My comprehensive defense.
If I had a nickel for every time I've told vi "Alt F X", or told notepad "Colon X", (or wordpad Alt F X Y "fuck you") I'd be posting to forbes.com instead of slashdot.org.
OK, I've got the karma to take the OT hit to answer you.
You've been incrementally learning Windows for 10 years now. Every time you change versions you have to go through another learning-curve bump. "Where did they put "ODBC Drivers" now?". If you were suddenly presented with learning Windows on a tabula rasa, your learning curve and frustration level would be just as high as they are for a Windows user moving to Linux for the first time.
If you're a programmer, let me ask you this: How many text editors have you had to learn? Isn't it a pain in the ass learning a new one? "Hell, I already know 43 editors, I have no desire to learn another one". This does not make any of the editors you already know superior to the one you don't, nor does it make the new one inferior just because you don't. Different isn't a priori bad, it's just different.

I generally tend to agree with that, but as a guy running 8 200GB SATA drives on four controllers, I can tell you that the PCI bus gets saturated _way_ too quickly for my tastes.

Coke is saying "We'll give you a better discount than any of your competitors if you don't sell Pepsi".
If I can sell Coke cheaper than any one else, people will go out of thier way to buy from me.

Oh come on. When you install SQL Server, you have to reboot. New installations of infrastructure are a different matter than deploying a new virtual directory.

Sorry, this is abuse.
What "viruses for other operating systems"?
Are you suggesting that there's a better way than writing everything for the curses library?

It's not all CAPS, it's all bold. But it IS lame.
Well, it is a forty year old musical. (God, I'm suddenly very old).

Thanks, that's the funniest thing I've seen on Slashdot in days.
'Course now I have that damn song stuck in my head.

In other words, you become root if you call sys_wait4()with the __WCLONE|__WALL) flags

No, Intel tried (and failed) to trademark a number and so had to come up with names.

Depending on the mix of bricks in the different bags, this could be an interesting knapsack (partition) problem, as in NP-tricky.

Yeah. God forbid you be able to set something up with something so archaic as a script.
That'll teach me to waste sublety on moderators.
