No, I hate my fucking job to be honest! It's because I have to deal with Windows crap every now and then. I've been using computers since I was 11 (and that was in 1985) and everytime I need to fix Windows related problems I go nuts because NO MATTER HOW EXPERIENCED YOU ARE, Windows's gonna make you look like a holodummy! A simple task of program installation can sometimes be a nightmare because of corrupted registry and such. It's not very nice to explain to a corporate CEO why you, who's supposed to be an expert, can not install a single program on his laptop while he's looking over your shoulder!!! Situations like that eventually KILL ME! They don't understand tech-talk, it's no use to try to explain them why something seemingly simple task can not be done because Windows has corrupted this or that. It's time for me to move on, get the fucking rid of Windows environments and get a job (..and GET A LIFE!) where I will administrate Linux only.
It would be nice to know the average sleeping time of/. readers. I myself sleep about 4 hours / night (I need to have time to study more and more!) on weekdays and 11-12 hours on weekends.Sleeping is fun, but it's more fun to learn about microkernels and such.
"...every time we come a step closer to emulating Windows' functionality (i.e., running Windows apps) it is a good thing and a cause for celebration. What don't I get?" - What you don't get is the fact that whenever some mainstream windows software/feature gets ported to Linux, we'll get a lot more Linux users and a lot less windows users. That sure hell is something worth celebrating!!

"Of course linux could never kernel panic unless something was "misconfigured"."
Well, of course it could. It's just that 95% of these errors happen because people think they are sure about something they know nothing about.
Please don't fear the penguins! You're an average windows user, aren't you? I can understand that you can not understand how Linux works and you are frightened because of the ever growing popularity of Linux (perhaps even seeing nightmares), but hey - just try to keep it cool! Some people learn it faster than the others. Just try to learn and if it seems like you just simply can not get it, always remember this: there's a place for windows lamers. They are told to stay beyond the boundaries of the lamerland. It's your choice.

Oh really? Perhaps you just don't have the right software for that job. MPlayer is a lot faster than any windows DVD software I've tried on my computer. (Athlon 1GHz).

Well, looks like we finally found some use for GPS! I wonder when we get that service available in Finland.

Drunken Penguin congratulates and wishes all the best for the two of you! All you need is life fellas! I think I will follow his example some day.
The more we hear this "IT CAN NOT BE DONE" - talk, the more we want to prove "YES IT CAN!".
I am personally happy to hear these kinda news and I don't see anything wrong about it!
Slow down, boy! What would your daddy say if I'd call him up and tell him that his 11 years old son (yeah, that's you) uses this kinda dirty language?

Put the blame on you if you get Kernel panic error. You have misconfigured it.
