As I'm sure has already been discussed, this is an utterly pointless question. Linux is without any doubt the most 'horses for courses' OS on the planet (before anyone flames me, I mean anything with a linux kernel and a GNU userland welded on top...ok?) so asking which is best is, frankly, asking for trouble.
For those morons on here posting "OMGGG LIKE GENTOO IS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER" etc etc, then let me say this: if you're a real gentoo user then its very philosophy makes a fool out of you. By now you should realize that the right Linux distribution, is the one you are successfully running.
It seems quite apparent to me that you (episteme) are nothing more than a troll.
It seems apparent to me that you are nothing more than an idiot. If by being a "troll" you mean someone who is consistently correct then yes, guilty as charged.
As an outsider, it seems to me that the person that you think you are "owning" presents a far more concise argument
Really? It would seem to me that the person concerned has chosen to ignore all points raised which he was unable to counter and concentrate his efforts on arguing over a post that wasn't even directed to him. In the light of this, I'd more than welcome a synopsis of his "concise argument". I could do with a laugh.
Go back to trollville, arse face!
I didn't realize you were twelve, sorry kid. Why don't you boot up your ub3r l337 windows machine and h4x0r me? I'm sure that would resolve everything.
You just can't admit to getting your ass handed to you, can you? You wanted a definition of the ineligible receiver downfield rule because, if your arrogance (nice going, idiot. Are you tired again?) , you didn't think I'd be able to provide one. Well that joke sure backfired, didn't it?
Are you really this stupid?
Read this slowly, word by word. Here's what I said:
'Is that like saying, Roast Beef is the traditional English lunch?
And you ruined it by pointing out I was half American:(
I KNOW HOW THE OFFSIDE RULE WORKS. I betyou don't know how the "ineligible receiver downfield" rule in REAL football works though, do you?
( I sure know how the "uninteligble comment" rule on here works though...look at the guy I replied to.:))) )'
Got that? Now please tell me how that in any way, shape or form relates to ANY of your previous posts. You can't can you? That's because that comment was in response to one from cs02rm0 who is a friend of mine, as I previously pointed out. He said (paraphrased)
'...is the traditional English spelling.
If anyone wants cannon fodder for episteme - he's half American. (Sorry Jamie, kinda).
Yes, every English male under the Sun knows how the offside law works, and I'd bet that not very many American men do...'
See, I even bolded the relevant parts so that even someone as ignorant as you couldn't miss them.
Now, please save yourself further embarrassment, and shh. Owning you is becoming boring.
You'd also do well to remember sweetie, that arrogant and right is far better than ignorant and wrong;)
It seems you wish to receive further schooling, ok.
Firstly, as I pointed out elsewhere, football has laws, not rules. Go find the relevant reply I made elsewhere for enlightenment.
Bullshit:)
Laws apply in situations where an external body, without the prerequsite of collaboration and/or acceptance with those they are intended to govern, enforce and oversee adherence to said laws whether they are agreed upon by the third party or otherwise.
Rules apply in situations where the governing body
merely oversee the observance of rules, which are accepted and adhered to by those participating usually without any necessary enforcement. Hence, this would apply to sports.
Secondly, yes I erred. That should have read "where you're from" as you pointed out. Mea culpa. That's what I get for staying up all night to watch the NFL late night game on TV
I wasn't aware that fatigue related to the ability to apply basic grammar in a sentence. I'd be interested to see the scientific study that concluded that. Caveat those who pull the straw from the eye of others, while missing the rafter in their own. There is a certain amount of irony, incidentally, in you watching a ball game.
Thirdly, I erred again. That should have read "which TV quiz has a conundrum round", but anyone who's British would have spotted the words "TV" "quiz" and "conundrum round" worked out what I was trying to say.
I'm not sure why your inability to construct coherent sentences should result in the inconvenience of me having to decipher what you're warbling on about. The only other person I have to do that for is my Niece. She's 6.
Lastly, I'd like to thank you for creating this new Slashdot account today just so that you could appear as a legitimate user replying to my post. (Your UID is 732930, just 23 less than the UID of the new account named "justchecking" I just created to see check my theory.)
Would you care to explain the subtle difference between someone with an account who is legitimate, and someone who isn't? I wasn't aware that why, when or how you created an account had a bearing on its legitimacy. I regularly read slashdot but have never really bothered paying much attention to the comments section. The reason I did today, was due to someone showing me something from said section.
I'd bet good money that you're the very person that I was replying to in the first place. Frankly, creating a new account just so that you could argue about my post without addressing its central issue (namely, that you're clearly not British, so pretending that you are to make your post seem more accurate is pathetic) is so sad that I don't have a superlative to describe it.
That rather contradicts your earlier comment of None of that changes the fact that the poster to whom I was replying is a lying bastard. He's about as British as Mount Rushmore and he knows it.Newsflash moron; I'm not the same person, although I have to admit that the fact you think I am and are basing your entire argument around this absurdity is rather funny. I have never claimed to be "British", I hold both American and British passports as I was born in the UK and have one British parent but I consider myself an American citizen. If you read cs02rm0's comment on my earlier post (he's a friend of mine) you will notice that he also points out this fact. As far as I was concerned, I couldn't care less what the other guy was on about he's probably as stupid as you, I addressed your rather bromidic post mainly because of its non sensical argumentation.
I appreciate that you have no doubt expended much energy in furiously typing your reply and have become rather atrabilious in the process. Unfortunately, had you not gone about it in the same manner as your original post, (ie with total ignorance) this wouldn't have happened.
"Realized"? Oh dear. Worse than using Americanisms is using American spellings. Outside North America the word is spelt "realised". Perhaps if you actually were from the UK you'd have learnt that.
Really? I think you will find that "realized" is the correct spelling whether you are in North America or not, sweetie.
Care to explain the offside law?
So the litmus test for being truly British, is the ability to explain a "law" (I think the word you're looking for is "rule") relating to an internationally renound sport? Interesting.
If you truly are British care to tell us where your from?
What's a "from?" That sentence implies he owns one. Remember kids; Your is a possessive noun, You're is the contraction of You are.
Or which TV quiz conundrum round?
Where do I start with this? You can't even construct a coherent sentence by this point.
Apart from all that, nice troll attempt. Now stop pretending to be something that you're not, you pathetic little man.
Now there I agree with you. There is nothing worse than, for instance, some idiot trying to pass himself off as intelligent by correcting spelling 'errors' that weren't even errors and using completely non sensical logic to make his point. I'd take your own advice kiddo.
Now return to your AOL chat room and talk with people more on your level, thanks;)

I may not be American but I bet I know more about the NFL than you'll ever do.
HAHAHAHAHA, so you're just a wannabe American instead. ok, all becomes clear.
