    Hmm ... PHBs are retarded. Yet they don't use Linux. I don't get it ... I thought the two went hand in hand.

    PHBs don't get chix. They might get desperate office girls looking for a promotion, but they certainly don't go to a nightclub and pick up the ladies. Most women are repulsed by those fatsos.

    it's strikingly similar to the liberal political bias in "higher education".

    students would be served best by an even presentation of the two or three (or more) competing options. unfortunately, many instructors only know what they have read, since they may have little or no real world experience.

    explore all options. sometimes Windows does make sense. sometimes Linux does, sometimes Unix does, and sometimes other operating systems do.

  8. why we use microsoft by pedicabo · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    When I was at college, most of our work was done on a VAX minicomputer using VMS ( sort of similar to Unix) and Linus was probably thinking about creating Linux.The few PCs we had access to, ran MSDOS. I used Wordperfect for wordprocessing,123 for spreadsheets and so on. I couldn't wait to get home to MS Office where every app spoke to the other, used the same keypresses, had a built-in help and actually used the colour monitor; i.e. it didn't just lineprint to a screen. That is why I chose windows with all it's faults. (will this one be offtopic or a troll I wonder).
