Details: Royalty/nobility is stupid, a concept so outdated that I'm amazed the Limeys can believe in it and still consider themselves a civilized people. A lot of old people died today, and "Queen Mother" is no different. The facts that she lived in a big house and that her ancestors managed to bamboozle the populace into giving them complete political power are irrelevant, and it's comforting to see the remnants of such a stupid system die. The fewer "royals" and "nobles" that Britain has, the more likely Britain is to be taken seriously on an international level. The stupidity of the royal family is amplified by the fact that their lives combine the worst attributes of the cheapest hick trash (narcotics, divorce, incest) with the worst attributes of the nouveau rich (living lies to ridiculous excess). The fact that any British can have any reverence for such a national joke is simply ludicrous.
So while the non-British world will grin at the thought of "Queen Mother" joining Diana in Satan's glorious barbecue of the damned, don't forget that there are plenty more princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses, lords and ladies, whom must be killed to erase the farce of Britain's unglorious past. Get shooting!
Details: I'm not a member of the any "school." I'm an old timer -- try to guess my old UID! -- who's returned to flame some stupid Linux users. I'm not trying to lure out haiku pedants. If I get any replies at all, I prefer them to be from the hypocritical loser ("Malda-esque") crowd.
Synopsis: You can be forgiven, because your computer is probably older than you are.
Details: Yes, FreeBSD is an excellent solution for people who can't afford modern hardware. I mean, back when you bought that machine, your choice in operating systems were thus: Windows 3.1, Netware, SCO, and FreeBSD. So we can't blame you. It's not as if you're running a dual-processor Athlon MP, or a quad-processor Pentium 4 Xeon, in which case using FreeBSD would be akin to buying a Mercedes and then ricing it up with a cheap aftermarket spoiler and "loud pipes." Even GNU/Linux, the operating system of third-world communist terrorists, would be a better choice than FreeBSD!
Once it's in your ass, does it really matter? Heh, for someone so eager to diss my 10" horse cock, you seem awfully eager to suck it, too. Watch the teeth, bitch.
Details: FreeBSD is only widely used in Third-World nations whose populations are too poor to afford pirated copies of Windows, and too stupid to realize that using a SysV-derived freeware OS such as Linux will give them experience that will be valuable in the event that they are able to illegally emigrate to Europe or the US.
These countries are truly the lowest of the low -- even the Chinese are rich enough to use Windows, and even Iceland is evolved enough to use GNU/Linux. Who would ever use FreeBSD, for anything?
Details: I will back you up -- OpenBSD is definitely a uniprocessor OS. This fact alone is why I and many other former BSD users never spent any time playing with it -- I mean, even Microsoft's corporate desktop OS supports two CPUs, so what kind of a "server OS" can OpenBSD be?
But Buffy also makes the mistake of trying to be too detailed. Buffy, I don't think there's anything wrong with the phrase "Windows XP network" -- a Windows network is a network of Windows machines, a UNIX network is a network of UNIX machines, et cetera. And this phrase is especially applicable to Windows XP, which unfortunately not only includes the proprietary networking features of Windows 2000, but also breaks backwards-compability of several key Windows networking features (such as shares).
Anyway, Buffy shouldn't have bitten an amateurish troll in the first place, but he really seals his fate as an idiot by showing such ignorance. You're just trying too hard, lamer!
Synopsis: full-screen ads are the way of the future.
Details: I know exactly the ads that you're talking about -- animated full screen motherfuckers that take over the browser window for ten seconds or so. Another type of annoying ad is the "cool" animated Flash object that will show up while you're reading and require you to click to close them. Actually, I hate all Flash ads, because they waste CPU and fuck up the smooth scrolling in my IE web browser.
But these are the way of the future, and when a formerly "cool" company such as Yahoo! stoops that low, you know that the end of the world is coming. Makes you appreciate Google even more, those Scientologist bastards.
In other news, I'm highly amused by Slashdot's new "below the story" block ads. Hey, losers, you'll be out on the street taking it up the ass for a dollar by June, no matter how many ads you sell. VA Linux^H^H^H^H^HSoftware is dead, so you should be spending your time trying to find a nonviolent pimp.
Details: I just love the chicks in the blue and white dress. Especially Shannon, who works at UNATCO, and the chick who works near the entrace to the Lucky Money. "I like a man with a lot of zippers." Well unzip my pants for a big surprise, baby. Anyway, I haven't actually masturbated during the game yet, but I've thought about it.
Synopsis: Slashdot is run by hypocritical fucktards.
Details: Slashdot is a very reliable source for negative Microsoft news. They believe that by posting only negative Microsoft news, and posting only positive Linux-related news, that people will believe Linux is superior. Unforunately, the intelligent computer user does not rely on Slashdot's week-old link reposts for unbiased information. Slashdot is unable to accept that Linux is not, and will never be, all things to all people. Slashdot is also unable to accept that Microsoft provides a lot of very cool technology.
