Hello.

i feel like we should all get together and watch the breakfast club or something. jesus christ this thread is drippy.

im super serial guys.

i wouldn't use sql if i were you. the technology is outdated and is barely in use anymore. only a few vendors support the technology until its end of life later this year. no real company still uses a sql database these days. sql is slow, inflexible, and overall lacking in relevance to any career plans you may have.

instead, i would use ajax.

muthafukkin GROK is going to be the devastatingly awesome python web development solution soon. you just wait.

i cant believe we gave you 2 a bid after rush week. we must have been hammered.

Because it's text based? If they were going for efficiency, HTML files would be complied like applications.

yeah, and we don't need comments in our source code, either

w3c can go and die. i wish ietf ran the web.

i thought everyone was being sarcastic...

naxa is a great brand

actionscript is wayyyyy too low

admittedly the video card drivers issue was a few versions back. the wifi issues certainly still exist. even if the card is "supported," often authentication is not. i can never get my lexmark or canon pixma printers to work. please don't tell me to buy a different printer; beggars (linux/minority operating systems) can't be choosers. my pro audio stuff (external usb and firewire devices)? not a chance those have any support. in essence, i have a machine with no network connectivity, no access to one of my primary creative uses, and i can't even print a goddamned paper off of it nor print it via the network. yeah, fuck you ubuntu.

does linux even support ipods reliably yet?

Ubuntu supports any atheros based wireless card with WPA/2, WEP, whatever right out of the box.  There are plenty of wireless cards that work. A lot of cards that AREN'T supported can even be used with ndiswrapper and the windows driver.  

But if I were buying a machine or a wireless card, I would probably check to make sure it was supported first.

I can't speak for your USB devices or printers, but I have had zero problems with mine, including an iPod, my iRiver music player, my cellphone, UMS devices, xbox360 controller, logitech dual action gamepad...

I'm sorry that Ubuntu/Linux doesn't work for you. There are a few lucky people out there for whom it does.  If you really want your hardware to be supported, feel free to donate to a project that is working on it, post a bounty, or get involved in some other way.  Or you can stick with Windows or OS X, and still be perfectly happy.   It's your choice.

let me clarify:
not a single printer has ever worked, not a single wifi card has ever worked. most graphics cards have worked as well as most sound cards. sound cards have worked out of the box while i had to compile most video card drivers. most usb devices have not worked.

If, the latest version of Ubuntu has failed to work with any of your hardware as you describe, you must have some of the shittiest, non-name brand hardware out there.

I find it far more likely that you're just trying to troll.

He just stated that WiFi doesn't work (A known weakpoint in Linux's driver support) and some USB devices don't work..it seems pretty plausible to me.

I think the key issue here is Out of the Box Support, and 2D/3D acceleration on Linux is hackish at best for some cards.

Certainly Wifi cards can be difficult.  However, stating that under the latest version of Ubuntu you had to "compile most video card drivers" has to be complete bullshit.

Maybe if 'most video cards' excludes Nvidia, ATI, and Intel cards, then well sure.
