Bad consumer! You are costing the retailer 2-3% of the sale each time you use a credit card. You are making the credit card companies richer for no good reason at all. Use cash or debit cards.
#1: Too many frickin' distributions #1a: with each one doing things differently from the rest #1b: and with each one having something seriously wrong with it, to the point that no one distribution is prefect for me
#2: BLOAT - RedHat, SuSE, etc. install so much crap - most of which I DO NOT want. Then, when you try to reduce the size, stupid dependencies force you to install most it anyway.
#3: Linux has become a mainstream fad. I don't care for mainstream fads.
A stupid idea, out of the dot com days, where some genius thought that it would be a good idea to comingle voice and data on the same set of wires (aka 'network') to save money. Of course, TCP/IP was never designed for this in the first place, so various hacks had to be added - such a QoS. And, of course, this all depended on all of the hardware and software bits between here and there supporting the various extensions and hacks for all of this to work. The hardware vendors love it, since it requires you to throw all of your old stuff out and replace it with new kit, or, at least, to buy expensive kit to add functionality to 'legacy' hardware. And then you find out that you have to build a seperate data network to handle your voice (over IP) traffic so that it doesn't interfere with your real data network.
...and imagine if all of the IT people started to invoice, say at $300 US an hour, Microsoft for the time time they piss away installing updates, hotfixes and other such Microsoft caused nonsense?

You are too stupid to use a Mac. Please pack it up and send it to me. I will find a good home for it via eBay.