The bottom line is that the Cheap Software world is behind the game on a lot of technologies that matter to business. And.NET allows developers to build very powerful solutions around web services much more quickly -- and remember, Slashdot, some of us work in the real world, where time, and not banner ads, equals money -- than with Java and Apache's XML libraries. I've worked extensively with both technologies, and anyone who has also worked with both will agree with me. That's not to say that.NET doesn't have its weaknesses, but if you're an ASP and are prepared to commit to the framework, you have no excuse for not evaluating.NET. The Apache solutions remain viable for Arab terrorists and others who are unable to access Microsoft technology, but for businesses -- real businesses, not Slashdot/VA Linux wannabe stuff -- the investment is worth it.
Microsoft's release of the framework for FreeBSD is very interesting. I imagine its purpose is to allow the parts of Hotmail that still run on FreeBSD to interact with the.NET-enabled portions of Microsoft's enterprise services divisions. But do not be fooled into thinking that.NET on FreeBSD is a viable business solution; like J#, this technology will shortly disappear. I am curious, however, how.NET on FreeBSD compares to Java on FreeBSD. In terms of performance,.NET on Windows 2000 absolutely decimates Java on any platform -- you should read about how Microsoft reimplemented Sun's "Pet Shop" J2EE demo in.NET and acheived a 7X performace increase. I also wonder if.NET on FreeBSD allows the same access to legacy code that.NET on Windows does -- because that's another benefit of.NET, the ability to leverage existing components without even recompiling them.
Anyway, Slashdot is just a bunch of losers, and they'll be out on the street giving blowjobs for quarters before the summer. And then, their ignorant viewpoints won't even be a factor.
Synopsis: Ensure that you always have a Microsoft Windows PC available in the event that your Unix-wannabe system crashes.
Details: Since Windows always works, you will be able to use this second machine to search Deja^H^H^H^HGoogle Groups for troubleshooting information. Microsoft understands that most people use computers for the purpose of using applications, and created Windows so that we could use applications without having to worry about what the operating system is doing. You will never have to worry about mounting disks, recompiling your kernel, or downloading hacked amateur device drivers -- so when your FreeBSD or GNU/Linux machine breaks, you can rely on Microsoft Windows to provide access to online Unix-wannabe documentation. But why are you using an operating system, such as GNU/Linux or FreeBSD, which purposefully places obstacles in front of the potential user? Just listen to several testamonials from satisfied Windows users.
"I use GNU/Linux because I think it makes me seem cool -- I get a real rush out of talking about how GNOME and Star Office allow me to remain semi-functional in a world ruled by the graphical user interface. But when my Linux box crashed and I was unable to remount my "root" partition, I was hopeless, until I remembered about the Windows machine sitting in the corner. I usually make fun of Windows, but without the realiable Internet access that only Windows can provide, I would have been unable to find "fsck" documenation until I could visit my local Borders bookstore."
I.M. Stoopyde, Linux Loser
"I was recently forced to use a Windows machine in order to test a website, and I was really impressed. Internet Explorer 5 is incredibly fast, never crashes, and always renders the latest W3C-validated markup correctly, unlike Netscape 4 or Mozilla. Now, I find myself using Windows for most of my day-to-day work."
A. Dumbefuque, Former FreeBSD Fucktard
"Ever since I started using Microsoft Windows, I haven't had to worry about asking colleagues to resend Microsoft Word documents as plain text. Since Windows is the standard corporate desktop operating system, it only makes sense. I can't believe I ever used Linux!"
Anne Utheretard, Cured Linux Loser
"Windows is not only the only choice for the modern businessman, but in the wake of September 11th, it makes me feel good to use an American operating system. FreeBSD is the product of godless communist hippies, and Linux is the product of socialist Europeans. A true American will use either Windows or MacOS, and MacOS isn't a viable choice for e-business."
John Walker, columnist for Smart and Successful magazine.
"Some of my friends use Linux, but I just don't see the point. Windows supports all of the latest games, and provides unrivaled x86 hardware support. And the latest version of Windows, Windows XP, even bests MacOS is the realm of multimedia! Wowee!"
Raven Stoneblade, amazingly cool action hero
"I'll never forget how our FreeBSD machine forgot its routing information the night before my team's big project was due. Thank Allah for our lone Windows NT workstation, which autoconfigured its network interface and was online in seconds. So instead of working, my team spent the night huddled in front of our NT workstation, figuring out how to get the stupid fucking Unix box back online. As developers, we shouldn't be expected to put up with such bullshit. In the future, we'll do our work on Windows. Praise be to Allah!"
Osama bin Raden, no relation to Osama bin Laden
"After reading several stories on Slashdot.org, I became convinced that I would have to escape the grasp of Microsoft, the 'evil empire.' So I went down to CompUSA and picked up a copy of Red Hat Linux. What a pile of crap! Why have these Linux losers chosen to ignore every advance in operating systems development of the last twenty years? Linux is a bad copy of an existing OS with a bad GUI pasted on top -- inferior to both UNIX and Windows, it amazes me that anyone uses it at all. Are people really so desperate that they'd eat shit just because the shit is free? Microsoft may be evil, but their product allows me to do more with my computer than any lame freeware OS."
Steve Stevenson, disgusted by Open Source
So there you have it! Windows is superior to both FreeBSD and GNU/Linux. But, if you really have enough time to waste configuring and using such models of antiquated technology, make sure that a properly licensed copy of Microsoft Windows is nearby. You can rely on it.
