    Or an entire country of people that thinks that a problem can be solved by sending out the troops, F-16s and tanks and "isolating" the elected president of a nation.
    ... who secretly supports terrorism.

    Yes - I agree with the F-16's, tanks, whatever - anyone who supports terrorism - actively, or cowardly - will get what they deserve.

    The simple fact that an entire country of people thinks that a problem can be solved by shoving bombs up their asses and killing innocent civilians (and themselves) tells me all that I need to know..

    Thanks for your intellectual input - but.. If you really believe that saddum is going to give your family $50k for killing others during 'the glory of god', then... well... you are a complete fuckhead.

    What the fuck is it with the people who seem to think that they must support Israel at all costs.

    Well - gee whizz, let me think now...
    Ooh - I've got it!

    How about the fact that the fucking morinic palestinians are shoving bombs up their asses and killing people at random based on their location.

    He will be missed; truly a modern-day icon.

    Missed ?? - Last I heard he certainly cant control his rabble of a country - he just hides in a candle lit bunker like Hitler did, shortly before his demise. Oh, well - who say's history doesnt repeat?

  7. Linux is not reliable, and here's why... on Linux Media Arts Advances Video in Linux · · Score: 1, Funny

    Ok, so I've got this Linux PC and its been chugging along ok I guess for the
    last 15 months collecting data and stuff, when I needed to install
    a plug and play LAN card.

    I rip off the top of the box and look for a slot, but the IDE cables are in the way,
    so I unplug them - just for a few seconds, to plug in my LAN card, and would
    you believe it - the fucking PC crashed. Bloody Linux - what a piece of shit.
    At least Windows has 'Plug and Play' which works. I mean, Windows upgrades
    have never failed us - we just schedule our hardware upgrades for the time of the
    day that the boxes decide to BSOD. This is quite a good feature if you really think
    about it - sort of a reminder to 'check to see if any hardware needs upgrading'

    Well I'm off to Walmart tomorrow to get lots of shiney new copies of
    Windows XP to put onto all our computers here. I have to do this, after all..
    ..National security depends on us.

  8. Bottom Line: Will I have a job ? on Does Open Source Software Really Work? · · Score: -1

    Quite true - no argument.
    Windows has been the 'standard' for a long time now, and employers expect it.

    Problem is, any schmuck can "know windows" but be completely and utterly clueless about computers in general - if its not on a toolbar [dummy mode on], then forget it.

  10. Re:Off the horse, sir on Does Open Source Software Really Work? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While what you say is fair, I must say that anyone who uses a computer for any length of time (in a business at least), should be trained.

    Not Word, or Excel or graphics - but TRAINED HOW TO USE A DAMN COMPUTER

    It doesnt really matter what OS they are using, the basic *understanding* is the same.

    1. If I type shit in, I need to save it somewhere
    2. The shit that I typed in, is saved in what is called a 'file'. This file exists in a folder/directory on the hard disk.
    3. Just because I printed the shit out, doesn't mean it is saved
    4. I need to make a backup of the file from my hard drive, because hard drives can - and WILL - fail.

    People aren't stupid, but if they use a computer - they really need to LEARN the very basics of it.

    Managers are NOT excluded.
