  2. Censorship on Why Work Sucks · · Score: 1

    "Some ignorant oaf made a comment...This has now mysteriously disappeared"

    It's not censorship; the replies are still there. There's no mystery - the only thing that's been done is filtering. The replies in question were deemed to have no useful content and their score was reduced to -1. *You* have decided to only view articles with a score of at least 0, thus if anybody is censoring articles, it's *you*.

    Try clicking on the " Down One" at the bottom of the article or pages.

  3. FUD? on SunWorld Explains *bsd · · Score: 1

    I didn't think that *BSD supporters would stoop to FUD - but just look at a couple of these quotes:

    "while there's no hard evidence that BSD is more reliable or performs better than Linux, there are surprisingly few claims to the contrary from the Linux camp."

    So? The Linux camp isn't fighting against the BSD camp - it's MS that the Linux camp is fighting against. I think the Linux camp would be happy to see BSD gain a few million users from MS's direction...

    "Who do you call if something goes wrong? ... Traditionally, free operating systems have been tech-supported via mailing lists in which volunteers answer questions, usually correctly. The problem here is with the word usually. How can you tell if the advice you're given is correct?"

    The author has obviously never tried to actually follow Microsoft documentation or get intelligent support from them. "How can you tell if the advice you're given is correct?" It's simple - either the advice works or it doesn't. Just because a big corp says that something will work doesn't mean that it really will. Just look at Windows.
