" I'm nearly 35, and I refuse to switch to new languages. I haven't even heard of half of the languages that you listed"
I sounds like your'e tired of the coding and stuff already. Learning new stuff, relearning the old stuff you thoought you knew, new frameworks and new languages is an essential part of coding. If you don't enjoy that..
If you love doing it, Your'e in for a fun ride and i wish you the best. Just continue!
My story: I had never coded a single row until i was at about 28. Now I'm 40, and it's still getting more and more fun to code. Learning new stuff, reshaping your old stuff etc. Java, C, Assembler, Frontendcoding with JQuery.
One note though. It takes time, practice, time and experience to become really good. But eventually, you will.
...whatever we want to on it. There's Linux and homebrew stuff, that can run on this old hardware, but the newer ( just a couple of years:)) firmwares won't allow it without modchips.
I have a stash of retrocomputers and consoles, and for everyone of them that i can get to run *nix it's always cool.
Amiga now has DebianM68k and NetBSD in new versions, PS2 has the kernelloader live cd, My old Mac PPC has Linux Minut, and my Sam460 has Debian too.
As for the Speccy - well at least it got esxdos:)
While many of you are busy writing angry comments about one of the zillion distros, because you don't seem to know that it's deadeasy to change windowmanagers/desktop to whatever you want, i'll load up Steam on Ubuntu and play some good games. Or maybe Spotify. On my Ubuntu 12.10. At least i can do these things on Linux! in 2012, nothings impossible. Cheer up. Even we nerds doesn't want the "compile Gentoo" stuff all the time.
Thank Mark for helping bringing Linux to the masses. Do what you wan't with your money and vision, and don't let the forumgnabbers get to you.:)
it's the one without arguments that starts yelling...)
Q1:" Fedora, Suse, Mageia and PCLOS are all way better than Ubuntu"
List some reasons why?
Q2: "...way better than Ubuntu. To be fair, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu are also better. It is only Ubuntu that is rotten.""
In what ways do you mean that Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu arn't Ubuntu? Why is Ubuntu rotten?
Or could it be that the people complaining about Unity doesn't know how to change to to Xubuntu, Kubuntu and so on? A lot of the comments are "Unity is crap" bla bla. I just don't get it, If you don't like Unity, just use Xubuntu or whatever.
Unity has been here for over a year now, it's here too stay, just use Xubuntu or whatever if you don't like it.
When i work with a computer i don't want the computer to insult me. Mac OS treats the users like they're retards. I just don't like Mac OS/IOS, it's for people that only want's to do what they'r told to.

Good, also don't forget to help NetBSD if you can, they haven't reached anywhere near expectations.http://www.netbsd.org/donations/

What's this - Bash Ubuntu-day? Ubuntu is at the moment the only serious desktopcontender for linux.

Yes, hope we'll see Ballmer as a MS leader for many more years. He'll drive the company into the ground.
it's not even started yet. So why give up before trying.
No, it's a great design. Most innovative thing to happen in LinuxGUIland for years.
