2. Dos Palos
A really small town in the heart of California where everyone is related to eachother by blood or marrige. Football is huge here and so is gossip. A fair comes around every summer just before school starts, it has 2 rides. This is a time where all the recently High School graduated females bring their new born babies to show off to the incomming seniors and community. It's very hard to pick up your bags and continue your life else where. About 15% of the graduated students move out of the the central valley and then 5% of that actually come back to build their family here. Theres one bar in town, which is the thing to do for the 40 and up. Then theres "The River" for the 25 and under. The cops here are unfortunately crooked and the teachers might as well not have their degrees. It's all about who you know to get any job here.
Guy1: Whats there to do here in Dos Palos?

Guy2: We can go get mojos and watch a movie if the theater happens to be open today. Or just hang out in front of the doughnut shop or the pizza factory. Or ride around town in my dads lifted truck listening to country music.

Guy1: WTF I moved here from the bay area for this?!!

Guy2: Just wait, a girl will crawl up to you and then you guys will have babies you'll work at some factory while she goes to school online and both of you guys will show up to the summer fair with your new born and have arguments every week and throw house parties for high school kids.

Guy1: Fuck you that'll never happen

4. Linux
Linux is a free (as in libre, not always as in gratis) kernel that, together with tools from the GNU project, forms a stable, high-performance, multi-user operating system.

Its advantages over Windows are mainly ideological; it's free, usually in both of the above senses of the word, and the license, the GNU GPL, prevents proprietary implementations from screwing you over (Linux "companies" sell support, not Linux itself, for this reason).

It's also much more stable than Windows, owing to its stricter memory management, access controls, and hardware abstraction policy, and its networking performance is better since it's really meant more for servers than for desktop usage. Linux has finer-grained access control at the user and device level, though to be fair, Windows has had Unix-style file permissions since NT. Reboot times for Linux, however, are measured in months, and the only reason you should ever need to reboot Linux is if you installed a new kernel.

The disadvantages of Linux compared to Windows are mainly issues of ease of use. Linux is hard compared to Windows, mostly because it tends not to detect certain devices. This is a circular problem, because the drivers tend to be written only for Windows to begin with. It also, despite what the makers claim, *does* require some work at the terminal in most cases, and this will scare away most Windows users who never worked with Dos and the 9x series. It shouldn...
