OMG! I totally LOVE Piers! He so fancy, even when drunk!!! -
The sad reality is no. You have to remember that the reason why arcades in the 80s basically existed in the first place is because that was the only venue to play those games. I agree with Robb, and because he does know his poop, this won't bring on a resurgence, BUT "barcades" are coming on to the scene. Which is exciting if you're in a city that has one, and you're old enough to drink. (Many of the bars here are installing pinball and video game classics, and some dedicating all their free space to it!) It's an awesome new trend, that the Tron movie won't hurt. (And yes, the pub down the street from me has a Tron video game!!!) ANYWAY, back on topic... LOVE this idea. I'm not much of a Disney park fan, but uber-curious to see what they do. I was a huge Tron fan as a kid, and I love dance clubs.

Just when you think "TRP trip reports, they're awesome, but how can they top what they've already done?" And then here, miraculously, you have created another "OMG, BEST TPR PTR! EVAR" Piers is just soooo fancy! -

Wow, let's encourage everyday idiots to take their cell phones on rollercoasters to take pictures of themselves. Was SF and MetroPCS on crack when they thought of that ad campaign? Thanks for the photo update! Great stuff! -

I think what is so awesome is that they kept so many trees. Kudos Kennywood!!!!!! Cant wait to see this thing test. -
I currently run a dual boot with Windows 7. Ubuntu is on a USB hard drive, and it's still amazingly fast. I like having both, but wish I could just drop 7.

I'm not an "everyday" user yet, I still have things like music production and video software that's only available on Win/Mac. But I love everything else on it. In your case, you're doing a pretty nerdy thing, so it would be expected to have to get "technical" with an issue. And I'd say we are advanced enough to handle it. I do like running a local apache/PHP/MySQL and testing out scripts on the fly, but I expect problems like you explained. Ubuntu is made for "easy use" for a general audience. We far surpass that title, and we tend to download software that's beyond the norm. If someone just does web, email, office, gaming, photos, simple video, and music, (which is most people out there,) I feel Ubuntu is a great and much safer/faster/better alternative to Windows.

here's a shot of the installer, in case it's been different in the past for you... Ubuntu 10 software installer
-
It's has it's own software installer, just pick a program from their server and click install. It's just too easy, in my opinion. I believe the updater also watches all installed software as well. Very well done, and totally beats windows in that department! EDIT: I totally misread your question. The answer would be yes. But the process is quite automated.

OK, I just shed a tear from those last set of photos. Especially the Li'l Dipper at KW!!! -
Hi gang, Just wondering if anyone else is using Ubuntu 10 here. (Running 64-bit version here!) I've been using it for a couple days now, and I'm REALLY impressed with it. It's the first time I've seen a Linux distro run so smooth, and with minimal install effort. And for the first time, I feel that it COULD replace windows for some people. I've used Linux on and off since 1993, and it's come a LONG way. What do you think? Questions or comments about the OS? Talk to me!

Actually, the 2nd will probably be WAY more crowded than the 4th. At least, that's how it was when I worked there. Holiday weekend had killer crowds, except for the actual holiday itself. -
