A Strategic Comparison of Windows Vs. Unix
Ramsed writes "On LinuxWorld Paul Murphy wrote an article comparing Unix and Windows for a 500-student system and a 5,000-user manufacturing company. Summary: Most of the Windows versus Unix debate has been cast in terms of which is technically better or which is cheaper, but the real question is, 'Under what circumstances is it smarter to pick one technology rather than the other?'"
Look, one uncrashed computer does not prove reliability any more than one day without a murder does not prove that OJ is a valuable member of society. If you want to pick one computer as an example, I've got a Latitude C600 running W2K Pro that crashes at least once every other day. Does that mean W2K always crashes every other day, fuck no, that would be retarded, like you.
Moderate me down, because I used profanity and was rude to this FUCKING RETARD. I want to stress the point though, that if you want to know how reliable something is, you can't judge from one computer, or two, or ten. You need a couple thousand people, and you need them using it for different things. With one little lameass warez user, all you find out is if Quake, Wolfenstein, Morpheus, Nero and Sonique are stable.
btw, anybody else have the problem that if they play a CD with sonique on W2K, on a laptop, it ejects their computer from their docking station? (i shit you not).
The /. Paradox: No matter how idiotic/profane your post, you are guaranteed to get modded up if you simply say "mod me down".
Mod me down, motherfuckers.
Users don't avoid me, I avoid them. I lock myself in the datacenter, sleeping only 1 hour a night. It makes me sharp, it makes me understand the world. Everybody should sleep only one hour a night, for a month, the world would be a better place!
I don't call my coworkers anything. As long as they give me a full military salute in the morning, I leave them alone for the rest of the day. It's all I ask. I think I'm a very fair manager that way. I even make sure I pay the bitches almost as well as I pay the men.
I've met people like you too, fucking retards who can't tell the difference between fact and fiction, who assume everything they read is true, who live in a fairy world, where mean people don't exist, bad people don't exist and the government has never covered anything up!
People who can't tell when they're dealing with a guy who's all gooned out on god knows what, and entertaining himself by watching the reactions of randomly selected people to various stimuli, laughing at the very idea that these conversations could be serious.
but that's just my opinion, i could be wrong.
