I have never regretted getting a First Post in my life until now. Sir, I wish I could turn back time and slow down my Submit button clicking. I wish I were not so lucky as to load Slashdot twice a day and regularly get the opportunity to FP.
In fact, I think I'll go buy a copy of "If I could Turn Back Time" by Bette Midler or who the fuck ever and force myself to listen to it as punishment for bumping your otherwise stellar post into second place.
Considering that the average Linux user would be overwhelmed at the features offered by a modern operating system such as Windows 2000 (or even Windows 98) it isn't suprising that they would confuse the two.
You feel dirty because you jerk off to kiddie porn. The laptop has nothing to do with it, aside from being your method of choice for displaying the kiddie porn.
The fact that you A) have some kind of email notification of moderation turned on; B) actually watch it; C) give a damn about moderation; D) took the time to come back to the site and whine, is frankly pretty discouraging. If I had any faith left that most human beings didn't unduly burden themselves with concerns over the most pointless worthless ignorant bullshit you have eroded it completely.
The next time you get that tight feeling in your chest when you see some electronic injustice committed against one of your virtual personas, climb up to the top of the highest cliff you can find (a building will do you stupid fucker) and leap the hell of. The maybe 2 seconds of freefall you will experience will be better than the 40 more years of mind atrophy ahead of you as you wallow in your geekiness.
Hey, I have more than 40 more years left!, your little geek mind wants you to shout. Sadly you don't. All that pork grease soaked pizza and cake frosting straight from the container isn't doing you any good. Particularly in the face of the fact that your days consist primarily of sitting on your ass discussing Boba Fett related topics.
Yeah, I notice that you guys have slipped. Every Wednesday morning when you ride by hanging off the back of that garbage truck I tell my girlfriend how the neighborhood is going to hell.
So, by association, so does this software. Also, KDE sucks by its association with Linux, and Linux sucks by its association with OSS, and so on and so forth.
Lets compare the people who actually write the code:
Windows Programmers
Well paid. Medium sized grayish cubicles with few restrictions on decorations. Laid back workplace.
Open Source Programmers
Live in basement of parents' home, browbeaten daily by overbearing mother, relentlessly degraded by father.
Windows Programmers
Married to a member of the opposite sex or enjoying a healthy dating life.
Open Source Programmers
Proposition other men in subway restrooms. Frequent 'glory holes'. Masturbate to Hentai porn.
WIndows Programmers
Nice cars.
Open Source Programmers
Bicycles.
Windows Programmers
Enjoy reading books, watching movies, and listening to music that all cover a wide variety of intellectually challenging subjects.
Open Source Programmers
Can't understand anything unless it deals with elves, or dwarves, or space creatures.
Windows Programmers
Secure in the knowledge that their work is contributing to increasing the productivity and happiness of workplaces and homes all over the counrty. Singularly responsible for ushering in the widespread use of personal computers for the masses.
Open Source Programmers
Waste their entire lives fighting in vain to bring down an imagined enemy by creating products that 99% of the computing public will pay to avoid having to use.
There you have it folks, a comprehensive comparison of the two camps.
There are only about six or eight of you actually doing any programming. The rest are posting things like "I hope someone ports this to...", so it isn't really the rest of the world.

This book recommends that you do not attempt to run SQL on a Linux machine, as it willl surely break down.

And learn to close your fucking tags.
Dumbass.

Pull out your paintball gun and spray me. I might think it is a real gun and put two shots to your COM, but they won't be paintballs.
Don't act like you didn't plan to do that anyway. Throwing an FP doesn't fool anybody.
Of course you are a pizza delivery guy, but hey, go ahead and offer your opinion.
So, by association, so does this software. Also, KDE sucks by its association with Linux, and Linux sucks by its association with OSS, and so on and so forth.
Where are these free guns you speak of? Stop teasing me.
I bow to breasts in general. Not man-breasts of course, you fat assed Open Source programming shut ins. Go outside and walk around one time.
Nut sack to be specific. Slashdot editors and Open Source programmers are the target audience.

kill your company.
Maybe you refer to the troops employed by VA. Troops as in the cash they don't have. Troops as in the lawyers they can't afford to pay.
Yeah, I'd love to see it.
It was a shitty book by a shitty company. The End.
It seems unfair, but go to stompin'

Hope this helps.
On topic too.
And you won't be so addicted.

The weather is getting colder here. Once it gets cold enough to start wearing pants I will choose a .45, some 1911 variant probably.
It really isn't a fair fight.
