Its because linux is a nightmare to support. Win98 is win98 plain and simple.
So you have linux?
kernel 2.0.x or 2.2.x
glibc or glibc2
xfree 3.3.6 or 4.0
x86 sparc alpha etc etc
did you compile module f00 into your kernel
do you have the latest kernel
See what I'm getting at? Lets not forget the lack of libc5 compatibility in redhat 7.
Have fun with your nightly builds, segfaults, crashes, and bug reports. While you're filling out bug reports I'm using a browser that doesn't crash and works right now. Not in the future, not in the next build. Its all what matters now to consumers.
But did you read every single line of the new kernel you just installed, how about the newest build of apache? Relying on "someone else" to catch the problem isn't a good idea. How long did redhat have that default q password set?
As for win2k, remember windows2000test.microsoft.com? was it ever 0wned or DoS'ed into oblivion? Compare the number of buffer overflows in linux to the number in windows.
Ever hear of kindling temperature? I can throw lit matches at a 2x4 all day and not catch on fire. I doubt a smoking resistor or capacitor would cause it to go up.
That was a whole lot of masturbating about free software but somehow I didn't see any real examples or facts. Like how most linux multimedia players bite my ass. Xanim can't even play standard mpegs from www.nineinchnails.net. Cinepak is a horrible old codec for quicktime, I'm not even sure who still uses it. All the other players might work, but just barely. I tried viewing a vcd mpeg at full screen and the framerate dropped almost 50%!
You just have to worry about script kiddies and buffer overflows, wrong permissions, etc etc. Imagine not paying attention to bugtraq and having 15,000 boxes to DoS from.
you back again? fuck your ancestors. If you hate the white man so much why don't you leave this country?
Its the new age of racism, I'm not from the south, I don't have a rebel flag, a pickup truck, a shitty looking house or an ugly wife. I'm the average white guy who you can't tell from anyone else.
How the hell did you get through college using words like "who don't get nowhere". Why don't you start accumulating your own wealth instead of being jealous of mine. Gimme gimmie gimmie thats all I hear. I don't owe you a fucking thing! Lincoln could have sent your black asses back to the mother land but it cost too much. I don't see any of you trying to help your own continent, maybe the ebola outbreaks, aids, famine, and war have something to do with it.
The truth is you aren't helping your cause by further seperating blacks and whites. Move to canada or europe if you love socialism so much.
The problem with that is copyright issues. Private companies can give big enough headache, imagine the feds getting involved. First they would need permission to mirror the content and then some way to pay for (more banners and more stories with FUD summaries).
Far too often a story shows up with a short summary taking a sentence or two out of context. Mostly its pro linux FUD, but few people read the actual article and instead post tons of comments generating more banner hits.
I would appreciate the real story and not a single sentence picked to rile up the zealots. The opinions can also go, maybe people read this site for stories other than linux as the title suggests.
Yet it somehow got modded up to insightful. I wonder how many pro win2k stories you'll see, none around here. Yeah feel free to mod this down to offtopic, I don't care.
You would get sued 40 different ways for illegaly using their logo. Since nobody here likes copyright laws I don't think the tux penguin is registered to anyone. People here would go apeshit if MS used your logo for an anti linux ad.
Set the mixer to "what u hear" and then fire up your favorite recording program. For windows I prefer soundforge. You could also use the frauenhoffer mp3 encoder, it can encode mp3 in realtime.
My BP6 has been the most stable piece of hardware ever, nearly as stable as a sparc2. NT or FreeBSD has never ever crashed. The only time NT did bluescreen was when I did some serious overclocking (pushing a C333 to 540mhz) and when I had a buggy permedia2 card.

I have NEVER seen a dll version be an issue in troubleshooting a system. The version of IE doesn't matter, its just an app like netscape.

"the three films being shot simultaneously"
duh.
Oh thats a real big loss, barred from entering canada. You have _what_ that would attract me...?

Ever hear of shn files? People use them for trading bootlegs because it cuts the file size 50% and produces no loss.
"tyrone" is nothing more than a clever troll.
You sound like Mr. T
Never before has slashdot been so entertaining.

Use snail mail. Simple and tamper proof. Is that a christmas card to grandma or stealth bomber blueprints, you would never know.

How do you know if any commercial company does this? MS uses BSD code for certain programs and utilities. Whats to stop them from using GPL code?
He visted china and they decided to make linux the national OS. Hmmm....
Imagine the possibilities, an archive storing every pr0n video made in the last 50 years! Not to mention Natalie Portman :)
He works in an NT shop, what would the helpdesk know about linux? Damn the zealotry at work here.
