It's funny you should say this. I found slashdot to one of the most pro-Microsoft sites around. I'm talking about the forums of course. I get the impression that most of the so called nerds wouldn't know a good operating system design if they tripped over it. They seem to be sucked in by the pretty colours and wanting to play games. I thinks these 'nerds' are really just a bunch of children.
Why is it that slashdot forums are full of Windblows using game playing Micro$oft sycophants? Perhaps there should be a method of signing in members who can prove that they are adults and not children, just like the porn sites. This would stop the children from annoying us with their small minded talk of games. Computer games are really not very important to intelligent adults.
It's funny you should say this. I am old enough to be your father and I have the opposite experience. Most of the young people I meet think they are software engineers if they know how to reinstall MS windblows and write VB crap. Whereas old timers like me who are still in the business have had to reinvent ourselves often over the years as things change and we laugh at the youngsters who are fixated by the pretty colours and blinking lights of Windblow$. We were using graphical user interfaces before we even saw Winbloat and we are also capable on the command line, or even the front panel toggle switches.:-)
My sentiments exactly. The citizens of USA don't have a monopoly on ignorance and stupidity, they are just slightly more advanced. Australians can be as stupid as anyone. I'm not proud of having a leader such as John Howard who is a racist, elitist, arse licking scumbag. Even my 9 year old son knows Howard is an evil bastard. He can clearly see the social inequity in this country. New Zealand is looking good to me. If Howard wins again I may be moving there.
Cygwin under MS windows is like having a root through a hole in the wall. You may think it's the real thing but when you try the real thing you can't go back to this seedy behaviour.
You obviously haven't read a reasonable English dictionary lately. The term resource shouldn't be applied to people, this is a modern corporate usage and as usual in the corporate world, is misused. Most executive types are halfwits and only understand half of the English language.
What's wrong with using the word 'Personnel' instead of 'Human Resources'?
I have been using slackware since kernel version
1.something. I have tried others of course but
they just don't compare, especially when trying
to make obsolete machines do something useful.
I even use it at work where I am surrounded by
500+ windows users. It gets lonely but it has to
be like that when surrounded by mental midgets.

What do bicycle races have to do with it?

I was running a slide rule in my middle teens. I still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
