Fire Congress

Why can't the republicans get it? Giving tax breaks to people and companies that make over six figures doesn't help the economy. It's been shown that they only put the extra cash in their pockets. I say this next election vote anyone who is an incumbent, congress approval rating has never been lower, they only listen to the corporate lobbyists and whoever puts the most money in their campaign funds.

Please don't listen to the right or tea party caucus, it is their fault that the economy is as bad as it is now. Stand up and do the right thing by voting out everyone in congress. They didn't listen to you so why should you listen to them. Congress goes on vacation when the economy is at its' worse in a century. In the last ten years the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Is this the America you want? I'm not a socialist or any other -ist but trying to get by now is next to impossible. If you're not already "in" then forget it, you will never be "in" and will struggle your whole life just to make ends meet. Education costs have doubled, health care costs have doubled what they were. Funny my pay hasn't increased, I haven't seen a raise since leaving the military in 2003

I should be grateful to even have a job? This is what I've been told, "at least you have a job". Puhleeze! I can't afford health insurance, have no savings, no retirement fund; and I should feel grateful?

We really need to fire everyone in D.C. Maybe if they are on the street looking for a job they'll finally get the message.

ChromeOS and Google

Google is going to help push linux further, people will realize that Microsoft isn't the only game in town.

Year of the linux, again

As was posted somewhere else, every year someone proclaims "this is the year linux....." blah blah insert expletive. The way I see it every year this century has been "the year of linux", especially since 2003 when Fedora came to light. The masses of linux distros has every year pushed the boundaries of open source computing and desktop use. It's not the leaps and bounds that windows users experience but incremental. Small steps is the way to go, easing your way into some new or innovative to do something. Ubuntu and Canonical push out two versions every year with better under the hood and visual mechanics, Fedora pushes it further with bleeding edge software twice a year. Mandriva keeps it simple and has in my opinion the best control center bar none, again with major updates twice a year. Instead of waiting three years and getting a ton of changes, risking breakage and driver issues; linux distros keep the tap open at a small trickle.

Finally got a job

Last year this time I finally started a job that required my degree, whew!

This job (I won't say where, not important) uses a mix of operating systems and other hardware. Thank goodness my supervisor is a fan of linux and likes to push for it when he can.

No new reviews

So that's it PCMag? Give up on linux?

Best Free of 2009?

You're kidding right? Three linux distros and you're done? So you just put them here to say "see we covered linux". Even for Ubuntu you didn't even have anything from 2009 and the link is for a review of 8.04?
