Amen, amen and amen. Say it again....But wait!! Linux people are SOOOOOOO knowledgeable about EVERYTHING! They know how to avoid sunlight for weeks at a time and write drivers for obscure unused devices for their beloved kernel, God forbid they write something useful. They probably masturbate looking at the kernel source too...
No one forces you to buy a computer...I thought you used the almighty Linux anyway?? So why do you give a shit? No one forces you into slavery except the GOVERNMENT. You must not remember the fact that you MUST work until May every year JUST TO PAY TAXES. That my friend is slavery. The DOJ admitting they don't have enough evidence and trying to settle the case is NOT slavery. Get your facts in line.
March 1, 2002 marks the beginning of the end of slashdot. Just wait until all these Linux users fork over the cash to read slashdot...YEAH RIGHT!! They caused the downfall of Loki for God's sake because they're too damn cheap. Everything for free!! EVERYTHING!! We'll see just how much "community" good will there really is - about as much as Loki got I'd bet.
Know what? ATI drivers blow really hard. There's the problem right there. Your analysis of the script kiddies dream don't really hold water either. She was describing all the machines in an office connecting to the internet through 1 machine using connection sharing, and using the transfer wizard internally to transfer stuff to the new machines.
Oh yeah, my ATI all in wonder card here at work is perfoming just fine with the proper XP drivers:)
Then sit down and shut your god-damned fucking mouth. You don't have an Xbox so go fuck your daughter instead. You really had to add your mindless, idiotic 2 cents didn't you?
True, something else they want are applications that have SENSIBLE names!!!! Ever looked at the ridiculous names linux programs have?? Either it has a K if it's a KDE app, or a G if it's Gnome. Then there are the command line programs...ugh...
go pay your license fees for intellectual property...
Right, don't pay for a thing, then don't complain when every commercial venture that pours tons of cash into linux dries up and linux is left DOA. Linux will end up like the old Soviet Union, they both have the same ideas.
There are no artists amongt the linux crowd because all the good software (photoshop, illustrator, etc) are for windows. Don't even start the crap about gimp and killustrator, adobe holds the keys to THE graphics standard apps. The driving forces behind linux are pasty code geeks, not artists, hence ugly interfaces. Mac folks are more artistic - just look at OSX. Complain all you want about the looks of WinXP, at least it's skinnable and everything looks the same from app to app. And no, coding is not the type of art we are talking about here.
Yes, don't reinvent the wheel....just kill off Gnome. KDE is what Linux needs to get onto the desktop. Why? Because it's like Windows. Facts are facts....splintering won't get it anywhere.
Yes! You can have that bloated, buggy, next-to-dead mozilla hunk of shit and have it bring down the entire OS when it crashes. Linux users really have to love running that kind of stuff because its FREE!!!! CmdrTaco sez: "you get what you pay for"
Well, this is one of a number of Damoclean swords hanging over the Net.
Perhaps all the "sky is falling" people could be a bit quick on the trigger. Everyone thinks that virii and worms are/will be the downfall of the internet. The internet is much more resiliant than people think, for one major reason: the people behind it. The people that run the servers online know what to do when business needs require a server to be up and running. They don't have time to fiddle and play around with the thing just to say they fixed it the RIGHT way (like good linux users do).
..nothing short of a totally 100% evil malware that nukes HDs after silently & terminally corrupting backups for a few weeks will hit enough people where it counts..
You know what those folks will do if that happens? Suck it up and start over from scratch. There's nothing else to do. Reformat/reinstall, believe it or not, happens a lot. It's just more cost effective than correcting all the damage. Businesses exist to make money, not lose it. I know this is pretty radical to those who think everything should be given away.
The real world is quite an eye opening experience for those sitting behind the jaded curtain of linux. The author mentioned he's trying to get into the IS world and getting nowhere due to the lack of MCSE, etc certs. Yep, that's how it is. Like it or not, if you want to stand a better chance of scoring a job, you better know microsoft and have the certs because most businesses use MS internally, and they want to see certification. It's nice to see businesses who will take a chance on someone who doesn't have all the credentials, but those are few.
To finish...the sky isn't falling, the internet will go on. Crackers and script kiddies will never stop trying, but they won't break it. Think "real world" and you'll feel better.
And they wonder why lots and lots of editorial/opinion writers for tech magazines are slamming linux...One thing those writers always talk about is the fact that the linux elite want everything for free and no one has the right to piss in their wheaties, no matter WHO owns it. This is damn hilarious...cry baby cry...

SuSE 7.3 vs XP

· Score: 0
I don't know why all these people are having such trouble with the internet connection wizard...say no to it and hit finish. Done. Never see it again. The passport thing was more annoying, but it goes away after a few times of saying no. Furthermore, there are hundreds of FAQs online telling you how easy it is to disable messenger and the passport thing.
I also really don't see why configuration is an issue with some folks either in XP...things are in a different place than before. Big deal.
Well, according to a 7th grade geography book I've looked at....Glaciers move uphill!! That's how they explain mountain cutting...those glaciers at sea level moved UP the sides of the mountains and carved them. All said with a serious face too.
Let's "dissect and examine" how it is that the evolutionary timeline is so precise. Even as "recent" as dinosaurs, the timelines given are always "give or take a few hundred million years". That doesn't sound too scientific does it? Sounds more like a wild guess. Imagine if the weather guy on TV said "it will rain sometime in the next 2 years". He'd be laughed off the air. Same thing for these "scientists".
Paul had something to say about science to Timothy, found in 1 Timothy 6:20 ---- "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called". Please remember that the word science is only found in the Authorized King James Bible. It was removed in every "revision" since 1611. Sounds like someone doesn't want that word to be seen in that context.
I suppose nearly 95% of all PC game developers are idiots then, because they use DirectX? Get your fucking head out of the sand and look around...OpenGL games are few and far between.
The games are too expensive?? You need to quit that pipe boy...I seem to recall that any game worth playing on the PS2 cost $50, the same as Xbox games. How old are you anyway to complain about the size of the controller? My 5 yr old has no problems with it so why do you?
Slashdot Mirror
But being a monopoly ISN'T illegal...look it up on your piece of shit lynx browser sometime.
Amen, amen and amen. Say it again....But wait!! Linux people are SOOOOOOO knowledgeable about EVERYTHING!

Use a real browser then instead of complaining that YOU can't see anything.
more profits like all the profits in, say, Loki's pocket? or ?

You weren't brief, you were a mindless stupid jackass anti-Microsoft bigot. Read the facts before going off half cocked like a fucking moron.
Then sit down and shut your god-damned fucking mouth. You don't have an Xbox so go fuck your daughter instead. You really had to add your mindless, idiotic 2 cents didn't you?
Users want GRAPHICAL APPLICATIONS
True, something else they want are applications that have SENSIBLE names!!!! Ever looked at the ridiculous names linux programs have?? Either it has a K if it's a KDE app, or a G if it's Gnome. Then there are the command line programs...ugh...

BeOS did it in 2. Apple took BSD core services and rewrote gobs of stuff in relatively no time.
I'll tell you why....NO centralized authority like management to keep things moving. No authority at the top = nothing gets finished properly.

The Vatican?? Oh my...that fat, slobbering idiot that lives there needs shot. The Bible refers to him as the Man of Sin...what a laugh riot!
Oh my....Do I spy a RUCKMANITE in the crowd??? That stuff in the parent looks JUST like something Peter Ruckman would write...please say if it's so...
