I agree with Gizzmonic. You're a fucking moron. Buy a new TV you poor piece of shit. Go to Best Buy on Canal Street in New Orleans and loot one, for fuck's sake.
The only power that any next-gen system needs is the power to output an HD resolution. None of the graphics I've seen so far looks like they couldn't be done on a Gamecube or Xbox.
Gizzmonic, you're a fucking faggot. A FUCKING faggot!
NEW YORK - The open source Linux operating system gets lots of media hype, but it hasn't caught on with medium-size businesses, a new study says.
Only 27% of midsize companies use Linux, while another 10% say they will evaluate Linux in the next three years, according to a survey of 1,422 firms conducted by Info-Tech Research Group of London, Ontario.
"This was surprising to us," says Frank Koelsch, executive vice president of strategy and research at Info-Tech, who authored the report. "We were expecting to find more interest and more buying intentions among our respondents."
Some 48% of respondents said they have no interest in Linux, and 15% said they're not sure whether they'll evaluate Linux in the future.
So much for the notion that Linux is going to take over the world and kill Microsoft.
"Almost half of the people we surveyed say they have no interest at all in Linux. That doesn't exactly indicate a hot market. The survey is a dose of reality amid all the media hype," Koelsch says.
Info-Tech focuses its research solely on midsize companies, which it defines as those with $1 billion or less in annual sales.
Koelsch says most midsize companies already use Microsoft products, which they can't replace entirely with Linux. So if they want to use Linux, they'll have to operate two types of systems instead of one, and most don't want the extra expense.
Companies have figured out that although Linux was once touted as a "free" operating system, in fact distributors such as Red Hat (nasdaq: RHAT - news - people ) and SuSE, a division of Novell (nasdaq: NOVL - news - people ), charge money for their products. Red Hat also charges hefty maintenance fees that have risen sharply over the years.
A spokeswoman for Red Hat says Info-Tech's results don't square with what Red Hat is seeing in the market. "We are finding massive adoption of Linux in all sizes of companies," she says.
Linux zealots will no doubt suspect this is just another Microsoft public relations ploy, but Koelsch insists Microsoft had nothing to do with this study. "It's completely independent research," he says.
Koelsch joined Info-Tech eight months ago after 20 years running Canadian operations for market researcher Gartner Group. He's worked in high-tech since 1972--so he's not exactly new to tech, or to doing research.
Nevertheless, within two hours of releasing a press release about this report, Info-Tech received e-mail messages from Linux fans saying that Koelsch doesn't know what he's talking about.
"We put this [report] out this afternoon, and already we've had negative responses to what is essentially a statistical analysis of a representative sample across many industries," Koelsch says. "It's interesting how religious some people are regarding Linux."
Koelsch insists his firm is not anti-Linux. "We couldn't care less. We simply report what our respondents tell us."
whoever modded this down is a goddamn faggot. why don't you go suck a dick faggot? or take a dick up your faggot ass?
Eh, faggot? you've got no reply because you've got a dick in your mouth right now, dont' you faggot? quit hiding behind the mod system and face me faggot? face me and watch me kick your faggot ass.
goddammit i fucking hate faggots.
I just heard on the radio that Terri Schiavo, star of the TV show 'Veggie Tales,' has died. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but Tom DeLay is a primary suspect. It is believed that had he been by her side, he could have chewed up a nice juicy Whataburger and spit it down Ms. Schiavo's throat, in a life-giving meat-kiss that could have, at least, prolonged the end. We can only hope that this criminal is brought to justice.
Terri will be remembered as true comedy pioneer. Her sitcom was the first to be simulcast on all cable news-entertainment networks, in an age where most television comedy was broadcast on one major network or another. "Let's remember Terri for what she accomplished, not for what a retard she looked like during the final third of her life. She brought together news organizations from the left and the right. She didn't have to pee for the final 5 days. Can you imagine? Not peeing for 5 days?" said that one catholic monk-looking dickhead.
Despite her accomplishments-- both on television, and in that one bed she's been lying in since 1990, Terri remained humble. When asked about whether fame and fortune had changed her outlook on life, she replied "AHHHHHHHH... WAAAAHHHHHH" and then made a guttural noise.
Terri, you will be missed. Whatever level of hell you are in.
Peace be with you.

YEAAAAAAH ALL YOU FUCKING BITCHES JUST WISH I MISSED FP BUT I DID NOT YOU FUCKING BITCHES!!!

Look, all I know is that God hates gays, and that is good enough for me. His love is pure and unconditional except on condition that you're a homo.
THAT is why I don't like looking at some dude. Women making love to one another is ok with God, because in truth all lesbians are cock-hungry whores just keeping each other warm while they wait on a man like me to show up and fuck them good.
Angel, you are a faggot. The verb is "diverge." "Divergent" is a fucking adjective. Learn the language and THEN tell people smarter than you that they're dumb. Fucktard.
Ohhhh! Alt-middle button! what a cocktacularly intuitive solution!
Unfortunately, my parents run linux on a mac, with the original one button mouse. Could I trouble you for a solution to that problem? Mom accidentally put her emacs window off the screen and now she can't see all of the letter she was writing.

I agree with Gizzmonic. You're a fucking moron. Buy a new TV you poor piece of shit. Go to Best Buy on Canal Street in New Orleans and loot one, for fuck's sake.
Some people have allergies. Be sensitive.
