He knows more than you do about computing so calling HIM dumb, when YOU are forced to ask questions on how he outposts yourself, even registerd lusers, and blows off the puny restrictions here (and elsewhere)?
Maybe some people have better things to do than go here and recycle open proxies with this. Get a life and stop being so full of yourself. If you think you're somehow "l33t" because you can operate a web browser and click some buttons you are more pathetic than I could have imagined.:-*
You are such an asshole. You can't get 10 words out in a post without insulting the person you're talking to. If you are that unhappy with your life that it is making you so miserable, why don't you just walk outside where the mess won't bother people so much and blow your brains out?
I'll make a deal with you. If you admit you're wrong I'll remove your quote from my sig. It doesn't have to even be an all out mea culpa. Just nod your head a little.
Your comeback is a tired internet meme? Why don't you respond to what I said rather than going off on tangents like you're trying out for The United States of Tara? You got caught, dude. Admit it. Your argument hinged on linking to security reports that the writer of the report explicitely states can't be used to compare competing products. Yet you can't just admit you're wrong. You got beat by the better debater (not to mention cold hard facts). Be a man and have some dignity.
It means you can buy stacks of them for the price of one of those phones the ten year old kid has in his pocket. If you can't see the value in that I don't know what to tell you.
Are you from the future because last I checked Windows 8 is still in preview and windows phone 8 hasn't been seen at all in the wild yet you're talking about this like it's after the fact.
Hey, stupid, do you actually read the actual reports that those vulnerability advisories come out of? The very first lines in every single one of them is:
PLEASE NOTE: The statistics provided should NOT be used to compare the overall security of products against one another. It is IMPORTANT to understand what the below comments mean when using the statistics, especially when using the statistics to compare the vulnerability aspects of different products.
Now go back to fucking them little old ladies out of their social security checks in your shitty little store because you are obviously not equipped to have a conversation about security when the you HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE ARTICLES YOU LINK TO. Fucking fraud. You and your alter ego APK keep posting the same bullshit because you think it supports your BS and it doesn't. You haven't even read what you are linking to is what's so funny. Did you think you would just get away with that? How many times do I have to fucking Pwn you on this message board before you've had enough? Do you just like showing how much an ignorant moron you are? BTW, that's why you keep getting modded down. I guess the secret's out.
Finally got your fat piece of shit self up to reply, huh? Fuck off, sheister motherfucker. A serious rebuttal to you is like responding to the town raving drunk. Loser.
Your ignorance and delusions have been exposed many many times. But who doesn't love a good sequel? For your reading pleasure, I will make AHairyPFeetK look like the ignorant retard he is once again.
Now let us see what he is AFRAID TO SHOW YOU because it is the TRUTH. The CORRECT quote is "As far as the user is concerned there is NO CLI in windows"
As far as the user is concerned, there's not a lot of things in a lot of things. Newsflash: advanced functionality is for advanced users. Duh. All you are illustrating is the typical Windows user is clueless about the features embedded in their OS of choice. They probably don't know much about "Administrative Tools" either. But for advanced uses, like, oh, I don't know, Goup Policy editing, it is a must. So, to follow your logic, there is no such thing as "Group Policy Editor" in Windows. You are a myopic trollish fool.
Linux? Puts the terminal on the desktop
You are a fucking liar. Ubuntu which is the distro in use by half of Linux desktop users does not put anything on the desktop. To access the terminal, you have make multiple clicks through the menu. It is well hidden. So not only are you a troll but you are an ignorant liar.
walk up to 100 people in the street and ask them "How do you call up command line in Windows" and you know what you are gonna get? "Whats a command line"
Why don't you do that? Because you are talking completely out of your ass? Thought so. Think about it, if you can. Out of the total population of Windows users, a certain percentage is going to know what the command prompt is. What percentage that is, I don't know but I guarantee you it is above zero. And you know it. So not only are you ignorant and a liar but you are also intellectually dishonest.
