A Continued Look at Linux vs Windows
Rogier van Vlissingen writes to tell us Paul Murphy has an interesting writeup on his blog about the continued Linux versus Windows debate with regards to some of the recent insights provided by various groups. From the article: "Disinformation comes in three major forms: innocent mistakes, intentional disinformation (aka FUD), and (self) delusion. Delusions are easily the most dangerous of these. In the IT context the most common delusion is simply that what we know is right in general or applicable to some specific issue when, in reality, it isn't. We know, and we act accordingly - with frequently catastrophic results."
Next you'll be telling me that taking medical advice from LiveJournal communities is a bad idea . . .
Pretty Pictures!
As long we're making arbitrary, over simplified judgements about which OS is supperior, why not base our decisions on their mascots? I think the SuSe iguana wins hands down. Linux 1, Windows 0
It makes real cupcakes, with a 40 watt bulb, and there's icing packets....but the secret ingredient is love.
it's like windows update, except it doesn't take seven years to release security updates.
"linuxuser6929 posted in slashdot that 'windows sucks! l@m3r!!!'. What do you htink about this?"
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
I was gunna mod this something bad, but then I thought, if slashdot is gunna spam me with these crappy articles, people should make the most of it and spam with crappy offers.
Seen this one so many times I'm not even going to read it. Here is what it says:
Most people use windows, and are ignorant.
Linux used to be rough, but is growing fast.
Linux is better than Windows in 4 of 5 ways (take your pick).
People should use Linux.
It is now Linux's time to shine, in fact, 112% of computer users will switch to Linuxin the next 4 hour.
Saved you 15 minutes.
Go ahead, mark me a flamebait, but even I (I use OSS software and OS all the time) get tired of these repetitive and incredibly biased compairisons.
Mired in Zealand? Isn't that Naw'leans's problem now? See, if they had just switched to Linux the city wouldn't have flooded!
Apparently making slits in your wrists helps cure pimples.
So what your saying is that he's your average Slashdot reader.
