I can't run it in a DOS window.
Let's have a close look at the costs involved when running a Linux system.
An important factor in Linux' cost is its maintenance. Linux requires a *lot* of maintenance, work doable only by the relatively few high-paid Linux administrators that put themselves - of course willingly - at a great place in the market. Linux seems to be needing maintenance continuously, to keep it from breaking down.
Add to this the cost of loss of data. Linux' native file system, EXT2FS, is known to lose data like a firehose spouts water when the file system isn't unmounted properly. Other unix file systems are much more tolerant towards unexpected crashes. An example is the FreeBSD file system, which with soft updates enabled, performance-wise blows EXT2FS out of the water, and doesn't have the negative drawback of extreme data loss in case of a system breakdown.
According to Linux advocates, an alternative to EXT2FS would be ReiserFS. Unfortunately, ReiserFS is still in beta stage. This means it is not intended for production use (although according to many Linux advocates this shouldn't be a problem, which makes me wonder how (little) valuable they find your data).
The other proposed 'solution', EXT3FS, is nothing more than an ugly hack to put journaling into the file system. All the drawbacks of the ancient EXT2FS file system remain in EXT3FS, for the sake of 'forward- and backward compatibility'. This is interesting, considering that the DOS heritage in the Windows 9x/ME series was considered a very bad thing by the Linux community, even though it provided what could be called one of the best examples of compatibility, ever. When it's about Linux, compatibility constraints don't seem to be that much of a problem for Linux advocates.
Back to Linux' cost. Factor in also the fact that crashes happen much more often on Linux than on other unices. On other unices, crashes usually are caused by external sources like power outages. Crashes in Linux are a regular thing, and nobody seems to know what causes them, internally. Linux advocates try to hide this fact by denying crashes ever happen. Instead, they have frequent "hardware problems".
The steep learning curve compared to about any other operating system out there is a major factor in Linux' cost. The system is a mix of features from all kinds of unices, but not one of them is implemented right. A Linux user has to live with badly coded tools which have low performance, mangle data seemingly at random and are not in line with their specification. On top of that a lot of them spit out the most childish and unprofessional messages, indicating that they were created by 14-year olds with too much time, no talent and a bad attitude.
I could go on and on and on, but the conclusion is clear. Linux is not an option for any one who seeks a professional OS with high performance, scalability, stability, adherence to standards, etc.
heh, this is a funny story.
I posted earlier, but goddamned, I ran into Rob Malda maybe three weeks ago and he is lugging around serious weight. Goddamn he has gotten really fat. Shit.

I gave my friend a good-bye hug and got on the bus and sat down. It began to fill up quickly and the only seat left was the one next to me. A deep, sexy, female voice asked me if the seat was taken. I looked up, and there was the girl I saw while checking my luggage! I silently cleared my throat and, in my radio voice said "No, have a seat." She smiled and said "Thanks, I will." She had only 1 bag with her and as she reached to put it in the baggage compart- ment above our heads, her skirt raised so far up that I could see the bottom of her delicious pussy. She wasn't even wearing panties! My teeth almost dropped onto the floor. She put the bag up there and sat down. She introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Tiffany. What's your name?" I smiled and said, "I'm (I had to think) Tom. Are you from Ithaca?" "No, I'm from Buffalo, you?" was her reply. I was amazed that she was from Buffalo. That meant that she would be sitting with me the entire 4 hour ride there. I told her of my place of origin and she made a comment on the coincidence.
