Open Source Worse than Flying

george writes "In an article published on TheRegister, Otto Z. Stern makes the bold statement that "The only thing as goat-rendering awful as flying has to be the progression of open source code." Accusing Open Source of being buggy and its devolopers of preoccupation with mudane details."I'm sitting here...wondering when the Linux freaks are going to solve their Ubuntu versus Mandriva color scheme debate or maybe even write a printer driver so that something I buy actually works with my open sores PC.""

Re:Otis Stern is just upset because

If your windows PC is locked up it is because you are too dumb to unlock it, i run both linux and windows and there is nothing my linux box does that my windows box can not be made to do.

Most of the "blue screen of death - windoze sucks and is unstable" complainees haven't messed around with a windows PC since Win 95, man would you be scared if you actually took a look at what a technologically competent user can do with a windows 2003/XP/Vista box.

As for the BSoD, that only happens when you have hardware failure or install buggy drivers, the same goes for my linux box, it is just a multi colored graphics mess when that crashes.

Get out of your nerdy corner and realize that for normal people, the PC is just as exciting as the water/electrical supply system and how the traffic lights syncronize. People simply don't care and they probably shouldn't.

You find your PC's inner workings exciting, other people play with trains or model planes, stop forcing your interest on the rest of the planet's computer users.

Final rant, It's really nothing to be so upset about, there is much more to life than your chosen brand of operating system :-)
