Geekylinuxers just don't get it because they live breathe Linux code!
I been fiddling with Linux back and forth since 1991, i'll be like "oh! Great
Free OS - let me check it out - I started with Caldera OpenLinux, read 10 pages and
had a headache formatting and mounting and setting the portion, then finally
got it running - browsing throw all the settings like as if it was a
calculus formula. Then time passed played around with other distributions
out there, because there was nothing you could do at the time on the system, games where my thing. Came the day when Ubantus 5 was flashed on the scene, I was
again exited - finally I said a Linux distribution where I could 1 2 3 install it
and have everything Windows desktop has to offer but for free and much cooler, so i
had it running great in the beginning, easy setup - but then i wanted all the codec's so i could play my movies and my streamed tv shows, watch my star trek movies in divx format - so what i had to do?! I had to search Google on how to install the codec's, here
we go -wget- this - wget- that, the servers would stall, the servers would work, retry
again and again because you would not have a clue if files would have been completed
, so great u pass the part were you get your
codec's and u test your video players , great it works its accepted, then u try your
streaming tv shows, oh great it aint working, but u say ok its accepted will fiddle around
later, then you say oh i need the Video driver cos its not detected my video card right and
its not using its full potential, oh so go get the driver, installing it from the distributing
package you find out that its not complete! What you mean it's not complete..."well you need to twick the nuts...what nuts?...the 3RD NUT (3D)...so i play around and twick the nuts and read the instruction and compare instruction people write in calculus code out there and you complete the config file and you restart the system, and still you did something wrong but you tell yourself I did follow the steps and it should load the 3d driver - then u test your video player and you find out that the driver has f****** the codecs and now my star trek its f**** all "penalized" and its slow motion (damn no going minus warp speed LOL), so you twick the nuts again and guess what?? CRASH! Sorry Mr.Windows User-we have detected you are not our friend so we crash your Xserver, so you find yourself in this Universe where bad memories on past Blue Screen - so you try to reconfigure the x server throw this prompted screen..where I'm found back in MSDOS...aaaaaaaaaaa..after all the pain you get to the stage....where me say.....you know what? F*IT. You go look for that
CD that say XP boot it up format that crap and wipe all that coz you just
wasted all day trying to install Linux....WOW! What a mental stress! Back to Windows for me!
I conclude that the day Linux would be popular on the desktop is the day i install
something and it f*************** works! I don't need to freaking twick it all day!
Give me all that i got on windows desktop but make that s****** work! I DONT WANT
to do calculus formulas to make it work!
So stop the insanity with all this fuss about LINUX Desktop, the simples things that should work on Linux are far from the casual Windows user that would like to try it out!
If they (linux distributors) would just experiment with a newbie, have someone - a developer stay next to a new to linux user and find out why he gets stuck in trying to install or config linux than they would realize that things that sound and are simple to a Linux experienced user need to be differently tough and coded. Simplify everything that people do today on the net and on their computer from music, to movies to games...etc - should be running out of the box once clicked and installed for the 1st time! If not there should be simple packages that I click and it f**** runs, not explode!
You know in America most people drive Automatic, I don't want to drive stick shift as Linux is! So you can comment with anything, my true believe Linux it's not ready yet!
Its like a beautiful exotic flower, it blossoms rarely and then it petals fade quickly and you have to wait for the next season to blossom again for a moment in time!
Everything you say makes sense, but what is the chance if you are using someone else' wifi broadcast that you will be sharing. This was done intentionally - I consider this a setup, I mean most people don't have a clue about there wifi routers, so to be able to catch your neighbored that means you indignantly didn't secure your network (router) just to prove something or publish to your nation what's to come for dose that don't respect a regime rule LOL! Man, this nations with there rules are like ticking time bombs.
How did they find this kid? I mean it sounds like the person with the open-network had no clue or didn't know how to secure his network, the question is how did he manage to find the neighbored who was piggy riding on his wifi?
I mean what's the method of finding who's your piggyback rider, after that how do you point to him or walk up to him? It most has been a joint operation for blaming this kid.
Was the owner calling someone with experience to come to his home and help him look it up, or was it one of dose days where your best friend with computer skills comes by and tells you that your network is not secured and he dose a check and finds out other computers are connected to your network. Dose he decides to pursue further to find more info?
Hey, I got my rod and tackle box ready! Did someone say Mission Impossible? Sierr!
Then again that dream I had last night about the Loch Ness Monster, reeling it in, that was a nightmare - call that a mission impossible!
Ops, Sorry off the topic!
Just that "gone phishing" triggered ME memory path, and my instincts just wondered off with imagination.
