Windows XP EULA Compared to GPL

Posted by michael on from the one-giveth-and-the-other-taketh-away dept.

    "Voila! Apples are different from Oranges" said American Agricultural Research magazine today.

  2. Mono SUCKS! by Mr.+Underbridge · · Score: 5, Funny
    Just do a little searching on Sam Varghese and see what an idiot this supposed journalist is. His articles are little more than the whining of an ill-informed, angst-ridden gadget-geek.

    His "article" on Mono, for instance. [smh.com.au]

    Man, mono sucks, I dunno what your problem is. First time I tried it, I got it from my girlfriend, and I couldn't even get out of bed for a week. Damned doctor had to run all kinds of tests on me. I tell ya, I don't ever want to try using mono again.

    If this guy says .NET is worse than mono, that's pretty bad. I don't know what this .NET thing is, but it sounds like plague or polio or something.

    >Hang your head in shame!! You call yourself a geek??

    Someone who knows the AD&D reference but misses the business reference? I'd let him keep the geek status....

    More like apples and turds, in this case...

    But turds are the industry standard. Besides, a billion flies can't be wrong...
