so which console triumphs over the other and why? Personally I prefer using a powerful computer coz the graphics are way much better.

Your update has been really helpfull coz it all comes down to what you want to accomplish. So do I have to partion my hard disk in order to install more than one OS? I want to install windows 7 and ubuntu but my comp has 2 partions, one with windows and the other contains my backups (bad idea, I know, give me a while to buy an external hard disk).

wow, if you lived near me I would have bought you lunch for such a good point. I totally agree, quality comes first,even if it has a price.

I totally agree, cant imagine getting an equivalent of microsoft tools like visual studio on linux. Mono is cool but lets face it, visual studio is way superior.

nice answer. It truly depends with what am doing here's a little bit more info, am more interested in programming. Does linux have nice software like pdf readers, music players/codecs,antivirus,games and others that you can easily get on windows? P.S nice signature,really got me thinking

Thanks, linux users are usually heard ravin on how secure the OS is but I don't believe them. I think that the only reason few viruses exist for linux is because many hackers dont find it rewarding to attack an OS thats used by a significantly lower number of people. What do you think?

So today I faced off with some guys who were all in favor of linux and being thoughtless I defended windows 7. Never felt so stupid as they all laughed at another microsoft die hard. Is linux (read ubuntu) so good that windows 7 looks inferior? Come on, its windows 7 we're talking about! What's so good about linux (other than being free) compared to windows? And all windows fans, what's so good about windows compared to linux. Please kindly don't turn this into a hate thread coz my aim is to find which is better in terms of security,programming experience,support, and just anything else you can come up with.

ok, now it's personal. Dude, do u know how many classes r out there?

After pouring my heart out while learning c# from scratch someone comes up with the brilliant idea that my programming class has to be in java ! Learning a new IDE all over again (so how exactly do I add a form/window in this netbeans IDE?) is not quite appealing if you haven't even torn apart the previous one. Did I mention there's a whole new set of class libraries to learn? I can see that java sdk grinning, so you think you've worn? I don't think so, armed with java 4 dummies its time to rock this thing the old school way, tear it apart till I get this exception "I, the java runtime, has given in, hope you're happy coz am about to crash". But until then i'll be pretty much whining trying to find an equivalent of "console.ReadLine ()". I hope noone is having to learn a new language in 3 days like me. If by any chance some poor bloke is, all the best coz who said it can't be done.

To get the probability of getting 3 numbers correct just take the total number of selected values divided by the total number of balls. This gives 3 divided by 80 , not 20. The probability of getting 6 numbers correct is therefore 6/80. To determine the probability of your lucky numbers appearing in any number of consecutive draws take this following example. Whats the probability of 3 of your numbers appearing in four draws? Its simply got by multiplying individual probabilities by each other. So the answer should be got by getting (3/80)cubed or raised to power three, ie, (3/80)^3 if you have the zeal and will, i can make you a more elaborate c# software showing the workings of probability in action free of charge but it will take a while.