The bus got ready to leave. The driver closed the door, made the usual pre-departure announcements, and we were off. As we left the station, the driver turned on the air conditioning. It took a few minutes to get back to where were sitting but when it did, I started to get cold. Tiffany did also. I could see the goose bumps forming on her perfectly shaped, tan thighs. After a while it got a little too cold for comfort. She asked me, "Are you cold?" To which I responded, "kind of." She said, "I've got an idea" and with that, got up and reached into her bag (again revealing her sumptuous snatch) and got out a somewhat large blanket. She said, "Do you wanna share this blanket?" It didn't sound like anything promising, but I replied in the affirmative. She draped the blanket over our legs and we rode on. I was a little disappointed because I now could no longer get a glimpse of those incredible legs of hers. But there was a plus to all this. She wouldn't be able to see my hard-on. She also brought down a magazine with the blanket which she promptly started reading. Realizing that she didn't want to talk any longer, I put on the headphones to the walkman that sat in my lap. When the tape was over, I took it out and wanted to get another one. I glanced over at Tiffany. She was asleep with the magazine in he lap. Anyway, I reached under the blanket to get my next tape from my back pack and inadvertently ran my hand down the side of her leg. Her skin was so smooth and the perfume she was wearing was making me horny. As I rummaged through my back pack for the tape I wanted, I felt her leg move up against my arm. I then put the tape in my right hand and ran my left hand back up her leg. She seemed to like it because she moved her leg up and down until I did it again. I moved my hand in a sort of circular motion on her knee and then moved up to her thigh. I stayed on the outside at first, then I moved to the front of it. I stayed there for awhile and then I began to feel adventurous. I casually moved my hand towards the inner part of her thigh about at the knee. I massaged that area 2 or three times and moved back a bit farther. I repeated this pattern until I was at about the middle of her thigh. I was getting very horny and my cock was extremely hard. Her legs were not completely together, but not far enough apart that I could try to massage her pussy. I decided to "test the water" and I moved my hand farther back until I was almost at the junction of her legs. She then rectified the situation of the lack of space between her legs by spreading them and slouching down in the seat. I couldn't believe it. I moved my hand to her pussy. It was very warm. I gently ran my hand around the surface of it to sort of tease her a bit. She started rocking her hips a little which was a definite sign that she wanted more. I began to put some more pressure on her pussy and it was clear she was aroused because I could feel her wetness. I moved up and down her outer lips and up to her clit. I started playing with her clit lightly at first, then increasing my speed and force. She started to breathe more heavily now and she was moving her hips against my hand. By this time I was hard as a rock and I moved my hand down from her clit and put my finger inside her hole. She loved that, especially when I put 2 fingers in there! She began to moan softly and she moved her hand to reach under my shorts and grab my rock-hard cock! I then turned my hand so that I could finger-fuck her and massage her swollen clit at the same time. She moved her pussy back and forth faster now to move with my rhythm. She grabbed me harder and started jerking me off. Finally, things got real hot, I turned to her and said, "Don't you think we should go somewhere more private so we can do all kinds of NASTY things to each other?" As I said this I moved my hand even harder and faster. She could only nod yes and moan in response.
I slowed down, then stopped. We got up and left the blanket, walkman, and magazine on the seats and headed for the bathroom. On the way back, I started to wonder if anyone would hear us. However, I remembered that the engine was back there also, so that probably wouldn't be a problem. We got in there and locked the door. I sat her up on the sink and we started kissing deeply. I started massaging her thighs with both hands this time and she began to moan in excitement. I whipped out my member (which by this time was hard enough to cut diamonds!) and moved it towards her. She then said, "No. Wait. I want you to fuck me but first I want you to eat me. I wanna have my first orgasm in your mouth!" I then proceeded to remove her top and her big, beau- tiful tits popped out. She wasn't even wearing a bra (like that was a big surprise). I stopped thinking about the issue of her dressing style and set to my task. I moved her hips forward onto the sink and got on my knees. I put my mouth up to her inviting tuna taco and blew on it. She liked that alot. I did that for a minute or so. Then I started licking the insides of her thighs and stopped right before I got to the intended target. I did this a few times and it drove her absolutely nuts! I finally started licking her cunt itself. She was one of those women who doesn't even have an odor except for the baby powder that she must have used when she showered. So, upon discovering that she had no alarming scent, I dove right in there. The sudden change from almost no licking to what I was doing now made her twitch and moan loudly. I flicked her clit with my tongue and stopped occasionally to catch my breath. I then took her clit into my mouth and sucked on it. I could tell by her hips bucking that she was gonna come! I didn't want her to just yet. So I turned my atten- tion to her hole! I put my tongue in there and moved my head back and forth so that I could literally fuck her with my tongue. When I felt that now familiar bucking of her hips and her grabbing of her tits and screaming, I stopped. I faked that I was out of breath so that I could get my hand in position. After seeing that she had calmed down, I took my middle finger and stuck it in her hole and started sucking on her clit at the same time using my teeth. I did it hard and fast. She started screaming again and she was gonna come! I thought of stopping again, but I was so horny for this girl that I wanted her to spill her female juices of love all over my face. And that's exactly what she did! I licked and swallowed until I got every last drop. After I got to my feet and started massaging her tits, she grabbed my cock and said, "FUCK ME!"
