IBM Desktop Linux Pledge, One Year Later
Blue writes "It's been more than a year since the bold announcement from IBM that they planned on dumping Windows for Linux throughout the company. InfoWorld is reporting that not all is well with IBM's desktop Linux push. What went wrong?"
Its difficult to stop a speeding train, even if its heading for a wreck.
That's right, linux faggot. Suck it down! Choke on your twinkiness. Every joke you make about Windows, every $ you use in MS, further marginalizes you in your own dingbat universe and stops you from wasting other peoples' time.
That, of course, means that you are a complete dingbat and have absolutely no clue as to what it is to do *real* work with a computer. Take a shower and get out of your mom's basement. Then maybe you might get a clue.
1.) Remove all file extensions
2.) Export registry into 40374 files and scatter them around hard drive for no reason.
3.) Remember to name those files random things, like trontabs
4.) Use a program to then scrable those letters
4.1) Remember to make all folders in the root only 3 characters long with no thought to human organization what-so-ever
5.) Downgrade to Windows 3.1 to get that box window feel (and jaggy-font feel)
6.) Get rid of your printer driver and use the standard linux one. All your ~ are now @'s
7.) Remember to type in lowercase
8.) Create batch commands JUST to copy a file!
9.) Run only text games because your graphics card doesn't have a driver for Linux
10.) Oops! You can't use the backspace key without editing a file in VI, which you dont know how to use anyway
11.) Realize Windows is easier and get your XP cd from trash.
You get my problem.
You notice how everyone who claims to be productive in Linux is always a dingbat Unix admin. You never hear of an artist, writer, or doctor say that Linux is the most productive computer he has ever used.
That's a good observation. Looking at the article we find bullshit and FUD feeding FUD,
According to one IBM employee, who asked not to be identified ...
that none of the sources dare state their name.
Oh, there's one that talks, Nancy Kaplan, an IBM spokeswoman.
IBM's Kaplan declined to say whether that goal had been met or not. "I don't know if there was ever a goal of 40,000 users. I don't know if there are 40,000 users," she said. "There's nothing mysterious about it, we're using Linux."
What a set up and pure FUD is flowing through the M$ Astroturfers telling us how hard it is to use Linux:
Which is what the ignorant are supposed to nod sagely at and agree that this must be what's causing IBM's non existant problem. Sewer overflow, a veritable crap flood if I ever saw one. Is there better proof that M$ fanboys (or employees) waste their time manipulating Slashdot's moderation system to mislead?
Here I sit, not having used Winblows in over a year and M$ free for four years. The install problems are so over that it is now easier to install distros like Mepis than Winblows ever will be, but that's not something I do often anymore because Linux does not break. The only media problem I have is Flash Trash. Everything else, including WM works great. Open Office deals with any kind of M$ garbage. KDE 3.3 is so far superior to any Winblows environment it's not even funny.
Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
"You get my problem."
That you exagerate?
Debian, Knoppix, schnoppix, blue hat. WTF?!
Your post is a prime example of how the Linux community just doesn't understand normal users and what it is they want to do with their computers.
Twitter, you're a petulant cock-gobbling sycophant to Linux Torvaldyos! Quit taking DP from ESR and RMS's feculent cocks and why don't you try to stop sucking quite so much? Get out of your parents' basement and see the real world - maybe then you'll see how pathetic you sound, with your neverending stream of bullshit about how Microsoft is stalking you. Wasn't it you who said that Microsoft believes your insane ranting is actually a threat to them, so they PAY PEOPLE to reply to you on Slashdot? No sir, I don't get any money. I do it for the love. Someone has to go up against your paranoid whining. So get back in your cage and shut the fuck up already.
