I just downloaded 2.3.46 and I can't find any gui in there at all, never mind buggy ones. Which buggy gui are you talking about? the make menuconfig curses gui interface works pretty good since 2.0!
This is totally true, different distributions of linux come with different optimizations in their kernel configurations. Eg: default USE_DMA configured in the IDE controller section.
Anyone that runs thier Linux server with a default kernel is a fucking moron. When was the last time you optimised your NTKernel ?
I don't run KDE and gnome at the same time, hell I don't use either. I can even run Linux without X. Where in Windows 2000 can I disable control panel? Or choose to not have Internet Explorer load itself in memory when I boot up? Why does a Server OS need a web browser, or even a gui for that matter? How can I recover all that memory that is no longer available because Win2k just shit on it? I can manage my resource hungry aspects of my Linux machine, its not possible to do that on Win2k. You see all those Win2k bugs but there is no workaround, you are going to use it and you are going to like it.
I thought Microsoft had sent all thier employees to Whistler this weekend to celebrate Win2k with a ski weekend, unless you guys brought your laptops and are sitting in your hotel rooms listening to NSync and trolling slashdot.
I managed to crash the event viewer and the telnet administrator thingys in Win2k RTM Professional edition. Then I nuked the Win2k partition and recovered disk space.
Maybe JOE DIMWIT shouldn't be using Linux if he doesnt know how/etc/inetd.conf, or what a daemon is. Hell maybe he shouldn't even be using a computer at all, then again thats what MicroSoft made Windows for.
MicroSoft Windows is made for these people (your words): "doesn't have a fucking clue" "He's so fucking braindead that he doesn't know that there is no "help" command" "The first thing that comes into his peanut sized brain is a burrito when someone mentions tcpwrapper to him."
just keep repeating it enough times and you will believe it. Open Source is bad security. Even Linux admits this. Look at all the problems with Quake 1 and cheating. Case proven.
Look Bill, just because they didn't write it for Direct3D doesn't mean you should bash it. Get informed at http://quake.sourceforge.net.
You are saying that if a file is using mp3 compression then its illegal??? I sure hope you are a lawyer -- check out how Microsoft has encoded the sounds in Age Of Empires 2:
Hi bill? Whats up? We havent heard from you much lately in these forums. The university I graduated from last year just got a deal from your company, and now they offer a full hands on MCSE course. The downside is that it costs fifteen grand. I don't think so, bill.
As a Slackware Linux user, I use/usr/bin/vi to configure my linux init scripts. Get it ? linuxconf ? I had to help a guy fix his Slackware installation after he nuked it with the Slackware port of Linuxconf. Long Live BSD-Style Init!
Most packet kiddies use OSS-DOS, the kind that install redhat just to be cool and manage to get thier hands on an exploit in rpm format. Or even worse are those that run linux distributions on their fat32 partition with linux.bat
Make linux harder to install and harder to use so these packet kiddies and warez d00dz stop using it.
They also are perfectly willing to squash competition, screw up their licensing systems, charge absurd fees, etc, etc... Speaking of absurd fees, I caught this week's Future Shop advertisement in the local newspaper (Future Shop is a Canadian appliance/stereo/computer megastore). Windows 2000 Professional Upgrade Edition* is $329.00 Yes thats right, $329.00 My friend was interested in getting Windows 2000 legitimately, not pirated, and he nearly exploded with fury. "Yeah I'm going to not eat for a month so I can run Windows 2000!" So his options are continue crashing his Windows 98, or pirate Windows 2000. He isn't Linux savvy, so thats not an option. Microsoft is causing piracy with these prices. I'll sure recommend against Win2k to everyone I come across. *(professional is the NT4 Workstation equivalent, the upgrade means you must be running Windows 3.1 or higher to install it, meaning you have already paid a Microsoft tax)
Yes, I work at an ISP and have had users call and complain that AOL deleted their DUN to our service after they installed it. Maybe we should start sending AOL a bill for all the hours we have to spend on the phone recreating the DUN that AOL deleted?
Well since you do work at an ISP, you would know that "the DUN that AOL deleted" is called a "connectoid".

Fork Bomb Defuser is an easily loadable kernel module for Linux which detects, logs, and disables "fork bombs". It allows you to configure max_forks_per_second and max_tasks_per_user parameters at module load time. Any possible fork bomb that attempts to spawn a huge number of processes simultaneously is detected in real time, and the fork bomb is disabled.
All of your predictions follow a linear thinking pattern. Nothing is linear, even on a local scale. Quake26? Latest 3D graphics card? Try again. Try harder.
Remember, even though we (the tech-savvy users) would like to drive the evolution of technology, it is the suits and the phb's that do. DVD is an ideal model of this. We want tons (GB's) of space on a removable disk. We got it, only, we can't write it, and we can't back it up. Not to mention that those CD's that the industry promised would cost about $5 since the production costs were so low, still cost over $20. My pc and the tv merging into an all-powerful appliance? No, thats A Brave Microsoftian World*, that pig will never fly. (I can't possibly take WebTV seriously, I can't believe people pay money for that!) The only integration between TV and the internet I want to see is a one fee system for the cable service, $40 for internet PLUS ~$50 for tv is a kick in the testicles, please just charge me something like $60 for the whole package, thanks.

Isn't that the slogan for KDE? I'm pretty sure it has been, since the day it came out.

No, I don't personally use KDE or gnome as a windowing environment, my unix desktop is quite nice with my vanilla Window Maker window manager.