I don't want to blow your teeny tiny little pea brain but let's put the situation another way since you are so fond of "statistics". By definition, more technically literate people are going to be using Ubuntu because it takes a willful choice to install it on your hardware in the first place. So, we are already talking about people with above average aptitude with computers. What percentage of the pop uses Linux? About 1-2 percent depending on who you ask. What percentage of people can probably tell you what the command prompt is on windows? Probably the same 1-2 percent. Think about it, simpleton.
if your driver model isn't shit then why does Dell have to run their own repos
The same reason they have their own support area where you can download their drivers for hardware running Windows. And that driver model that you call "shit" --as if a pathetic piece of shit like you could even begin to recognize driver code if it slapped you in the face-- is the reason the Linux kernel runs on everything from embedded gumstick sized arm boards all the way up to supercomputers and everything in between. It's called portability, stupid. It's the reason Google chose to keep Dalvik for Android. So that I can install Android on my netbook and actually use the apps. One of the main reasons the Linux kernel is so portable and fills so many niches is because many of the drivers are in the kernel and can be compiled right along with it. So my USB 3G dongle that works on my x86 laptop also works on my Asus Transformer. Thank you, Linus Torvalds. Fuck you bassbeast.
How about how a decade old Windows beat the shit out of Linux on netbooks or how ASUS has given up on your bullshit or how about Walmart running away from linux as fast as it can?
Simple Simon always looking for the simple answer. Obviously for an operating system to succeed, it needs a complete package. And for an OS to succeed against Windows that is completely entrenched in the consciousness of billions of people and the entire computing landscape will require a monumental effort. There are two main reasons consumers reject Linux on the desktop:
Wasn't that mostly due to the cost of the memory chips in the cartridges though? Neo Geo games were 150-200 dollars and it was definitely for that reason.
Damn dude. Do you have stock options in the Windows 7 start menu or something? You are singing its praises like its your job or something.
.and if the complaints are merely cosmetic in nature ("Ugh, scrolling is just so lame!!") than they're even less relevant to the conversation than the functionality complaints.
Was that Verizon bloatware drivers or ones from the actual manufacture of the device?
I really couldn't tell you. It's just what came with the device. I do know that you could dial up with it without opening the application and it still took a minute or so to get a connection and it would still drop so I'm inclined to believe that the driver was what caused it and I don't think Verizon writes actual drivers.
When you say free to you actually mean full open source?
Yes, I do have an opinion but it wasn't on whether the Start ball should be there or not. Here, let me remind you of what you said:
People screaming about the start button are, imho, idiots.
My beef is with the fact that you are referring to people that don't agree with you idiots. That's what started this whole ball rolling. I notice that a lot of windows fanboys do that. Just jump out of the gate with the insults. I usually try to be civil about it but today the only thing I could come up with was "Fuck you".
I've had some reversed engineered drivers in Linux that stomped the closed source Windows counterparts. A USB cellular data dongle I got from Verizon years ago took over a minute to connect in windows and would disconnect constantly. In Linux with the free driver it connected in about 5 seconds and never disconnected unless I explicitly told it to. I'm sure there's more to it than just the driver itself but just because something is a reverse engineered piece of code doesn't mean it's going to be worse especially if the OEM intentionally puts some bullshit in their drivers to please their real customers, e.g., Verizon et al.
And yet you've not cited a single fact to refute my position.
Note I separated out the start button from the start menu issue. The lack of a start button itself is a complete non-issue, and to throw a huge hissy-fit about it is pretty idiotic.
What position? That the start menu is redundant? I don't care either way. A "discoverability" argument could be made but you are arguing with the voices in your head here. I don't have an opinion on this and never even implied that I did. Do you speak English?
Sorry, but the start button is completely redundant.
Where did I say anything about the start button being redundant or not? Do you really need to just make shit up to argue against?
an irrational name-calling idiot.
So in your opinion I'm irrational and I call people names. So...your comeback is to...wait for it...call me a name. So not only are you too stupid to comprehend what I said and respond to it but you're a hypocrite too. Fuck off, loser.
I don't give a shit about your choice in OS or anyone else's, but these complaints are just silly.
So you don't give a shit and you think its silly yet you feel the need to devote this much time to whine about other people's concerns? You need to take a look in the mirror and learn to be a little more honest with yourself. You should also consider the fact that what works for you is just that and what works for other people is none of your business. If people like flyout menus you going on and on about Windows 7 like they've never used it before is completely pointless. We all get that you can type and search. We get pinning and desktop shortcuts ad infinitum. The problem is you think the world revolves around you. It doesn't. If you cut your throat shaving tomorrow morning and bleed out on the bathroom floor nobody is going to give the smallest shit. Learn some perspective.
Every post I've seen by you has some insult towards the person you are talking to in it. If you're that unhappy that you have to abuse the people you are talking to constantly why don't you just walk outside and blow your brains out?

It's called a laptop. Not something that could double as a lunch tray for the whole table.
Oh, and before I forget, Slashdot filters AC's now so if you want me to read your drivel, you'll have to log in.
