/10 people polled also couldn't tell the difference between rabbit shit and deer shit.
And nine out of ten couldn't tell the difference between your statistics and bullshit.
That said it is a useful comparison.
Someone who is just walking in the woods probably cannot tell rabbit shit from deer shit. A tracker or someone dependent on hunting for food certainly will.
Someone who just needs to run a browser and word processor probably can't tell Windows 7 from KDE. Someone who needs to configure and administrate systems for an organisation certainly will.
Also 9/10 enjoys group rapes

That's a bug in your legal system. I heard you recently voted a new president who may submit a patch.
Then again, your system is so broken you may want to consider a ground up re-write.

I have the opposite problem. My wife won't touch linux but still wants to use my PC.
Then she gripes that it doesn't "automatically log in" or gives me the "we should share passwords".
I say to her, "Do you know shit about Linux?" "no" "THEN YOU DON'T NEED MY PASSWORD FOR SHIT".

Yeah, but it touches about 30 unrelated systems and runs magic code as root.

This is why I have no problem with my GF running windows. If it breaks, I don't know what to do with it anyway, so it's not my problem.

I linked my porn stash to a directory called .secret in my girlfriend's home dir.
She thinks she's clever for having found it, and gets some great ideas from the porn. It's a win-win.

It's actually worse than static. It's grabbing some chunk of uninitialized video memory. Only it's being displayed (normally) at a different height/width ratio, so it looks like junk.
Those images are still sitting in the video memory pool. So when I've popped up dialogs, what occasionally shows up are flashes of images that I've been viewing.
This is a Seriously Bad Thing when you've been looking at NSFW graphics. I'm not kidding, either - it's happened to me a number of times.
