Then try freeBSD and you'll sense the freedom. Microsoft, in spite of a certain technical efficacy concerning gazing at its own navel, has become like a piggy drowning in its own mud hole.
....was evidently depressed. He said, "Father, why hast thou forsaken me?" What more proof do they need? They should have taken that peace-geek right out and nailed him to a friggen cross. I haven't been keeping up with the news lately. Whatever happened to him anyway? Did he go Open Source?
As Anonymous Coward so aptly said: "Bush's crew is a bunch of technophobes and bigots." They are capable of making laws that reflect their general fundamentalist right-wing piggy mentalities; like passing a law giving "equal net time" to Southern red-neck preachers, and all paid for by Microsoft and AOL. I'm kidding...., or am I? They'd be capable of pulling off a modern version of book burning with their Microsoft-installed content and Website delete button. Don't even mention sex. Don't even mention anonymity and freedom of expression. I am sure that they are working on a way to exclude the Web from existing free-speech legislation and "minor constitutionalities." Of course they won't succeed, but they will try. The sad thing is that half the chumps in the USA are so morally and intellectually tight-assed and stupid, that they actually voted for that semi-illiterate red-neck, superstitious, oh so sinful but repentant, beady-eyed son of a moron.
Then why does Microsoft, after creating an app that can conceivably be accessed for use by an open source OS via a patch, "rethink" the application to make it totally and agressively incompatible with anything that isn't Microsoft? I mean they actually work to make their stuff unuseable or full of glitches for others. It's not just money, or is it? Is this ridiculous rant just more "open" paranoia from the source? Anyway, before you get all bent out of shape, I'll have to agree with you on the "right out of the box" useability of Windows products. It really is professional, but so are many asp-wholes. Now there's nothing wrong with making $$$$. MS does that very well. I hate having to type code and commands just to do simple tasks that should be hidden by the system. Whenever I use Debian, I feel like a doctor examining someone with transparent skin. I can even see what it ate for breakfast. In fact, if the next windows os lives up to expectations, and has a selective installation option, I might become just another capatalist-pig's victim.
Speaking of gardens, the Linux garden starts with a lot of weeds, but once you get rid of them (hand-picking makes for sore hands and headaches in the case of Debian), all you have to do is glut yourself. I tested Debian way back when on a totally Microsoft-free drive without knowing zip about it. If I can survive that, without one single crash, which cannot be said about a Windows neophyte on Windows, then anyone can. Instead of the comparison between gardens and grocery stores, I see it more as eating cold, canned beans (windows) and opening the can first to heat the beans up. At least Linux comes with a can opener.
...people are not only stupid enough to open unsollicited mail, but theyattempt to read it too (which must be very difficult if the spam in question doesn't contain "pictures"). These same image-oriented idiots actually send real $$$ and credit card #s to the sources to obtain tangerine-colored rhine-stone broaches, edible underware (instead of software), battery operated tummy-tuners, scathological porn, nazi insignia, and plane tickets to non-existant Florida vacation spots. Maybe one is born every minute, but I'm sure one doesn't die every minute. None of these people use freeBSD, Linux, or any of the other "esoteric" operating systems. They find the time to read all that mail between the editing of their baby films for the family and posting cute little ready-made throbbing heart.gifs on lonely hearts message boards. They love Windows Me. They love vacuum cleaner shaped, transparent plastic, candy-colored Mac desk tops and toaster-like CDrom readers. A final thought:until some genius of a geek hacker finds a way to delete the veritable and not just the virtual presence of these credulous illiterates from the universe via the WWW, we will just have to put up with more and more SPAM for breakfast.
Don't knock it..., that Power Diet really works. And my dog just loves to chew on the abdominizers. And last but not least, I've got an unlisted number, am not in any phone books, and don't have a credit card. It would be a very lonely life if it wasn't for Debian (Both the dog & the kernel), all those automatically dialed incoming calls, and your enlightening message.
I've got this automatic answering thingy that lets me choose which message to play to the caller. If I know it's a telemarketing firm I play the "Yes...OK....yes......OK...I see..yes.....OK" message which lasts a full five minutes. When I'm downloading I play the "Bienvenu à l'Ambassade polonaise à Paris" so they think they somehow called Paris by mistake.
"I now send the postage-page envelopes back from junk mailers." I know someone given to using spamware on spammers after tracking them to their often vague sources. He opens accounts where they have accounts then automatically forwards their stuff back to them after replying so they believe he's interested in their crapola. So far this has only created local mail "feedback" phenomena, normally in England. It does less harm to the "mother" system than believed, because the server has no choice but to remove the two accounts. Besides England, Israel seems to be pretty good Spam-wise.

Gonzojohn ofLinuxOrbit posted this snapshot of whaaaaaasssssssUp at Microsoft.com Interesting!
....or rather "replaced."
Right uou "R"... The NT fixes, fixexes,, patch(es)&(ings), security updates, etc, etc will soon take up more space on a system than One Whole Potato.
Thank you Josh, I knew he meant apps. I just couldn't resist being a hopelessly dumb smart-ass. Linux won't be lacking for long though.

...because they made a deal with Satan. I'm not sure, but I believe it has something to do with EVIL
If you want music try turning on the radio.
Yeah but did you know that Microsoft Office 10 had a "cure cancer" app?
