So the typical American stance is to tell kids who are born here to get off their asses and produce something or someone else will? Oh fuck off. I mean seriously FUCK OFF.. kids born here do not deserve a free ride and importing folks to do the work IS A BAD idea. So seriously.. fuck right off..
If you've been using Linux since 1997 then you should have been able to fix this. And you should have known you needed backups NO MATTER what. You trusted a vendor with a system YOU depended on? That isn't Linux OR the vendors fault.. that's ALL on you. I mean seriously... after being a "proponent" of Linux for FIFTEEN years.. you let your "sweet setup" get borked up and couldn't fix it.
I call bullshit.
This I've been an advocate of Linux for years and just want it to work.. is a lot like started a statement with " I have a lot of black friends but.. " AND everyone knows here comes the line of bullshit.
I have a badass i7 box with pretty much top of the line hardware.. EVERYTHING works out of the box with Linux. This isn't special stuff other then it's higher end so it's not common and what most would work on first to get running right. No issues.
No lecture from me either being that it's usually as simple as the air between the keyboard and the chair./end of story
Then they shouldn't should whine when no one can afford what they product. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Which is why the banks should have never been bailed out and the auto industry should never had bailouts or loans. If we are in a true capitalist society.. and these "corporations" make bad decisions.. fuck them.. let them die and new companies take their place. Why should society prop them up if as an entity they care about nothing but profits. *shrug*
I've been at this long enough that I know it matters NOT what the economy is like whether they do this or not. It's about time we stop blaming the economy for things. This crap happens in the best of times and the worst. It's because sales, marketing and other non-tech people (who are usually in charge of the purse) see no real value in tech people unless shit is broken. They see IT/Eng folks as a dime a dozen that are easily replaced by some outsourced solution. WHICH the later regret in most cases.
@RightSaidFred99 I would take Gosling's word over you who did some Google searches.. these agreements aren't public and you won't just find them by typing in a search engine. So it really doesn't matter what you believe.. unless you were AT Sun or AT Microsoft when this went down.. your opinion means just a little less then gum on the bottom of a shoe.
No, this is because Mac's are built on UNIX.. just because it has a pretty GUI doesn't make it a haven for malware and self perpetuating virus infections like Windows. If I had a dollar for every day of every month of every year that people said " macs don't have enough market to warrant virus writers caring." but meanwhile their market share has grown and grown year after year. It's the same old crap about UNIX/Linux isn't popular enough when it runs a MUCH larger portion of the Internet the anything else. Why WOULDN'T it be a target? Why can't these script kiddies hack root on these boxes and turn them into zombies.
And when there are no more smokers then you fat, donut eating geeks will have to get off your butts. When 80% of this country are classified as obese.. it's TIME to stop blaming the 7% of this country that still smoke for YOUR high costs. Tis a joke.. whenever I'm standing outside and one of you double bubble rolls walk by with your nose in the air because *I* am smoking.. all I can say is that maybe that triple cheeseburger and order of chili-cheese fries ISN'T such a good idea.;)
Um. NO. They are NOT a hardware company. Intel designed the new Mac Pro, while Apple designed ALL the software that loads on that MacPro. Watch the Keynote today and tell me Apple is just a hardware company.. then I'll tell you that Microsoft is just a photocopier company.:)
Be careful what you ape, lest you become a monkey.
Aqua is no more dumbed down the Gnome is in Ubuntu 6.06 which I use at work.. but it is better layed out the Windows is..
Mac users DO not pay double or triple for ANY external device.. you make things up and look stupid for it. I have 4x300G Seagates in plain external enclosures. *ding* Go back to the end of the line and please try again.
The heat issue was a mistake that has been corrected.. IBM, HP or Dell never make mistakes in manufacturing? Yeah.. right. Moron.
Why not install Firefox? Netscape is just a UI clusterf**k of what Netscape was. This will make people go " see.. see.. alternative browsers just suck! ".. *Sigh*
Well, you just proved their point. Anytime Bush is disparaged then the person doing it is unamerican.. go fuck yourself. Both Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson would flay the skin from your bones were they alive today to hear your kind of talk. They didn't want a country of blind obedience or they wouldn't have revolted against England's King George.. so we have the right to decent against ours. Asshole.
Ok, you Windows virus spreading, redneck sister fucking tightass.. I'm sure you'd have loved and welcomed Hitler and turned in your neighbors if they did anything that scared you or that you didn't understand.

You should then stop reading /. since it IS FUCKING THE geek culture. Fucking troll.
You are a douchebag. Go play some more Halo and have a nice can of shut the fuck up. asshat.

Have fun being Windows only. Rock on.
Yeah, and I bet you fell asleep in class too.

So don't act like this is a new thing. It isn't.
WRONG!
This is the second half of part 4 of ASoFaI. He has 3 more books which comprise the 2nd story arc. This story should be pulled as it's just wrong.

This whole discussion is just silly.

But the question is.. where is Jessica Alba in this whole thing? :)

Stop with the FUD.
Actually, SUSE predates Redhat. But since Americans equate Redhat with Linux. I guess that's an easy mistake to make.
You must be doing this on Windows. My 1.5ghz 17 month old Powerbook does NOT take that long to open iTunes.
Or quite possibly you're just a troll... which would make sense.
Why not install Firefox? Netscape is just a UI clusterf**k of what Netscape was. This will make people go " see.. see.. alternative browsers just suck! ".. *Sigh*
It seems quite nice to me. :)
Hmm.. BSD doesn't seem too dead since Apple sold 2 MILLION units of it's BSD in May. :)
;)
BSD seems to be doing just fine in it's various forms.

Pretty much says it all. Moron.
One doesn't have to be a liberal to believe in science... just intelligent. Ya Gomer.