Boy, what a neat idea. Why didn't I think of that? I told her that since she was holding on to my rod, she could put it in. I grabbed her by the waist and, as soon as my cock was in position, thrusted up inside her. The combination of the action while we were in our seats, the recent adventure of the tongue, and the anticipation of fucking her brains out was almost too much for me. I moved back and forth at a good speed which made her squirm and scream with ectasy! She leaned back and grabbed onto these 2 handles next to the mirror. When she did this, I bent over and, while fucking her, started sucking on her jugs. She was wet, wild, and willing! Speaking of wetness, I could feel my hot cream welling up getting ready to explode. I didn't want to come yet. I wanted to save it for the very last wave of sex. However, she didn't want to save it, she started gyrating and almost hollering! I could feel her orgasm come out in one large tidal wave. The warmth of her juices surrounded my red- hot meat slab. I slowed down a little to allow her to calm down. She looked at me and licked her lips. She said, "OK stud, your turn, sit down!"
I climbed out of my shorts and sat down on the toilet. Then, she stepped out of her skirt and knelt down in front of me. My cock was standing straight up. She took it in her left hand and started massaging my nuts with her right hand. As she did this, she started licking the length of my cock and darting her tongue back and forth on the head. It was driving me absolutely crazy! Then she took it all in her mouth with one swift movement. She started sucking on it like it was a straw,desperately trying to get the juice out ofit. I was going absolutely wild. This girl could probably suck a golf ball through 20 feet of garden hose! Finally, I could feel myself about to come. I didn't want to just yet, but her talented mouth on my wankie was not about to let me hold it back. I started fucking her mouth like it was her pussy and shot my load into it. She was so happy that she made me come all over the inside of her mouth, that she started to moan real loud and greedily swallow and suck.
After I lubricated her mouth with my hot cream, she stood up and I grabbed her by the waist and, making her straddle the toilet seat and my legs, positioned her box right over my pole. When she was properly placed, I grabbed her ass cheeks and pulled them towards me to wrap that cunt of hers right around my dick! She began grinding and moaning and I grabbed her hips and grinded her faster. I was so hot for her, that I didn't care how fast we went, as long as we kept on fucking. Her pussy felt so good around my cock. It was so soft and satiny inside and it was rubbing on all the right places on me. She stuck her chest out and I started sucking on her tits again. It didn't take very long before she started howling and exploded into yet another orgasm. I was close behind her with my jet spray of sex juice! We slowed down and let the motion of the bus control our movements while we relaxed. Then I kissed her deeply and said, "It's not over yet Tiffany, it's time for the grand finale. Stand up."
As she stood up, I leaned forward and started eating her snatch for about 30 seconds just to get her going again. Then I stood up, turned her around and had her put her hands on the toilet seat. I rubbed her ass first with my hand, then with my cock. After a few minutes of this, I stuck it in her pussy. Then after a minute, I put one hand on her clit, and one hand on her tit. She grabbed her other tit and started screaming and slapping her ass against my thighs. She couldn't control herself. I asked her if she liked being fucked that way. She could only respond "Oooooooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeah!" The sexual pleasure from my fucking her, rubbing her clit, and having both her tits played with at the same time, made her start to cum continuously. I could also feel my hot giz begin to boil. I knew I was gonna cum any minute. It was gonna be the best orgasm yet. I wanted hers to be too. So as I could feel myself start to cum, I started fucking her faster, rubbing her clit harder, and kneading her tit more forcefully. She did her tit more forcefully too. Well, this did exactly what I wanted it to do. In fact, we both exploded into such an orgasm, that it left us shouting at the top of our lungs for at least a minute. That may not seem like a long time, but when you're doing it, it does. We were screaming so loud that I'm sure the entire bus could hear us, but neither of us cared.
When we finished, we did some "afterplay" to gradually bring us down from that "high" we were on from all that wondrous copulation. We got dressed, opened the door to the bathroom, and walked back to our seats. As we were walking back, a guy looked up and me, smiled, and gave me the old "thumbs up" routine. Obviously, he heard us.
The bus pulled in to Buffalo. We got off the bus and got our luggage and went inside the bus station. As we waited for our rides to pick us up, we exchanged addresses and phone numbers. She asked me if I wanted to get together sometime soon. I said, "You bet! I've got an in-ground pool and my parents are going out of town next month." She smiled and licked her lips. My ride arrived and we said goodbye.

You're drunk? Oh, getting drunk is fun, isn't it? It feels really good to drink until you can't control yourself anymore. Who needs a sound mind anyway? And getting drunk will make you look like a real stud with the girls, too. That's the part I like about it best. It's fun to get drunk, that's for sure!
Where is the 'ad blocking' feature?
