Linux fundamentally relies on 30-year-old perating system technology and architecture.
Why are they continually harping on the fact that it's 30 years old? There's a reason Unix has been around that long and in those 30 years, a lot of work has gone into the OS.
Not only that but Windows in general is just something that was stolen, M$ has never innovated any of their big sellers:
MS DOS -- Stolen
Windows -- Stolen from Apple
Office -- Say! that looks a lot like Wordstar and WordPerfect
Age of Empires -- hrm...blizzard should kick their butts...its a fun game...too bad its by M$
For example how many certified engineers are there for Linux?
Why should someone have to pay thousands to learn how to turn on a computer...MCSE is a joke. The fact of the matter is when i need something for NT it rarely is free, and there is never no cost support. Sure, Linux admins may get payed a bunch, but they could login to any How-To site and get answers! How many how-to sites are there for NT? prolly not many.
Remember when you were a kid and you had something cool, and everyone tried to make theirs sound better? ie Microsoft...
I guess they have to make themselves seem better in order to seem better, Linux doesn't brag about how it's better, we don't go out of our way to prove them wrong...we just let them look like mindless idiots...
I was attending a volleyball game and as we were going in we saw it! i didn't know what it was till i saw it on the news. it was so bright, it lit up the night sky. very cool! JediLuke
thats ok if brits or whatever you are, wasn't an AC then i guess it would be ok, but i have lived outside the US and i realized how great it is...sure it has problems...but no where near what the rest of the world has...haha JediLuke
Well it was bound to happen, but people think that there is a need to control everything. This man is obviously a rightous coward. America is the "Land of the Free and home of the brave. We don't have liberty and justice (albeit somewhat slanted justice sometimes) to sit with our thumbs up our asses and rule the world. And don't be mistaken, we do rule the world, and we do this with our consitution and our freedom. Most people in other countries wish they could live like we do.
So obviously we need a haven for justice, freedom and liberty, where the rest of the world can try to pursue their dreams of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We regulate things in this country for safety purposes. But if this jerk wants to start a Nazi party, then do it else where. Sure the government controls the airwaves, but i'm against that too. If you don't like it, then don't watch/listen to it. you can change the channel/web page/radio station, unless your fingers are broken.
Perhaps what this country needs is a re-evaluation of its beliefs. we need to get rid of those money grubbing politicians who think they are in touch. They only come see what you want when they need too.
ELECT JEDILUKE for California State Senate!
Elect a computer geek for the state of computer geeks. Have your ideas expressed. Have your thoughts be a loud thorn in the side of the state!
Assuming i spelt that right...this looks like it might be intels stragety to get rid of it to affect Apple. Look how they used scare tactices against motherboard manufactures with AMD. Look how they do stuff that microsoft is guilty of...i'm not saying they are bad...but they are trying to control the market too much and it needs to stop. JediLuke
You know how the media loves fodder to blow everything out of proportion, so the mindless masses can say "oh computers are evil"? Its people like these that help the media procreate this steriotype that the internet is a hole of fraud, trechery, and deception. But the don't see it for what it can be, the greatest information resource on the planet. JediLuke
What about those lovely care packages from mommy and daddy. what about all that lovely hardware we order from the net...so until we get those cool printers like on the commercial that can print out physical items...snail mail will stay. I did read about something in wired that said that e-mail comprises about 50% in like 94 where in 84 snail mail was that much plus some.
well i work for an isp that uses netcom t1, and i guess they use mci, so we were down the better part of wednesday. i mean if you are going to hold a quarter of the infrastructure to the net...i think you ought to be able to have redundant systems and no down time. they owe the world something now
ok i don't want to be all one sided here...but isn't this MS stealing from Apple again...didn't apple have the OSX client and server thing first. Now there is win2k client and server...comeon...how gay. JediLuke
Uh, maybe there is the fact that you can get Linux for free, as many users as you want for free, and run lots of free program, without big brother looking over your shoulder. Anyone know what NT Server w/25 clients costs...like $3500 i think? $3500 != free i think not...viva linux!
