I have OpenSSH running on my machine at home and frankly I'm more concerned of getting stabbed in the neck by Jesus himself than a man-in-the-middle attack with a success rate of one in 262,144. I wouldn't be if I was google.com, but then again I'm not so I think I'll sleep well tonight without even checking my OpenSSH version. Thanks.
Seriously, 1GB RAM for 10 bucks doesn't exist. Plus going all budget like this usually ends up in a shit system worth slightly less than shit itself. It would be better to buy a second hand PC which intially was powerful, instead.
Calling someone nigger is not racist. Implying that niggers are less capable as humans while referring to blacks as niggers is. You'd think people whom like to use certain words would put a little more effort into finding the true meaning of those words, but no.
How the hell can you mod this down!? Throughout the whole argument he's saying that the only choice is to buy a new PC, but he changes his mind in the end and sneaks in the more obvious choice for a person that has virtually no IT knowledge, ask your local vendor. They will order the part, replace it, and all you do is pay. Fucking hell, how can you not get that!?
Wait what? My argument is based on the fact that he DID have a clue, and gnashers argument is that even if he DID have a clue he would end up buying a new PC because that's the only choice he has since he doesn't know how to change a hard drive, unless he pays for the service, which clearly states that his only choice is NOT to buy a new PC but that he can actually pay for the service as well and this would in the end be a lot fucking cheaper than buying a new PC. Try reading the comments before commenting on them, seriously you look silly, thanks.
Haha what!? You build up an entire argument based on the fact that his only choice is to actually buy another PC and then shit on your own face in the end? Why!? Of course he should pay someone to fix it, if it's a perfectly functioning PC with a missing hard drive, why wouldn't he!? You're weird man.
Not to mention ADSL modem, there's no such fucking thing. Modem = Modulator/Demodulator, a simple AD-converter. There's no AD-converting in ADSL. ADSL is solely digital.
Well how about this. You, as an IT knowing guy, tell your friend, the retard, that his hard drive is broken. Instead of buying a new hard drive, he buys a new PC, on your recommendation. Language is language and it's important that we are all synced.
I was wondering why the guy was so caught up in this bullshit about fonts as if it was the alpha and omega of an OS, then I noticed the URL. One clearly sees what the guy knows about, too bad fonts is about the least of our concerns.
This is the work of a guy who initially had a good idea (to make devs aware of the holes and have them fill them) but then got caught into the listing and thus began the fill-out bullshitting you do when you write an essay for your teacher in high school.
I won't quote the points because that will make my post look very long and we all know/. is full of lazy asses such as yours truly. However...
0. This is not a problem of Linux nor does it have anything to do with Linux being ready for the desktop or not. This is solely a matter of ideology, which Linux stays neutral to. It promotes FOSS but never forces it. 1. This is a matter of hardware. I've had problems with my sound twice in Linux, once when I had a creative live 1024 (I know, but I learned from my mistake) and once when I had a USB headset back when USB audio was fairly new. Same goes for the sub points, however 1.3 is a vendor problem that affects Linux. Vendor problems affect Windows as well, nobody blames Windows for those. Peri-fucking-od. 2.1 I don't really understand this one. I have hundreds of GTK applications, all which work just fine. 2.2 Composite is the new desktop. Make peace with it or be information technologically retarded. 2.4.3 There's alot of points about fonts, which I cannot say are true or not as I really am not that into fonts. However this point is merely a matter of opinion. 2.4.3.2 That's because MS owns those fonts. Should dists pay MS to use a handfull of fucking fonts? Get the fuck out of here man. That's the dumbest shit I've heard. 3. This is a matter of mentality. The common user isn't accustomed to the freedom of choice, thus the new Linux user needs to rewire his brain. This is a part of Linux which cannot be changed because it is the very fundaments of it, and nor do we want this to change. Important side note: when using Linux, don't think Windows. K? Thx. 3.3 In a perfect world. It's pretty fucking close already, but Utopia doesn't exist. Impossible demand, next. 4. This can be applied to a certain extent but if you strive to do this fully you'd end up with more problems than what the GUI was going to solve. People can learn the ping command, no need to assume that they are retarded vegetables. 5. This is a self solving point as stated. We realise the issues at hand but only by allowing Linux to grow can these issues be resolved. We're all anticipating. 7. See above statement. 8.1 Most distros? Then don't use those "most distros". Not all distros are aimed towards you, make sure you find one that is. 11. See point 5. 13. In comparison to what? Windows? Really now, don't even get me started.
Yeah use the poor as guinea pigs, that's a good idea.
"Since you're poor you can have this broken test version, I know it will be frustrating constantly bumping into broken applications but hey, you're poor so be glad you even have computers. Oh yeah one more thing, if you start making money with this we will hunt you down like the animals you are."
Nice message to send to our fellow humans. Very nice.

I'll be damned.
Or 12 monkeys in Bruce Willis for that matter.
Wait -- what?
Summary? Common fucking sense would've sufficed.
I believe Microsoft finally changed the defaults in Vista.
It's Vista, your first conclusion should be "they broke it in Vista".

It's always nice to see wild animals in their natural environments.
Except they fucking cut it in half. 47 million years and it was never, not even once, severed, until ink stained cotton sheets were in control.

Would you look at that. I stand corrected. I was taught otherwise, in school to add. +1 informative.

England doesn't have such a body. It was offered but there was a lack of interest.
Are you saying they have nobody?
...UK strikes again...
Fixed it for ya.
Murphy reincarnates and explodes.

That will be brought back as item one once they've been manipulated into choosing MS.
Oops, three strikes. You're out!
Indeed, you should never try to fuck linux, nor any other OS residing in your PC. This is what happens when schools stop their sex ed programs people.
