Linux is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Linux community when last month IDC confirmed that Linux accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Linux has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Linux is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by falling dead last in the recent Kreskin test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Linux's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Linux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux because Linux is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux. As many of us are already aware, Linux continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. RedHat Linuxis the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Mandrake Linux leader Gael Duval states that there are 7000 users of Mandrake Linux. How many users of Corel Linux are there? Let's see. The number of Mandrake Linux versus Corel Linux posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Corel Linux users. SuSE posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Corel Linux posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of SuSE. Arecent article put RedHat Linux at about 80 percent of the Linux market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 RedHat Linux users. This is consistent with the number of RedHat Linux Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Debian,abysmal sales and so on,RedHat Linux went out of business and was taken over by Corel who sell another troubled Linux. Now Corel is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Linux has steadily declined in market share. Linux is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Linux is survive at all it will be among Linux hobbyist dabblers. Linux continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Linux is dead.

JonKatz homosexuality is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered JonKatz community when
last month IDC confirmed that JonKatz accounts for less than a fraction of 1
percent of all homosexual fantasies. Coming on the heels of the latest
GayMale weekly survey which plainly states that JonKatz has lost more market

collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last
in the recent Homosexual.com comprehensive ass-raping test.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Slashdot leader CowboyNeal states that there are 7000 homosexual fantasies
of JonKatz. How many ass rapings of JonKatz are there? Let's see. The number
of homosexual fantasies involving JonKatz versus ass-rapings involving
JonKatz posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are
about 7000/5 = 1400 homosexual JonKatz fantasy users. Anal penetraion of
JonKatz posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of JonKatz homosexual
fantasy posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of anal penetration of
JonKatz. A recent article put reacharounds involving JonKatz at about 80
percent of the homosexual fantasies involving JonKatz market. Therefore
there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 fantasies involving JonKatz. This is
consistent with the number of ass-rapings of JonKatz posts.
Due to the troubles of the Anal Sludge Eating Corporation, abysmal sales and
so on, homosexual fantasies involving JonKatz went out of style and was
taken over by fantasies involving CmdrTaco who sells himself on the street
corner. Now CmdrTaco's Ass-Sex Company is also dead, its corpse turned over

Windows vs. Mac vs. Linux Review
on
The Last Hero
·
· Score: -1, Troll
Linux, Macintosh Or Windows?
Stability is critical in an OS. Stability is what ensures your computer will
be working when you need it to work, vs. having to pay for a technician to
come in and fix it. Based on my experiences with all three platforms,
Windows is by far the most stable platform, with Macintosh ranking just
behind and little known BSD following in third.
I would say that Linux might be the next most stable OS after Windows,
MacOS, and BSD.
This ranking alters slightly when considering the hardware layer. Inherently
the most stable OS, Windows is still new and is not compatible with all the
hardware available. The manufacturer of Macintosh - Apple - owns, designs
and builds its own computers. This makes them inherently the most stable in
the long run. Compare this to Linux, which just handles the software. It is
the hardware manufacturers' and other software programmers' responsibility
to make the Linux platform stable.
Unfortunately, because there are so many programmers trying to make the
program stable from their own vantage point, Linux is an unstable OS. The
best example I can come up with is having 1,000 plumbing companies come in
and plumb a different part of a new house. Each company has its own way of
doing things and the pipes, fittings or fixtures may just not work together
smoothly. In the end, the owner might have a bunch of leaks. This is
definitely a good way to describe what will happen with Linux.
The ease of use winner is the Windows, hands down. The reason I say this is
the amount of time I have to take explaining something to someone on each
platform. Windows is made to be easy and friendly. Macintosh follows in
second and Linux is a distant third. The reason for Linux being so far
behind is that it is UNIX-based. To install programs in Linux, you have to
drop out into the command environment and type in arcane UNIX-based
commands. Another good indicator of ease of use lies in networking PCs
together. Linux, again, requires in-depth understanding, while Macintosh
takes some understanding, and Windows takes the least. In the end, I can put
a Windows PC on a network in about 10 minutes, while a Macintosh may take 30
minutes and a Linux box would take at least one to two hours.
Software and hardware availability is the actual crux of the issue. Again,
let's go back to the OS layer. Because each OS speaks its own language,
software programs that have been designed for one OS will not work on
another. A program made for Linux, for example, will not work on a
Windows-based PC (no big loss: I was unable to find anyLinux-based
application that I would want to run that didn't have a better Windows
alternative).
Now, there are plenty of "ported" software titles available. A ported
software program is one that was made on one platform and then translated
for use on another. Ported programs allow us to use documents created in a
program on one platform with the same program on another platform. Here is
an interesting tidbit: Microsoft Word was originally developed for the
Macintosh and subsequently ported for use on DOS and then Windows.
Back to the primary issue of hardware/software availability. Windows wins
this one hands down because of the sheer number of software titles
available, with the Macintosh coming in second. The Mac lacks the specialty
software titles, but it has equivalent hardware availability. Linux is a
distant third. Linux hasn't been recognized by the major hardware/software
vendors, due to it's "hobbist OS" background. That recognition would help by
driving major corporations to port their programs and hardware over to the
Linux platform. Currently, software and hardware corporations just don't
want to waste their time on an operating system that is quickly being
forgotten about.
As you can see the results are not very surprising - linux is still only a toy, while Windows is superior all areas.
