Windows Drives Company To OpenBSD

Barry Lyndon writes "Computerworld reports that the nightmare of windows is driving PriceWaterhouseCoopers, one of the world's largest accountancy and business consulting companies, to OpenBSD and open source in general." From the article: "'My predecessor spent too much [so] I was told not to spend any money.' When asked what argument he used to convince management to use an open source solution, Uemura said: 'They didn't have an argument because they said don't spend any money.' 'They trusted me,' he said. 'The whole office was relying on one domain controller which was dying.' Uemura said a lot of work was done 'behind the scenes'. 'My experience is that if something has to be done, just do it - don't ask! They will thank you later,' he said."

I dunno... I grab random mod points here and there, I look back at the comments and I'm just like "wtf? who modded that up, and why would they do that?"

Other times, I make troll/flamebait articles in jest, and get modded troll/flamebait then someone else who responds back to me just as harshly gets positive mod points, and again I'm left wondering "wtf?"

No, you didn't say it.

I'm giving representative dialog.

Because that's the percieved intentions that I received from yours and his statements.

I was frustrated at your assertion that I was the one in the pissing contest when I couldn't possibly have been a part of the pissing contest considering that it's stupid to walk into a pissing contest with the statement, "I can only piss 2 inches away."

Due to this frustration I'm placing dialog that represents the general denotation that I received from yours and his comments and building upon that I extended it into speech which is immature and childish, because it makes me feel better.

Not like I even care to continue this conversation at all, but since you insist on not taking the hint that I'm not even arguing upon any logical or rational basis, but rather resorting to tactics of mockery, that should indicate to someone who's sufficiently adept at recognizing implicit meanings that I don't even give a shit about you or your opinion anymore, I felt that it was necessary to layout explicitly that I don't give a flying fuck about you, and I'll attribute to you any god damn stupid childish speech that makes me feel better.

Stupid fucking assholes on slashdot get so god damn upset when you take them at an implicit meaning, that everyone here just kind of avoids implying anything out of anyone's speech, and then when you come across someone who actually uses implied speech to carry ideas and meanings, that you're so fucking lost you have to have an entire fucking rant posted in response to your stupid fucking piddly complaint.

READ INTO WHAT I FUCKING WROTE; if I didn't mean for it to imply some sort of meaning, I wouldn't have written it that way, fucktard.
