Quite honestly, I gave it a fair shake. I'm writing this on RH right now, but frankly, I got sick of having to become an expert in the most obscure packages, libraries, and concepts, and management, and security, and filesystem heirarchies, and where to find more manuals, and what a socialy acceptable way to perform the fix.
If a piece of software doesn't work, why do I have to find out which library is dependant on which version of another library, and when I install a binary, why the heck do I have to downgrade a compiler, and if dependencies are met, it could be something retarded like an unorthodoxed port the software uses which my firewall blocks.
Oh, and to live up to this thread's title.... Stop with the attitude already. If I hear RTFM one more time, when I damnwell read the fucking manual, I'm going to snap.
mod me down. I don't care. You mac people revel in the fact that you're stupid. I'm embarased if I can't punch my PIN into the bank machine in under.2356 nanoseconds, and you people think that you've stumbled on a revolution in computing because it's fucking easy to install a printer driver?
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY. IT'S A COMPUTER.
Keep your pretty assed interface. Just don't be surprised when your unix co-workers cut and paste into a text file, and you're still astounded that you can do such advanced data manipulation.
"modern operating-system features like separate accounts for each user".
I've worked in several mac only environments, and none of the users even knew that they had multiuser capability. Even when shown that it existed, they didn't think they needed it, or whined and complained about the extra hastle and step of logging in, even though they complained about how people were stealing their files, and reading their email.
Yeah, microsoft....Mac users are going come in droves over user accounts.

I need to get my eyes checked. I thought I read "Saddam Hacks Xbox" Guess everybody's taking a shot at those babies.

cool. Thanks for that mirror. I'm d/l'ing at 115kbps now, and the best I could get anywhere else was 1k all day.
Don't be such a freak. Nobody's forcing you to register it.
