  1. Lunix is ghey by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Windows XP is faster, more stable, and easier to use than any GAY/Lunix system will ever be.

    What is all this bullshit about Lunix being free, at sharereactor you can get windows and office for free also, so what is the bi difference?

    Tell us what you gave her!

    ChlamydiaOS 3.11, with the 2.4.18 kernel, patched with the HIV, HERPES, and WARTS patches.

    Given 9 months, I'd be willing to bet the bitch manages to install GNU/ShitMachine.

  3. You thief by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    With sites losing advertising revenue and today's high bandwidth costs, directly linking to a printable version -- with the entire article on a single page -- is tantamount to thievery.

    You might as well throw a brick through the window and loot the place. Thief.

    The fact that you're so soft that you had to post that with a disclaimer just reeks of LAMER!

    Once I save up enough money, I'm getting my mom a G5 with Panther + some apple gadgets. I'd never let my mom be tortured with linux or windows.
